I know this scan has been walled before, but candy-chan came up with the brilliant Kino Challenge for Paint-o-rama a little while back, so I feel no guilt, even though it technically ended already/nobody really entered anything for it. XD
Painting practice again - I rearranged the clouds in upper right corner of the scan a bit, then painted everything outside the scan (except the rays of sunlight) with mouse + hard round brush. No smudge. I'm a big proponent of mouse-painting... I've always thought that if I can master painting with a mouse then if I ever get a tablet, I'd be able to take full advantage of the capabilities and the $$ I'd crash on it.
When I first started painting I was like X.X grass! But then I got the hang of grass pretty soon and was like damn clouds! They still look kinda poopy, but I figure I should just finish and submit this one while the mood's on, since I started this one months ago. Had to paint this one on my office computer 'cause I didn't want to risk my home laptop (1024x768 res, 256MB RAM, 20GB HD) sputtering and dying before halfway... luckily it cooperated enough for me to put in final touch-ups and signature in :D
Original scan: here. Very light textures from Stock.XCHNG. Thanks to tat0es for support, way back when I showed her first, and Gids for final suggests + checks < 3 And lastly, this is my super late birthday present for cyd84. I originally started something else for her but then I remembered us watching and enjoying Kino no Tabi back in the good old college days, so this seemed appropriate :D *loves*
Addition res @ pixel ellipsis! :D

i began something with the same scan some time ago for that challenge without repercussion. in fact, still im working on it ^^' i like a lot what u did here, but.. but would be so, so much better. isn't that the work is bad.. not at all. is great!! i mean, with your skill you would change the background and make something completely different. the style on your wallie is the same on the scan. some changes on it, wouldn't be bad.

you know, I would absolutely love this wall if it was combined with this one by kuroe [url=http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/wallpapers/Kino-No-Tabi/item54250/][/url] Their not-widescreen size, your beautiful lighting and colours of the scan, and their lettering. I mean, I've always seen that wall a few times in the home, but I never really opened it, because it never caught my eye. But this one, it's brighter, seemed less dull, so I opened it to see what it's all about! (: great job, simple and calming. I like it a lot. Favourite!

even though the elements are basically the same as the 'other' wall you were talking about, this one is awesome because of the lighting <3 and the lighter green of the grass is just so refreshing.

Nice work. I love the sky and the sunlight. It all fit so well together.
5 years, 10 months ago
I love the lighting, especially the attention given to the clouds just left of the phone booth that stands at the near-center of the picture. My only qualm here is that the subject of the picture seems a bit... odd, but then again it probably suits its parent anime well. And the guy's posing in that booth! Either way, all the effects are well done, such as the lighting (cough) on the grass, in the sky, etc., giving the picture a very tranquil atmosphere that invokes those feelings you get when you lie under a soft sky filled with fluffy white clouds, all of whose shadows carry with them vast columns of light that can be seen from miles around reaching up to the heavens...
That's what I get from it, at least. And I like how the anime character (excuse my not knowing his name) and his booth match the animation style of the surroundings, a quality that many other wallpapers I've seen here ignore, which makes the picture much... better. I love it, and it gets a favorite from me!

Trust on flyindreams to wall some of the hardest, most detailed wallpapers the community of wallers can ever see, and I must say, as per usual, your wallpapers remain the most amazing, but I would reckon you wall something other than kino lol all the time, that department has been monopolized by tama.

Mmm, commented on the other wall, and here goes nothing, sorry for the honest opinion and if I misunderstand anything. First thing first, Yes the cloud looks strange. Especially the one with the bobby feeling to it. The colour of the cloud differs. I would suggest you to redo the scan's cloud's colour just to make it match. Or change either one. Imitation to the grass' tiny little texture goes really well considering that you're using a mouse, which I applaud you. There's just this little disrepancy on the light though. It kind of gives off a unreal feeling to it. The patches of light to the left of the phone booth is in a straight line which I do think clouds would not march military way... Other than that, a great extension of the scan. But I do agree that Tama monopolized Kino no Tabi's wall most of the time lol. But considering that you are using a mouse, this is definitely a good wall. Anyways, this goes to my fav too. Keep it up!

I got to say but... this is an awesome piece of work. Everything that you did fits in very well since it seems that it is all part of the original scan. Therefore, it's awesome! One thing I really like is the texture because I think that because of the texture, it makes everything seamlessly fit in with each other. I also like the brightness that you chose since it lightens the mood even more considering how Kino no Tabi is quite realistic and sometimes a bit dark. Overall, great job!

To some it all up in one word, amazing. The background is so realistic it looks like a real photograph, the sun shinning though the opening in the clouds and the shadows of the clouds themselves are all features that make this wall stick out. There is nothing special about the character itself but the quality is there. I'm more impressed by your scenic background as you can tell.

I like this one! I like it so much! It looks like a really beautiful painting! I could find almost nothing wrong with it! but I think the shade of the grass is a little bit to dark and not compatible with the sunshine. I mean, the clouds were supposed to make the shadowed grim colour but not wholly. The upper part; sky, should be brighter I guess. But this is a true masterpiece and one of my favourites yet.

This is simply incredible. I love how the grass almost puts me in mind of cat's fur (a short haired one!), except different shades of green--of course. The light shining down at that particular angle is quite awesome as well. I have to wonder why there's a phone booth in what looks to be a field though? lol Oh the mysteries of Kino no Tabi? Minitokyo is being hair-brained and won't let me see the original image, so I'm not sure if that's how it was in the pic. Anywho, great wallpaper and I'm looking through more of yours.

This is quite nice and you managed to extend the scene with greatly applied painting skills. It's hard to tell where the original art ends and yours begins unless you see the original scan first. Glad it's available in my resolution as well.
