Yosh, @Kitten and I made a wallpaper! *pumps fist*
Alenas' wise words:
Well, this was supposed to be done like, ages ago but since we were both so busy, we only managed to finish it now, lol. I also got the wonderful task of vectoring the whole scan (shakes fist at Kitten) which took me....pretty much happily ever after. XD It was supposed to stay monochrome like the original scan but then it kind of looked bland compared to Kit's colorful background so I had to add some shading and color everything again by working with levels and contrasts and colors until it matched the overall atmosphere of the wall. In the end I added some highlights on the hair and skin and that was it. It sure looks like a piece of cake, but this scan entails half of my life in it probably, bahahaha~! *chokes on her tea* Anyway, I have to say I had fun working on this wall and seeing it come to life; Kit's been an awesome partner and friend and I hope this isn't our last collab. :3
Kit's words of wisdom
I saw the scan awhile back and fell in love with it, brought it to Alenas attention and it became the beginning of an adventure. Well, I wanted a challenge and I definitely got it with this wall. I had no idea what to make for the BG but I didn't want to just call it quits and bail out on her so I thought a lot, and spent a good amount of time being very lazy about it. Finally picked it up again and decided to do a garden look, somehow through the vectoring and shading it grew into something more.
I created an abstract scenic style wall, fits both my style and Alenas. The structure is vectored, no reference, it's all my handywork. Behind Watanuki is suppose to be the "door" to wonderland or any type of land you wish really, it's just meant to give the wall a mystical magical look. I added the clock for a more CLAMP style feeling, and also to give the wall a more mysterious look. Added clouds, stars and more gradient power. Highlights and effects, the vector was monochrome before but a few friends suggested we do color so Alenas did a wonderful job going back and coloring the vector. That being the final installment of the wall.
It was a heck of a lot of fun, even though it took a long ass time. I certainly hope Alenas will collab with me once again, after she's done glaring at me for all the work I made her do. XD
And that's it. We hope you like it and as always, comments, faves and constructive criticism are welcome! :)
Dedicated to all our friends, especially @Brad-M13 for being an awesome friend (and putting up with both of us XD) and @Tina18. <3

oh, what a wonderful photo

Beautiful!
The thicker black outlines seem out of place but I like them still. Those bold black outlines are delicious. :D~ I think you could have made the frill shadowing colored instead of black though.
The colors are so vibrant and lively. It feels like their dresses are the sun illuminating the clouds. The hair was handled very well and I can't see anything to complain about it. It looks really silky. The eye style of the two female characters is very appealing and unique to me. Especially since one of them has hatching.
The background really suits this scan. Something with bright lighting to compliment their light dresses. Stony texture of the blocks really give that sandy and hard feel. Not sure what all those white wavy lines are but they are really nice.
I can see some improvements with the wall. The support stone columns on the bottom feel a bit flat. I think it's because the tiles don't have some subtle individual shadowing to make them feel more 3D. Then maybe some darker shadowing below the horizontal stone block. The clock looks like it is out of place because it feels too real.
There is also the black outlines against the background. It makes the characters float a bit instead of completely blending in. I have black outline problems too so don't feel too bad about it. It can't be helped! It's the easy way out to just get things done, haha. I am trying to do lineless for my new WIPs. It's so hard to resist. ;_;
Great work you two!

Clamp girls in the wallpaper are really charming and attractive. The soft light is harmonized with yellow colors make them be gorgeous each other.

This is very surreal. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. At first glance, I thought you combined different scans of the characters----I guess I was wrong there. Hahahaha. It has that nostalgic feel somewhat similar to Alice in Wonderland. Great job you two! <3

This wallpaper is seriously just beautiful. It just gives off such a warm feeling when I look at it. The lighting is done just right as in it's not too distracting but you know it's there. It also adds to that warm feeling I mentioned. Im glad I full viewed because you can not see the great work done on the sky in the thumbnail. The vectoring is really smooth looking and just really well done. Nice work guys! +fav .(n_n).
