Of all the character designs in Gankutsuou, Haydee is by far my most favorite. There's something about her elfin beauty, her shimmering glamorous dresses, and her floral hair that makes me wish I could be her...without all that ugly past. I've been wanting to make a wallpaper with Haydee playing her harp in a Greco-Roman rotunda for ages, and finally found a good image from Gankutsuou Complete. Although I was disappointed at the small size of pictures in the illustration gallery, that's when tracing really shows its potential. I had fun using a lot of images from the official website to pattern Haydee, along with a few floral patterns of my own.
The background is a combination of stock and drawing; the ocean and sky, plus the birds, come from several stock photos, as well as the top of the columns. The rest of the rotunda and the bush were drawn in Photoshop. Textures, well, I love texturing. Too much, probably. Oh well.
