I can't believe I finished this already. It was sort of a spur the moment type of wallpaper/vector...I didn't want to do another vector for a while, but I just couldn't help myself on this one~ A friend of mine sent me some art by Yuji Kobayashi, and I fell in love with the style...so I looked through the gallery here and found this fairy one. I loved it...don't know why.



So I changed a lot of things: her expression (happy instead of surprised), her hair beads' colors, lipstick, and of course her wings. I wanted everything more colorful! So when I vectored, I used gradients and whatnot for that. Um, around 30 shape layers...I've been cutting down on them lately since I was taught how to combine the layers! XD But yeah, all shape layers, even for the outlines. ^^ I don't know why, but I didn't want to outline her hair, so that's how it is. I was lazy with the shading in her hair, so please forgive me if some of it looks odd...

As for the background, I went for one similar to the original with a forest...except I changed the colors and used brushwork for the sparkles and whatnot...think fairy dust! The texture for the trees was found here. I added some PS texture over the fairy to give her, well, some texture, too! At first I had this "go green" theme going on, and I gave everything a grass texture, but that just didn't work out. XD I think this is pretty good!! It's also for the Script Refinery's contest " Hidden Meanings." Because...well, the words are pretty unnoticeable over there on the tree to the right! Hide and seek!

This took less than a week...with like an hour's work each day. I've been horribly sick, so this gave me something to do. I hope you like it! ^_^ Comments and faves much, much appreciated!!
