The larger 1920x1200 resolution is below. I didn't originally make the wall in that resolution, but the quality and composition is still the same.
The wallpaper was inspired by the Lion (May'n is <3) OP sequence from Macross Frontier, which you can watch here. If you haven't seen the video, or haven't even watched Macross Frontier, then this wall might not make too much sense. I vectored and painted Sheryl and Ranka from the original scan and took some of the elements from it like the stars and the butterflies, but the rest I did from scratch, excluding the images in the 'windows'.
Also, don't paint with a big heavy mouse, unless you want to end up with a huge pain in your wrist. Learn from my mistakes ;_;
For those of you who are familiar with my much older works (which hopefully asa is the only one), there's some of my old techniques and themes in this wall. Lots of dramatic positioning, lighting, and nonsensical magical themes. The coloring might look off to some of you, since this wall changes quite a bit depending on the brightness level of your monitor, and I apologize in advance. I won't have access to the internet until I get back to school, so thanks for the comments and the feedback.
Have a Happy New Year everyone :)

This wall stood out to me because of the nice lighting. Up close the painting is very nice too. :D Good to see you walling some more again!

Lovely!
Great effects, cool colors, amazing lightening and a fantastic scene! I really love the small details that make this paper so complete, like the subtle image in the left wall, or the ring ornament in the portal.
Congratulations!

i got the point of the wall since i watched that anime :P and i love what you did, i always thought it would be nice if someone walled something like this gorgeous lightning effects+

AHH...I really need to watch Macross Frontier. I saw the thumbnail of your wallpaper on the front page and instantly knew it would be good. I like your style, and the idea just seem to pop and make the wallpaper work.
The vector looks beautiful, and I like the lighting and shadows. You did a good job it giving the objects some 3D presence and blending them in with the background! It matches the vector too in terms of depth -- impressed by how everything fits! I really want to know who that guy is in the left mirror now (will watch the series someday...).
Happy New Year -- hope to see more walls ^^

Oh. Only one more thing, and it's going to be "negative." >_<
I didn't really like the title. The action and objects don't really speak "Destiny" to me. However, I suspect I might be missing some meaning in the people. In that case, the title is probably awesome!

Hey man, if you don't call me, I'll still be late to comment! AHH! But I don't like to answer the phone!
I love the high quality-ness, among the other stuff I said before. How you were inspired by the opening sequence is also very interesting! (The coolness of the song didn't match a lot of the scenes though, imo, haha) I still think the skin looks desaturated/brownish for the dramatic lighting here. Cheryl's face looks somewhat gray because I'm expecting it to be glowing. But you did a very admirable job on the overall coloring!
Happy New Year to you!! I hope you're having a blast in Las Vegas!

This was an INTENSE project, I bet! However, you're obviously talented, so I can't help but wonder why you didn't use a better reference for their faces. They're pretty far off. :\ AMAZING, job, though.

sherylyousherylshallsherylnotsherylnoticesherylhowsheryllatesherylisherylamsherylllll~ *gets shot*
the magicalness is here but it's a very different take on magical than yours from years ago. the blue light looks great but i'm not too sure about the yellow light (and those 2d stars)...maybe i'm just discriminating against ranka's half of the wall because sheryl is so much more awesome lawl. (no, i think it's just i prefer the rays of light to the general round glow.) and i like the glass panel things. 8]
ummm maybe the back lighting on sheryl could have been a little glowy-er/more evident and the blue light on ranka could have been a bit more visible on parts other than her hand and shoe. i don't know. i can't really settle down and think about stuff because i'm so distracted by my own wip right now haha~ (funny how my wall got you to wall and now your wall makes me want to finish another wall...)
a +fav for The Return of His Magical Sparkliness, Justin.

A very nice wall. Although, I was kind of hoping that you had added a bit more detail to the background in terms of items floating in the background, especially where Sheryl is reaching out to Ranka. It seems just a little empty to me. =/ I love the reflection of Sheryl on the left wall though. Anyways, a lovely wall overall. Good job!

The combination of the light of the blue color there really shines over the background!

this is really good! i like the contrast of light and dark too make the girl on the bottom seem more innocent and cute than the girl on the top
