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

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...
Wow! this wall is great! i love how you had envisioned this wall to be. With the vectoring and the use of pop art it really came up great together. I really love the colors that you used though. The colors are exemplary and they exhibit a sense of surrealism, in my insight anyways. Great job!

Wow, this is beautiful. I haven't actually seen this picture used before . . . and now that I've seen your wallpaper I don't ever want to see it used again so I can preserve the lovely image in my head. The whole sky/robe thing is VERY clever, well done! *favouritizes*
Uhh.... I'm left speechless. That is simply... beautiful. The arrows and circles background is a great offset to the sky image in the skirts, and... wow. Way awesome, I wish I had more thumbs-up to give!

U really vectored this, man?! ooo, unbelievable! the vector looks juz plain beautiful, and the stock you use for the clouds is a nice addition to it... nice mix of colors to the wallpaper, not to mention it is widescreen as well! this scan is juz gorgeous, i'm juz waiting for someone to actually make a good wallpaper out of it, and you did it.
man, i should learn how you blend in the colors in a vector. it really looks as if you put in a lot of effort (well, maybe you did!) at first, when i see this, i juz think that "hey, it's juz too colorful and it's quite jumbled up!"... yet after i've seen the full version, then i realized how beautiful it really is... you made me fool there!
Definite FAV! Almightyly awesome FAV! (hehehe, don't bother the superlatives, i just can't think of any at the moment!) Thanks for sharing it, man! and i hope to see more of your work soon! Keep it up!

I don't even like TRC, but I can't help finding this wall absolutely breathtaking. The colors, the elegance, the overall gracefulness... it's amazing, jut amazing.
Beautiful idea of layering the sky into the wallpaper
it is true that there is alot to look at, making it a bit too hectic for a desktop, but other than that, it is a beautiful piece and an original idea.
Weird resolution? Oh well, I actually prefer widescreen. The contrast between the warm pink and the cool blue is pretty amazing, and plays nicely with the outlines. A wallpaper that you don't get tired of even after looking at it for hours.
A truly amazing piece of work and definitely a fav!
