Hello!
This is my first submission here!
Presenting "So Pure So Free". I kinda fell in love, when I saw this brilliant scan by Oh! Great.
I used soft colors to make the wallpaper, because it transmits a great feeling of peace. The most difficult part was working with the cherry blossoms, I'll hate cherry blossom for some time. I used the burning tool and the dodge tool a lot, to create a certain contrast, between the luminosity and the darker parts.
I painted, the water with green tones, because it looks like she's in a hot spring.
The easiest part was working with her body. Also to help with creating a better atmosphere I used a texture from DA! Desktop Anime
I used a texture for the rock too: first i painted the rock by following some tutorial, then i used the texture, to make it more realistic. For the branches I just mixed up some different brown nuances.

Well Hope you enjoy it! :)
