So this is the first of two collabs that Flyindreams and I are doing together. Everything in the wall was done by hand, with a few textures overlayed lightly for effect. We started out by brainstorming and then Flyin did the outlines for Sakura. Then we switched off and I colored her. Tossed it back to Flyin for the bg sand, wing statue, and clouds (kudos to her for the wings and desert idea!!) and then I finished off the blending and some painting. It's pretty different than what we started out with, but I think the result is beautiful and really fits Sakura's pose.
Check out both of our website for more resolutions! Enjoy!
From Flyin:
I < 3 Anya. This is the most kickass wall that I've worked on in a long time, and it couldn't have happened without our collabing efforts, so I'm damn proud of the end result!
Sakura outlines vectored from this scan, and when we got stuck for the background I did what I usually do when stuck - nick it off another scan. This one, in this case. 100% mouse work < 3
This whole wall started because of the collab contest at ILD, which gave me a great excuse to pester Anya to collab with me. It's kind of dead, but I'm still really grateful for the opportunity to work with (and get to know) a lovely waller like Anya. Also wanted to submit this as 11. Memory, for the 100 Themes Project @ Instant Noodles.

This is so beautiful I love it when to great wallers come together to make something amazing, I like everything from the sparkles in the sand to the pointy tip in her shoes, I think she looks stunning, I also love the clouds and how amazing the sky looks, it's so simple yet doesn't need much to make it look great. A++ and a fav .(n_n).

I love the desert youpainted,your painting skill deserves a fav,not to say the whole wall looks almost perfect except that I think you should change the colors of the adornment on Sakura's chest(or something like that),I think red or pink might be better than deep-purple Yet a very very beautiful wall! +favourite

I really like the style on this wall, but the shadow irks me. I assume your lightsource is in the sky on the right, so I would expect the shadow to be going diagonally towards the bottom left. Although the shadow appears to be slightly heading in that direction, the angle doesn't feel steep enough given the light source. If you look at just the shadow of her shoes, things look okay, but the rest of the shadow needs to be skewed and stretched out towards the left to look more natural. But that's just me nitpicking, the rest of this wall is still very good, great work!

I absolutely adore this anime. I love the wallpaper for it! The back round is perfect and the idea to have sakura's feathers scattered around her is really good. If it was maybe a little shadowed and the feathers glowed slightly it would be so perfect!

What a gorgeous wallpaper! I really love your choice of background and it rendered so well! I have to agree with nataki about the light source/shadow issue though - the angles of the light verses the angles of the shadow just don't match it.... Fortunately, overall it doesn't hurt the image all that much.
I really like your choice of brown for Sakura's outline, it works so well for her face and hair.
The sparkles are a really nice touch too.
Overall this is gorgeous. ^_^ You guys did such a good job!

Very fantastic vectoring work a must fav~ haha Lovely vector on sakura|(VcV)| But adding some sand floating around in the desert might be better? Cause the wall feels kinda empty from my point of view >:3

really beautiful wallpaper making =) The colors and textures are very detailed and nuanced plus the vectoring work it just great Also, very much like the theme you used and that stone construct in the back all together, the look is harmonious and interesting (^^ >_> a lighter note is that this wallpaper is actually really reminding me of Aladdin, you know, the Disney movie? The background especially looks kinda similar to the animation style ^^) +fav

Next are the feathers! love the idea on putting them! the scatter effect! the lighting is great too which giving a slightly mist effects and lastly the vector! Sakura is just so cute yet innocent too bad she is also a fake one...well great job on the outlines and also the coloring! its almost a painting!

<3Wow! This is simply beautiful. The scenery is awesome and put very nicely together with Sakura. What appeals the most to me is the soft quality of the scan. Looks like watercolors and it's simply fantabulous! Thanks for sharing such a beautiful work, the both of you. Love!|(VcV)|

Thats a very impressibe work... it has many many details like the stone in the background, the feathers, all the sand mountains, the clouds, the shadows and lights, everything is very well done ... it has some kind of "calm" style... but still with lot of life... i love this background, its an amazing work

It's Nice Wallpaper. Simple Concept and Colors in This Wallpaper are Very Calm and Silent. They Express the Princess' Sorrow and Lonely Situation. Her Face and Pose are Filled with Her Wish and Hope to Recover Her Lost Memories. Colors of Desert and Sky are Soft and Natural. They are Well-Match for Sakura's Own Atmosphere. Thanks for Your Good Work.

GREAT composition! My only problem with it is that I don't really feel like Sakura's actually standing on the sand, makes it feel a little... well, shopped. But otherwise, great wall!

the direction of the sun light is good. I like the flying feathers. They show the direction of the wind. It matches with the character's clothes as it is blew to the same direction too.

This looks really good. I like the background and how she's kind of framed by the ruins. The coloring looks good. So basically it all looks good. It seems to represent Sakura's emotions through the series.

It really captures the desert ruins and the mystery of them while showing the desert princes too. Also it shows the connection Sakura has with it and that's really nice and the earthy colors are so great for this wall ^.^

This is really very pretty. That collaboration certainly paid off. I love the soft colours and the mixture between clear and suggested lines. The feathers are a nice touch and the way you framed the central figure is subtle, inventive and very effective at the same time. The sand texture seems very real, and the sparkles are not overdone. It's so easy to get kitschy with sparkles, but that didn't happen here at all. Great job overall, thanks for sharing.
