After seeing the animation movie “Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo”, also known as “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time”, I just had to turn the official poster into wallpaper because it deserves way more promotion. Since I have yet to see someone recomposing this artwork the way I wanted it to be, here’s my take. Truth to be told, I painted the sky ages ago for an abandoned wallpaper. And guess what? They just matched perfectly the dynamics I wanted to give to this new piece of work!
Unlike the original poster, I wanted to have cirrus clouds (wispy and transparent) and not cumulonimbus (puffy and solid). Because cirrus are high clouds, it gives the impression Makoto flies even higher in the sky, reinforcing the epic feeling of the scenery. They fill most of the right space and leave a hole to the right to balance the composition. For a depth effect, a light fog has been added at the bottom of the picture and for a dynamic effect, a motion blur has been partially added on Makoto. Afterall, Makoto jumped right among the clouds! ;) Enjoy the texture-free and text-free wallpaper!

Thanks for sharing!! This is my favorite anime movie of the year!! Toki Wo Takeru Shoujo is very touching and your wallie is well made. I really love how you worked the clouds!! But the blurred effects you did on Makoto didn't look that great. But I like it anywayz!

I just recently saw this movie. It was very good and I encourage all to see it. The image is a strong one from the film and title carried across all the way through. The effects and colouring on the wall are excellent. It's detailed and stands out very well. Top work.

Nice to see more TokiKake!
This wallpaper has a very clean feeling, which makes the "flying" aspect seem even more supported. Also, not sure if this was on purpose or not, but the wings right behind her bag almost look like the shape of wings. o_o I love the glare/shine/whatever it is on her foot as well. The only complaints I have are that her right shoe looks a bit cut off on the end, and the glare in the top left looks very... "standard" I guess you could put it. But this is a lovely wallpaper either way, so thanks.

Nice vectoring, and a nice wall but I've gotta say that I wasn't particularly fond of the motion blur effect, I think it hurts the wall, but still I like it. Nice job ^^

At first when you don't know the movie you'll obviously mistake the character as SAYA in the anime tv series: BLOOD + hehe...8)E
The wallpaper is so simple and yet brilliant.

Most people could think this is a rather simple wall (and it is, in fact) but the effect of the clouds gave it a feeling of movement that I love ^_^
