This was my entry for the 3rd round of the AP Clash. Congrats to the winners! You guys were awesome! It was a great experience taking part in this. So big thanks goes out to the contest coordinators for making this contest happen. ;) Thanks to the judges too for giving some useful feedback. I've edited the colors of the lady. It's slightly darker now. There were some other interesting suggestions. But due to my lack of free time, i'll just stick to this minor edit. :)
Wallpaper Description
Now onto the wallpaper, the inspiration wallpaper that i've chosen is The Alpha and Omega by @mouritsa. Mouritsa's wallpaper focused on the theme of nature and the birth of life. The way she interpreted this in her wallpaper was really dynamic with all the right lighting, colors and concept. It really is an inspirational piece which depicts the beauty of life. I used this concept and remade it into an Art Nouveau style. I've always wanted to try out this style, so here's my attempt at it. I continued to focus on green colors in my wallpaper to go along with the nature theme. The design within the circle is the Tree of Life. The lady there also symbolizes the beautiful "Mother Nature". As for the stained glass design, i've added in butterflies because it symbolizes rebirth and life. Oh and if you're wondering, the text is in Latin which means "Nature, The Mistress of Art".

Wahh, it's so stylish and green! I love the crispiness of the vector and the natural greens, really goes well with the Mother Nature theme. The style is also quite interesting and unique. Somehow, I think the stained glass could be less, uhm...stained (?) because it kind of takes away the spotlight from the beauty of the woman...
Other than that, this is really pretty! Nice job, Eva! :D

the colour scheme is really pleasant to the eyes. i think the bg should be lighter to allow the lady in the middle to stand out more

I am totally approving of the Nao scans that have been showing up.
Background is clean, simplistic, professional. More than anything I feel as I'm looking at a wallpaper for some fantastic anime MMORPG (.. which I've never actually played). My only real gripe about this wall would probably be that she's much more manga-style than anything else.
Awesome job. :3

Talk about combining the simplistic and the complicated. I like it. Over all it has a nice feel to it and almost Hot Wicked Which of the West campaign poster, just no green skin. Very good composition.

Some walls are just walls and some are just masterpieces and that's what this is.You used many different elements but you still managed to capture all of them into one cohesive design, it's just breathtaking, beautifully done couldn't get anything else but a fave~

This is beautiful. The background is simple and elegant, and fits well with Tukiji Nao's detailed work. The clouds and swirly title strip in particular are very nice. The colors fit together very well.

I like it -- although...I'm really not too crazy about the stained glass window below. Either way +fav =)

classic, I never thought I'd see someone interpret Nao Tukiji's scans this way =o love the clouds and trees you chose to work with, and the composition is very good.
Methinks it needs just a bit of texture to help blend the smooth vector with the scan, but then that's a minor issue :3

Oh noes! Here I am to put a giant essay on your deliciously green wallpaper. Personally speaking, I think this wallpaper should of scored a bit higher, but it was really nice to see you in the final round of this competition. You had some wonderful concepts and turned them into fantastic wallpapers. Even though you didn't place, you certainly placed high with me.
First off, I want to stress this above all else, this wallpaper really stands out because of the fantastic choice of scan you used. I really mean that. She balances everything out so nicely and you can tell that you greatly crafted everything around that gorgeous image as well. I'm especially fond of her head wear there. I wonder if someone can get something like that.
The background. Oh boy the background. Did I ever tell you I'm really fond of green? Because I am and this wallpaper is rich with it. A variety of shades and hues of beautiful, delicious green. Probably one of my favorite aspects is you mixed in a stained glass with the Art Nouveau style and it looks gorgeous. The symmetry really compliments itself nicely with the light, clouds and butterflies all nicely balancing each other out. However, my favorite part was the inclusion of the tree in the area with the scan. I remember when I first glanced at it, it literally looked as if she was the foundation of the tree, with the branches sprouting out of her. It was at that moment I fell head over heels for this wallpaper.
To me, this wallpaper is the very essence of springtime. With the colors and the combination of the tree, I plan on making this my springtime wallpaper for as long as I have it. Nicely done, Chibi!
