*FULLVIEW PLEASE i don't think the thumbnail will looks good *

Finally finished this one today ;)
I wanted to make a jigoku shoujo wallpaper since the first time i saw the beautiful hell sunset
Who would have thought hell could be so beautiful XD ?
I finally found one scan from the OST booklet and decided to recreate the scenery ...

I initially planned to paint all over it but don't have a tablet and didn't want to wait until
i have one ...
So i finally go for a no-tablet way ... the most usual way with vector and brush ... i don't mean painting with the mouse

I decided to make a stormy and dramatic sky ( instead of a calm and nearly peaceful sky usually on
the show )
The stormy feel of the sky is supposed to show the avenger's dilemna ... pull the red string ? or not ? ...
Got their revenge and send their behalf to hell then follow him there ? or abandon it and maybe
live a hell on earth ?
Which destiny is the better ?
Each destiny represent a burden ... Which one is the heavier ?
*cough cough* i'll stop here to bother you with philosophical thoughts *cough cough*
I only hope i managed to transmit this feeling

As you can see on the show the tree trunc have such a strange shape so i have no other choice than
to vector it ...
I then added the leaves with a brush i created especially for the wall ^^
I added lights to give depth to the tree .. thanks to The11342 for pointing me the "flatness" of the tree XD

The grassy ground was easy to make with the fuzzy ball brush (i just love this brush and don't have
that much occasion to use it ;) )

The mountains were also vectored from the scan but i extended them, added a pattern and lighting on them
to give more depth to the whole scene
The same with the water ... tried several colors and blending options for the sun reflection on it ..
I also had to add a branch in the right so it wasn't empty

I added Ai and an avenger's silhouettes .. don't know if it works that well ^^
Even though i wanted Ai silhouette to be recognizable i didn't want the other to be ...
In the wall : it can be anyone ...

Finally i tried my best with the lighting ... and hope i did it right :p

Huh ? Why this "empty" space" on the right ?? For icons of course ... my desktop is quite busy
at the moment

The wall was made for LCD flat screen so i think it will be a bit too dark for old screens ...
Just ask me if you want me to post a lighter version ^^

On a side note i just found the Jigoku Tsuushin site XD :

A long description again -_-' i suck at writing description but just can't post a wall without saying
anything ;)
All comments/critics/favs (whatever version you prefer) are of course very much appreciated XD
Hope you'll like it

EDIT :
- Fix the tree by erasing some of the lighting, and erasing the leaves which seems to fly around
- Change the text

Thx MinstrelKnight for the suggestion ^^
