Hello guys!! This is Anna and I am here to present you yet another wall for the Battlegrounds @ povism.org. I am really happy we won this one!
Theme: Discrete/ Non-cliche Melancholy
Basic points of the challenge:
It has to have originality, scenic, variant of colours, and include either NO or MULTIPLE textures (meaning, not just a single texture overlay).
Can be indoors or outdoors; if it's indoors, it must show the outdoors in a way (eg. an open window).
Single character only, must be in a human form
---------------------------------------------
CONCEPT:
---------------------------------------------
I chose to use this scan. However, it wouldn't fit the requirements if I left it as it was so I had to make it fit the rules of the challenge. Basically I excluded Hitonari and kept only Akane on the wall. I expanded the ground and added buildings that can be seen from the reflection.
I've learned tons of things while doing this wall as far as painting is concerned. I tried to find ways to paint realistic ground and came up with some really useful techniques. I might consider making a tutorial in the future when I'll have some free time. You should know that there are no textures on the ground! I'll explain below how I painted it.
----------------------------------------------------------
So here's the WIP. This time I decided I shouldn't put it in a spoiler tag since so many people ignored it last time and kept mentioning vectors and stuff that didn't actually exist. So please, before saying anything, read the description.
Step 1:
- I outlined and expanded the scan.
Step 2:
- I painted Akane with the Airbrush Hard Round brush of PS default brushes.
Step 3
-Then I painted the buildings and I added textures to only them. I haven't put a texture anywhere else.
Step 4
-Then comes the ground which I painted with two brushes. The basic colors were put with the Oil Pastel Large Brush. Then the details were added with the Spatter 59 pixels brush.
Step 5
-Next was the sky on the reflection.
Step 6
- I had to make the water look more like water so I brushed highlights here and there with a soft round brush at an overlay layer, 50% opacity.
Step 7
- I then added ripples and some raindrops and called it done.

EDIT: And I know there are two I'll CKBC walls in the same day but I started doing mine 3,5 weeks ago. :P
EDIT 2: I also dedicate this wallpaper to Graphica, a group I recently joined.

Even though the rain has almost stopped, the pain in my heart just won't.
