Artist Comment

Woot. Ok first off I'd like to thank all the people at Minitokyo's IRC channel who gave me suggestions, tips and comments on this wallpaper during its work in progress :).

To the wallie: well you can see it, it's a very cliche one with a scenery background and a cutie... the funny thing is that when I started drawing this it was very different and it had a total different scan, so it really went through a lot of retouching and re-editing XD. Everything has been drawn (sky, clouds, trees, wall) while the bench was re-traced and re-cged from a stock photo.

Last some info for the nerds XD: 63 layers, and about 12 total hours spent in 2 days.

Enjoy!

[Edit] following everybody's input I've worked more on the girl and managed to remove the azure glow, I've also retouched her hair to blend it better.
[Last Edit] allright lol I've enlarged the wall and the bench and retouchedn again the girl, thanks MadWiz and einna for the input :)

    beautiful wall! you used the scan very nicely, the bg is nicely down with bright colors. great job!

    damn, havnt seen a good wall like this from someone I dont already know for ages, great job. I absolutely adore the colors, and of course those trees! I know the pain of making them and I must say youve outstanded pretty much anything Ive ever seen good in PS tree-making, great shading. Im in love with that bench <3
    Great scan choice tho her dress is grainy in the inside, might want to clean that, but you did an excellent job blending in the colors (and the hair <3)
    The text is totally not my style, I kind of hate it...but thats my very personnal opinion. Other than that, well the clouds look good, and the birds look kind of weird...Do birds fly that close to another?
    Anyways, you deserve my fav n_n

    ^-^ what a great wallie .. o.o;; two wallies .. o.o;; ... -o-

    anyways .. here are saki's comments .. xD .... ;____; dunt run away .. >.<

    first .. the font sucks .. >.> it'd be a witto better if you kinda faded it into the bg .. cuz rite now .. it looks like yu juss slapped on some font ... it looks like its popping out .. :3
    the scan ish still a witto iffy with the extraction and quality .. there's a lot of dark lines around her arms ...

    the birds look kinda weird too .. the positioning .. but props on them .. ^-^ since saki see's a loooot of wallie with white birds in the same positions ... but just in a different part of their wallie .. >.> and that irritates saki .. xD

    some parts of the wallie looks faded out with white .. >.< like right behind the girliiie .. there's a loott of white .. .xD

    butbutbut .. everything abuot this wallliiee rocks .. *-* fave fave fave favee~

    Wow, what a nice spring wallpaper, I like it. Nice work ShiNN84. Keep up the good work!

  19. Yoones Apr 08, 2005

    as you said, simple and cliche, but works well for me ^^
    background is quite good, I can reckognize the shinta's style of tree ;p
    you did well with the trees I can't manage to make background like that I have tryed once but it's pretty hard.
    I must admit that's it's not my favorite style because it still looks photoshopish...
    but good job anyway ; plus : natsuiro no sunadoke's girl is very cute ^^ .
    thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!

    OMG omg~!! You're really talented aren't you? No wonder you became a moderator for the mtNoobsClub in such a short time~!! Love the clouds in this wallpaper...The tree leaves is done brilliantly and of course, the bench is excellent~!! Might be a good reference for me to learn too!! Keep up the good work!! ^^
