That has to be the most challenging wallpaper I made so far. And for one particular reason: everything from the tori to the bird is painted from total scratch with references pictures. Photoshop CS + 8 days work + sleep time consuming plz (thx Nat for the scan in PZ).

You know why daytime sceneries are so hard to draw? Because you cannot hide details in shadows like you'd do with night sceneries. And I have to admit this background was a real pain. I started drawing the stairs and the tori (gate) which bears the kanji "soul" to the left. I let you guess what's the one to the right :D. I think I quite succeeded to catch the same perspective as the characters which was just maybe out of luck.

I added the fence and the brick wall out of ideas... I really didn't know what to draw there. It finally turned out ok but it was still looking kinda empty. So yeah, go me, I added cliche sakura tree loosing a goddamn huge pack of drops. XD But this is what gives the whole magical and serene feeling to this wallpaper.

As last touches, I added first the far-away shrine. Nothing much to say on this one. And finally, the little bird. If you've seen the serie, you'll know it's a minor character in the early episode. That was just too cute not to be drawn. XD Oh and hum... the scan was recged too.

It's funny how Rukia really seems to climb my stairs and Ichigo had his right hand perfect for grabbing my petal. @_@ Oh well, enough babbling, enjoy the work.

    That wall seems like it took you forever to create! It looks really beautiful btw! The BG you created on your own is stunning, however did you create such an incredible scenery! I need to learn from you, cause I want to create some scenic BGs for my walls in the new year! Anywho, it must've took a lot of layers to create this! I really, really like this! :D I can look at this in my lifetime! :) Thanx for sharing, Sandy! ^_^V

  5. Foolish-ishness Dec 23, 2004

    This is great. The BG fits in soooo well. [Rukia is so cute]

    The only problem is, is that there seems to be a little too many sakura blassoms

  6. dusk Dec 24, 2004

    From scratch?? Damn, all your hard work is showing through in the wall. Can't think of anything else to say other than great work. :) (Well, that and that it's now a fave of mine)

  11. Electrastar Dec 25, 2004

    Arrgghh....I'm so late with saying how cool this wallpaper is....I must say my friend that you have what is called patience...i don't think I could have spend seven days on just one wallpaper....but it was worth it. The original scan and the backround are crisp and clean and very colorful.

    Terrific work as usual Sandy.

  12. Zeldapika Dec 26, 2004

    This is really beautiful. I can only imagine the hours it took to do the detail that you have described; Great work!! :)

  13. Noctum Dec 26, 2004

    The characters go very well with the nice looking bg and this is also one of the few wallpapers where I have to admit that pink looks good.
    Great work, sandy. :)

  14. Sayaki Dec 26, 2004

    Kyaa! Bleach! I love the concept! The sakura blossom is like really crazy, haha, it's everywhere! The sky is really beautiful, I love your clouds! I think you did a great job on the branches but it could be alittle bigger and further out but overall it gives off a dreamy, happy feel! The scan is crisp and clean! Awesome Job! An instant fav!
    omg... o.O
    This is an awesome wall! And you did this all fromscratch??? *bow down*
    i tried making a fence once... utterly failed it... >____<
    You did all that?? it is simply amazing!! awesome bg... perfectly in perspective and everything with the scan... I cannot critisize it at all...
    the clouds are jusy awesome... how did you do all that??? It is magnificent... a definite fav!

  19. tecnophreak Dec 27, 2004

    someone please delete alzter's posts, geez. on another note, awesome work on the bg. the only complaint I have is that the characters havea bit of trouble blending (pure color of the girls hair to the smoothness of the bg) other than that, great 9.7/10

  20. ultimaslair Dec 27, 2004

    Wow! Very nice! I can tell the entire background took you quite some time! It really paid off though, it looks really great! Really love your use of the sakura petals, just fluttering all about. It's very nice. And the perspective of the image is awesome. Really seems like the two are just jumping down those stairs! This really is a wonderful wall! Great job!

  21. Pri Dec 27, 2004

    Very nice! Good job making that background! Very nice prospective. Keep up the good work!

  22. katsukun Dec 27, 2004
