I can't believe it's 8:13 am in the morning. I up all night and literally all night just made this wallpaper as soon as I can before 9 am in the morning. I can't believe what I went through just making this x_x I feel so guilty that I just didn't do this wallpaper earlier. There was so many celebrations that I didn't have time at all.

Dedication: My big Sister's 17th B-day! (Shadowskydragon.deviantart.com)
Started: 7/2 - 7/13 (Over 7 days)
Hours: All together was 38hrs. x_x
Layers: About 100+
Credits: The Himiki & Kaon scan & the flower scan
Hardest Part: Background ideas
Easiest Part: Procrasinating (That has nothing to do with the wallpaper except for being lazy. XD)
Note: Never want to stay up all night just to finish a wallpaper again. I've learned my leasson. x_x

This wallpaper is for my (real) big sister (but I won't say her name) Shadowskydragon. Today is her birthday and she was born on Friday the 13th.

Some blah blah blah stuff... - I remember why I did so much work on it was because I needed to make this gift extra special, but the problem was I had no idea. Vectoring/painting the flowers took me 19hrs. OMG! (O_O) Though I don't want to use those flower brushes that kykyopj used for the wallpaper because I'm seeing a lot of people now using them for wallpapers and I'm kind of getting tired of it. :( I had to put so much effort on the vectoring that I didn't know what to do with the background at all. I used very cheap and instant textures from the photoshop, but it made the wallpaper look flat. T_T I'm so sorry I didn't put enough effort on the background. OX

The little door... - If your wondering about the little door there actually I messed up. ^_^'. I couldn't find the exact colors I originally used because I accidentally didn't remember what code # it was so I just made it a door instead. OX This wallpaper is definitely not going to make it into the elite gallery because despite the vectoring the background is just blah! I'm so sorry, I've failed. Though I have no time to make wallpapers anymore until I come back on August 6. Please try to understand why. :(

On Haitus:Another menton is yes, I'm definitely leaving on Monday for a three week vacation. My grandmother bought the tickets already so it's settled. :D I know I'll miss everyone at MT since at my grandmother's house she doesn't have a computer or internet (how does she live like that. (O_O) ). I'll try to work a little, but I'll be barely able to do any work since my grandmother is going to nagg at me.

No need to read this at all... I didn't know my Dad had an Illuatrator CS3 and I was playing with it a little to see how good it was and now... I desperately want one! T_T I mean the outlines were just awesome, they were so frickin straight and it was definitely essential for vector tool just like it said. :o Now I understand why rubenz and entity use it because it doesn't cut the work in half. :D Too bad I don't have a Mac so I couldn't install it. D:

Were you afraid to stay up all night?
I've done that a lot, but never all the way, but this night was different. My sister kind of told me a scary story before she went to bed at 2:30 pm (which I regret listening x_x) After hearing the story I got scared that the shadow figure was gonna kill me. At one part when the morning sun was about to dawn. Everything was suddenly quite until suddenlt I heard a shaking noise from my door. Then I thought about if it was the shadowy figure was coming to kill me and then I almost fainted because I panicked. @~1@

I typed this in the morning so you can see why I'm blabbering away. ^_^' Now this wallpaper will be submitted for the contest at [group=vector-wallers] and [group=mikos-moon-flower]. Sinever allowed me to use it for other contest since I'm going away and I don't have enough time now. Thank you so much big sis! :D

P.S. This wallpaper wasn't originally suppose to be for those contest, but the wallpaper that was is going to take too much time for me that I won't be able to finish it before I leave. :( Darn, Carnelian's art! Though I'll try to get it done somehow despite my grandmother nagging me to get off of the laptop. :sweat:

Edit - I have a textless version of it for a wallpaper. If there's enough people to comment of wanting a textless version then I'll give a link to one. ;)

Edit 2 - I fixed the hands on Kaon thanks to SakuraShirayuki for pointing it out. :) Second I added some sunlight rays to show that their outside and not inside like what my sister said. XD Plus I reversed the emboss and levels on the little bars stucked to the walls. ;) Last is since I'm using a clear screen computer I can tell that the wallpaper is too dark. I saturated the colours more to make it vivid.

OMG! I can't believe for once I actually adjusted my wallpaper. (O_O)

Well I'm off to my next wallpaper which will be submitted for the clynefaction Contest. :D Hope to recognize some familiar faces with their wallpapers. ;)

Edit 3 - Mt last one. Since my sister loves the older version because some laptop views the wallpaper brighter or darker depending on their options so I decided I'll post the older one too, but the hand was fixed and that's all. :D
