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!
@$Rabbit: thats dumb. but i think they must have been outgoing girls then maybe huh? some girls act like they hate people that are shy or not "outgoing" but then again i dont like outgoing girls
@~Kitty: there were two girls who sat next to me. but they both moved away after a few days. funny, because they initated conversations with other guys except me
Widescreen FTW! I definitely recommend it. Standard has the black bars of death at the top and bottom, lol. Sorry. I didn't want to have any part of this wall cut off by being in standard, so I had to do that. ^^;; Anyhoo... I AM NOT DEAD. Although I sure felt like it quite often during this walling process. I haven't been online, or at least not on AP, for over a month! I'm sorry! T__T But school was killing me, and most of all, my mind and paranoia were killing me. I couldn't bring myself to come on here for several reasons...and I had to take a LONG break from walling. ~__~; I don't know if I'm still feeling better about things, but I wanted to finish this wall. And I FINALLY did.
After seeing this scan, I got inspiration. I love Haibane Renmei; it's one of my all-time favorite anime~ And I wanted to use my tablet to paint again (especially since I think ABe-sensei's style is similar to my sketchiness). It's so much fun! ^_^ For the most part...at least, lol. It's also very rough and time-consuming. I had a lot of fun with painting Rakka, but once she was done, my uh...hesitation and fear set in! I had a major artist's block. Staring at that blank canvas in the bg scared the crap out of me. I knew I wanted to make a foresty scene like in the original, but I didn't know how to go about it. I also had an idea to put a crow in there...since crows are such a major symbol in Haibane. ♥ So first I did the crow, using this photo as reference. I've never drawn a crow before. I was greatly afraid to start! *laugh* But then I got the hang of it, and had fun with karasu-chan, too. :3
It's the bg that killed me. But a savior came with the name Andrea, and she helped me greatly. She gave me lots of ideas and advice on how to go about the trees and leaves etc! *hugs her* So after weeks of staring at a blank canvas, I got help and moved along with finishing it. And now it's done. Oh, school is also done. I'm on summer break now. >D I hope that with that, my mind will calm down, and I won't be so stressed. Though, honestly, walling has really been stressing me out more...so expect long breaks in between again! ^^; Ok, um...here's some screenshots I took during the process:

Thanks for reading my long description! ^^; And thanks for being patient with me. :) Hopefully I can muster up enough will to make another wallpaper soon. But until then, I appreciate any comments/faves on this one! THANKS.
Very, very nice!! I love the sketchiness and I would think the bird was originally part of the scan if you hadn't said otherwise. My only problem would be the light effects you tried to create. They could use some more work. Making them more radiant and realistic would add to the overall impression. But still it's a great wall.

Wow what an excellent work ^^
the crow was a nice detail and it looks very good >< !!
the BG is really amazing, the painted trees looks beautiful and sunny
good work
Uwah, it's such a nice painting job! I like the colors and I would also presume the bird was a part of the original scan if you hadn't proven us otherwise. Lovely work.
WAHHHHHHHHHHH
its done >D
anyways i love it and you already know what i think haibane reimei is 3
i would give you a better comment but well i'm dead right now and this is the only wall im commenting on for a long time XD
The painting is just amazing and the crow! I really would have thought it was part of the original scan
The sketchiness of the lines is just beautiful and the trees in the background are so pretty and bright ^^
fav
Haibane Renmei is one of my long-time faves, so I'm very glad that this wall exists;
And it's painted too (double yippee!)~ I like how you did Rakka, but the Crow is simply the cherry on top. I'm glad you included it, because in doing so you included a bit of the storyline of Haibane Renmei. Not to mention, the background -- it's both scenic and surreal, the perfect combination! By softening the trees you made them seem as they were but flickering lights, ultimately making the blending solid and impeccable without compromising depth.
Again, thanks so much for this! ^^
Wow...such a nice paint job...
The bird...you drew it yourself? 0.0
Amazing bg too, like you mentioned...
"impressive, most impressive"...
looking forward to your next paint job!
Well done wallpaper.
The integration of the different components look quite rough, but it somehow ended up looking quite good. I like the symbolic touch of the flying crow. The water coloring looks good.
I love this wallpaper so much. It gives me. I love the sketchiness concept very much. It gives me a truly happy and relaxing atmosphere. My favourite wallpaper now ^^ Not too forget my it's gonna my by desktop wallpaper :D
