here's another wallpaper I've had in the works, let sit for far too long, and finally decided to finish ^_^; This one's from a little known anime called Galaxy Fraulein Yuna. The anime is very cheerful and funny yet also kind of poignant and angsty in some places. The scan I used is pretty much a collage from the first story, which was titled "Sorrowful Selene" (Selene is the one with the dark purple hair btw). The story for that was basically that Yuna & her sidekick Yuri (the one with red hair) are lured away saving a little puppy named Taro-chan (seen in the front) while someone imitates her and destroys the city, then Serene is assigned to arrest her, but it turns out no one in the city actually died because they were all out helping Yuna save Taro-chan at the time ^_^; (so of course, Yuna is exonerated of all charges in the end ^^). It was really fun to watch, and did a good job of cheering me up and making me laugh at the time. The second story arch's more serious though, the ending is really kinda sad and tragic, but still very much worth watching.

Anyway, for making the wallpaper, I used 7 stock photos, 1 scan, lots of blending work, and a bunch of brushing and touch-up work at the end. I was going for a kind of high energy vibe with the color scheme, to match the mood of the scan I used. The map and sort of quazi-techno elements were mostly used to show an element of adventure and activity. Hope you end up liking the result, please feel free to tell me what you think :)

p.s. Oh, and here's the 1920x1080 version if you need it:
