Finally, the wallpaper's finished!!!
*This is for those who like cheery, bright wallpapers on their desktop, and no space for icons at all* I'm such an idiot, ain't I?
Heck, I spent like, two months working on this dastard wallpaper, and the final result is not even that satisfying (probably because I work around 20 minutes on it each time I open Photoshop).
Anyway, I decided to submit this because 1) I finished it, duh~ 2) I don't want to let my work go to waste and 3) Perhaps some AP members might actually like this wallpaper --- sounds pathetic, no?
Being tied down with a lot of work and activities at college really drained me of time to make wallpapers =( *takes a look at my piling WIP folder*
The title 'Forgotten Wonderland' is given because, in the process of growing up, we tend to forget the small miracles and wonders that happened around us, and we take things for granted. So, maybe it's a good thing to slow down, observe the little things around us and start to appreciate what we have ^_^ Now, that sounds melancholy, no?
Half of the wallpaper is vectored (the outlines, the hair and the dress shading part), while the other is painted with my trustworthy Wacom Bamboofun tablet. My favourite part would be the leaves though~
One more thing, this wallpaper probably doesn't deserve to be the landmark for my first wallpaper as a senior member, so just don't mention it, okay? I will submit a better one in the near future, I promise ^_^
Cheers, Yukina-Rei

I love the burning brightness!! Your sig is also cute, hehe! I like how you made the leaves. The wall is like a storybook drawing. *nostalgia* But I do have some suggestions.
Since the majority of the coloring is in a painted style, the clean leaf brush doesn't suit the wallpaper. It also doesn't match because the wall seems to be a scenic wall. Since you have a tablet, I suggest sketching grass 8D Unless there was a special reason you used that brush 8D
I also think the outlines on the loli's skin should be darker so that she's more distinguishable from her dress. I find that having light outlines for the skin makes an image more flat, especially if there are other objects that have darker outlines (in this case, the plants).
Lastly, the blue parts in the wall seem too solid. The bird would would look better with more highlights. See, there are more levels of shading/highlighting on the leaves than on the bird, so it looks rather flat. The water (?) behind the loli should have some reflections on it too! Or is that the base of a tree? (o_o) If so, then I think a warm shade should be used for a tree-cave-thingy XD
No, lastly, congrats on becoming a senior member!!

What a wonderful wonderworld this is... It's amazing. This is a scene of old tales or stroies? Coloring in the wallpaper are expressing respective nature of colors in the wallpaper. They are harmonized with the cute girl. She may be the owner of the princess of the world. The girl meets the bird.

Aaaaaw so cute .... I like those vibrant colors... I've got a nice feeling when I look at this wall ... I like the painting feel .. it adds some softness to the scene ... My only complaint is the brush work next to the flowers .... but a very minor complaint because the overall scene is exquisite :p
Nice message attached to this wall too ... I so agree with it :)

love the color coordination on the leaves and the bg, though her face gets a bit dirty =/ and i think you should have lightened the stem lines or highlighted/shadowed them since the lines look really strong right now. and because you are a senior member, i will point out that you started with yellow lighting for the green leaves but switched to white for other parts which is a minor thing but i still said it :3 but either way its lovely to see someone make use of summery colors with a pastel backdrop +fav
