Well I love your background nice job puting it together and the celestial like curtains are great. The only thing that I would work on is that the character scan seems to not be mixing well in with the background around the borders. Maybe try fixing tha tup a bit. Otherwise nice wallpaper.

Any suggestions on how to do that?¿?...
waiting for more comments :) please

Did you have to shrink the character down from a big scan? I see some aliasing (jagged edges) on the hair over her forehead which isn't a problem with the extraction but the resizing of the image? I'm not sure of a quick way to smooth those out other than zooming way in and fixing it by hand pixel by pixel with a small brush, sorry =(. I think the edges that Bwilhem is talking about might acutally be a lighting problem. If you look at the character, she is being lit from the right side. This throws the lighting off because the window is on the left side. Could you put the window on the right side of the character or flip the character? You might also want to darken her a little or lighten up the room to match eachother. As a personal suggestion I'd like to see some perspective on the desk to give the room some more depth. I hope this helps and I didn't just talk your ears off.

Yeah i notice the jagged edges on the hair over her forehead... i can fix them by hand.. i did it before so... i won't be a problem...
I put some hair on the table so that she blends more... unluckly I can't turn her... cause I changed many things with the pen tool... and if i move her it would be a problem... Can you imagine a light inside the room jijiji :P ...
any suggestions for the lighting problem..?
btw... which category does she belongs to?¿?... cause i found her picture long time ago in some web page i can't remember...

I like this one more than your first 'girl at the window' wall :P But the whole thing seems more nocturnal than a 'lazy day' theme. Try thinking of a more fitting title; in the meantime there are some yellowish highlights on the windowframe that should be white or light grey. You could adding a bit of blur for extra realism; create a selection by Ctrl-clicking the curtains layer, then switch to the window frame and underlying layers and add a soft Gaussian blur. But only do this at the very end, when you're sure you're not going to change anything! You should also try darkening the girl selectively; like gently painting over her black tights and shoes, around the lower edges of her dress with black (avoiding other areas like her skin, arms and hair) so she appears to fade into the darkness of the room. It'll add a touch of mystique.
Well you could shift the painting over just a bit and throw one of these
up on the wall. Of course yours will have to be a lot better than my 2 minute quickie. Ha ha ha =). But that will change the lighting in your room a bit too so you will need to create a new layer on top and create some gradiants at low opacity or change the current color fills. Also, go ahead and get rid of the character's drop shadow and paint one in since the only shadow she'll be casting is on the desk. Salutations my dear.

I favor the first one. I feel like too much detail is lost in the second darker version. Looking forward to your next version! Let me know!

Here is another one... i corrected the scan.. all the jagged lines.. and added some shadows...
what do you think?¿?
what do you think?¿?
*butts in*
well, my opinion. =]
i think it's my monitor, but some lines look a bit pixelated...uh, it's probably just me i see some white lines that go with her left ear thingy (her left, our right). is it supposed to be there? it's smooth so no big deal, but just wondering. and i don't like the whole drop shadow kind of shadow behind her. makes her look flat like a piece of cardboard. =s
total agreement with furikuu that the atmosphere of this wall is far from a 'lazy day' it seems like nighttime, even though the sky outside contradicts that. and speaking of lighting, it probably matters to nobody else but it is a bit strange to me that the girl is lit up from a light source to the right side (our right side) but the window is lit straight on.
and now, to pick on the window. the vertical curtains themselves and the top horizontal piece of cloth overlap, right? then the part where they overlap should have higher opacity than where they do not. ;P and as well, i feel that the shading on the vertical curtains could be better drawn.
my two cents. xP

Ok I'm home from work now, did some cleaning and now I'm back. The smoothing looks great, the color looks great. There's one more piece of hair that's a little jaggy, the top piece on the right. Try extending the shadow on the top of the desk you made so that the hair is casting it too. I didn't notice it until Asa pointed it out that the window is being lit from the front center. And there I was "bla bla lighting this" and " yadda yadda lighting that". Maybe a little fix for the lighting might be shading the back wall with a gradiant that is lighter on the right gets darker as it goes left then a little lighter as it gets closer to the window. You could even put a little shine on the painting/picture on the wall hinting at a light source that is off screen. ;)

Silly girl, nobody said you had to make all these changes in one day. But you have made a great improvement. The wall looks great. I'm too tired to critique right now though =0. I'll talk to you tomorrow, ha ha ha.
