__THISRES__101665.jpg "Relaxation by °Tens 1 day 4 hours ago")
Woo... my first submission on AP and at the same time my first wallpaper after about 1 year... and my first vector! :D
What motivated me to do this was my sudden Rozen Maiden addiction (triggered by the numerous "DESU" yells on the 4chan boards XD). When I looked at the opening of Rozen Maiden Träumend, I just fell in love with this scenery and then thought of vectoring it.
I had quite a hard time with Illustrator since I never touched it since last year, and so I had to learn the basics again >_< I spent around 20 hours on it, mainly trying to fix the outlines of the city down there (which is nearly entirely covered by the taskbar... awesome T_T)
Well the result looks a bit different from the screenshot (which can be found here); I had to move a few arrows for them to fit into the wallpaper.
You may ask why the title is in German :D Well since the Rozen Maiden episode titles are in German as well, I figured I could do as much so now here we go with Besinnung, Reflection (hansei in japanese :P yay kanji). Looking at the opening, I think it suits the mood best.
Argh it's nearly midnight, I still need to do lots of things and honestly I don't know what to add here anymore :P
Oh I forgot: Thanks to my #minitokyo fellas Rein, muz, candy-chan and Shinn for their feedback on my work *bows*
I hope I can find some inspiration again soon to make another wall :D Anyways, I'm off - see ya guys and thanks in advance for any comments ^^ Keep genki!
