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!

~Books are like a mirror...~
Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer 1788-1860, German Philosopher
Hiii..lol..So this wall I dedicate again to this amazing anime ~Eureka Seven~ and my friends (now two, coz I showed it to my other friend and now we all watch it together..^^ )
So, I started this wall a while ago, I think right after my first one got eccepted, I was soo happy..lol..so yeah, anyways..I did the Vector first here it is: ...
and after that I took my time with the bg. I know the bg looks easy and doesn't really have sense, but for me it was kind of difficult, maybe coz I didn't have inspiration or something..I don't know.
The scan was found here, on AP..and I wanna say thanks to ^nat for submiting this scan. Here is the link: Eureka Seven: Anemone
It wasn't that complicated wall when I compared to other once here, it was only 20 layers. It took me about 3 hours and I was done. So I guess it took motre of my "working" imagination then of time actually completing it. Especially it was hard for me to think of the name. I was going to name it ~Quoting~, but then thought it was too stupid, after that I was concidering to name it just ~Anemone~, and I thought it wasn't it. So by the end I figured a name: ~Books are like a Mirror~. It's a quote by Arthur Schopenhauer, who was born on "February 22", 1788 and "died of natural causes" on "September 21, 1860 at age 72", and also was a German Philosopher. Interesting biography about Arthur Schopenhauer you can find [here]. Used: ~ Photoshop CS2 & Illustrator CS2 ~ Vector brushes:

Really a good wallpaper. Your vector is really good (two thumbs up) :-)
I like the way you gave a retro aspect to the whole and the blending with the background is perfect.
You put the vector on your description; does it mean we can use it to do a wallpaper with ?
Anyway, good job & fav.
First off, the vector looks great. Comparing it with the original image, your work is flawless. Secondly, the abstract look really well, as it fits as a overall background. With different kinds of flower brushes, cloud and star brushes, it matches the idea of a 'girl' theme.
I love the font type used for the heading. Reminds me of the 1900s newspaper headings
*Two Thumbs up*

Very well done on the background of the wall ^^ It looks awesome ;D The vector is really nice and blends nicely into the background. Love the brush work ;D The layout is pretty cool as well! Nicely done! ^^b
Yeah it got accepted! I love the brush work here! I like the brown and white combination and the text is perfectly used! I love the composition makin it look grunge and I like the text used for Eureka 7 logo! Very nice work! Love how the scan fits! Instant favorite! Hope to see more walls from you!
It's a shame that part of Anemone's foot is cut off, but the wall is great otherwise. Lovely colors and textures. More resolutions would be nice. Great job!
OJOJO! Anemone Swan! The Effect like flowers gives her the indicate effect According the story. But the colors are so sad, I think taht you tried to express the anemone's pain . Ah forget that o.OU
