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.
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...

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.

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. :)

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. ^^
