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.
My lack of attention span to do something for more than a couple of hours is bad, I tend to go off and do something else. So, that is why this wallpaper took me some time and I wanted to make sure it looks really good. XD Well anyway, on that note, here is a bright wallpaper all vectored by me. 100% Vectored just for clarifications. ;)
The original scan can be found here at AP. I did change a bit from the original scan to my liking, so it is not the 100% look of the original picture.
As for the background, all of the shapes is what you can find in the show. Arg, it took forever trying to figure out what shape I was going to use and how I was going to place the shapes, other than that it was pretty easy to make. At first I was going to make it all fit together perfectly, but I thought of a better idea. The reason why it doesn't fit in perfectly was because that Sora is still learning and trying to become better. Somewhere around those terms. ;) lol My description is lacking right now.
I titled it under pressure because she is under pressure. Under pressure on being the leader of the Kaleido Star, having to shine more brightly because she managed to do the feat with Layla, etc.
I did a lot of feathering and transparency. I, also, did some masking and I used the glow effect. That is it for the all the other special effects.
Anyway, hope you like it. Going to stop talking now because I can't describe anything and my sentence structure is getting horrible.
They say to make your own breaks, but i'm not sure

A very well done wallpaper! I really like the sharpness of the foreground and the nice bluryness of the background. The coloring is pretty too. Good work.
Very, very nice ^^
i just love the background you made and the overall fantasy-feeling...
and i must say, great job with vectoring!!
goes to favs for sure! ^^
The size is strange somehow.
the vector looks fantastic, my vectors doesn't look that pretty. i especially like the wings of it, it has a soft feathered look to it. *think* did you vectored the background, too? i like the forms of it and they way they fit together. ^^ *fav*
Beautiful.. very beautiful.. ^_^
i like it.. though it seems she's rather sad and lonely.. an angel that is underpressure?!
my... come to me and i'll make you happy.. ^_^
anyhow.. the background is very beautifully made.. ^_^
Great Job! ^_^

Hehe, the vectoring is excellent though it kinda looks like you retraced/re-made the whole thing. XD I'm guessing you did that in Macromedia flash but it doesn't matter. It looks fantastic! (except the back of Sora's hair. Some of the lines are a bit too thick, so it doesn't "flow" that well with the rest of the lines). I especially like the background. Simple shapes yet interesting design. Good work! ^_^
Pretty interesting wallpaper ^^ I like the background, there's a lot in it but it doesn't seem crowded at all. Nice choice of colours as well ^^ Like the little stars and the big ones too ;P Nice job~! ^^b
YAY! Someone finally made a wallpaper featuring Kaleido Star! It's been a while ^^. I never even knew it was here when I went to that section. I love this image, but the background isn't surprising me much, nor the colors on the background, or the way the background is. It looks a bit too much for me. Maybe if the background was a different color and the text color was different then the color of the decoration or something maybe it would of been really nice. But yet I still love what you did, it's like I love it and don't love it. I think it just puts a twist to my mind xD. You still did an amazing job and I applaud you. Thank you for making a Kaleido Star wallpaper ^^.
Great Support on Kaleido Star
