Sister Princess Wallpaper
Naoto Tenhiro Mangaka Sister Princess Series

Artist Comment

This is an unexpected outcome. Why? I originally planed to remake my Jam wallpaper (you know, the one which sucks XD) but I dumped the idea in the process because I really didn't like that scan of her. Since I already started taking time painting the sky, I decided to keep it and look for a picture with close colours and shades. I stumbled upon this scan of Sister Princess by Nat ( sister princess beach wear by nat )! It was just perfect but the extraction was a pain in the a** with all her hair.

The whole background (sky, sea, beach, seagulls) and foreground (leaves) are painted with Photoshop CS using various references. I try to improve my painting skills as much as I can... @_@;

I hope you won't find the title style too cheesy for I really ran out of idea. XD *sorry*

Full view = nice details. 2 days works. Comments and favs welcome. ^_^

P.S.: I know the light and shadows of Sakuya are not coherent with the sunset light source. *sorry again*

    Wow. The colors are just simply fabulous, and I can't believe you painted the whole thing! It's incredible! I just love how smooth and gorgeous the colors are, you did a wonderful job! ^_^

    Great job! Your work always looks clean and professional. :) I like the colors you picked for the sky; they match up well with the subject. The grass on the sides seems to add a certain perspective to the piece.

    The colors are indeed very nice here, but one nitpicky complaint. From the oranges in the clouds, it looks like the sun should be setting off to the right and behind her which doesn't agree with the shadows. Like I said, it's just nitpicky, the wall still looks great.

    Very nice. I love the colours and the scene that's painted. Looking through the tall grass/plants at the beach, the blur is perfectly in perspective, etc. Excellent as usual.

  11. Yumi-Chan Dec 06, 2004

    Gah I've missed sooooo much too......but here I go nonetheless heres the review.


    O.o Now heres something you don't see everyday, an angel to make the viewer feeling like their actually peaking through the grass....as if to be spying on her......very interesting to say the least. I must say this gives a whole new meaning to 'First Person Viewing' espically how its presented in walls. Sadly thats the price you pay for extracting someone with their hair let loose, though work to bear fruit can be worth it and this is a very fine example of that. I'm lookin' at one HELL of a extraction, great work if I do say so myself. As for the background? Well I think Biri said it best with.

    Quote by biriwilg I can't believe you painted the whole thing!

    I can't believe it either, but here is the proof right infront of me so what else am I to believe? That is simply outstanding. To put that much work and going through all that to make this simply gorgeous sunset beach scenery.....thats something else. I doubt I will be able to forget this anytime soon, by far the best background I've seen thats been painted by the maker.... Unbelievable. Favorite hands down for that reason alone, not to mention the whole wall as one. Excellant work.

    Wow ! It's unusual to see such painted bg, and it's the first I see to be so well done ! Really outstanding work, and yeah the scan is extra quality, and the grass is an interesting touch, like CyanideBlizzard said ^^. Great wall :)

  22. papyworld Dec 06, 2004

    magnifique j'ajoute ca aux favoris ^^ j'aime bien le concept des hautes herbes ca donne l'impression qu'on est en train de l'epier ^^ sympathique.
    bravo encore

    The thumbnail absolutely does no justice to this wall. After a glance, the only reason I clicked it is well, cause it's by Sandy---and I'm so glad I did ^^ There's so much detail in it and the tones of the background match her perfectly. And the rounded out beach makes it even more convincing that we're peeking in at her. Yeah, great stuff ^^

  24. Kenzotsuke Dec 07, 2004

    wow!tres joli wall,jm po beaucoup le scan(avis perso hein^^")mais tre sympa ton idee aussi pour l'herbe en premier plan!
