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

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.

SAKURA!! I love Sakura, thank you Clamp created this character xD This wall is in widescreen size. I wonder i can resize it for my low-res supported, non-widescreen 17" monitor. :D
Beyond controversy,it is undoubtedly a fantastic vector art!
I likethe outline ,it is so smooth and none of all places is jagged!The color is good ,too ,this blue is not so bright, and not so frsh ,but it gives a feeling of elegance.
I reli admire you for the job on herhair!The details are demanding!
Wow, great use of different patterns and textures in the dress! Some of the outlines look a little jagged here and there, mostly in the bottom left part. But other than that, great and unique use of bright colors and desings. This wallpaper really does stand out from the rest.
OMG! damn THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! JSUT HOW THE HELL DID you DO THIS ONE! AMAZING!! BREATHTAKING! ABSOLUTLEY AWE-INSPIRING!!! GREAT WORK ON ALL OF THIS!! Love how you masked the body to see through and love all those ribbons and strings! Instant Favorite! Great work!

Wow! This wallpaper is beyound awesome. I'm glad you vectored it as well because you were able to enhance the image a lot. And it makes it really attractive. The colours are brilliant. Great job!
Amazing job, i love the mix in of the sky with sakura's clothes, the vectoring is also done really well and good choice of colors for the arrows and such
That is one fantastic way to use the stock photo!! It is crisp and clean and interesting all the way around! I'll give your props on this one. Great work!
WOW...I understand why this was featured, i mean...who WUOLDNT feature this? Gosh i dont even know where to start...well first off I wanna say that this is so gorgeous, a really detailed and breautiful piece, i LOVE how you incorporated the sky into there. I believe the scan used to be traditional media? You turned it into a lovely modern vectored wallpaper, which is amazing. All the hard work really paid off, id use this for my desktop anyday. This is a definate fav for me.
