Thanks for the Elite and feature in wings-lovers

Here is a wallpaper from me. Full view and please read before commenting. It's a bit long but you won't understand what is happening in the process picture if you don't read.

I found this scan
[scan]231183[/scan]

Ok, I made a guide picture so that you'll have an idea what I'm taking about in my desciption.

When I was doing the lineart of the scan, I found the part behind Syaoran's hair weird because I don't know if it was Sakura's skirt covered under the cherryblossoms or what ( see the original scan ). I stared at it really hard and I finally figured it out. It was a bouquet! The cherryblossoms in the bouquet are from here

After finishing up the characters. The BG is next. I got the BG inspiration from here

I vectored the church and based the grasses from there ( Phase 3 ). Next, texturize the grasses and I finished up vectoring the church because as you can see from Phase 3 it's obviously not complete so that's Phase 4.

At first I thought that it's already done! I mean I'll just add some shadows and highlighting effects in step 3 as well as some clouds and finish, but I really thought something was missing if I finished it that way, don't you think? so I proceeded to adding Sakura trees behind just like the original scan ( Phase 5 ).

I really don't know how to create Sakura trees so I thought of giving up and letting the Sakura trees remain as it is in Step 6. but the more I looked at it it's really weird and wrong! I read tutorials etc.. but found nothing because they are mostly photomanipulation of real Sakura trees. Finally I found kaze-hime's tutorial of creating own brushes. I imagined what a tree would look like and slowly I mess around which produces Phase 7 phew!

I added rays of sunlight ( Phase 8 ) plus the clouds and shadowing of the church. OK Done!

Here it is then!
I hope you guys like it. comments and faves are very much appreciated!

    Aaw sweetie thank you for the dedication! I've been waiting for your work <3 And I think it is very good! I love the sakura tree you created, you've put a lot of effort into it and it shows. your work is very clean, which is a definite +. Nice line work as well, only one thing: the lines around sakura-chans arm are a little to ...how do I say this...well they should be a little more rounded? well it's especially around her elbow.
    But nothing too bad, just something to pay attention too next time :3
    I'm curious what you'll do next ^^ I'll be watching you! and remember: We're here if you need us <3

    Nice vector. I also did some CLMAP vectors too so I also think it's not that hard to vector CLAMP... just patience. I like the Bouquet although the colors are bit off... should be more similar to the tree. The sky blends in well with the pinks but the dark green does need more blending. The church is a nice addition... but they're still too young to marry^^

    kawaii! hope you will make more of it.. ^_^

    Ah, this is fantastic work ^^
    You did a very nice job with fitting this all in nicely, it doesn't look cluttered
    or squished. I really like how you did the bush, it's very chrisp looking
    and the texture works wonderfully on it. I'm not too sure if it really matches
    with that big cherry blossom tree you got above it but I think it's a nice color diversity.
    I think they need more shade on their outfits, it's a bit too light and gives the impression that they don't have any shade at all.

    The lighting is nice and I get what you wanted to do but I think
    it came out too harsh and it looks a bit odd and very distracting.

    The white light should look more open onto the whole sky rather than just
    that one spot, and if your going for that light shining through look you'll have to apply
    that to the cheery blossom tree as well. Meaning there should be streaks of light on them both as well.

    The church is a nice touch, really nice choice to add it in.
    Maybe it could use a slight blur since it does look far away from them,
    especially at that view you made.

    I like the simple looking sky, though I think the clouds are positioned
    a bit off. They look a bit clumped with eachother, maybe move one over and try
    spreading them more over. Looks a bit weird with just two puffs of clouds there, cute but odd XD

    And lastly, your sig is very light. Make sure to make it dark so
    people can see it and it lessens your chances of people stealing.

    Wonderful job on this, I hope to see more great things from you <3

    while i do think the sakura trees and the trees in the background are awkward, the vectoring is pretty strong. a few tips
    1) the trees in the background don't match the color scheme of the wall, they need to be more yellow + lighter to blend with the time of day and the pastel work.
    2) any type of tree is usually difficult because people dont define the form properly. it's hard to do, but there should be some lighter lumps here and there to should where the "bundles" are. i usually err on the side of dont make trees because i'm lazy though :3.
    3) your lineart is really jagged in certain places + too gray IMO. i dont know if its because of the way you vector or the effects you have over the lines. usually you want to bring the lines above all the other layers to keep it soft + sharp at the same time. the color should really be a deeper but more saturated color--try red or purple shades
    4) i encourage you to use sharper shades here and there esp in their arms + skin + clothing, as well as the church in the background. this will make everything seem more in focus. For example, the shadow that is cast by the chimney should be sharper, not all blurred. same with the lighting in the sky--sharper edges on one side will make it look like light, and not just an afterthought.

    good job and i invite you to join
