Wow, I finally finished!
This wallpaper took me... epic amounts of time to finish *rubs blood shot eyes*. I would guess around 35-40 hours maybe more and a gazillion layers. The whole thing is vectored and shaded by brush. I used big fuzzy brushes, gradients, burn, dodge, smudge, you name it to do about 99% of the shading, it was suppose to end up with a nice soft CG like feel... but I think I failed.

I kept the backgrounds somewhat true to the scan but changed the colors a bit. On the winter side I added snow, snowflakes, some dust and the Christmas town which was very difficult to vector since in the scan it was a big messy blur that made no sense to me. On the Halloween side I went with a purple tone since it suited it better than the original blue. I added bats, stars and a bit of fog. I put in a couple tombstones and a little hill, fence and a hand trying to crawl out!

I wanted the wallpaper to have a double theme but also be able to show a smooth transition from Halloween to Christmas. My only regret here is that Sora wasn't wearing his cute Santa Suit. Hmm my favorite part is probably the little hill and the moon, it's just so cute. XD
Oh and the original vector was 4000px wide so I had to shrink that down to 2560px. T_T
