We had a fall themed wallpaper contest, yeah I know they motivate me :P, but I wanted to do something with a sunset. Actually this is a sunrise, a stock picture my mother took while camping, but hey! it works ;P The water was a bit difficult and I ended up having to rotate the images around to get the desired light refraction that it finally ended with. I looked at a lot of different images to get a realistic yet drawn feel to what I drew in myself. The sunset is probably about 6 or 7 layers with every different effect I could find. It took longer than I expected, but its finally done and I like it. Special thanks to Muzzy Von Doom for the critiques along the way, and for constantly telling me that the sunset isn't good enough :P I go by Princess Minako on AnimeGalleries.net

I hope i'm the first to comment... it looks quite beautiful. the sunset background is what caught my attention and i love skies, especially sunset ones. the bg is well treated and is, again, beautiful. it fits the scan pretty well, though i would have liked the wall as a whole to be just a tad darker and have a more vibrance orange overtone. but it looks quite nice as is. =D

Nice wallpaper. She fits in with the scene very well and it's a fairly well executed idea. I think you need to re-think the lighting and the shadows in this one. The sun is setting behind the girl, yet she's quite bright compared to the rest of the scene.
The background also looks a bit too photogenic. Make good use of that smudge tool to give the background a more painted look.
Good work so far though!

Great Wallpaper. Love the entire sunset theme and concept. The scan really fits in nicely with the background ^^ I really like the clouds and water reflection great work! Onething though as umboody stated, I would re-think the lighting on the scan cause she looks a tad bright for the scene.
Otherwise its a great wallpaper ^^
Hope to see more from you!

I love the sunset! It suits the girl very much. Great job on the reflection too~ The clouds look so real yet 'anime-tic' xD

Really good work with the sunset: it looks pretty natural with your photo background. The girl's colors also mesh well with what's behind her. Very pretty!
