This wallpaper actually happened by mistake. I was reading a tutorial from Summer Skies on Ethereal Designing. The tutorial itself produced some really cute effects and textures so I figure I will experiment with it. Prior to this, I was browsing through Celestial-Star Gallery and saved a few scans from the artbook of Nature Spirit. I haven't heard of the title myself but the art definitely caught my attention. The title of the artbook is Seven Colors of the Wind, hence the title of the wallpaper.

So I just followed the steps in the tutorial in adding certain brushes in a certain fashion and adjusting layer properties to produce the effect. The downfall was that the tutorial ended suddenly without proper instructions on finishing the wallpaper, for a very good reason. This is where I came in. I added layers and layers of cloud brushes, adjusting the properties of each layer's property to overlay with difference in transparency to produce the soft heavenly effect. I was experimenting with colors to see which produce a better contrast. I also added about three textures to the background from Hybrid Genesis, which you probably can't see really well. The properties to two layers were set to overlay and one to soft light to enhance the effect I was aiming at.

By the time I was done, I realize that the wallpaper looked kind of plain. I didn't want to paste the name of the series so I added random text. If you try to read it, it isn't going to make sense. I was typing incoherent phrases that popped into my head as I went along.

The entire wallpaper took about an hour to make with no breaks, and exactly 14 layers (and a text layer). All in all, I liked the turnout of the wallpaper. I think it is by far my most artistic and favourite wallpaper.

I also made this wallpaper in 1280x800 resolution for widescreen laptops (such as myself). The overall style and feel is exactly the same, but the appearance is a little off. There are subtle differences in the placement of the text and cloud brushes, and the color and position blending of the background texture, due to resizing the texture files to fit the bigger resolution. If you are interested in the larger resolution, send me a message with your email and I'll be more than happy to email it to you!

nice design quite cute too hmm, should a take it easy message be contained in it? the backgound is quite interesting, but i think this wall misses a certain something to distinguish itself from the others and get rid of the common look overall looks good could use a higher resolution...

I like it. The colors are nice and soft and the whole design gives a soft feel. I think it could do with something other than the text (or at least a different font) but other than that I don't see any issues. Well done.

This wallpaper surely is something, there is nice contrast and brightness adjustment for the background, they really fit together with the character. The background, the fountain, the colors and ewerything is perfect! Nice work.
