My very first wallpaper submitted to AP~~~The last one was rejected due to "Upload Error", so I am trying again...
I got my inspiration after seeing a collage based on the Avalon story...I wanted to re-create that misty and mystical feel of Avalon, while placing focus on the main character (Shana, in this case)...
After receiving much helpful comments in session zero (http://www.animepaper.net/forums/Session-Zero/61974), I made some improvements to my wall, namely I added more colors to the image (as opposed to all RED), and reduced some of the mists since some claimed that to be a bit too much...
Here's the scan where my character is from:
http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Shakugan-No-Shana/item144234/
so my thanks goes to "eden13600" for uploading the scan as well~~~^^
However, I must say that I do prefer the original, all-red shana, so I have uploaded that version as well, for anyone who's interested...

As for the longitude of the project...well...I have been working on a few projects simultaneously, and since I started this wall quite a well back, I really have no idea how long I took to complete this...10-12hrs maybe?
As someone had pointed out, the sky in my wall is a bit too realistic (since I did use a real night-sky shot instead of rendering it in PS), and that it takes away some of the surreal overtone of the image itself...I don't know...what do you guys think? Should I make a more surreal and magical sky? or does the spat of realism work well with the image? (which I personally believe it does...)
Resolution: 1440x900

Hope you guys like it!
PS. Please comment~~~~
