I am back from the dead.
I had no idea what to name this wall. I decided to go with "Morning's Grace" because I wanted to depict the feeling of it. The freshness of the air when I first walk outside to greet the new day is what relaxes me. The sun's rays blanketing my body to provide some warmth in midst of the coldness. I always loved that feeling because it just rejuvenates my body.
The grace part originates from how gentle the light is. It isn't strong like the afternoon sun that slaps you in the face most of the time. Of course, it also refers to the character. H2SO4 is known for drawing delicious lolis in soft pastel colors. I liked how the character has her arm at an angle and wrist curved. Her hair just wraps around the arm and flows down. Everything is just so curvy on this character. Her soft expression adds on to how graceful she looks like. The way her hair bunches up and fans out is just beautiful.
The Background
After having to look back at my past walls. I realized my strength is in improving the current scan to make it look
better than the original. While I prefer creativity in original walls or backgrounds, I can't seem to do it myself.
I always plan to do too much and get tired of it lol. Sometimes I just don't execute it the way I want to and end
up dropping it in frustration. Foreseeing the work load is another downer.
Anyway, I started off by extending her hair and legs. I didn't go for a whole body extension because I felt it would be wasted effort. The initial placement was the composition I wanted. Extending her body further would of added more space for the background I didn't want. I also didn't want to draw bare feet because people would bother me to hell on how I failed so hard. ;_;
Now actually moving on to the background. The clouds were painted using the smudge and brush tool. I used a slim oval brush for tearing and a circle brush to round off the edges. I wanted very light clouds that blended/faded into the sky. Epic thick twilight clouds with super duper coloring and several tiers is for another wall. Later on I added pale yellow lighting to increase the warmth. White lighting is present to add intensity to the lighting and help match the character's initial lighting.
The daises, omfg. When I was doing the floor I was going, "how the hell am I going to do this?" My plan was to create a first layer of daises. I didn't want to copy and paste only 2-3 of them. So I vectored about ~15 unique daisy designs and duplicated from there. The first layer is 60+ daises even though it doesn't look like it. After that I went and copy pasted the daises creating several tiers. I applied drop shadows and color overlays for simple depth perception. I know I could have done a better job but my patience was running out >__>.
I hope you enjoy the wall!
