Ah i finally had the time to work on this wallpaper again. It was actually planned as a christmas wall for last year, hence the snowy theme. Haha the power of procrastination!! I only managed to complete it now. ^^; Lol i swear my walling frequency is getting lower. I used to wall like once a week, but now only once every 4 months. I won't be surprised if it becomes once a year soon. xD Ouh and i never actually thought of a name for this wall, so @Hina-Homa suggested "Snowy Love", and that's how it got its name. xD Thanks for the suggestion Hina!
This one is originally just a black and white picture of Haruna and Yoh taken from a rather small image from the manga "Koukou Debut". [strike]For those who have the manga, please tell me which page it is. I had it on my computer, but due to some recent probs with my computer, everything was lost.[/strike] It's on the last page of volume 9 chapter 33. Thanks to @cyd84 for the info. ;D
The whole background you see here is made from scratch. I first sketched the background to plan out how i wanted it to be like and only then i vectored over it. I wanted a clear blue sky. So it may seem rather empty but that's how i like it. ^_^ The characters were quite easy to vector except for Yoh's hair and the shading..i could'nt see it properly on the picture. So whatever shading you see there is mostly done my own way. Lol sorry if it looks weird. xD
Ahaha you may not see another wall from me till next year. Im really busy with uni and club activities. So till next time, enjoy this wall!
I have'nt actually done a shoutout to my friends before. So here it goes...a shoutout to my good ol' friends (It's long.You've been warned!)
Keeru: The snowman's for you!! See! He's smiling for you. =3 You're my random talk buddy and it's really nice to just talk crap and not be so serious sometimes. xD Don't forget our special plan to take over the world with our colorful brains! *whisper*...*whisper*
Saku: You Otsuka Ai'd me!! Pstt i know you secretly watch wrestling too. xD Ooops it's not a secret anymore. =O *manly pose* Haha you're such a random person too. You even named me Miso Soup. Lol now it's my official nickname. xD
Anolibb: It's been fun working with you on the EVI team during the past years. You're also my think-alike twin! It's nice to know someone else who shares the same taste in animes and thoughts on things in life. Im forever grateful to you for introducing me to Itazura na Kiss. It's made my days brighter in so many ways. ;D It's always nice chatting with you on msn too. =D
Tsu: My fellow neko-loving-orange-addicted friend. xD It's been fun having random chats with you on msn with the rest of the group. ;D The most memorable time was probably when you posted that fishzaku on your page and left it there just for me to see. Lol is it still there? *dares not to check*
Dan: The so-called Oyaji (eventhough he's three days younger than me. Darn you! You make me seem old.) Well it's been nice having weird and funny convos with you. You always seem to send me the funniest pictures. Especially Spinzakus. xD
Tsubame: It's been nice having you as a classmate for 5 years. You were one of those rare people in class who actually really enjoyed anime as much as i did. Our anime trades were awesome! Haha i saved so much money from that. I hope to see you walling more often here. Ouh and if i remember correctly, we were suppose to do a collab together were'nt we? =O
Kaisen: Although i don't see you much on AP, it's been nice talking to you on KS, and mostly msn lol. It's amazing how we knew each other from another forum years ago, and are still good friends till now. ^_^
Mr.Green: Haha good luck in your green kitty world domination! My mutant purple-green kitties are always there if you need some help. ;D
Justin: It's been great chatting with you on uni and stuff. Thanks for all the pointers and tips on that. Ouh and good luck with cooking too. Hopefully you find the right time for yourself to learn how to cook some homemade meals and not eat off instant noodles like me. Lol why do i feel like you're gonna beat me in cooking? D:
Mouritsa: You're such a sweet girl. Thanks for always being there to comment on my wallpapers and giving me helpful feedback each time. ^_^
Yina: My lovely bishie provider! Thanks for the frequent delivery of bishie goodness. Your walls are always eye-candy too. < 3
Hina: Thanks for dedicating your first wall submission here for me. Im really happy that you did. You're also probably the most frequent person to IM me on msn. =)
Fye: My friendly fellow Malaysian. It's really nice to talk to someone about all the things going on in our country like the big events, latest news, and school life in general. xD Someday we'll meet up in MidValley. ;D
Deto: Although we don't talk much recently, it's nice to know that you take the time to PM me. You should really get msn ya know. Ouh good luck on the completion of your website. Hope things are going well. ^_^
Everyone else who knows me: Sorry if i did'nt mention you. It's just that the list just seems to be getting a tad too long. So thanks anyway for those who always comment on my work. Im really happy to receive em.

This wall is really beautiful, I think that the snow is so fluffy and soft you just want to jump right in. I also love there clothes (I wish my boyfriend would wear an outfit like that XD)
Its simple and romantic I love to lose myself in the fantasy of the snow and such since we don't get any around where I live. This wall brings a smile to your face and leaves you wanting more and isn't that what making wallpapers is all about, making people happy with your work, making them think, seeing your vision through the eyes of a screen. You captured a moment in time that everyone wants to live in real life, you make every wallpaper unique, you always keep improving your skills even if you don't wall for months you come out on top everytime. I always enjoy seeing your work :)
I bet your next wall will be even greater. A+ and a fav
I Love it :D

Very nice chemistry between Haruna & Yoh although I must say that he always has this old grumpy look on his face for some reason lol. I've just started reading this manga and I'm hoping that they will turn it in to an anime show, sorry for straying from point.
Seeing the realism of the snow and the effect of the snowman gives me the chills, yeah it looks that real. You did a really nice job with the details of the couple and I would really like that scarf lol!

Naiisuuu!
Such a lovely and cute little scene. ^_^ I actually thought the empty sky looks pretty good in the wall. The hue is just right and it really gives a frosty tinge to the atmosphere. Good job painting too. I would prefer the colours to be in a tad softer shade, but thats just me. ^^ Also I would suggest for the blush on the cheeks to be toned down a little/or spread out more. Lol. I want the girl's top. :( And the snowman is soooo adorable!! <3
Where's our colab? =(

Nice work vectoring from a b&w scan (last page of volume 9 chapter 33 btw). I like the color scheme with the clothes against the snowy background. The feeling you captured in your wall interested me enough to start reading the manga!
4 years, 8 months ago
