* My last submission before school begins...
Haha I've gotten into a long streak of not finishing anything! I left three unfinished wallies to start this. All the recent beautiful Chobits wallies got me in a CLAMP mood.
The title is from the manga; one of the lines from Chi's books.

I've always loved this scan and so I immediatly thought of it when I decided to vector a CLAMP scan. (The scan I ACTUALLY vectored was out of a gallery that no longer exists, so the link is to the same scan on MiniTokyo.)
The vector is available for download here:

(please do look at it since I could only include the top half in the wallpaper and I worked so hard on the whole thing!)
The Chi vector was 90% of the wallpaper and also my fav part. I always love doing intense hair. :3
The dress was a little tricky but still fun.
I decided to do more of a zoom-in to focus on Chi.
The sky is a heavily filtered stock with a gradient over it. (Stock from Deviantart)
I did want to add more to the sky than was in the original scan... which was just beige.
I love the look of billowing curtains though I fail at making them. The right side I copied from the scan but the left side was all from scratch... *shudder*
I kept transparency in places for the sheer curtain look.
One thing I kept in mind was an icon-friendly wallpaper (at least the large size!)
The final touch was just some glowey-spots to give it the dream-like feeling.
The signature is a tiny bit large because of recent concerns with wallpaper ripping, but I hope it's not too imposing.
Comments and favs are greatly appreciated!
I love constructive criticism as long as you're not MEAN to Doki! T-T
I actually do plan to make changes if some one gives good advice this time~
