[ Dancing; Twirling; Falling ]

Another School Rumble wallpaper. After my first one, my interest in vectoring went up again. I decided to vector something more challenging, and so I chose this frame in the SR OP.

For the last wall, some asked, 'Why Tenma?' I've gotta say... WHY NOT TENMA? Tenma IS, after all, the main character! XD She's also really cute.

The vectoring took quite a long time. I had trouble with the hair (damn, her hair goes crazy when she twirls) and the bag. The bag was actually the hardest part, since it was cut off in the frame... I redrew it as well as I could, but it's still pretty crappy. If you're a hardcore fan, you'll notice that the bag is missing some details... but, well, too much details on the bag will draw attention away from Tenma, right? <_<

After I vectored it, I brought it into Photoshop and tried to think of a background. After a while, I decided to just go with the scene in the OP, where she is twirling around with her bag in the middle of the road (dangerous!)... After I had finished doing the road and sidewalk, the whole thing looked pretty dull. Everything was grey and grungey, which was far from what School Rumble is all about. I decided to make it more lively... so I added snow and light!

The most challenging thing doing the wallpaper was probably the snow. I never had experience doing snow at ALL, but at this angle, it was frustrating. I tried all kinds of things, and finally, I guess it looks acceptable now.

Other minor details include footprints... and pawprints too. XD
