The title pretty much says it all xD ** **Happy Birthday, my newly adopted daddy! ** ** (Although his birthday is still two days away from today in my country, I thought I would give him an early surprise ^_^ and in case I forget to submit it on the real date ) Besides, my 'sister' has already submitted daddy's birthday wallpaper ages ago =D
So, I got to know daddy Warrior last year, and he requested for a wallpaper somewhere along these lines: "A pinky wallpaper with a cute girl wearing a fluffy dress", or something like that...So, I hunted for a scan which suits that criteria, and found this one, thanks to Dammy-tan xD
First, I extracted it (which was quite tedious, especially around the hair) plus the fact that I'm quite new to extracting *coughvectorfreakcough*. Then, I used my new tablet to paint over the ugly white drops all over her which was in the original scan. Next was the hardest part - thinking of a suitable background. I wanted this wallpaper to be pinky, but I couldn't think of a suitable one which won't hurt the eyes and be pink at the same time =.="
In the end, after browsing through some stock photos and scans, I got the idea of letting the girl sit on a brick wall, with fantasy elements behind her. I mean, there's no way she can sit on a brick wall with mountains, pillars and the wide sky behind her, right? She will just die if she falls D= And also added some fog, or clouds if you prefer, around.
Anyway, everything in this wallpaper is vectored with my mouse and painted with my tablet (because daddy wants to see my next *ahem* masterpiece wallpaper done with it), except for the mountains at the back, which was heavily filtered stock, plus some smudging, blending and painting over. Oh yea, and except for the duplicated leaves you see hanging on the vines, the rest are brushes ^_^
After everything, I added a lot of adjustment layers for the first time in my wallpapers, had fun playing with them, tweaking the colours and such. Hmm...definitely going to use them again next time =)

I'm sorry that this wallpaper is so 'pink' xDD Although I can't really tell the difference between pink, peach, violet and maroon ^_^"
EDIT: Big thanks to a certain golden-fured monkey who looked at this wallpaper and gave me the thumbs-up to submit this into the gallery too~ And forget what I just apologised for - PINK RULEZ! :D
My next wallpaper will be an entry for the Scenic Bishie/Bishoujo wallpaper contest, and of course I'm entering a droolworthy bishie. Series *secret*, character *secret* =D And expect lots of tabletwork there too~
Also, thanks for all the comments/faves/critiques in case I can't reply to them in time - my internet connection sucks full-time >_>








i will wreck u
this face makes me giggle like a child

Happy birthday, Warrior! You must be very thankful to receive such pinkness from your kid ^___^ [/sarcasm]
Anyways, about the wall, I already gave my opinion on your 'beta version' and I still think it's a very nice wallpaper. It's a bit more red-ish though than the one I saw last time, which was more purple-ish. I personally liked that one slightly better, but that's just a personal preference I guess. Also, there are some weird gradient 'waves' in the steam/fog/whatever, which might be the result of aggressive filtering. But don't worry, I always have something to *****about, most people wouldn't even care and hopefully that includes Warrior ^___^.

Happy Birthday Warrior-dono! Great wall from Yukin,a as usual, getting better and better with each time. Good use of the stock in the background, and is so PINK! Cannot do anything else, I'm in love with this wallpaper. And striped stockings, uhuhuhuhu....*gets crazy* +Fav

Although pink isn't really my color, I think this hot pink wall looks awesome, nonetheless! XD
Also, you did a great job with the extraction (I'm more of an extraction freak, lol) and the BG is quite fitting...and nicely pink-ish. :D I especially like the mountains and sky in the background, as well as the leaves and pillars. All in all, this is an awesome job.
Daddy is going to be proud of you! :D

Very good work, a little too pinky, but great. You managed everything slightly, find your way through that cropped art and fit your style on it. This is art; this is how an artist should perform. The only worry is about the background that looks a bit out of frequency with the girl. But still difficult to say what could fit with the girl.

SISTAH! LOL, dad will love itttt. xD You know mom's birthday is soon to, ne? 8D I must finish my wall for her in time!
Oh dang catgirls totally get me..

haha..such a kind person u r Yukina !!Never saw u forget ur firends ^_^ I like this about u,caring so much about ppl and thats a great quality u have there !!
oh about wall....well,gonna be honest ^^ What I liked : Comparing this to ur previous works,there is a big gape of skill ^^..great progress u have made in term of wallig skills(painting,blending,concept...) BG fits really well with the scan and excellent corp of the scan !!that steam doesnt looks bad either and she is really cute !!
What I didnt like : well...I lil too pink for my taste.I Would have liked to see that steam on her clothes as well despite being weak (would have helped with the blending more). Looking at the left there is a sudden trace of a rather strong pink color on the steam (Brush,gradient or whatever) that distracts me alil
AND the most frustrating point is that................................ .................................................................
**MY RESOLUTION ISN'T THERE ** P(T_T) /(-_-)/~ =( )
Well...anyway yeh I'm sure Daddy will like this XD

Aw, this is so cute! So incredibly pink and adorable. :) I'm sure your "daddy" loves it! Hehe. You did a beautiful extraction, and goodness, the bg is so lovely! I really love what you did. ^^ It matches very well...and I can't find one problem; even all the pink is suitable. It isn't TOO bright or anything--it's easy on the eyes. I like the vines you vectored and also the clouds/fog around the bottom. It might've looked too plain with that! ^_^ Great job~ *faves* [and it is a masterpiece! nice job with the tablet]

I mean, it's so pink I think I'm gonna die!
lol
The wall is SIMPLY PERFECT: I love the girl and her fluffy dress (and yes, her pansu too xD ) and the way you vectored and painted the background is just incredible. You're really making good use of your tablet, my daughter ^_^
Your daddy is so happy you made such an awesome wall for his birthday, you can have an extra ice cream today xD
Thank you so much, Yukina, I really don't have the words to thank you for your present. I promise you I'll cherish it for a long time on my computer screen ^_^

Good wall and cute design

So pink. (XD)
The overall is really cute, but the character is a lot better than the surroundings. So, background aside it's nice, but even that is not bad.

OH MY EYES!!!
Once I got past that and could see again, I realized that it was pink.
Ah, and it looks nice :P

Pink overdose! But it's really nice I can't believe you vectored all that.. The pillars and leaves look amazing and I'm a sucker for signatures discretely put in the wallpaper And you did a really good job with the extraction fav

Too much pink for my type, I agreed with the comment saying: He/She prefers peach. Me too, because it hurts my eyes so badly ( ̄へ ̄)Making the pink brighter might also do :D

It's SO cute, Yukina!!! XD But, yeah, it does have a LOT of pink. More white would've been good. Pink and white go so well together (or black). The girl in the front could lighten up (a little) so it contrasts more to the background.
