Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!
The moment i saw this wall in the queue, i knew it had to be featured. Why? just LOOK at it! i've seen this scan used a million times. But never in such a unique way as this. First of all it's vectored. But not only is it vectored, it's given a pop-art mixed with a beautiful scenic piece as well. The colors and overall feel of the wall just make you feel so light and fluffy. The only problem is there is so much to look at, it might not be as desktop friendly as some, but as a design piece it's just stunning.

Copy and pasted from MT. Weird resolution approved by +Kalico. thanks Kalico ^^
YEAH! I'm back on MT! School is finally OVER!
For those who saw my previous vector, yes, this is another freakin CLAMP vector. I just love vectoring CLAMP stuff ^^
I really loved this scan when I saw it. But after I finished with it, I hated it with a passion. grr...
Anyways, I first started off vectoring the image but halfway through it, I realized how much the sleeves of her robe look like wings. I wanted to paint a cloud scene on it but after many failed attempts, I decided to use a stock instead. For the stock, I filtered it to give it more of a drawn look. Then I experimented with two different smudge settings to give it that 'painted' feel.
EDIT: Ahh almost forgot my favourite part of the wall-the space scene xD. I was going to start off with a simple space scene to fill in for that dark space but it kinda got out of hand =P Somehow, birds ended up flying in space o.0 (upper left corner of the robe). The other set of birds are near the bottom and I tried to make the birds look like their flying upwards.
The background with all the vecotrs and arrows and stuff were inspired by many of his older works when he used the vector brushes. The brushes are from Paul W
I'm too lazy to write anymore but I'll try to answer my 500+ notifs soon x.x I promise to submit a real wall next time xD

Inspiration: Devil Dude He's been such a huge inspiration ever since I saw his works on MT. His walls have style, cute anime girls, ecchi(for the perverts =P), simplicity, and other good stuff. Anything other than cliche. What more could you want? Please go check out his gallery. If you don't I'll hunt you down and...and...I don't know. Just something horrible.

A perfectly executed wall with a beautiful space scene. It deserves way more than 16 favs...
This wall is amazingly beautiful. The vector looks fantastic and the cloud effects and textures on her robe are incredibly detailed. Excellent design and instant fave. Take care.
Awesome work. I love it how you changed Sakuras Dress with the clouds.
The background works perfect with the scan and give the hole wall a wonderful feeling.
Wonderful work. Great detail on the vector and lovely use of vectors and effects. Worthy of the hilighted spot and more than worthy of my favourite! Great stuff!
Wow this is the best wall using this image I've ever seen. I love what you did with the clouds and how you put them on her wings or robe, I can't tell what it is. Great job! +Fav
Im thinking this wallpaper is the best one using TRC scans since "passions of fire"
the colors are all nice, this wallpaper really is a treat for the eyes
superb job vectoring and the circle/arrow designs are crazy... nice and clean also
this wallpaper would destroy any attention i have if it were on my desktop, great job! =_=
Wow, i mean...WOW!
This is a beutiful vector the way you colored Sakura's dress is pure genius
BTW, I would have called it "Sora Iro Dreams" (sky colored dreams ^^)
Anyway, some lines of the dress looks pixelated, I think you like to fix that (should be easy work)

OMG!! I think this is the most beautifulist wall of Sakura ever!! I mean I have to admit I've seen the same scan over a million times and finally someone actually took a creative illustration of it! Congrates on the highlight you diserve it.....and not to mention the sky you added to her clothes really made it look like she was flying! You did a awesome job I have to add to my Favz, anyway keep up your great styles! ^_^

Beautiful job! It's an inspiration to all of us who vector. The clouds in her sleeves is a clever idea that really revolutionizes the wall. The only space I see for improvement is some of the lines are a bit jagged.
Simply amazing. I love the style on the render and I've been wanting to do that with a render for a long time... if only my illustrator worked =(. Keep up the excellent work. +fav
