So tropical and fresh looking~ I already saw 2 versions of the scan in a sunset wallpaper..and well, it was kind of annoying how people assume orange/reddish colored scan = sunset bg. It wasnt exactly annoying, but just..kind of typical and unoriginal. I'm not saying my version is original, but a blue day-time ocean wouldnt be the very very first thing you would think of when you see the original scan right? so anyways, I saw The Pirates of the Caribbean recently, and that one scene where they're on the beach....well, it really inspired me to make a caribbean bg! I absolutely LOVED that beach. The water was so incredibly pretty and clear. I wanted to make the water a little more clearer in this wall bg too, but I had so many different layers of water that it was kind of hard and I just kept it to the part under Haruhi. I know her one arm looks a little akward because its going off the page at a wierd angle..but if you just think of it as her putting her arm on top of her stomach..well then it doesnt look so bad anymore. It looks so refreshing...just floating in the ocean and looking up at the sky. Of course any beach scene cant go without a few seagulls! And I'm so proud of myself because I made the entire ocean by myself (no ocean stock photos were harmed or used in the creation of this wallpaper! ) and I made the fuzzly little islands in the distance. The clouds are brushes from DA of course. too lovely to be handmade by me the pretty pink flower in the front is called a plumeria. I dont know if they have those on the caribbean islands, but they do have them in hawaii. They're my favorite flower! I think they should be the state flower rather than the hibiscus (in my opinion). The hibiscus is the flower on Haruhi's ear. Oh, yes. the hibiscus. well, that was originally an orange-y red, and I had a rather hard time making that a yellowish color. but it all worked out in the end and I'm happy~ It still looks a bit orange..but ah well. The yellow and red hibiscus is the official hawaii state flower! (errr...yea, now that I look at the wall again, it looks more orange than yellow)
if anyone wants a text-less version, I can always up that to imageshack or something too.
the girl in the background (dunno her name) was from another scan that came in to MT at the perfect time! nyahaha used it to my advantage since the wall looked a little forlorn before.
Layers - hmm suprisingly, only 32 time - 3 days, about 6 hours each day
all critiques and comments are very VERY appreciated! err...I cant think of anything else...so I'll stop rambling and let you take a look at the wall.
oh yea...I just couldnt resist the sparkles again...
so theres a bunch in the ocean. but at least the sky has escaped from my sparkle brushes, and remain clear this time!
note to the mod : I tried making the quality a little lower, so hopefully it'll be okay this time. ^-^

thanks for sharing, man! Definite FAV! Jusuchin-Corocoro

Besides the fact that the image quality can be improved, and the seeping water part, I really like this idea! it is very refreshing, and interesting. ..LoL suzumiya looks like she didn't wear anything xD
6 years, 10 months ago
I was iffy when i first spotted this, but once i actually looked at it the scan works pretty good with the oceanic goodness, and the gal in the backround, who im pretty sure is Yuki fits quite well also, a good job indeed.
6 years, 10 months ago
wow gj using that scan and making it seem like shes in water gj. +fav

Wow!I've seen this scan in many walls already but this is the first time I see water version with it!Got to say I love the colour of the water^_^! Well this is indeed a very refreshing and cute summer wall.Nice background from my point of view!I really like it,it makes me think at the sea^_^!
6 years, 10 months ago
Nice wall but the colors are too sof for me. Beautifull water, the background is good. Nice job
6 years, 10 months ago
Oh wow. Im amazed on you contruscted this wallpaper. The concept is just right with the design of your wallpaper. The colours are absoulutely amazing and the reflection on the water is just top notch. The seagles in the background really looks great. I really how you added those extra details to this wallpaper. Like the clouds, islands, seagles, water waves and such. You've done a pretty good extraction of the scan of suzumiya. Adding yuki in the background was really an added bonus in my opinon. But hey, I really love this wallpaper.
All in all, you've done a really maginficant wallpaper with great colours and scan. The details is just amazing and the perspective of this wallpaper is really well viewed. Though the can of suzumiya could be a bit smaller. But the besides that, it's an amazing wallpaper. I would love to see more like it. Keep up the amazing work.
Oh, do you have a 1280x1024 version by any chance?

love the wall
6 years, 10 months ago
Voila... Amazing, You did a good job there. And I agree with you, Sunset maybe made this wall pretty, but it
s kind a boring... A day ocean like this give more refreshing situation. To be Honest Im too, Like Beach more than anything else... Fav for me.6 years, 10 months ago

It is cool and fit in summer. The color of water is beautiful.
6 years, 10 months ago
great way, you have made the water, but the chara it selfs looks like she is standing somewhere, but it doesn't matter to me, couse this wall is so nice, i like the ocean too. The small one at the left side gives this picture a lot of space, nice nice fav^^
6 years, 10 months ago
the enviroment and scan blend well great job, i like it
6 years, 10 months ago
I really love the colors in this wall. The water and sky are simply beautiful and Haruhi fits in nicely with the sea as if she's really floating on the water. It's a very summery wall. The small flower and text blend in with the wall perfectly thanks to them being well placed. Very nice work! +fav
6 years, 10 months ago
To me it really doesnt look like shes floating on the water (if she is supposed to be) but it still looks good the way you set up the water. It still is a great wallpaper though.
6 years, 10 months ago
I think I have found the summer wallpaper I was looing for. Great thing it's from haruhi suzumiya ^_^ Great job man
6 years, 10 months ago
How beautiful! I love the colour in there ^.o
6 years, 10 months ago
What can I say, a nicely done wall. Good job.
6 years, 10 months ago
I've seen the movie too and i see what scene you mean. It's a really good and refreshing idea. I like how you put her in the water and the other far away; may be a little too far or not. It depends. Anyway, it's a good job and a good idea to put the reflexion on the water like this. Good work.
6 years, 10 months ago
So relaxing... and the thinking expretion...the background, the colors. Great job! keep it up! ^^
6 years, 10 months ago
i like the bright colours, but it's kinda weird how you used that bumpy texture on the water
6 years, 10 months ago
Oeh first wallpaper from Haruhi I really like! Good job! ^_^
6 years, 10 months ago
Good wall... That's a nice colour you have choosen 4 the water.... In fact i would like to be in her please right now... in that beautifull sea... swimming Well... good job!! congrats 4 that great wall... ByezZzz...
6 years, 10 months ago
really nice one, i saw that image and i couldn't imagine this girl floating in the ocean, cool idea, she looks so beautiful on that background, the water also looks so amazing, everything is very well done, i'm gonna add this wallpaper to one of my favourites, keep doing walls like this
6 years, 10 months ago
The scan could use sum cleaning but other than that I like the creativity here! Great job on creating the water and I find it cute putting Yukin there in the back! Also the sky and the entire scen is well done! Favorites for me! OH and I guess my Sunset Suzumiya wall was annoying and unoriginal huh?
6 years, 10 months ago
Ah... i lik the way yu use this scan... i see, well, maybe, 10 or 11 wallies with the same scan, but, your is diferent... and this is cool hum! ^__^ Thanks for sharing!
see ya!
6 years, 10 months ago
I really like the wall, the texture's very nice.
6 years, 10 months ago
Wondeful, however I've seen this scan a million times. It's just a bit award seeing it this way. But again, this was a wonderful idea. Staliteangel, you my dear, are full of win.
6 years, 10 months ago
i dont think similar wallpapers are bad. ^_^
the composition is unique. i hope to see more from your works
6 years, 10 months ago
Nice and clean. The reflection in the water is what sets this wall off.
6 years, 10 months ago
Very cool i like the colors
6 years, 10 months ago
Wonderdull wall. I like the effects especially the reflection in the water. Great work.
6 years, 10 months ago
That was pretty creative of you to change the position and the water looks pretty nice but her position is kind of weird and she looks awkward in that position too.
6 years, 10 months ago
Oh, wow! This is soo pretty! Haruhi is very cute, and the water-effect is so cool! I would like to swimming too. :p
6 years, 10 months ago

Haruhi is soo hot! I just love this anime. She is definetly my favorite anime character rite now. I am so sad the anime is over. I hope they have another season. Anyways this wallpaper is very well done. She just looks wonderful here. Keep up the good work!!! =)
6 years, 9 months ago
I feel that you're very right in saying that the sunset version is a bit overused and a bit unoriginal as well. I really love this piece and I love how it lookes like it's a screenshot yet the contrast is great and there's so much texture. You did a great job with the water and I think it looks perfect this way. A perfect feel for summer and it's simple, another great aspect in such a wonderful wallpaper. Simplicity is always the key and you did just that. This wallpaper is simple, yet very eye-catching and drawing.
6 years, 9 months ago
I was iffy when i first spotted this This wallaper give me a coolling feeling, it is very fit for this season. wonderful feeling, great job!! l love haruhi very much!

I really like how you redid this image into a new wall. And Yuki in the background is a nice touch.

I like that one a lot, mate! Indeed it looks very exotic and quite realistic, I mean the water looks just great! I really which i could be there now, instead of being in science class in Tasmania! *smile* Anyhow I like the colors too!
6 years, 8 months ago

Cute wallpaper ^^ the ocean looks gorgeous...I got a little confused, she looked somewhat angry from a certain angle.

6 years, 2 months ago
I like the bright day look to it and the sparkling ocean is a good idea. the colors go great with her and the putting the girl in the background was a good idea it would probably look empty without it.overall good job
6 years, 2 months ago
The colors are cool and fresh and the picture and wall give an cool and tropical summer look. -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- SOS-Cute-Girl
6 years, 2 months ago
The idea is nice and its kinda well made, like the details but i feel like a reflection in the water would be better rather than seeing whats under the water
6 years, 1 month ago
the water's so pretty!

OMG I love what you've done with this wallpaper I like the background and the water - but I think you would have been better off not adding yuki in the background she seems to distant, anyways good job

Woah, I love this! It's very refreshing, good job! +fave

Love it. Seems like something is missing in the background. The overall texture is nice though.
4 years, 11 months ago
*claps* I REALLY like this! The blue of the ocean is SO extremely paradiscal, and Haruhi looks so relaxed. Its calming in the sense that it makes you feel that hustle and bustle isnt everything in life :P
Um....one thing though. Her bathing suit top is extremely skin coloured on my computer o__O I thought she was skinny dipping for a moment xD
But all in all! A job well done
