This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.
Lol Really? Wow You always seem to Surprise me tide-kun. Well hey im going to get some food and think about the nickname i'll make for you *Huggles* Take care Buddy Bai Bai =]
Well...I decided since last time that I was going to be away from wallpapers for awhile, I couldnt resist doing this wall based on a pure classic "Castle In The Sky". The name "Fly Away Home" was based on a movie. I had this sudden urge to have something flying in the sky with the golden setting of the sun and the earth beneath them. I was so excited to do this I started immediately. This took about 2 days. Dont let the quality decieve you (even though the scan was a bit messed, Im not good fixing things up all that well :P). With alot of patients and music like Creed - My Sacrifice and so many more (about 50 I listened to all night). I finally got this going. Perspective is a pain I know but I did alot of photo manipulation and levels of color to give the Earth some farmland population (being that I love peaceful areas). Then I started to add in roads and a bridge just on the horizon. I added a city plus a far distance one at the tip and having the buildings windows shine creating the reflection. I also added the river using a chalk brush quickly giving it instances of crevises and then adding reflection of light to the ripples in some areas of the river. As for the clouds. Very simple very whispy to give it that perfect mood towards the sky. If I did cotton clouds it wouldnt look all so nice with the sun glaring and how short the sky is (More land then sky). Overal this really made me proud getting it to work. Even giving the scan some glare as well...appologies for the quality of it again. Though even that I had to try and fix it because to me this scan just...fits. As for now I got a few new clients for my buisness! HOORAY lol hopefully I get around $100-120 on it because Ive made that a few times XD. Anyway! Take it easy guys enjoy the wall.

You've been coming out with one after another lately XD. Amazing work I've been seeing. You've improved so much since I saw your first wallpaper here. I love your peaceful style and love for the romantic sunrises and sunsets. This is definately an eye sore and gorgeous to boot. I love sky walls since I find good ones rather rare. Perspective truly is a pain so I try to avoid it if I can. I admire you for going into a lot of areas that take some hard earned practice. Keep up the awesome work. You do need a break XP. Don't need to turn into a walling whore :P LOL. Get a little bit of life in you ;). Until next time.
It really makes me feel like I'm flying! I just watched that movie actually. It was amazing! Great Job on this. The sky is really beautiful. Great Job keep it up!
Nicely done...very romantic wall. it's a pity tat my resolution cant support it...and it looks slightly dark on my desktop. sigh...or tis would immediately b my desktop. nice work
It does give a very textile feeling that is for sure, the plane and the birds just look like as if you can touch them with your hands. The wonder of it all lies with the creation and lights effects on the whole wallpaper itself, and coming from one such as you, I say you pretty much managed to capture the whole idea overall of the wallpaper. The wall is still kinda dark since it is facing against the sunset, but the feeling and the atmosphere presented is worthy of praise.
Nice. The perspective is very dramatic, and suits the chara scan beautifully. The stream seems to tilt up and change color near the horizon though, which looks a bit strange.
Good job. My only suggestions would be to lighten Pazu and Sheeta up a bit since they are higher. If you want to add a few more clouds add them as low lying clouds across the landscape or change the upper level clouds to the high cirrus kind so that the sunset coloration will roll across the sky.
Well I'm giving you Kudos just for making the first Laputa wallie, first of all. And then, it's even widescreen! I like the background scenery, the gulls (?) are adorable. My only complaint: it does seem a bit dark to me. Other than that, great job! Keep it up.
You did really nice! The sunset give it that warm and fuzzy feeling and I like how there flying slanted but in my opinion the corner where their at is really dark but thats just me. I really love this movie and you did a wonderful job!
