Once upon a time there was a little forest somewhere in the world, where a beautiful young girl lived. This girl was not an ordinary girl and the forest was not an ordinary forest. This place was mysterious and it was named Circle. This forest ruled all seasons of the world, with the mysterious girl together. The girl’s name was Hagu. She worked every day hard with the forest together to bring the flowers of the Spring to the people, to make every tree happy in the summer and helped by the change of the colors when autumn come. This time Hagu was so tired of the all year work, that the forest allowed her to take a long rest together with the trees. Every year when the first snowflake fall from the grey sky she went to her own little pond with the flowers that she kept from spring and fell in a long sleep with the trees together. The forest could have some rest too in this period of the year, there was no work left. The Snow could make his job easily alone. He took care about everything and decked the world with his big snowflake bed. Cirle and Hagu slept as long as Snow allowed them. He gave every year a special job for the last falling snowflake. She should go to the Circle called forest and wake up the sleeping girl with flowers in the pond, because then she can start her work happy again with Circle as long as the world exist.
Reason for the wallpaper: fell in love with the scan, and I wanted to use it as a wallpaper Reason for the style: painting looks much better than the original scan xD Reason for story: why not?
Extras: I gave a bit of color to the picture, and some clouds to the bg. The original scan looked good enough, it was just muddy, so I repainted it. I didn’t vector the outlines, because I wanted to keep the picture in this „impressionist” art. Worked time: dunno, but I started this wally more than 2 week ago.
And even if this is my 3th Hagu wallpaper, I’m still not a maniac fan of Hagu. It just happened this way xD. Just like my Host Club – Honey wallpapers. Whoops…both themes have something to do with honey…xD. Am I a honey fan and going to turn to Pooh? xD
Comments, critics and favs are as always welcome.

Wish I'd know how to paint like that *_* Lovely wallpaper seriously, I like thegrass a lot, also the background. Although the bg looks cold it has this magical fairytale atmosphere somehow =0 (at least for me). Great job, keep up the awesome work!

wow the painting looks exactly like the scan color, like nysha said it's really hard to see which one that you paint, at least i still can see that this wall is a lot softer than the scan, great job^^

Great job at recreating the scan! I like how you maintained the watercolor look. The soft colors are really nice to look at as well and gives off a calm feeling to it. Nice work Nona. :D

I really like it.
It was a good decision to not vector the outlines imo. The water color effect is really what gives it its charm.
Awesome work (9+_+)

The background looks really good, the forest scenery and the gentle coloring is very nice. The character in the lake is looking good as well, she fits to the background well. Nice wallpaper.

Incredible painting job. It's cool to see different types of wallpaper styles from time to time, even if it is of Hagu (love the series, not a big fan of Hagu still). There's a dark spot on one of the trees on the right. I suppose that it's kind of there on the scan, but I feel like the wally would look better without it.

love this to death though the text would have worked better in a different font color and on a different type of backdrop to complement the pastel style. i also think that some darker sharper lines layered over your current ones would help with detailing. +fav

You already know how much I love this wall, right? Your painting skills are as awesome as always and the way the blue of the sky/trees blens with the yellow of the grass is just amazing, I totally love it ^_^
And yes, you're a Hagu maniac xD FAV +

That was a great little story you wrote there (main reason I’m commenting). It was pretty fun to read.
The painting is as impressive as the lack of originality (no offense). It truly looks exactly the same as the scan; more vivid and clean, but nevertheless the same. Not that interesting, in my opinion.
I respect your reason and the amount of time you put into recreating this, though. After all, it took you +2 weeks to finish it. That is a lot of time spent working on it.

Nice story you came with for this wall. I agree with u that painting works well for this wall. Patching and filtering have been done nicely too.

a really cool wallpaper which makes me in the mood of rewatching the whole anime again. I like the way u've painted your work, as well as the additional details. Plus, the colour and the whole concept of this wall is great :3 really like this work of yours XD

beautiful wall after reading the description, i totally agree with you, nice job xD also i like the signature~
3 years, 3 months ago
Oh, I truly liked the story you created. I have never seen - honey and clover. But I think you made this wallpaper in a way reflects the idea of this anime perfectly. I absolutely like the painting. And I also appreciate your style of this wallpaper. Deserves to be on my favorite list! Keep it up.

This is so pretty~ Wow. I love how you painted it! It really looks like watercolor. O__o It looks just like a watercolor painting with almost...torn edges of paper around some places. I love it. *faves* [honey is a wonderful thing! And Pooh is, too! ♥]

I truly love how this wall looks. It feels just like a dreamy water color painting. As an added bonus no text all over it to mar its beauty. Very beautiful, excellent work!

A beautiful wallpaper with a beautiful story behind it. Your painting skills are absolutely amazing and wonderfully used in this nature scenery. Its a good thing you did not vector because it would destroy the soft watercolor look of this scene. This wallpaper gives off a fairy tale like feeling and perhaps a parallel to the famous Ophelia scene? Overall a gorgeous wallpaper.

I was attracted to your wallie, and then I read your story.
It was one of the sweetest and interesting short stories I've ever read. And it fits the wallie so so well. =)
Thanks you so much for sharing! great job!!!

You did a really great job with this. The painting style suits the style of the original scan better than a vector would. Excellent work!

Wonderful work. Enjoy the simplicity and the free-spirited feeling to this wall. Makes a perfect serene background as opposed to those really fancy colorful ones on which u can never expect to find any icons... > <
Great job overall.

This scan... I think this is referenced from the painting "Ophelia" John Everett Millaishttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Everett_Millais
But on the other hand, I loved this so much! I loved the solemnity of it... Good work!
