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!
Adobe Suite: $700. Junk food eaten while designing: $57. Hours spent working on a design when you could have been working: $350 dollars. The 10 minutes for someone to tell you you suck: Priceless
LL: (if you are still on) I need to have you making a group annoucement about the card game. Currently very few people are on it. I make the design,but we need set the rules soon as possible.
At last, but not least!! :P I've finally finished my FIRST WALLPAPER! Yeahh! I'm so happy!
It took me a lot of work because at first I have no idea of working with Photoshop. Then I read a few tutorials and practiced using some tools.
I started with the idea of a bright bg, with shiny lights, but then I got stuck with an empty bg. So I added the wings and someone at SZ (mumpo!! :D) told me to try them at the back of the character. And after lot of touching I finally got those beautiful wings! (That’s the thing I like the most of the wall).
Then I went to see some brushes ('cause I hadn't got any :P)... and I thought it could look good adding some swirls. After that I added the petals. I wanted to use petals but I thought I wouldn't be able to put them right ('cause I’m new at this) but I couldn't get them out of my head, so I said to my self... what could I loose?... and ta da! I really got satisfied with the results.
The hardest thing was fixing the scan, because it wasn’t in good conditions (take a look at the toys, her tie and skirt, and others… Touches made mostly using the brush tool, kind of an artisan work :P. You can see the scan here… http://img480.imageshack.us/img480/7283/scanstoheartlalalaaki6.jpg
I want to thanks to all who had posted at SZ...
Special thanks to:
_OtakuGaijin.. for helping me with the text (I had no idea where to place it :P) and the extraction (I didn't realize I had to use the tool with 1/0.5 pixel... that's the reason why I was extracting so bad lol)
_mumpo... for being there guiding me with great advices!. Btw I wouldn't have putted the wings in her back if it wasn't for your advice, yeah, your idea! Thanks!
