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...
I really like the concept of the wall... it's something you really don't see everyday...
the wall gives a soothing feeling... makes you calm...
the colour is great.
but the vector job is not very good... CLAMP may have drew the lines not smoothly, but you could always make it more smooth...
What can i say of this picture? ^^
AMAZING!! REALLY GOOD AND WELL DONE *-*/
I'm not a Tsubasa C. lover...
And i really saw that image in another walls... but...
Is sooo colorful and beautiful *-*
Really a great work... Art Piece for sure... and..
OBVIOUSLY, FAV 4 SURE ^^b
Omg! That's amazing! I love everything about this! The real clouds in the back of the backround really adds to the overall feel and look of the wallpaper. A definate favorite! ^__^
Tsubasa has always been my favorite, and you did a great job on this wallpaper! Great choice of background: it fits in really well with the rest of the colors you used. This is my favorite so far! (even though this is the first I've seen and reviewed... :P)
Wow, this is great! I especially love the gradienty effect for the ribbon and the bird. I also totally love the sky motif, especially the night sky filled with real life-like stars, but at the same time it brings me into a fantastical world. Great job!

Wow. Just wow. This wallpaper just took my breath away. You've done an outstanding job on this wallpaper. The texture, the organization, the vectoring, it's all just wonderful. What I really like is this design on sakura's dress. The blending like structure on her dress was a creative design. The colours and the whole perspective is just great. Taking a realistic like image and inserting it into a great cg was also a wonderful idea.
All in all, you've done some beautiful artwork. It's been a while that I have anything like this before. Keep up the outstanding work. I hope to see more of this beautiful wallpaper.
Wow! another highlighted wallpaper, which is really awesomely done! Congratulations. Even though this wallpaper does look busy, it is exactly this, what makes the wallpaper so great. I really love the space and the birds there and of course the clouds and the vector itself. I also like the nice "vector tracing style" you have =D

" Beaten upon by the wailing rain
I’ll moisten your dry heart
My useless pride will
cry bitterly, that’s right, even if I hurt you
Because I’ll shout loudly on the night of atonement
Please reach out your hand. . ."
no point in me going into detail as i think Kalico has basically summed it up
well done
great work
