Wow, took long enough, right? XD Haha, I've been so inactive. Please full-view...and widescreen is better. :) Thanks!! So yeah, I started this wallpaper some time in May...haha...and I just couldn't finish it. Summer classes and lots of stress later, I finally enlisted Sakura's help to collab with me. ^_^ And boy did she help out! My goodness. ♥
Original scan:
Though honestly, the wall didn't start with that. It started with this sky painting I did. I was just having fun...I've never really painted clouds before. And so anyhoo, a friend of mine had a Kobato contest, so I decided to make the wall with that bg a Kobato one. Heh, that was months ago. I obviously missed the deadline! XD
I was getting so down on this wall that I'd never finish it...which is why i decided it should become a collab. Despite Sakura's distaste for Kobato, she agreed lol! So what I had done were the basics...err, bases? I had that sky, and then the base stuff of the vector (outlines, colors). She did a fantabulous job with everything else~~ She did all the details, like the highlights, shading, flowers, etc. Like wow. *__* I could never do this well! XD She did a great job, finishing this wall up. Like I said, I couldn't do it without her...it definitely wouldn't have been finished.
Here are the references she used for the flowers and things:http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/471435http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/413925http://www.zerochan.net/274079
And here are different versions...well, one version but the different reses. These have the little plush guy. We had a bit of a miscommunication error in terms of the resolutions, which is why this version is smaller. I submitted the bigger resolutions without the plush guy...cause I liked them more. XD

I hope you guys like it! This was months in the making lol! And here are the wie words of Sakura...> I really dunno, vector wasn't hard but I was lazy as hell and took ages to finish it? XD;; Yay! Comments and faves, much much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi At first, beautiful wallpaper. Really good vector, I like it. The color of her hair is beautiful and her dress also. I like the flowers in the corner and the little glowing feathers. I think the clouds in the background looks also discreet and good. I also like the sizes of your wall. At last, all in all good work and 100% fav+

ugh you *******you did the clouds yourself :3. The only concern is that the colors are alittle bit too contrasted. But you totally outdid yourself

I really like the idea behind the wallpaper even though it's simpler compared to the original scan but, it also has an incredible impact. Kobato's vector is well defined and has stunning colors while the background is refreshing. I love the lighting here, it makes me feel happy just like the first day of spring. Nice job.

Yup from the title Kobato is really shining bright from her dress :D Nice vector, i like the painting like vector + the colors are bright but the shadings are really good. The background is nice as well though it might be good if you make those clouds a little bit rounder than some streaks but just as you say you done it for fun :) Overall very nice wall! +fav! ^^,

Awwwn, Kobato-chan! 8)E Just a awesome wall from two awesome wallers! ♥ The vexel is really cute, and I loved how you changed the scene, from a night wall to a day happy wall! This sky is simple, but really nice! I liked much of the golden dress, it give a other feeling from the all scene. ^^ But, I think that you would have submitted the other version, with Yoriogi-san. I think that him completed the image... ^^'
Anyway, great job!
Absolutely +fav! ♥♥♥

I think it's so great when people decide to form an inclusion together which produce an end result ' this paper ' that is so successfully. When I look at Kobato's portrait, I feel like it aims to provide a recognizable likeness that is peaceful thus making it function as pleasurable art piece. I think you guys did a wonderful job in choosing the perfect image that displays her true form, and that is her undisputed sheer innocence/nobility (I love the pleasant air surrounding her). I can find no faults in the crafting and presentation of the paper so kudos to you both on a job well done. Your work reflect the ambitions and stylistic imperatives of an exceptional artist. Thanks for sharing!
