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.
Make sure to full view this one. The thumbnail does not do it any kind of justice.
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
Boring info:
Time: ~15 hours over the span of 6 weeks
Music: I don't know x.x
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...
I was really taken back by this wall, mostly because I too, also love the clean cut almost cartoony feel of having black outlines, yet with the use of the stock imagery and the brushes you've used, it just really highlights small little areas, and I feel its one of those images that everytime I take a proper look at it I'm going to find something new (which is great, like reading a good book or watching a good film).
I love the vectors, you're really good at it, perhaps a talent ^_^ but i think what i love most about this, is the first impression of being simple and colourful, something that attracts your eye and looks gorgeous, and then as you delve deeper to really surround yourself in that, you start noticing these perfected little details, which is just really nice. I think that even if it only took 15 hours (well thats a really long time in my world haha) it seems perfectly executed and well thought of. Pretty ^_^
At first, i think that the arrows are too sharp for the base image (the scan), but later i realize that the distinct form it, deliver a balance to the wallpaper. nice idea to put the sky into it, i like it!
