Yay! A wallpaper that isn’t from a CLAMP series! Do I even remember how to do those anymore? And it’s not vectored, either.

Here are the stats:
----------------------
Time: Of and on working for two weeks
Layers: 36 (the final count after merging several)
Hardest Part: Making the wall match the scan

I don’t particularly like or hate Sialeeds, but I fell in love with this scan. Anyone that remembers me from Minitokyo can probably tell you I don’t make warm tone wallpapers that often, but I couldn’t really see this wallpaper any other way, and it came out like I wanted it to.

The idea for this came directly from the game Suikoden 5 and the Twilight Rune (I keep trying to call it the “Dusk” Rune… You know, “Dawn”… “Dusk”…. I wonder why they didn’t go with that word instead ). Anyways, the glowing symbol in the stained glass is the Twilight Rune which Sialeeds carries on her left hand, hence the reason that hand is glowing. The wallpaper is pretty much good old fashioned photo-manipulation and filtering/painting/overall tweaking to make everything fit together and not clash. I had to paint more of her sleeve on the bottom left side & finish the section of the pattern to make it fall to the bottom of the wallpaper. The overlaying texture was used to give it a bit of an aged feeling as well. I’ll probably think of everything I really wanted to say after this is submitted, so I’ll just stop for now.


Edit: I went back and got rid of the pink in Sialeeds hair because it was driving me crazy. Now it's all silver/violet.
