This is an unexpected outcome. Why? I originally planed to remake my Jam wallpaper but I dumped the idea in the process because I really didn't like that scan of her. Since I already started taking time painting the sky, I decided to keep it and look for a picture with close colours and shades. I stumbled upon a scan of Sister Princess! It was just perfect but the extraction was a pain in the a** with all her hair.

The whole background (sky, sea, beach, seagulls) and foreground (leaves) are painted with Photoshop CS using various references. I try to improve my painting skills as much as I can... @_@;

Full view = nice details. 2 days works.

P.S.: I know the light and shadows of Sakuya are not coherent with the sunset light source, no need to comment about it. <.<
