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!
Ive been painting a scan for a wallpaper on and off for about a week now. Hopefully when the kids go back to school tomorrow and hubby is in work ill be able to finish finally.
@~Corvus Re-evaluate your feelings after some space. I have watched numerous relationships fail due to rushing and the wounded bird concept. @~Mystic Not bad, just been busy recently that is all. And trying to find motivation to return to one of my projects
Idk...ive been trying to push him away...i want him to be happy but hes always there for me. We havent done anything. Holding hands isnt going to do anything but...idk its complicated.
First of all...I fail!

Code Geass work from me again~
-------
Duration: March 22nd - March 27th
Time:
Vector:
Outline: 9 hours
Coloring: 11 hours (not sure...)
Backgroud:
Outline: 5 hours (I hate perspective...XD)
Coloring: 5 hours + 3hrs for ''painting''
Total: 33 hours
Most Difficult: The background! But mostly the trees!
Easiest: The vector!
Fun Part: I always have fun when vectoring C.C. plus I liked the original concept of the wall
Original Size: 7760 x 5180
PSD Filesize: 235,7 MB
Layers: no idea... but they were more than 600
Programs Used: Adobe Photoshop CS2
---------
I'm going crazy! This is probably the most difficult and complicated wall I have ever done! And the computer...so slow...>_>
I vectored C.C. from a wallpaper at the official Lost Colors website. The quaility wasn't bad, I've worked with much worse images. The vectoring was pretty easy. I can say I am proud of myself
I had an idea for the background. I wanted to recreate the Ashford Academy so I used a lot of references. I did the stairs and started painting the grass. But then I failed! (if anyone can help me painting grass I'll love you! ) So I just used PS's default grass brush and made my way with it.
I did the building, which was like, hell! I even wanted to paint some bricks on it but I was too tired of it! I can't see that building in front of me anymore! I just added noise to make it less plain.
Then, the trees! Oh, the trees! I also started painting them but the outcome didn't please me, probably because the grass wasn't painted either. So I just left the trees like that (they even reminded me of Van Gogh's paintings...yea..I was that crazy!) Horrible trees I know
I also did the same for the clouds. Just added brushes instead of painting. I have problems with my right wrist (ever since last year) so it is always hurting me and working on the computer just adds more pain, even more than drawing. I need to let it rest a lot, so I can easily tell you that this also made me give up on painting more this wall (have I told you how crazy I was getting with the wall? )
I asked Erika for opinion along the way and for the title. She mentioned how C.C. couldn't be seen and stuff so I ended up with ''Just a Simple Walk'' as in she's forbidden to do something so simple as that (even though she does...X-P)
This is the final result. I want to hear your opinions on it, if there are flaws (I know there are), how can I keep improving,etc...
Thank you for reading this long description ^^
Very neat wall,i read the info on it.
you sure put a lot of effort into making it.
it's not fair that you got a D+ rating anyone could tell
that it's really good.you even made her stay in a good
position,if it were me i'd give it an A+ rating,and
eventhough the trees don't look so good the point is
that you tried,and it looked pretty in the end!
Neat vectoring on C.C. =]
Read your description and can tell the amount of work you had put in..
Just a small suggestion: you can add some more randomness to the grass they looks a little too even in someway
Good work =]

Looks fantastic... I never saw the series or know the characters themselves. But I do like the overall look of it. And since it's in good ol' widescreen, it gets an automatic thumbs up from me.
C.C. is cute and beautiful in whatever background and pose. Here, you make her look like an innocent school girl just strolling around the school. The vector work is very nice, though I do prefer thicker lines for this. Still, the colors are very good. The background style is very nice and the building looks realistic and I love the trees. But it seems that the sky is just way too simple.
Reflections on the windows are nice details; trees have depth, excellent; sky look like winXP background, it matches; buildings have shadows and angles and doesn't look too vectored which is good, i've seen quite a few brick wall background looke fake like 90' 3D; the grass is too sharp, too sharp compared to the trees, even sharper than the character, but it has nice shades of green.
CC love!I just love this character!Anyway I love the vectoring,she looks great!The wall seems pretty lively,it is because of her green hair and the green trees,the wall seems relaxing.I liek the simplicity and how clean it is!
:O wow! More Rozen Maiden, I've been seeing alot of it lately @~1@ I guess I should hurry up and watch it soon @~1@
Anyways... Great wall!! Your bgs are always so realistic It looks great with the girl and her black wings XDXD
The wall is so awesome!! Adding to faves ^^;

For what purpose are we born?For what purpose do we die?
If that's our destiny,then we can't fight it.
We follow a path we cannot see and what it leads us to is the conclusion to our lives.
nice wallpaper!
