I love the Art of Leiji Matsumoto... So when LORD DREAM submitted A moment in Time, I started this wallpaper at the same day. ^^ Thanks again, DREAM for all the beautiful scans! They always make me want to make wallpapers... even though I actually wanted to get more experience with drawing on my own. Anyways, I enjoyed making this wallpaper since I put my own interpretation of the girl in the original scan in it.

It may be influenced of watching Fushigi Yuugi (I was browsing through the gallery at MT and saw that kind of flowers in one of the scans).

Anyways I was experimenting a lot with the background again. It's always the most difficult part. I learned how to make my own pattern with this wallpaper... I wanted to have something sharp as a pattern in difference to the softness of the character, flowers and butterflies. I like this softness of Inner and Outer glow...
My choice of colors... As usual I got attracted to black (I simply can't help it)... but to make it look a little more friendly I decided for this lilac/pink background color.

How many layers? I don't know. Most of the wallpaper was made in Adobe Illustrator. I only used Photoshop for the pattern. I had to lower the quality a bit in order to avoid a file bigger than 1MB. >_<

Oh well I hope you won't find this too idyllic, kitchy etc. Some people most certainly will... but I always like to try new things, new looks!
