An excerpt from the movie "Howl's Moving Castle":
- Howl: See that new color on the dial? There's a new portal----
- Sophie: (GASP)
- Howl: It's a present for you----come and see.
- Howl: Like it? It's my secret garden.
- Sophie: It's incredible. Did you use you magic to make this?
- Howl: Only a little---just to help the flowers grow.
- Sophie: (GASP) This place is GORGEOUS Howl! It's like a dream!
ABOUT THE WALL:
Well actually, this is an entry for the AQUA competition for Scenic----but I guess it's too late for that now, I don't know. 9(>_>)
I've had this project planned for months and now, I've finished it! OH YEAH!
Vectoring Sophie was real easy since you can see all the lines. When I saw the siggies for the AQUA competition, the one that captured me the most was the siggie of Howl's Moving Castle----one of my ALL-TIME favorites of Hayao Miyazaki's work. After that, I decided to make an HMC wall so here it is. I used a combination of the the traditional vectoring process and a bit of painting. (XD) HARDEST PART was the plains as you can see it has a lot more details than Sophie herself. ~(@_@)~ I don't know how will I ever get to work on that but I managed it! HOORAY. And if I must say so, I'm pretty happy about my work. ^^v
Scan: SophieLayers: 300+ Time spent: 1 1/2 days Time started: 10:15PM Time finished: 2:45AM

Nice wallpaper, vector is clean and nice to see, I like the idea, I think that the second island could be on the left a little bit ^^
Need to see more Ghibli wallpapers ^^

I like the vision you had for this wall, really does shine emotion of happiness right at you, I love that! The plains are nicely done, with good textures and colors. The clouds look pretty as well. The vectoring on Sophie is good. Only thing I would change is less clouds behind the top right plain and more on the bottom left corner to even it out the balance. Good job, keep it up ^-^!

YAY finally a Howl's Moving Castle wall, I love you for this!xD You did an awesome job with Sophie and the background! +

Mm, the clouds and sky itself looks so beautifully done. The two floating islands are really pretty, but I do agree that the second one could've gone to the left a little more (to fill up that side's empty space a bit). Very nicely done. Love the colors too.

I like this one! You did a nice job with the vector and the clouds look gorgeous *.* I like the grass too xD +fav

Excellent rendition of the scan. Your vector is superb. As others have suggested, I also agree that the smaller island further back in your wall should be moved more to the left to help offset Sophie and the island she is standing on.
Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to seeing more of your walls in the future!

This is beautiful *_* I love how you made the islands and the flowers <3!

Oh great job I love this scene. It looks like the grass islands a floating in the sky.

Much better with the location adjustment for the island. Great work!

I wanted to comment earlier and say that maybe you should move the upper flower island a bit to the left but I see you already did that, lol.
I also think the clouds should be distributed perhaps a bit more evenly to the bottom on the wall and Sophie's vector could be more detailed but overall, I like the flower brushes and the wall is so sunny and nice. Good job! :)

another horseradish wall (XD) and as always its getin better and better ...

Nice work on the flower fields. Not quite sure about the green smudgy part at the bottom of the island though. It would be better without it in my opinion. The bottom left part of the wallpaper also seems a tad bit empty. Maybe add more clouds there, or some kind of nice textwork. Maybe also some other smaller islands drifting far in the background would be good. Everything else looks fine though. :)

The islands look really nice,the flowers are fantastic,so is the grass...but it's too empty...maybe you could add a castle floating in the air,and a bit blurred in the lower part of the wall,to make it less empty... Nice wall overall

I feel happy just looking at this. Such a wonderful film. Miyazaki is the master.
The plants and clouds look terrific. I almost feel like there should be a reflection in the water.
