Scan

I really had intended to submit this sooner, but with the semester about to finish for me I've been really busy trying to get caught up on my still life painting and 3D Modeling assignments @_@ I don't know about anyone else, but this semester seems to have flown by ridiculously fast.

Anyways, the title comes the lyrics of a Mami Kawada Song Get My Way!:

????make my way
?????????????? ??????

Translation:
And so I make my way
With the hand you gently reach out to me, I can become invincible

This wallpaper was a bit odd for me because unless you count the individual petals that I painted in front of Shana & Yuji, I only used two scans total. Since the wallpaper had to be old-school extraction I had a hard time finding a picture of a couple to extract that didn't end with me wanting to vector it... I've always loved this scan of S&Y (because I think they're adorable <3 ), but I had no idea how to go about a background for them... until I found the cherry blossom scan. The background kind of makes me think of Misaki City from Shana's anime- especially with all the scenes of Yuji walking through the cherry blossoms, so I wanted to try it out. The background was so huge I positioned it how I wanted it without it looking just like the original background, and then painted the girl and her bicycle out of the image. I spent an absurd amount of time cleaning the scan of Shana and Yuji so that it didn't have the scanner dots all over it, and touching them and the bg up with painting and smudging to give them a similar style. Honestly, this took me far longer than if I had tried to vector it.... another reason I tend to get bored with basic tracing vectors now, I guess. I also had to draw in more of Shana's skirt and hair because the original scan crops it off. Lastly, I filtered it with different colors to get a nice, consistent hue across the piece.

P.S. - I didn't alter Shana's hair to dark brown (even though they are clearly in the normal world) because it's cute and vibrant and I like it's color with the cherry blossoms :)

ALTERNATE VERSIONS
--------------------------------
The second version from the top has the lyrics I mentioned above on it.

    Awww, this is so lovely <3
    Great spring colors, it's so vibrant and cheery looking.
    It really does remind me of the Shana openings, at least the tender looking
    ones lol.
    Considering how hard it is to work with extracted work because
    of the quality, I want to say you really did a nice job trying to fix it.
    Especially on the tree, the grainy quality is dying to overpower your work XD
    Nice job, goodluck on the contest :3

    *admires your scan cleaning skills*

    I like how you integrated the foreground so well with the background in terms of positioning and art style. My only slight complaint is that their skin is a bit too dark and yellow
