Originally uploaded and rejected thanks to my reluctance of unveilling the original artist name ( i kinda preffer using unknown coz i feel kinda personal about it )

I finished re installing my zip drive and in one of the disks i found this picture, along with my very old wallpaper stuff, that i made when i first learning photoshop.

A very old stuff that i wished i could redraw back then.

I now have the skills to redraw it.

Originally created by Solo girl, a friend of mine, back in early 1999, just when i about to leave to Canada.

She used stylus to make the scenery of the girl walking on water holding a piece of cloth.

( actually our very first time seeing a stylus lolz )

The original art was about 500px wide and 800 px height.

The original thingy was once entered for some amateur digital art contest, and as i recall she won as the runner up.

I took it from there and set out to make a landscape version of the original wallpaper.

The right part of the screen, half of it were drawn manually using brush tool.

The sky, is mostly drawn using brush some part of it was copy pasted.

The city was mostly copy / pasted, and redrawn , given some effects to improve the overall focus of the screen.

The mountain is completely redrawn. on the right side.

The whole picture then was touched a bit to remove artifacts due to resize.

I intended to use artsy font on it, but i decided later on to use a clean modern font as it is easier to read.

I dunno where Solo girl is now, but i'm sure misses her alot.

Oh well, perhaps this one done by her for me as a farewell gift, well i never knew the truth.

But now it is recreated in memory of her.

Thank you
