When I wandered on the net,for some good SLAMSUNK pics,I occasionally met this ,I guess it is a scan,though it's of a small wall's size,800*600,the quality is not good and the size too small for a desktop,but Rukawa looks so pretty,so I decided to make a wall out of this.
See the scan Rukawa
The main element,Rukawa ,is not difficult to vector,his lines are clear enough,color are not hard to manage,either,however,the sea looked a bit too empty when I drew it according to the original scan(for a small size,the peaceful water looks Okay,but when made in to a wall of 2048*1536,you can see nothing but a large body of blue color!),the water just seemed too static,too silent,though it's a peaceful view of sea,so I gave the sea water some light effects,which made it more like sea,I think.And the trees on the bank,as you all can see,they're not like the trees and houses on the original scan,I tried to vector these trees and houses on the scan but after 2 attemts I found it to difficult to make out the details because the scan so so small,I painting skill is very poor,in the end,I used trees in another scan ,adjusted it to the right angle,I think it looks ...though not that good,but passes muster.
Time:totally around 13hours.
Layer:Rukawa(vector)28,sea(10),bridge(15),trees(4),hill(3),sky(10),bank(7)
