Yearning For Those Yesterdays Code Geass Wallpaper

For the lovely Berry~

Where do I start... I was browsing AP and saw that a new cover of Code Geass came out, though Lelouch was covering Nunnally so I waited until this one came out and grabbed it immediately. I thought that I could possibly be racing against time before someone vectored it and posted it so I was on a mission to finish it first. I vectored Nunnally, which took me a day to finish and I'm counting overnight.

After finishing Nunnally, which was the easiest part of the wall I moved on to the background. It went through alot of changes, I sketched alot of different things but I somehow ended up with something I didn't plan.

See original sketch - eww sketch - Yea...I don't use any special things to sketch, just brush and yes it's ugly. Moving on...

I somehow ended up with - weird bench thing, and then weird bench thing, in sunset!. Feel free to laugh as you wonder what that weird thing is. The idea was of her to be on something high, so I imagined a construction site but I executed it horribly.

I decided to change the look when Gaara mentioned it looking like a bench, after staring at it for some time I then changed my mind and made it look like an actual bench .

I made a real bench and then proceeded to work on the bg changes. I painted a field, added textures and drew some shading I smoothed with Motion blur and then painting it down. Coming up was then the small grass you see, not blurred too much cause it's rather close to her - Small grass(homemade brush, incase anyone is wondering)

Then came the trees, I had a single one in the distance - Before and then thats where Chloe stepped in and suggested more trees - After. Trees can be found at Deviant Art - Trees, the sakura petals on them were homemade so cook up your own.

I made the curtain, simple with the pen tool and shading. See through, so I lowered the opactiy to my liking. Sky was painted and brushes were used here and there. Made the sun which is simple as well, apply a filled circle color of yellow or white and then outer glow it to your liking.

Added birds and a inner glow on them to show the light of the sunlight on them, on the left use to be another wooden bar - Before. In came Vitaamin and suggested to remove it and replace it with either a bush or tree. I choose bush and made a small rose bush in it's place - After.

Now, for the accessories: Butterflies from a Chobits scan - Chii and Butterfiles.

Rose Petals from Rozen Maiden scan - Petals on the floor.

Lelouch picture from - Lelouch and Suzaku - It's beside Nunnally.

And the final touch to my wall was getting Gaara to make one of my favorite flowers, Tulips!~ He lined and painted them for me, and I stuck them on the left side for more balance.

Special Thanks to Gaara, Chloe & Vitaa :3

Great work!

What I really like about this wall is all the little things you added to make this such a more personalized and character-centered wall. I think the vector on Nunally is great :D And her pose is so elegant so it fits well with the sunset theme. I always get a kick out of walls that put cute little things like a portrait of someone else from the anime - so Lulu's picture is very nice to note in this wall. I also think the petals give Nunally a very princess like feel which is a presence I thought she was represented nicely in from Code Geass. The birds are cute and the trees are suiting. I like the trees in the back especially, they look neat because the tree trunks are so original and peculiar and not the normal type of vertical trunks. The curtains are a cute touch to the wall too! And I think the flower garden is a nice touch - brings out the peaceful girl in her - not to mention, it compliments her dress ^^

The whole wall has a summer-ish feel which is great for the upcoming season :) Good work~

Amazing job.

It's interesting to see all the changes you did. Especially since you made it from the ground and up. I really like the background with the trees and how the grass is smoothed out because of the distance.

I just wonder why you put a texture over Nunnally. Did she play in the grass? D:

Awesome work! The vector is clean, and the changes you did end up into something nice too. For the background, it looked so pretty and the curtain sure does help with the them and title. The choice of Nunnally here is very great, since it also matches up with the bakcground.

Nice!

Oooh so beautiful... I just love the colors so much... The atmosphere is very sad, fitting of Code Geass I suppose. >.<; I love the whole window idea, as well; the curtains just seem like the perfect touch to me. The picture of Lelouch appears a little much though, 'unno why. o-O

Gloomy colors and light in the wallpaper is dramatic. They are covering the little girl's praying with silent atmosphere.

I can really feel summer in this wallpaper. The details are very good, which blends naturally for Nunnally there. I have to say that Nunnally is very elegant and with a pose like that, she's a major eye-candy for this wallpaper. Her elegance is so right for the sunset theme. The petals and the curtains make this even better. Everything is so nice. Good job.

Man, Code Geass pieces are always very sad and poignant. Still, they always look incredibly well done. Keep up the good work.

Very lovely work as always miss kitten. :) I love the transition between anime and realism, the nature in the background meshes so well with the elegant clothing and style of the character herself. The colors are warming and seem natural like this could be a real life portrait. The only thing I will say is that I think the grass is a bit on the flat side it could have used some more plush to it but that's not a big deal at all. Great work this is just stunning. A+ and a fav. :)

This is really well executed. I would basically echo the other comments here by thanking you for doing such a wonderful job. Plus, just about every little change you made along the way to completing this really improved the image. The one place where I would be more specific though is the curtains. At first I didn't recognize them as curtains and thought they were rays of light from the sun above. Then, after noticing them as curtains I thought that what we were seeing were reflections in the window of curtains behind Nunally. I had also wavered a bit on where they actually were thinking they could have been between Nunally and the window. Excellent job overall but the curtains were a little ambiguous to me.

A prefect work. I really like this wall as all the little things you added make this a personalized and character-centered wall. I think the vectoring for Nunnally is great. Nunnally is KAWAII. And her pose is so elegant to fit the sunset backgroud. Very beautiful background is well drawn and qualitative. I also think the petals give a feel of Nunnally to be a princess. And I think the flower garden is a nice touch. It gives out the peaceful meaning in her. The whole wall has a summerish feel which is great for the upcoming season. Beautiful colour, a decline and I like this work. You have done a work well! Thanks.
