Tag away, taggers.
I sense laziness at work *squints* But I'll let it slide since you made a vector wall with sparkles and I got joy
out of adding the Sparkles tag to it.
Overall I like this, especially the pink and mauve and red hues. IMO the yellow looks good; it does keep everything from
looking too cold, so good call on that. Something as small as an overlay effect can do wonders sometimes. The gradients
are what make this wall look as appealing as it does, though; the way they change from one strand of hair to another,
without looking out of place, really shows you have a good eye for coordinating colors and bringing different hues
together well.
The fadeout effect on her dress is pretty neat too!
That being said, I'm not too keen on the sparkles themselves. They do vary in size and color (I like that they "follow" the gradient in the background), but they're...identical in look. Blurring a few of them would help blend them in with everything better - especially with the blurred part of her hair and smoke. Not too sure about the sparkles on the left - the ones overlapping her hair; with the low opacity (due to Overlay?), they look more solid than not, whereas they're supposed to be particles of light. Low opacity isn't bad at all, but I personally would have them looking more solid (less transparent) and brighter at the center, with the edges slowly becoming more and more see-through.
And speaking of her hair, is it blurry due to the smoke covering it, or the distance? It seems strange that only part of it is blurred, instead of the entire strands; it does make for a nice look on the left side, which I admit I haven't seen too often and resulted in an appreciative eyebrow raise.
Also, I don't know if it was intentional or not (maybe I'm blind and missing something), but there are some strange, sharp shapes in the background, like on the right of her head (overlapping the clouds) and on the left (clouds too). They look like rough shapes with low opacity.
Barring this, it's a pretty good wall. The part I like most is the hair, if only for the way you played with the gradients. Vector quality is top notch, as usual, and the tears are a nice detail. *thumbs up* You keep doing that good work you do, Val.
