***** FULL VIEW PLEASE ********
Well .. i just loved this scan the moment i saw it ... I don't really know the reason ... maybe her soft and dreamy expression ... At first i loved her hairs ... thinking that Clamp can make so beautiful drawings ... While i extracted the scan i began to hate more and more that same very hairs ... in short they were a real pain to extract ... not that difficult but tedious and long ... I also re-cg 2 feathers of the micro .. nothing hard ...

For this wallpaper i wanted to eperiment something new ... i absolutely wanted to go for an abstract bg For a simple reason : experiment new(for me) things and try/learn new techniques XD

My concept was to show her singing, and creating life all around her from her music ...

It is a long time since i wanted to work only with the "difference" blending mode ... because i always thought it gives a nice effect ... well it just invert the colors but whatever ...it is still nice

I take the opportunity of this wall to realize 2 of my projects XD ...

For the bg , it went into several modifications/improvement ...

Some of the tests i made XD ...

Test 1 Test (about) 20

It didn't satisfied me ... it was just too plain and i wouldn't have beared this wallpaper on my desktop even 1 day ...

I vectored several floral patterns from stock photos and then decided to change the whole bg and make it more meticulously by trying to choose the best position of each plant shapes behind her Needless to say it was quite long And several tryes/headaches later i finally got the effect i wanted XD i'm such a slow worker ..

After that even though it looks correct, it still looks plain for me, blue shapes on plain black bg o.o So i decided to add textures ... all are from deviant art ... one is a japanese pattern and the other a paper texture ... don't remember where i took them ... maybe i'll edit the description later if i found them again

For the birds, i draw them from scratch taking some pics as models ...

Even if they are darker, you'll maybe noticed some clover leaves, i draw them from scratch too ... Almost all are 3 leaves clover except for one (yeah only one) which is a 4 leaves one ... A cookie and a year of luck for anyone who find this one XD

As for the text : maybe you won't be able to read it well but it is more for decoration, I can provide a text less version of it if you request it ...

Nothinh much to say ... Except this wall gave me some hard time thinking ... :p I also played a lot on color settings to give that effect so it's not a quickie *takes out a big gun and prepare herself to shoot anyone who pretend it's a quickie*

The light blue on the feathers (on the micro) is normal, it is from the color of the outline in the original scan ..

On a side note : I turn all the vectors of floral shapes into brushes ... if anyone is interrested i can upload the set on my DA account ... just request by comment or PM ... THe brushes are rather big so don't hesitate to ask ...

Time : begun on may and finished today ... ;) Layers : more than 20 File size : about 20Mo

Even though it looks a bit strange, i hope you 'll all like this wall ... if not then i'll maybe provide the non inverted colors version ...

***** EDIT *****

With everyone suggestions i edited a but the wall : The lips (thx Supermonchi) The japanese pattern (thx Annex .. on a side note i think that texture is from Tama Neko's site but not sure since i found it on a set of pattern from DA )

VERSION 1 : Orange toned - non negative version : (for those who don't like blue )

VERSION 2 : Non negative scan + blue bg ...

VERSION 3 : version initially posted on AP :

If you like any of the additionnal versions please comment and fave XD

OMG! This is gorgeous! I absolutely love how the wallpaper looks like its a negative (as in the colors), but its so amazing! You can tell by the quality that its not a quickie. A quickie would definitely not turn out this good! You must have worked so absolutely hard on this. Erm, also may I request for the brushes? when I saw them first, I thought they were the prettiest brushes! Please?

Anyways...back to the wallpaper. Ive never seen clover, but this is the best clover wallpaper Ive seen so far! MUST FAV!

Hey Great one again! But will you ever stop making so long description I'm getting bored to read it all the way :p Anyway the whole things turn out great, this negative kind effect isn't bad (by the way making a negative effect on in doesn't like as great as the orginal :p ) Well what else... The bg is clean and pleasant. It must be a fav.

holy crap! that is some description! lol ;p i personally think it looks awesome. bout time someone had the guts to do difference mode, it can really look cool. and she definitely looks great. i think of the other two you made, test 20 is the nicest. i think both wps will make an appearance on my desktop :) +fav

Interesting negative effect. It's not often used, but then it's also hard to pull off. Great choice as far as the scan and a nice job.

Elfe this wall looks absolutely magnificent! Absolutely love the character, her pose, her expression, the bg swirls, great choice of the texture - everything looks really good together and makes the overall wall simply elegant.

The only thing that bugs me is the negative fx makes her lips look fat and it's the first thing that grabs my attention since it's bright and right in the middle. Maybe it's just me. Still, congrats for a great one! +fav

my only problem is that the pattern in the bg isn't a solid repeat pattern. it has obvious start and finish lines.

nice extraction and cool color concept, very daring.

Have a nice day!

yeah the difference mode is always fun to look at, you're one of the few who I've seen use it so well. the bg is really gorgeous though, it's just an original magical piece, great job on the "difference" of the overall wall.

Diggin the scan u've chosen. CLAMP's work nevr ceases to amaze me. The negative effect is really summin. And it looks really good with the abstract background and I'm a sucker for abstract backgrounds cos they are so simple in style. easy to draw (on paper; if not for photoshop) and look awesome in the end. Like the creativity in this wall and how her singin creates the birds a.k.a new life. So u have basically achieved wut u set out for. Personally I'd prefer it without the negative effect but still this is some amzing work. *Faves

Its gorgeous elfe-noire43. A time-consuming wall well done ^_^. I would have loved it more if Test 20 was put up as ur wall with the abstract bg. I like the colour concept overall of ur wall. The light blue of the her clothers gives her an inner glow whereas her skin is blended in with the bg. It looks like she is reaching out to viewers while dragging the bg with her. Beautiful Favs

This is a really great wallpaper, it's amazing all the detail and the style you put into it. It's just awesome work an I'm adding it to my favs for sure :) ...but there is one thing, I really think her left eyelid shouldn't be that dark, an maybe a little less dark on the top of her right one too. It um, it kinda makes it look like her eyelids are her eyes and that they're blank and black an stuff...

wow this is a really nice wall! This is one of my favorite characters from clover as well (oruha right?), but I'll definetly give u props for finding a nice image that actually looks good inverted (alot of images look terrible when they are inverted). I looked at the other versions as well, and I can't figure out which I like best XD they are all really nice, but yah definetly gonna give you a fav for this one :3

The concept is unique. Somehow I feel that Oruha still stands out too much from the background.

i absolutely enjoyed your wallpaper. each version has its own style and mood. first version, the one with orange tone is good, but i think it would've been better if the background is a dark color, so that the orange pattern stands out. 2nd version, it's artistic, mysterious, and looks good. but compred to the 3rd one, it lacks creativity. the 3rd version, i absolutely loved it. it's so unique and just stands out among other works. good job. :)

This is a different take on this image and I like it. You picked the right blues to bring out the details of Orah's character without making it contrast too painfully. Nice job.
