Good evening Minna-san! I bring you all a new wall. ^_^ It's taken me about two hours to work on this, getting everything to look perfect and all. I must say that I am happy with the outcome.

The original scan was found over on AP. I actually think it's a vector, but am not sure. ^^;

Colorful Aya by umboody

I used two different textures in the BG that I found over on Celestial-Star.net. You all have seen me use them in previous walls, so nothing new there. I used one of the default Photoshop brushes for the leaves, and I think they turned out great.

I choose the Autumn theme since there were already some leaves in the scan. Hence all the red/oranges/browns. ^_^

I had originally made this wall in 1024x768, but got requests to make it bigger. It got an amazing response after I submitted it over on SA, that I thought I'd give a crack at remaking it in a higher res. At first, I went as high as 1200x1024, but then I looked in the FAQ and saw what the highest res for submitting was and decided I would try it. I must say that I like the outcome, even if I am not used to that canvas/resolution size. In the final version, I decided to add some text. This wasn't in the first version because I only recently thought of the words to say. I'm happy with the text because it fits the flow of Aya's costume and the Oriental feeling that I get from the piece.

Enjoy!
