My main objective for this wall was to learn how to vector and learn some basic painting and finalizing techniques I can use later on.
It was pretty fun to make, a little frustrating at times when I couldn’t get the things turn out the way I wanted. But overall I learned quiet a bit from making it.
Technical Details:
Front flowers are vectored from real lotus flowers, back flowers are freehand drawn.
Grass is a brush.
The hill with trees and the forest are all painted on top of a skeletal image.
The sky was made by following this tutorial.
The moon is a stock image.
The scan used for this wallpaper can be found here.
Special thanks to GoldenApe and Yukina-rei for helping me by giving detailed critiques and suggestions from start to finish. Also, special thanks to Dalarty for great tutorials on how to add finishing touches to my wallpaper when I was really stuck on what to do next.
I hope you like it.

kinda creepy but it's lovely ...very lovely...but i think the flower petals should of been outlined in a dark dark purple or black because the girl and the flowers would flow a little better

Well at first sight... it looks amazing.. the colors and the image are soo good.... but whr you look it closser... the image.. looks kinf out of the wall.. the Bg.. looks soo fantastic.. for the image.. maybe a vectored one.. fits better.. because... the hair..looks kind of blurry like if u used some smudge tool on.... and also if you wante the character get into the ]Bg... the flowers.... are pink... and she is purple.. maybe if used some purple scale to make the flowers.... it improves... and finally the lights on top the flowers.. just looks behind here.... maybe its an effect problem.... but if you add some before her.... and maybe why not... some bloossoms.... in front her.... Well just my oppinion.. but actually the Bg.. its a mazing.. even to my taste.. are so crowed with stars.... it looks great...

Wow, this is your first wallpaper here? It's very nice. ^_^ I absolutely ADORE the flowers. You vectored and painted them SO well! :3 I love the ones in the front the most..the colors are great. You vectored the girl well, too, but I agree with eria in that she doesn't seem to match. She doesn't look as clear compared to the rest of the wall, and maybe it's the purples...I like how you decided to change the original colors like that, but maybe the pinks would've been better? And the grass, well, you used the default PS brush. XD It looks okay , but maybe if you tried vectoring your painting your own grass, the girl wouldn't pop as much. Anyway, this is still a nice job for your first one here! ^^ Keep up the good work~ [I LOVE THOSE FLOWERS.]

hey, very nice :O
I think the most captivating thing of your wallpaper is the sky, very nice work with it :P
The flower vectoring is pretty nice too.
The girl vector is nice too, but she is not blending too well with everything else. Next time try to use some texture or adjust the shadows on her so that she could blend better.
Very nice first wallpaper, deserves my fav.
Keep it up ;3

Nice wall and congrats on your first wall aki! Personally I'd brighten it a little and change the contrast between the character and background a lil, but otherwise I think this wall has a good environment and feeling :]

love the flowers and the background! what an amazing wall this is!! Keep it up!!
4 years, 5 days ago
I'll tell you right now that it's not because of the colors that it looks like she doesn't match the flowers.... it's because of the shading. On the girl, there is a harsh contrast between shaded and lit areas of her skin, hair, and outfit. On the flowers, conversely, all the shading is softened and blended. Even if the flowers themselves were a lightsource, all things in a singular field of vision should share shade contrast, unless specifically affected by the environment, (i.e. a spotlight or a large shadow.)
Additionally, the flowers in the distance should be out of focus, while the closest ones should be sharpened, to imply perspective.
Other than that, it's a very attractive wall. Keep cranking 'em out, that's the important thing. You will learn something new each time you make a wall. (n_n)~

Finally this wallpaper is in the gallery >3 You have improved tremendously from your first revision until this version :3 Unlike other new wallers, you are willing to take criticism and advice from others, and that gives you a strong advantage~
Anyway, you deserve a fave for working so hard on this wallpaper ;) Keep up the good job, and I hope to see more wallpapers from you in future~
P.S: Thanks for crediting me in the description too, though you did all the hard work =)

Wow very nice first wallpaper =D i admire your vector, well done.

Yay, your first wallpaper is a blast I can say. The vector is very crisp and neat, especially with the flowers. And the grasses seemed a bit realistic although it was just a basic brush. *two thumbs up!*
