Oh wow... sure took me long to finish this vector! But I love Asuka-chan expressions, and of course the whole situation on the original scans, thus leading me to vector this scans instead. Anyways, for those who didn't know.. the girl is Hina Asuka, from Memories OFF #5: The Unfinished Film (she also re-appear in the sequel game, Memories OFF #5: Encore). I've never play the game, but because of her older brother (the one in the background) I've come to know the games and characters (and just 3 month ago, I finally had the chance to watch the OVA). So, what's so special about her older brother? Because Sakurai Takahiro voice Hina Yusuke! :nya: And Yusuke theme song, "I Wish..." is my most favorite Sakurai songs. So, yeah.. that's why ^_^'
Anyways, the original scans had half of her hair cut off.. so I had no choice but to add them. Well, luckily Asuka-chan hair is pretty long.. so all I have to do is dragged it until the bottom of the scans. Just one problem though... her hair wasn't supposed to be THAT long. Ehehehe... I'm too lazy to repair it again, so I leave it just like that.
For the coloring, I decided to use the original styles. A lot of smudges was used for it, and honestly... I almost went crazy. But they went well >_< So, me happy again! And yeah, sorry if her tears look strange. I did my best, but I still couldn't do it right ^_^'
About Wallpaper:
Layer's: 30
Time: 8 hours
Background Reference: I forgot where I got it!
In my original idea, I just want to made a beach/sunset theme. Actually, I already did. I use one of the scene in the OVA, and vector them. But somehow, after I've finished... I don't like it very much. I like the theme, but... it's too simple, so I decided to try something else. Saw the window scans in my folder, and I decided to use that instead. But since I still like the original theme, I put the sunset behind that. And of course, Yusuke silhouette. Jaaaannn!! That's more like it!
Now to the question why "Eien no Wakare", Asuka-chan crying and Yusuke silhouette. "Eien no Wakare" means Eternal Parting, which explains why Asuka-chan crying, coz her elder brother, Yusuke, died. And that pendant symbolize their close relationship. Yusuke was the one who gives her that pendant (he made it himself using surf clam), as a protective charm :(
