Hello everyone ^-^/
Elisa:
I was the first to start working on this because I was doing the lineart. I extended the scan a little so it would have
the proportions of a wall and had to paint some additional leaves which wasn't very much fun to do. When the
lineart was finished I sent it to Zix and she colored Yakumo and all the leaves. I liked the texture she used on the
leaves and acorns. She asked me to do the shadows on the cat because she wasn't sure about how to color the fur. At
first I tried to indicate the fur using brushes but in the end I decided to overlay the cat's body with this
texture. I think it fits perfectly.
When Yakumo, the kitty and the leaves were all colored and shadowed, I colored the little drops of dew and the lineart.
We both agreed that there should be more textures, more precisely on the book's cover and Yakumo's jeans. Zix
chose them and according to me, she chose well. I wasn't very sure about the upper right corner because the leaves
were pretty much cut off suddenly there so I tried to hide that using a lot of white light. I added some rays of
sunlight to make a smoother transition from an almost entirely white corner to an extremely colorful image. Then
saturated the whole thing, and used some darkening gradient on the bottom left corner. I still think there's too
much light overall and that sole leaf looks like it's emitting all of it but Zix didn't complain and left it
there. I still think we should try to paint more leaves or ground or some tiles so this may get updated in the
future.
Zix:
This time you see the second collab of Elisa and me
:DD If anybody remembers it's been quite long ago aaand right after our first collab we decided to make another one
with this awsome scan (Thanks to Shirayuki-san)
I can't say there was articulate division of duties, we just made things we do best and cheacked each other ^-^
Firstly Elisa drawn missed parts and vectored the lineart, then I fullfilled the pic with colours (yeah, leaves could kill! Maybe it was the main reason of finishing the wall for so long).
There're 10 (!) different kinds of leaves and 10 different kinds of their colours. Highlights and shadows are put
on them by hand (long-long-long putting tiny details @_@ Elisa even asked me if I'm still sane XDD).
Elisa also coloured the kitten and the lineart :3
To make the wall look more interesting we added some textures (if anybody is
interested in).
After that we combined our abilities to add all the sun and lightning effects.
About the whole impressions: I knew that I didn't have the abilities to make such wall by my own and was really
glad when Elisa agreed to wall it together :3 Also it's even good that creating the wall took so much time - I
changed Yakumo several times. Looking back to my experience of making walls from the work's beginning I could
honestly say - it was much worse than now. I'm trying to improve my vectoring abilities from wall to wall. And
saying that Elisa has improoved her skills means saying nothing. She totally
sharpened her art proficiency and created her style. I'm happy to have such friend :DD
Also we both haven't seen the anime, sorry if there're any inaccuracies
Comments and faves are appreciated :)
