The original scan that I used is from Minitokyo, where I also have posted a slightly different version of this wallpaper on my account there.
Every time I try vectoring I want to curl up in the corner and cry ^_^' But what I did this time around was a combination of vectoring, painting, and cutting out textures to make the wall as I envisioned it. Yuuko's kimono is both painted and made of oriental fabric that was altered to give a very faint, delicate pattern to fit with the feel of the wallpaper. Her wings were also painted a bit and used a lot of paper texture to give it more depth and a sort of richness to it. And Mount Fuji in the background was originally scanned out of a book of Japanese prints at my house and mostly repainted to make it softer like it might seem in the snow from a distance, including the refracted light in the misty air. The original image had cherry blossoms and fluffy balls of light every where, but I chunked out both of them in favor of snow. Overall I tried to make it look vaguely like a Japanese painting or postcard. I'm really happy with how this turned out. Enjoy!

Wings are awesome!


But back to topic. The coulers and the patterns are really good picked for this wall.
