Artist Comment

I wanted to try out a painting, watercolor style wallpaper like the types that Candy-chan and Meg are so wonderful at making. Something different, and totally not my style, because it's good to try out other things once in a while or you'll go stale. I found I really liked this scan of Tohru (EDIT: I found a larger version. Too bad I didn't start with this scan instead...) (EDIT2: This isn't Tohru! It's Hanajima Saki! Argh!) because of the solitude, calmness, and serenity it held. Since it's manga art, it fit nicely into a watercolor, more organic image I wanted to make. I basically just redrew the rest of the classroom (a fun exercise in perspective), made a new sky (4 stock photos from Stock Exchange with various blending properties plus a bird stock I used in my old Kino wallpapers, and hued to match the original) and then it was smudge away! I smudged the entire image to soften the edges and smooth out the colors. I'm especially pleased with how her hair turned out. Afterwards it was just a few minor color corrections (made it rosier, for warmth) and added a title, and there you go.
I don't think I'll do too many in this style, but it was a pleasant experience and quite relaxing. It will be interesting to see if I can adapt this style to my vectors. But... not yet. I have a bunch of traces waiting to be done...

    wow it's amazing, but if the wall above the window is pink it looks like the sky. i know the original scan has the same colors but it looks strange to me. anyway the room is clean and pretty and i like the atmosphere.

    Uwaii~!!^__^ Thanks for walling this, Tama-neko. Your work looks so professional.. love the way you did this, it almost looks as if the whole thing were a 2-page scan.^^ Very beautifully extended.. you should do more of this!!

  3. FallenAngel Mar 20, 2005

    I love these types of walls ;_; too bad you won't be making too many of these. You really did a good job at recreating the classroom and the sky looks *_*

    you did a really great job making the right side
    also nice job cleaning up the scan for teh left side
    the colour looks more vibrant and the sky is nice

    the frame for the window seem to appear thinner than that in the scan..
    I think its the colour.. if you get what I mean~

    its a really nice job overall ^^

    Hmm, nice wallpaper Tama-neko. The clouds go very well with the scan, and you redrew everything so well. I thought you were going to be working on this alot longer *from when you showed us the preview in the irc.*. Good job, your scenic wallpapers are always very nice to view.

  11. UndyingShadow Mar 20, 2005

    wow beautiful wall, I love the design of this wall, and the bg. you chose great colors for the sky and the clouds, and it matches the scan very well.

  13. exelro Mar 20, 2005

    beautiful sky , make really good . background and scan blend very good too. NIce work :)

  14. Mordin Mar 21, 2005

    ah nice, the back drop of the sunset is very beautiful, the color just fit the mood for this wallie. The relfection of the sun light is perfect, it is not overpowering, and the persepctive for this wallie is just right. The birds are very neat, their placement is just right, and they actually fly in the pattern you would imagine birds would fly. :D wonderful job Tama. :)

  15. meteorcloud Mar 21, 2005

    keep the works tama ^_^~!

  17. shinorei Mar 22, 2005

    Tohru-kun looks nice!!{Even though she looks different..haha} I also love this watercolor effect you made on her and the wallpaper. It turned out great.

  18. markjo Mar 23, 2005

    I love your choice of colours for the setting sun and I really appreciate your tutorial, though I am not much of a wallpaper maker.

  20. NightmareOfYourDreams Mar 25, 2005

    Thats beautiful! Tohru look so cute! I've never seen this wallpaper before. I think Tohru might want to go outside. She just looks like she wants to be out instead of in school. ^^
