Anyway, I really like Totoro, it's one of my favorite Studio Ghibli movie. So I took this scan and vector it. Actually, I didn't want to trace the sprouts, but it turned out kind of weird to see the characters jumping and cheering on nothing. So I reluctantly did it. The grasses are brushed. The clouds and moon are the usual brush & smudge. The black thing in the background is suppose to be a hill (which is also brushed) >_<
The overall color scheme didn't turned out quite like what I expected. I was hoping the colors could look more vibrant -___- I tried tweaking the hue and adding color layers, but it still doesn't work. Whatever...
Thanks to Ta-Chan for nudging me to finish this and for staying with me when the going gets rough.

Edited: Fix the blur clouds and the hills and reduce the blurriness :o
I know it's not that much of a difference from the first version... I couldn't help it >_<
And because some people are curious, here's how I made the background...
