This wall is basically a vector in wallpaper size, made for a contest over at MT. My first CLAMP vector and my biggest vector yet!

This vector was actually a lot of firsts for me.
-My first time using a CLAMP scan: CLAMP are such awesome artists and their scans are so interesting and fun to vector!
-My first time using the stroke-path method: Yes, I used stroke path. When I was deciding how to vector the scan I figured that it would be much easier and turn out a lot better if I used stroke path. Plus vectoring all those little flowers with shape layers would have driven me crazy and taken a lot more time. So if my outlines aren't as good as usual, forgive me, this was new to me. However it was a learning experience too. But don't worry, shape layer fans such as myself will be happy to know that I still plan on using shape layers for my vectors. (And for you stroke path fans, I'm sure I'll do another vector like this some day!)
-My first time using blurs and such: I found the best way to make my vector match the scan was to blur some parts of it to give it that softly-shaded look.

As you can see I added some patterns and textures to it, because I am completely obsessed with such things. I tried to not add too many though for those who don't like it. The clouds in the background I made myself with some self-made brushes. I thought it would look better than if I attempted to vector the clouds in the scan.

Anyways I entered this in a Freedom walling contest, because summer is upon us, and that means freedom from certain things *cough-school-cough*, which means more time to relax and do fun things, as depicted in this scan ^_^.

Time:
Outline- 16 hrs
Colouring- 11 hrs
Total- 27 hrs
Layers: 107

(I told myself not to write a long description, too late for that :P) I've submitted this image at MT as a vector without the texture overlayed, for those interested.

Anyways I hope you like this vector/wall! Comments and faves are greatly appreciated! *Hugs*

P.S. I made a widescreen version for all you widescreeners but I don't think it's as good as the normal sized one. More resolutions available upon request!
