First of all, I want mention that the 1920x1080 (16:9) is the main resolution for this wallpaper and all of the 16:10 are cropped versions of it.

My main goal for this wallpaper was to try out some of the things I saw in Nysha's tutorials – mainly doing the eyes. Although I picked out the scan before looking at the tutorials I think it was a perfect match for what I wanted to try out.

I vectored the scan and used a soft brush for the shading. The whole grass background, flowers, butterflies, and the dog are all painted.

Hardest Part: Making the grass look natural
Easiest Part: Vectoring
Funnest Part: Working on the eyes
Frustrating Part: Starting all over again on the grass many times T.T

The scan used:

Special thanks to Nysha for helping a whole lot during the whole process of me making this wallpaper and special thanks to GoldenApe and Dalarty for their help during the finishing touches step of the process.
