Please see this in the biggest resolution first, then you can download your own resolution, because I added a lot of details in this one.
This one really is a hard one, since this wallpaper is 100% vector, and I added a lot of details which maybe can't be seen easily. This was inspired from the manga, AQUA, where Akari stayed at Himeya and saw the beauty of Aqua Alta for the first time. Along the making of this wallpaper, I had a lot of hard times. And I had exams while doing this wallpaper, and I always got some time to do this wallpaper everyday at least 30 minutes in the exams days, because I am a [strike]naughty boy[/strike] diligent waller ;p. Curious about the real scan? you can see it here. About the character, I changed it. Because the one in the wall is really small (I tried vectoring it, but the result was really bad).
The birds were vectored based on this and this snapshots. (They are snapshots from the ending song of ARIA anime)
I got the textures from here.
oh, and this wallpaper was made for scenic Free For All!
Additional Info Program : Photoshop CS2 Time : about one and a half month .PSD file size : 312 MB Resolution I worked with : 3000 x 1875 pixel ->I am afraid my Photoshop will crash if I used any bigger resolution than this with that many layers to work with. Number of layers : about 2200 ->shape layers (the first time I reach this number XD) even my Photoshop get small errors which made me really frustated while making this wall. Opening and saving the PSD file take a minute each
The process 1. The outline of the building2. Coloring the building, with shadows. the hardest part was the window, because it just took long time to finish.3. Made the black buildings on the background.4. added things: * The sea * The sky * The lamp post * Textures * The birds * The clouds
I really want to thanks saku, because she really helped a lot, really, she patiently gave me constructive comments so my wall can become better. And she also told me the site which I got the textures from. Oh, I can go for a page thanking her, so I will just say this: " HOMIGOSH! I love pink! " ;D
well, please at least drop a comment for this wallpaper, because I really put so much effort in this wallpaper. And if you like it, add it as your fav.
thank you very much! @tida

good as usuall tida xD better than the first one :3 what i really like from this is the reflection on the water, the clouds and the building, reminds me of european design style (like i know xD) maybe more detail on the characters will be better.

it's a nice vector, but thats kinda all it is. First of all, akari is way to small, and not very well vectored compared to the rest. you were almost better leaving her out completely, although then it wouldn't qualify for the gallery since there would be no character. i would have found some other way to integrate her instead of trying to follow the scan completely. Maybe have her on a boat. having her back to us would be nice, cause it would allow us to see what she's looking at. The wall itself is a pretty good vector. Nice touch with the reflections of the buildings in the water. I personally would have liked to see more from it. Don't take my comment as mean, just take it as a critique, which is what it is.

well, waht can I say, I think is pretty obvious... THIS WALL IS AMUSING!!!!! 2200 layers!!!! OMG, that´s a lot of work, the escene is beautiful, the colors so brightfull, I love it, +fav(9+_+) it´s brilliant ^^
5 years, 4 months ago
Hmmm, the wall looks quite nice, but it doesn't look like a wall that would need 2200 layers. I think you could improve the wallpaper a lot by adding a lot more shading to the buildings and doing a more detailed vector in general. I find it a lot easier vectoring by a smaller res (say 1600 x 1200) then enlarging it so that the file isn't too big and you can still fit in lots and lots of detail. The water looks really nice and so does the reflections, but I guess I agree with everything Kalico said. Still, I can see that huge amounts of effort went into this wall and it really DOES look good. *Faved*

this wall's amusing XD XD well, im surprised with ur effort XD 2200 layers ~ zomg ><! but maybe i should agree (with above) that maybe it doesnt need that many^^ heeh~ time for the comment, overall the wall's great (feels like cartoon style). my main concern is akari (yeah u will know since im one of her fans XD XD) like kalico said, she looks not well vectored like the other part T.T, maybe u should add some detail, especially on her hair, and maybe a bit outlining with her face~
yeah that's it~ fav for the reflection XD XD XD

Genius. I love it. Very well done. The scenery is fantastic, it made me attracted to it the moment I saw it. ^-^

Ahh, the structure looks very nice! But the girl's outline should be thicker, otherwise it looks like she's just part of the building and not an individual figure. But I love it anyways!

the vector looks nice and clean, and the reflection effect is nicely done maybe u could detailed the girl more

OMG! I saw the original scan and...I'm wordless. It's fantastic. You've done incredibly great work with that.
I love the colors of your wall, they are so bright and playful. Every little detail is perfect here, and these details are also one of the best things about your wall. You're never bored with this wall, you could watch it all over again and you still can find something new. The water looks amazing, especially its glassiness makes it really alive.
Simply, it's adorable.
Congratulations!

Wonderful job, tida-chan!!!
I love the overall blue look from here. The hole scenery is very calm and serene. Great job on the vector. Everything is smooth and clean. I don't really like the girl who looks out of the window but hey, without her you couldn't had submitted it. I have to say that you really have a hand for making such walls. It works perfect for Aria and it is a nice add to my favs. Hope to see more soon ^__^
