I recently got the urge to make a new wallpaper after a dry spell of about 7 months. After watching Onegai Teacher again and browsing through the gallery here at AnimePaper, I got the idea to do this wallpaper. I wanted the main image to look smooth, but not through blurring, so I decided to vector it. The whole thing was done in Photoshop, using the pen tool 98% of the time (I know that's not true vector graphics, but the outcome is basically the same, right?).

After becoming frustrated with the background, I posted what I had on Session Zero, and received a lot of helpful advice there. So, I'd like to give a big thanks to everyone who commented!
