Wow, it has such a nice atmosphere to it. I couldn't even tell that you edited it, it looks so much like the real thing. I love how the picture and colors flow together. Great job. =)
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...

you did a beautiful job! it lends an air of loneliness but also one of serenity... like she's content just looking out the window by herself and daydreaming. great feeling! much love. very good job. =)

everybody keeps referring to her as Tohru, but she actually looks more like Hanajimi-chan to me. Am I right? Very lonely and thoughtful expression, just as if she really is daydreaming while she's looking out the window.^^ Love the pinks and yellows of the sky and how the same colors seem to shade the room. Wonderful job!
