To make a wall using Nao Tukiji’s art can be tricky.
I was about to kill myself by choosing this scan even though I fell in love with this art work of Nao Tukiji since I saw it in the gallery months ago.
Tried several BG design and everything is a failure to me because of my tired brain (Thanks to work). I’ve been changing from ancient map to ocean and everything looks weird, even drawing my own shells won’t work and towards the end, I decided to forget about everything and make use of the floral brushes and textures which I am familiar.
Half asleep and half awake in front of the Photoshop for 5 hours, I managed to get this. No…actually with all the trial and errors, I’ve been facing this for like 3 – 4 weeks. O.o
Well, it looks like a frame or perhaps Cinderella’s carriage (pumpkin with swirling leaves?) , at least I do not end up abandoning a scan again. XD
For this wall, I make use of some textures downloaded a while ago online (some from DA), as well as some foliage brushes from Brusheezy and DA. Brushed the tones by using a mixture of grudge and water colour brushes. Hmmm…I’m happy to see that my random mixture of things turned out well. I can even play with colours in a semi conscious state. X3
Comments are welcome. Hope I can make better walls and continue improving and learning. My retirement from walling won't be that soon I hope. XP

Pretty... I like the frame concept, very fitting. Textures and use of brushes really bring a "classical" feel to the wallpaper. I can't think of much to say as I'm still half asleep... Maybe I would like the ellipse border to also share the floral brush's texture; seems a bit disjointed from its surrounding. But... very nicely done!

Thanks! Glad that you like it. I intended to create a classical look for this one and am glad that all the elements complimented each other well. I'll try out with some floral design in the border when I'm free. Thanks for the suggestion! X3

This is really lovely! I don't know why, but I'd like to see a blue version as well, if that's possible. Maybe you tried that already.
10 months, 3 days ago
Thanks for the fav! I'm glad that you like it. I've tried blue colour before and unfortunately it does not work well due to the green and golden colours found on the character. Anyway, thanks again for the suggestion. X3

really nice wall
the color of background feels very warm
and i like this warm color but as the tittle of song of the ocean
i think the girl in the mirror is much better fit the wall
and what about the green hourglass
i mean, i didn't see any significance of it
so that's all my personal opinion hope you don't mind :)
keep kicking

Superb I love the fancy portrait like setup of the wallpaper! The curly fancy things around the oval are really cool. Great choice of scan too, I love the yellow hues in the background it complements the image with the nice faded fancy shapes in the background too!

Very nice!

Very detailed, and a great choice of colors. It looks like a complete chaos it the middle but somehow pleasant for the eye. I think adding one or two red kanji characters would make it look more exotic.
10 months, 2 days ago
Thanks, holy! It looked messy in the middle because of the character and the floral brushes maybe. I've lower the opacity and retained it as without the floral design, it looked empty in the middle. XP Red kanji sounds like a good suggestion. I'll try that when I have the time. Thanks! =3

What a fantastic character design. It's even more apparent when contrasted with the simple background. Great work
10 months, 1 day ago
certainly one of your best wallpapers yet, the whole entire concept of the wallpaper blends perfectly with the background and character, the color of the background gives out a calm yet chaotic feel. overall amazing job OwO

This is a really eye-catching wallpaper; I simply love the contrast between the shadows and highlights. The emerald on the lower right seems a bit off, but that's just me nitpicking. Overall good job!
10 months, 1 day ago
I was thinking if I should remove the emerald and clone the waves while cleaning the scan. I left it there in the end. >.> Will try to remove it when I have the time (or I should say when I have the mood to work on it XP) Thanks for the support, Stebbie! huggle glomps

I really love how this have very classical feel X3 You did awesome job with the brushes except with that odd one sticking out. the one on the left side O.o I really like the texture too and how you did the blending of the background XD And also great work on the extraction XD
10 months, 1 day ago
That the small weird one on the left. I should remove that...I've been staring at that for a while. Gonna edit this on Friday after work. Plus, the weird emerald O.o Thanks, chewub! huggle glomps samooch

Hi Reesha, how are you now? Haven't talk to you in very long time :)
Well, I love the colour combination of your wall, it given me a warm feel, and the texture also match with the picture & the BG. Another great work of you, you're really great in using brush effect^^
See ya, hope can enjoy your next great wall soon, bye~ (PS: no using live messenger anymore? )

WOAH. O_O
Emerald and Golden-themed wall bursting with life! Look at all those intricate details. Bantam is right, fancy details that make your eyes swirl with delight. And the design around her looks like it's a feudal portrait of her in a plate that will beautify your place.
You make AP so proud. Another big +1 and keep it up ree-ree!

I agree with you making a wall using Nao Tujiki's scans are tricky! Anyway I like the fancy portrait concept of the wallpaper, The background is simple but you did it with a nice textures and added nice faded swirls and flowery stuffs. The scan really fits the whole wall and nice touch with those swirly flowery stuffs around the scan which gives more feeling of classy! Overall you did a great job with the scan and its background! +fav! ^^.

o noooo! i missed it when it came out! Dx
this is really beautiful, this is different wall from your other walls u've posted so it's a nice detour from you're other works^^ but it's still a pretty reesha wall xD that scan really is difficult to work with, and yes i would've pulled my hair out by the end of the making of the wall^^ the brushes fit the frame really well and the textured background looks really soft and complement the scan^^
you did an awesome job^^

Its cool :D

I love it !!! Art like this is so hard to find.... i like all the different aspects about it. How she has a fin next to her head. How her escense is encompassed in an intricate frame. I love all the random details and objects. If you dont mind my asking or suggesting? Id love this same picture with a green background!! I think it would look fantastic.
