While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Therefore, to polish my rusted skills I started with a simple wallpaper (if you can call that simple anyway eh) on one of my favourite anime series, Futakoi Alternative. Actually this wallpaper was ready to be submitted a week ago, but wildarmsheero beat me on time and submitted his wallpaper with the same scan, so I waited a bit to submit this one, hehe.
I vectored both girls and left Rentaro out because I wanted to create some icon space in the middle and on the top right corner. I kept the same concept the original scan had, having them laying on a grass field/lawn, done with the sole use of the smudge tool and by adding two slight textures (one from imageafter.com and the other from Tama-neko's website) to give it a bit of dirty look as well. Then I drew flowers and butterflies and that's it.
So yeah, it's quite simple. Expect to see more complex and elaborated wallpapers in the near future though, my mind has collected quite a fair amount of ideas during this little "hiatus", hehe.
More resolutions will be available at FRAGMENTS in the next updates!
[Edit] I've brightened the characters so that now they blend more with whole background.

How I wish I could lie down on grass like that. damn allergies... *bawl*
We have rice balls.
And takoyaki, too!
I'm not sure if the flowers and the vectors mix well together, though... don't really know why, again. But it's a fact all the white flowers look the same, other than the shading, and that's a nuisance. Some variation would be desirable, IMHO - not just in size and angle, like Nuniko suggested, but probably also in a few small details - like some missing petals, for example, maybe?
EDIT: Oh I shouldn't have commented :(... It's not on the top rated yet.
IT'S A VECTOR? That's awesome. Can I see some on progress snapshots (or maybe layer by layer snapshots of the finished work) of the vector? You should have left it as a vector on a white background.
This is certanly one of the best submission this month. Great vector and an awesome background. Did you draw the flowers and the butterflies with the pen-tool? Janks, i've must of underestimated that tool. Haven't worked with it much at all.
The only little thing i had in mind is that the adorable ladies are a bit too uncolored. They don't seem to blend in the environment. If you only could color them up a bit so you get that sunny day look it would be a 10 points from me and i probably would of faint of the excitement :faint: :D
Anyways a great wall. Definitely one of the best this summer. Just remember to boost saturation a tiny bit so they don't look too greyish
... And this wall is flyin' to favorits :)
I like the grass color.
