First of all....I fail! Second is big-description warning! Please read it if commenting
Code Geass work from me again~
Duration: March 22nd - March 27th Time: Vector: Outline: 9 hours Coloring: 11 hours (not sure...)
Backgroud: Outline: 5 hours (I hate perspective....XD) Coloring: 5 hours + 3hrs for ''painting''
Total: 33 hours
Most Difficult: The background! But mostly the trees! Easiest: The vector! Fun Part: I always have fun when vectoring C.C. plus I liked the original concept of the wall
Original Size: 7760 x 5180 PSD Filesize: 235,7 MB Layers: no idea... but they were more than 600 Programs Used: Adobe Photoshop CS2
Original Image Used: Here
I'm going crazy! This is probably the most difficult and complicated wall I have ever done! And the computer...soooo slow...>_>I vectored C.C. from a wallpaper at the official Lost Colors website. The quaility wasn't bad, I've worked with much worse images. The vectoring was pretty easy. I can say I am proud of myself
I had an idea for the background. I wanted to recreate the Ashford Academy so I used a lot of references. I did the stairs and started painting the grass. But then I failed! (if anyone can help me painting grass I'll love you! ) So I just used PS's default grass brush and made my way with it.
I did the building, which was like, hell! I even wanted to paint some bricks on it but I was too tired of it! I can't see that building in front of me anymore! I just added noise to make it less plain.
Then, the trees! Oh, the trees! I also started painting them but the outcome didn't please me, probably because the grass wasn't painted either. So I just left the trees like that (they even reminded me of Van Gogh's paintings....yea..I was that crazy!) Horrible trees I know
I also did the same for the clouds. Just added brushes instead of painting. I have problems with my right wrist (ever since last year) so it is always hurting me and working on the computer just adds more pain, even more than drawing. I need to let it rest a lot, so I can easily tell you that this also made me give up on painting more this wall (have I told you how crazy I was getting with the wall? )
I asked Erika for opinion along the way and for the title. She mentioned how C.C. couldn't be seen and stuff so I ended up with ''Just a Simple Walk'' as in she's forbidden to do something so simple as that (even though she does...X-P)
This is the final result. I want to hear your opinions on it, if there are flaws (I know there are), how can I keep improving,etc... Thank you for reading this loooong description ^^
Hope you like it~

oh wow... so right.
I don't know how to comment on this wallpaper... it's.. just... beautiful. <3
the perfect scan with the perfect background...
...and you made the building... trees, and whatever? extremely amazing kudos to you.
title is perfect.
y'know what? i give this a 10/10 rating. XD I am absolutely blown away by your work. <3

very neat wall,i read the info on it. you sure put a lot of effort into making it. it's not fair that you got a D+ rating anyone could tell that it's really good.you even made her stay in a good position,if it were me i'd give it an A+ rating,and eventhough the trees don't look so good the point is that you tried,and it looked pretty in the end!

Neat vectoring on C.C. =] Read your description and can tell the amount of work you had put in.. Just a small suggestion: u can add some more randomness to the grass they looks a little too even in someway
Good work =]

Looks fantastic... I never saw the series or know the characters themselves. But I do like the overall look of it. And since it's in good ol' widescreen, it gets an automatic thumbs up from me.

C.C. is cute and beautiful in whatever background and pose. Here, you make her look like an innocent school girl just strolling around the school. The vector work is very nice, though I do prefer thicker lines for this. Still, the colors are very good. The background style is very nice and the building looks realistic and I love the trees. But it seems that the sky is just way too simple.

Reflections on the windows are nice details; trees have depth, excellent; sky look like winXP background, it matches; buildings have shadows and angles and doesn't look too vectored which is good, i've seen quite a few brick wall background looke fake like 90' 3D; the grass is too sharp, too sharp compared to the trees, even sharper than the character, but it has nice shades of green.

Ohh I saw this at animesuki yesterday and it was love at first sight :D First, any wall with C.C. is always a good thing but when theres one as nice as this and when shes in her school unifrom then I cant help but be super happy. I just love the whole concept, it works great and its very nice too look at. The vector of C.C. is just brilliant. I always admire awesome vectors like that cause I know it takes alot of skill and time. Anyways, this is just a fantatsic wallpaper and you've got great timing too as R2 is just around the corner :) Thanks a bunch for sharing and I'll be adding this to my favorites for sure.

I've already commented on this @ MT but it won't hurt doing the same here,either. It's an awesome and beautiful wall. I still adore the way you vector the scans because they are so neat and clean and the outlines are so perfectly thin. I always lack of ideas for the backgrounds but you seemingly doesn't because it really first very well. On top of that you vectored the background, makes one additional plus point. ^^

Wow! By your description it sounds like a lot of work (and it probably is, I wouldn't know since i can't use PS :D ). Now the flaws - there's not many, but they bug me a lot. First - the trees and the grass are very different. The trees look so watery and the grass is very sharp, it makes the nature look... well unnatural. And the other thing are the clouds - they look too real compared to the girl. Anyway it's still a good wall :)

*copy paste from MT*
ok! the scan used is totally cute!
i like how you vector C.C and of course it is a one of the cutest pose of C.C the outlines are just great as ever + the sharpness and its cleanliness fits almost everything in your vector so no prob in that part. Now lets go to your background! the building is really well done! i like the vectory style + the window glasses the stairs are good too next is the clouds! man! great job on the placing of the clouds but maybe you add some stuffs like birds there since there are part which are empty, next is the fence! i like the fence so there is no problem with that next is the trees, well wonder if you paint that or you use some scan/stockphoto? but hey i like the coloring, an lastly the grass, well i'm not fond on the grass since the brush used is to overuse and the coloring doesnt contrast the trees so maybe you can make the coloring sames as the trees or make it a little darker, well i guess i can understand you using that brush since its really hard to paint grasses but overall love the vector and its perspective view, great job and keep it up!

It's Nice Wallpaper. Her Face and Eyesight Looks Like Saying 'What are You Starring at?' and Her Pose Covering Her Skirt with Her Hand are Filled with Her Own Attractiveness and Beauty. Two Conflict Atmophere - Sharpness and Shyness - Make Her be More Graceful and Splendid. I Think Her Mini-Skirt and Her Naked Skin on Her Leg Express Her Provocate and Aggressive Spirits. Changing Tone in Blue Colors of the Sky and Smooth Effects in the Clouds are Very Natural and Realistic. Their Calm and Silent Atmosphere is Well-Match for Her. They Create Wonderful Combination with the Heroine's Own Personality. Thanks for Your Good Work.

The amount of work done, and the outcome is perfect, if I do say so myself, this is the best wallpaper I've seen yet, to my taste. Splendid work, I'm still in an awe state of how clear, and wonderful it is. Can't wait to see what's to come next, definitely will await your next work. Thank you very much!

I like the wallpaper.
One thing that I like most is that the wallpaper remember me a scene of a game of RPG (in the parts when the character talks). Maybe isn't your intention but in my opinion this impression is very cool.
And is very nice to "stare" (guess that is the word) at C.C . Very beautiful image.
I like the background too. Mainly the clouds and the trees, was a very good work in my opinion.
Well, is this. See you around!
