Author's wise words
I guess this is a kind of depressing wall for what's supposed to be a happy occasion. But I guess it's alright. I wanted to try and portray the slightly darker, sadder side of our songstress. Even the Pink Princess can get depressed; it happens to everyone and we all learn to deal with it in our own way. We can't let take over our lives.
Tsukiakari means Moonlight.
The original scan had text and bad colour so of course I vectored it. After that, I had to design the background. Basic scenario: Lacus is lying backwards on her bed, late at night, moonlight streaming through her window. I guess designing her room was fun. At first I just made the window, but the walls looked way too empty, so I gave them some colour, pattern, and panelling. Then I added a photo of Kira and Lacus on the wall. Then the Haro clock. Gotta love the Haro clock! Although it wouldn't really work :P I added a painting of sorts to the left of the wall, and added Kira and Lacus in the painting.
Everything in this wall is made from scratch, except for the painting (stock), and the moon/clouds (brush). Therefore I'm sure the perspective is kind of off lol XD Ah well.
I guess that's about it! I hope you like it Moon-chan, sorry for the lateness and I hope you had a memorable birthday ^_^

The perspective is off. It's clear you attempted the vanishing point trick, but the perspective of the bed is off from the rest of it. You would have also been better off doing curvilinear perspective. For 3-point perspective, it usually works out best.
Also, the light shining through onto her does not conform to the curves of her body. That is like...basic lighting 101. Take the time and draw the lighting over her body s you hit each of the curves. You'd be amazed at how much better the wall would look.
I also would have left off the images of her and Kira. I think it takes away from the wall and the mood. If you felt you needed to have something on the walls, I would have suggested a pattern on the wall instead.
The light coming in from the window and the sky outside are nice though.
It's a rather ambitious wall, and I think it needed more time spent on it to work out the details and to make everything right.
Sifting to the bottom, every day for two...All energy funnels, all becomes you
lighting is the second issue. the rectangles of light cast by the window have no regard for the contours of what they are cast against... their edges should follow the shape of lacus' body and the bed and if the inclination is steep enough for her body to block, either fully or partially, the light, then it would not exist in that area or be as bright. it would have been also nice if you vectored the shading on lacus and the bed according to your limited light source. simply darkening the parts that the moonlight doesn't hit isn't sufficient. it's more work but it brings unity to the wall. something else about lighting is that the walls shouldn't be at about the same dimness -- maybe you can observe that at night in a room lit with just a window.
and just a little note about the leftmost painting of kira and lacus: i see aliasing on the trees...not good for an otherwise clean wall. ah, but the haro clock idea is really cute though. xD i can see your aspiration to make something great, on the next level up, behind your concept. but the technical stuff -- the execution of the wall -- that's... um... not as great. however, this is a learning experience right? so please don't take what i said in a negative light. hone your skills and keep working and you'll surely get better at this. =]
curious?
I love the title, very unique.
Well your able to show what you want to show here in your wallpaper, I mean your able to show the sadder side of Lacus Clyne.
Vectoring is really nice, very good.
The one that catches my attention is those pictures of Lacus with Kira, so sweet and also the "haro clock"
Good Job!
anime and HSJ until the end
though i'm not really a fan of GS/GSD but i really do like Lacus.
you did a great job on vectoring Lacus + the bg is nice!
love the crescent moon + the starry skies
though same as vectorman, kalico and asa1 said the lightings is bit
different due to the day like dimness + the perspective of the bed is off
and it doesnt suit in the perspective of the wall.
but overall nice vector and haro clock!
Nice wallpaper,and good job !
I'd have vectored the bg too >__< Very nice work on the vectoring nonetheless! :3
