This is my first time painting for a wallpaper, so please be kind. ^^; I think I did well! And I had A LOT of fun with this one. Unlike most of my other walls, I found this one really enjoyable to work on, and the whole way through I thought, "Wow! I can't believe I'm doing this!" I found THIS SCAN on forever-more, which has loads of BL/yaoi goodness. XD Well, I fell in love! I thought it was such a beautiful scan that it had to be walled! And I decided to make it my first attempt at painting. ^_^ So I used my tablet and painted away~ I really just went by gut-instinct...no tutorials or anything, so I think it's pretty good for that. Except that his hair still bothers me... I did the clouds first, and I loved how those turned out. :3 Then I worked on the walls, and then his hair...and then the rest. Use of brushes and smudging everywhere, but I did vector certain parts, like the base colors for his clothes and the walls, and also the lines of the wood. I even used my tablet for the rest of the outlines. :3 Very hard to do...with my wobbly hands! DX
I'm not sure which part was the hardest. :/ I think at some point, each part felt that way. XD But again, at each point, it was fun to do. I hope more people wall from Takarai Rihito's work because they are amazing [first submission for the category, woot!] Um, and yes, I did add some textures that gave it a reddish hue...kind of like an evening scene now. You know me--I love textures!! ^^; But for those of you that don't, here's the plain version of widescreen:

And just two screenshots I took of my progress:

Ok! Well, I hope you guys like it. ^^ This was a fun thing to do during my stressful final exam times. *laugh* Comments/faves/suggestions greatly appreciated!! :D
