Greetings,

As many or few of you know this wallpaper was once in the AP gallery before but got a few bad reviews. So, I decided to delete it from the gallery and keep at it. So, this is what you get and if my skill level goes up another notch. I may take another look at this to see if there is anything more I can do. Other then that. This is really what you get.

This wallpaper was made for Make-up!'s: Summer at the Beach Contest.

Sailor Mars orginally looked like this > < So, obviously I had to vector out this scan and I choose to do so because this image is speical to me and its not the first time I've come in contact with it. When I was in high school I actually painted this very image on a canvas and it was just so beautiful. I had to try to make it into a wall and I hope I did an alright job. I may create it in the same color scheme as the picture but I haven't decided that yet.

The background is made with many many different layers and optics within the GIMP freeware program. I used these tutorials: Sand and Water and ended up editing them further with some blurres and other optics. Also, I consulted a lot of ocean sunset-ish images because I have never seen the ocean with my own two eyes. So, thsi kinda thing was a bit out of my league so to speak. I also used brushes from DA for the clouds and the foam but I edited a little more on the foam.

Now, for the footprints. I know it may seem that they are a little to big but there pretty much right. Compaired to the shoe and how close the 'picture' would of been taken. If it was with a camera.

Anyways, this wall had its difficult spots and I appreashate everyones help and a speical thanks goes to °august199 for getting through to me about the footprints. In previous versions I didn't realize that they were like 'Goofys' foot prints. *blushes* Anyways, thanks to everyone who had a helping 'finger' or 'idea' into this wall. I apologize for not remembering you by name but this wall took such a long time. If you do remember and want to be recagnized. Just PM me and I will add you in! *^_^* Thanks!

And a speical thanks goes out to God/Jesus/Holy Spirit for helping me with this wall as well. I had to pray an offle lot to get over myself and the hardships of this wall. So, thanks! *^^*

So, I hope you enjoy this wall!
