I've been really enjoying Victorian Romance Emma, because I'm a girl and fluffy shoujo romance with historial settings is always a way to keep me interested. Of course, once I start loving a series I start making wallpapers! I found this scan off of someone's livejournal; originally from Animage June/05, the scene was taken straight out of Episode 7, "Crystal Palace." I loved the romantic night setting, plus the fact it's in the Crystal Palace!
I redrew the background from scratch, partially tracing the original structure of the Crystal Palace, and adding in my own stuff. Instead of the shadowy palm trees in the background, I used some of Illustrator's tree symbols, sufficiently darkened and placed at appropriate intervals, to break up the monotonous Palace structure. Stars were made with a simple set of brushes. I added some soft translucency to the palace structure so it looked like there was glass between the wall and the sky. No moon; the light source is behind the viewer, so the moon would have been wholly inappropriate.
After I redrew the background I realized the characters were far too pale and washed out for the night scene, so I liberally darkened them to fit.
Text done in Photoshop using some of Photoshop's preinstalled fancy smancy shapes. "Crystal Hearts" was the title because they're in the Crystal Palace, and well, they're in love :D

Thank you so much for not adding a moon - I think the scene looks romantically enough with the Crystal Palace and the starky sky. I saw some pictures of that glass palace in my history textbook (if I remeber probably) - I do not watch Emma so I don't know if this place is authentic. But that's not important xD I love that wallpaper for its romantic setting and the well done concept.
This is almost to wonderful a wallpaper. VRE is my favorite anime of this season (I get giddy, I kid you not! Giddy!) I noticed the thin delicate lines on the glass dome. Is this a scan or someones vector, I'm leaning on vector because the lines are so nice and even. So lovely +fav!

I really like how it catches the sweetness of the series, as well as a nice spread of colors for a desktop. Good resolution size, as well. It is hard to find wallpapers at this resolution at other sites.
OH yes. It's so cute.
A great romantic moment. I love this animated but this relation and chara design is really lovely. I want an other wallpaper. Lol!
Kyaaahhh!! It's my first time seing a wall of VREmma and God knows how much I like it, especially the manga XD XD XD XD
Thanks for this wall ;)
You really did an awsome work of reconstruction, it's great.
A great wallpaper, it captures the moment perfectly. it looks like you took your time and it payed off. this is one of my favorite anime and now my current wallpaper.
Very good job for this victorian romantic wallpaper! ^^
However, I would have preferred darker colors for the characters, so we can feel more the lack of light (except from the stars).
