This is my wallpaper for Six For Tea, a site/project for helping Japan and victims of the destructive earthquake and tsunami disaster.
I usually don't browse the Vocaloid section (never been a fan and Hatsune Miku annoys me for some reason) but the scan I stumbled upon really had everything I had in mind and in a way, it represents Japan perfectly.
This is technically-wise nothing special and didn't take long, a few hours give or take but I really wanted to do something else than promote the project and since I don't have any money to donate, this is all I can do.
If you're interested, feel free to visit the site and help any way you can - donating, promoting or making a wallpaper; at times like these, every help is more than welcome.
Original scan: HERE. Brushes used here belong to Aikensha (cranes) and starwalt (grunge/abstract) from dA.
Feedback is as always, welcome.

I should have recognized this as your work even before taking a closer look. I like the design of your BG, and the twisting of the color palette; and I also agree, the rising sun theme represents Japan nicely.

Wah, now this is different from your usual stuff, but very cool looking too. :D Love the colors. :3 The sun effect is nice, though I probably would have made the "zig-zag" water effect less Z-like and more varied or something...just looks too uniform/repeated to me. @_@ You could possibly spread the ripples out as well - like some random one drifts more to the left side, something like that. :) Reminds me of my Hapkido t-shirt setting sun design. XD

Pray for the Japan's suffer, hope they can get recover soon...
I like your wall, it feel so great.. Even the wall look clean but the concept idea is so strong, really give me a sad feeling T_T

Another wall which shows our hope and support for Japan, as well as our Mother Earth. I like the texture, and how you did the ripple effect. ^^ Since you can vector, why not vector the crane. So that it would look clean and perhaps you can brush some textures over it. XD A great wall which projected your thoughts and idea. Have to support it!

even though it's simple, you made excellent stylistic choices like integrating text into her headphones and doing the 'reflection' effect on the sun, as well as the subtle streaks of white in her hair. Even the cranes are well placed! Awesome work.
Minor issue, the cranes are a tiiny bit jagged around the edges... but then you can ignore that lols.

Totally missed this wall as well, thanks @FiiFo for tweeting it. I really like the SixForTea project, so it's good to see more people joining in and providing wallpapers. This one is nice, I like the vector because her skin blends well with the background while the outlines blend with the hair. Composition wise it could be improved, but ah well. Kudos!

I just love the concept so much, the sun is the best.

This is brilliant. The simplicity is so nice, and those birds add a nice touch to such a background and theme. Sorry for the late comment. Better late than never eh?

This is absolutely gorgeous, the simple forms make it very elegant and meaningful <3

Nice work! Great choice of colors because you get this really calm feeling by looking at it. The only thing that slightly bothers me is the endpart of the headphones.

Orange colors in the wallpaper are very gorgeous and silent. They are drawing calm music she is listening.
