After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!
I finally decided to finished this wall!... yeahhh
This was my entry for the Melancholy challenge at the battleground... *cough* yeah i took my time to submit this, lazyness :P
I had only 4 days left to make the wallpaper, so i had to rush and submited it a bit unfinished... So i decided to work on it some more... spent 3 days to finish adding details to her vector, remade her face and retouch the bg a bit
I had this image found on a website long time ago.. "Clicky"
and i really liked it for this challenge... she looks a bit sad so i thought it would work well..
THE BACKGROUND
Again a crazy try with Photoshop... mouse painting xD
On one of the previous challenges i made my first painted clouds and hills with my mouse.. though they didn't fill the hole bg cause the vector covered the most remmember this wall?
Well this time... i thought.. why not trying to paint the entire bg?..
So again i started painting with my mouse, dropped base colors.. then details
(though i have to admit that i smudged the clouds.. a lot!... but oh well.. mouse painting is serious bussiness xD ...)
THE VECTOR
I made her vector on Illustrator. I wanted to try harder this time.. so i made a very detailed shading... Also i changed her face expression a lot, made her look more elegant/sexy xD... Layers used = 812
After getting everything together..
- I adjusted the colors of the vector to match bg
- I made the rain painting some lines and using some filters..
- Then i made the falling water over the character... For that i vectored some shapes, erase them a bit and painted on top to make them look less flat.
- Other minor details, and some textures.. and i'm done xD ...
Time Spent: around 7 days (4 days 1st version + 3 to get this last one X3)
Programes: Photoshop and Ilustrator CS3
Vector Shapes: 812
Music: no idea xD (to many)
PS: cookies on my keyboard, oh noes!! (hope you read this, now come & clean! xD)
PS2: Special thanks to `anolibb, for always checking my different versions X3 (ur drive must have a collection of my walls xD)
That is some seriously impressive painting there. *is jealous*. Some very nice additions to the original for the battle. Loved it then, love it even more now. +fav!
Again! A master piece again! We can clearly see your skill in vectoring (and the inspiration of anolibb ^^) it's really great!
The painted sky is well done, and the overall is correctly assemble, I just can see any wrong spot.
Special greet on the eyes, there are amazing, and I know how hard eyes are difficult to make, and they are just... amazing...
And well, the skirt is also really well made.
The mouth may be improved, because of the white inside, but I don't really know how (I couldn't make something like that already, so forget about it xD)
This can't be other than a fav :D
PS: I prefer the night version because the contrast of the vector is better, we can see more shades.
Gotta admit I wasn't a big fan of your walls before, but this one is really nice!
I love the skirt. :) nice painting too.
When I look at the thumbnail it looks like the wall would be too dark, but the fullview looks nice.
Good job.
Wow, that looks cool! Great work on both, vector and bg. Just one thing that I don't like is color of skirt but that's just a matter of taste )
Dunno if I'm more envoius of skills or that you pc can handle 800+ layers
I have to merge things quite often (
You really did a big improvement on the background. The sky looks awesome! It looks like a thunder storm is coming. Very nicely done! =3 I also love how you did the skirt because it looks so pretty. I want her skirt. *__* Also a nice fix on the facial expression. ^_~
I shouldn't have read the description, I almost got a heart-attack when I saw how much work you've put in this!!
Well, let me tell you, those clouds are damn good :D
Vectoring is flawless, but since it's you we're talking, I won't point it out - hey, it's expected XD
What else? Well, nothing really, it's a fav from me, of course!
Wow... the painted sky looks awesome and the hill on the side looks great too..
hmmm... and i didn't know you could shade in illustrator...lol
i need to try that ou tnow.
anyways nice work.. very cool.

At last i can see it :) The eyes came out perfectly so you can relax now XD
Very beautiful, very touching, i really appreciate your work for this wallpaper, it shows...
Your painting skills are improved, your vector skills too and that is what is the most important cause it can be seen through this piece.
The vector is nice, and I like the bg, the sky looks great. :D Some of the rain on her head does look a bit thick though.. But the rain everywhere else looks really nice and realistic. So great job on that. ^^ I think my fav part is her skirt though, the shading is great and I like the pattern. XD So great job on this wall, it really deserves a fav. ^^
Nice :) Your stormy bg came out really nicely, and I can't really see anything that sticks out. The light pole isn't too distracting, thanks to your awesome work in blending the bg smoothly together. And of course, your vector rocks =P
You've definitely passed me by in scenic walling :) Awesome work ^^ +fav
Hoho, very nice vector work and wonderful bg! =D
I like the softness and sadness of the wall, don't ask me why xD
I don't like Saber's hair though.. :\

Actually my favourite-mood, though I'm mostly a happy person.
I like especially, that Saber looks so different than in the anime.
