Alright, this was done pretty much because I really liked some of the results I got when I played with the characters image and selective color layers. No, seriously. This wall was done with a good old fashioned seat of the pants style. I didn't plan it consciously, I just experimented and played with colors and effects.
I went back and started at a similar place to make the background as I did my first wall. The difference between light and dark, just because of how I used the gradient tool, was much more defined and I decided that I liked what this could lead to.
From there I added light bursts, sparkles and glowing lines behind her. She looks very much in motion and I was hoping to add to that.
At this point I loved the effect behind her and got the idea for using "Way to the Dawn" (Riku's keyblade in Kingdom Hearts 2), but had to figure out what to do for the right side of the image. It was just so bare and ugly. After messing with textures, brushes, and adding the text I liked it but there was again a bare space that didn't look like it should be bare.
To the intertubes I went and, after a quick search, found two nice pictures of Vanille/Vanilla/Nilla Wafer/that red head and played with selective coloring and then added them to the wall.

Quite a pretty wallpaper, what drew me to it was the apparent quality from the thumbnail, and I'm happy I wasn't disappointed when I full-viewed it ^_^ Even though it might look empty at first, it is perfect for my icon-ridden desktop. Thank you for making this! Keep up the good work ^_^

Your experimentation on creating the background appeals to me. The colors are of course complimentary that its contrasting and appealing at the same time. Those swirls and cloud effects, that is cool too. Would be cool to see more walls like this.

I really like the background. The colors and the way they blend into each other is very pretty. Nice image too, the background suits the girl. So overall very nice.

The color combination is good. What attracted me to this wallpaper is the background itself. It's quite beautiful and the character you chose to be in it fits fine.

I like it, but I don't like the random pentooling, it just looks sloppy and like it doesn't belong.
The "fairy Dust" is nice though but the pentooling just shouldn't be there. Also it's a little too bright for my taste, I like looking at a wallpaper and not needing to shield my eyes.
Overall I'd say 7 out of 10

Nicely done - elemental coloristics are almost always nice (red->blue / fire->water/ice) The character looks like she was dancing with Calm Chaos ^^ - really like that

This is amazing, I like having warm with cold colours together and having Vanille in the middle of it all.

A pretty good wallpaper. Vanille is sure cute!!! Love the colors. It's quite appealing to the eye.

I really love how you put detail in the two different background color for her (Vanilla was it?). For the red, it looks like you put a type of design that looks like calm fire-ish lava, with a nice little spiral-like deign. For the blue, it looks like you put blue roses in that part of the wallpaper *smiles*. You've made both of the two different colors of this wallpaper, outstanding and stupendous in my point of view. I really like this wallpaper as well. But, does anybody notice that Vanilla's face and head structure resembles Utada Hikaru's head and structure (XD) ???(who sang Simple and Clean, Hikari, Sanctuary, and Passion for Kingdom Hearts.) Or, maybe everybody did notice the resemblances.

This is beautiful! I usually don't like bright wallpapers, but here it really works I think since there is a dark element to the image as well. I really like it :)

The background of this piece really draws me in. The color scheme and the bright light effect fit Vanille's personality very well. I'm really impressed with your work here! Awesome job!
