Oh hai there!
Happy bday to Hayashi! And Happy bday too all whose bdays I missed: Oriana, Sheq and Amy.
Finally done. This is a old project, I started working on Kobato since before my Kaname wall. I had her done but I didn't felt like working on the bg *damnrockscough* but since I decided a while ago to finish my wips and since the vector was already done it would have been a shame to drop it.
Here's the Original scan I used:
Kobato[/img]
I changed her hat thing since I didn't quite liked it. I wasn't sure of what to put in her hand besides that grass thing, I thought of banana choco like those they have at japanese festivals or a mask, but it didn't looked natural at all o.o so I left the ugly grass thing xD
The patterns used are by Gimei at deviantart. Kobato has 98 layers, Inorogi 25 and the grass plus box 13. I used my tablet to paint Inorogi and the box, I'm not pleased with the box but I didn't wanted to re-do it since I worked over it in the wall >_<
I used some of the stones in the scan for reconstruction and the rest are done by myself --->small ones, I wanted to make them big and I ended up making them small xD ans slammed some texture over it and some shadows. The grass is combination of brushes see process, I think it looks alright.
At first I tried a dark sky, I wanted to have fireworks, but after I was done I didn't liked it, it was way too dark and didn't quite go well with the rest. By making it lighter the fireworks won't be looking good. So in the end I decided for something lighter, my blue sky sucked, and I so fail at making clouds, and I remembered I saw once this beautiful sunset, was looking something like what I got only very beautiful. After painting and blending I got what you see.
I thought I was done but it looked very empty, so I thought maybe add some sakura petals, but since it's about festivals I think balloons are better. So I drew some balloons after taking a good look at some pics on google. Hope they look like balloons xD
And that is all, hope you guys like it and any feedback is appreciated.
Non-balloon ver.
