Nagisa♥ It's finally done. My first Clannad work since the last eppy aired ^^ But I'm sure I'll have many more. I associate this wall a lot with the song "Yuki no Hara" (Snow Field) from the Clannad OST. It's just seems to fit for me. A lovely song too.
This wall is not out of season! Spring isn't for another 4 days! And when I look outside, I see snow! Well not that it matters :P
This wall is like the winter version of Inspiration. I put Nagisa in the same place. I even used the same mountains :P But I painted them a lot more this time. And just like in Inspiration, I vectored all of Nagisa, yet ended up cropping off half of her for the wall >.<
I realised why I use landscape backgrounds so often. It comes from my obsession with nature photography. How did I not notice before? I like recreating scenery that I've seen before or that I'd like to see. I've never seen mountains like that up close, but the sky, I got to see many times this winter. I love the flowing, painty clouds, especially when they turn pink at sunset ^^
The background is based on the original scan. Repainted sky, repainted mountains, repainted snow...and I made little trees. They're cute ne? :P Some snow falling...some text...and of course Nagisa. The background is quite simple, but I meant for it to be. Just Nagisa and fields of snow. I won't go into how many hours of frustration I went through >.< That's typical though.
Vectoring Nagisa was pretty average. Gradients on many layers, her tights were blurred but you can't see them anyways. And I finished her in under 10 hours! Yay.
The main reason I was so eager to do this was because I wanted a wall that portrayed my love for winter. My favourite season. So sad that it's over. But now I look forward to spring.
So thanks for viewing my wall. It's certainly not perfect but I hope you like it!

The vector is great, as I'm used by you. Goes the same for the background, and Nagisas darker colors matching with purple style. It uses less elements fo first I thinked being a bit plain on the left...but that little trees there...cute. So in overall is really great, is vector, is Clannad, is from you, so everything just so as I want and like it. Deserved favorite. +Fav

I like the colors you used, the texture, and the swooshing painterly clouds. It makes a simple, yet effective wallpaper. :)

Purple colors in the background is very impressive. It is abstract colors of her destiny. I am suprised and happy her reversed future. She died and relived. Anyway Nagisa is always pretty and attractive. The winter sonata is warm and silent.

I to love winter so much it's also my favorite season but here in Texas we rarely get any kind of snow so I seek it in all my wallpapers. This wall is so sweet and soft it's really hard not to just fall in love with it I swear you really nailed this series. I love your seasonal themes and how you portray each one this one is of course om favorite. I think maybe tho a little more detail could have been used here like a small town in the back or maybe more trees, it just seems like the background is lacking something. Over all you did a fantastic job you lucky to have snow where you are I'm envious. A+ and a fav. :)
