A Kaleido Star is Born

Tool: Photoshop CS2.
Anime: Kaleido Star.
Time Spent: One Night >.< **fell in sleep**
Layers: 35+ & some Layer groups.

I didnt seen this anime but, i think its cool, i founded this awesome scan and i fixed some details in it, and other minor problems. Ill adapted the color for my bg. In this wall im trying to inmerse a different concept, with my favorite style... The Simple.

Background Process:

First, with a white bg, with nothing, i started to do the star (centered) with the path tool.


And then i added some color/effects/ and a little texture and some reflections... This is the result.


Now added a tribal (Brush with a little modification by me) in the right side (I decided not to put another from the left cuz looks so saturated).


Now put the colors for the BG (I trying differents colors but this one match for me and for my work) and added some reflections.


Added clouds, some stars and a lines, looks like a sunshine but its not!


The only BG


And finally, seeing where i can put the scan, i decided in the middle, with the star. To center the attention in her.


Si the final result is! this wall that you are seeing ^^

Simple Star with white background:
