Hi ^_^'
Well, I decided to make a Kaleido star wallpaper, and then I found this sora-chan picture :hmpf:
I'm thinking about calling it Sora in the sky, because sora means sky, ne? o_0 T_T
I'm unsure about the glitter, since I tried to make it using the scan as a base XO
I thougth I should do some grass field >_> , but it didn't work well...
Well, so what can I do to improve it?
Thank you in advance ^__^

scan extraction definitely needs a bit of work. i see graininess on some of the edges.
not to be overly critical but it appears that youve just pasted the scan over a picture of the sky >__> not exactly creative XD
maybe try to create your own clouds and sky scenery so that way itll be more customized to suit your scan rather than trying to find a pic to match the scan.
id say make a cloud scene but add a distant layer of grass on the horizon so it doesnt look like she jumped into the stratosphere or something.
also gota remove the sparkles and the streaming light from the left hand corner cause it just clutters the wall too much.
overall, its got potential ^__^
Hmmm, straight to the points...
For such a bright Sora, you need to brighten the sora behind her... I think it is a stock photo right? Try playing with
the filters (and color balance and brightness/contrast) to make it looks brighter and match the brightness of the scan,
it looks real gloomy right now :P
I think when the clouds behind her are brightened, the light source wouldn't looks so outta place anymore, but you still
shouldn't do so many streams of light shooting of from it >_> it looks way too chaotic that way, and far less
realistic... (am assuming you are gg for the realistic look since it is a scenic)
Oh, am forgetting the scan totally lol.. some part needs better extraction (her hair for example) and I think you should
try cleaning it a bit :) the quality is not that bad, but cleaning it more would be better ;)
And if the grass field doesn't work, you may wanna make it looks as if she is jumping to a pool instead? Try putting
some beach ball on the bottom (very slightly, you should only put the very top part), and put some water splashes on
her, so that it looks as if we are in the pool looking at her trying to jump in :D or since she is clothed, in a river
>_< can make it that we can see slight part of the water of the river (it should be messy and splashy, not
straight line)
Hope that helps :)

The basic idea is nice, but I have to agree with the previous commenters. Plus, the bg photo is too focused for an anime wall; you can still see its grain. Filters are usually shunned, but I think that some medium and diffuse glow filters would make the photo fit better here.

yeah.. it's just missing a little bit - and the scan doesn't fit with such a bright sky - make the sky fit with the scan :)
This signature violates the signature guidelines, thus it has been removed.
Hello ^_^
Thank you all for the suggestions :)
I worked more at the straction of the scan, and did another thinks more. Tareren, the idea of the pool/river was great
^_^
Unfortunatly, I'm not able to do this rigth now xD
So, I made two versions, and I'm hoping to improve more and more ^__^
Here are the two versions:

[ a pink sunset version. I think it fills the space which is not filled by Sora >.< And it matches her hair ^_^

[ A sky-made-by-me. Well, I tried >_< ]
Any comment/suggestion would be great ^__^
Bye ^_^/
Hm...the first version looks even emptier than the original. The second version still has the problems kai pointed out previously. Also, in the second one, having the sun so bright, and placing it in the center, distracts from the chara.
I think both versions would benefit from some text...and the removal of the sparkles. The sparkles just seem out of place, clinging to the chara.

i like the colour tone of the 1st version, but yeah, it's too empty. and sparkles no good. sparkles too cliched. [sorry
for being blunt. ^^"] i don't know why nobody has [pointed this out yet, but i think you need to see the ground in
this wall, because:
1. there's no way she she can jump that high [she's not looking down, you see[];
2. it feels so, i dunno, weightless? [lack of suitable vocab] it just feels uncomfortable that there's no focal point in
the whole wall expect for the floating character... i have no idea how to describe it; and
3. it'll fill up some of that big "empty" background.
you don't have to make it complicated, just a simple horizon silhouetted against the sunset, of treetops, or a city, or a field, or a cottage, anything. that's what you need to add to your 1st version to perfect it. and just tune up the saturation a bitty for the sunset sky, it looks more like dawn, because it's so pale.
keep working on it, you've done a great job extracting so you shouldn't waste your efforts. i hope i've helped! *thumbs up*
p.s. i don't like the 2nd version, for the reasons bluSake described above. xP

Ok ^_^
So, sparkles no good, removed all of them.
The ground was added... with some trouble though ' It may seem that she is on her knees at the floor
This time I used another program, and some filters also
The sky is available with some color variety
First version:
http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d129/Izumi959/50003286.jpg
Blue sky, rock landscape ^^
Second:

It seems that she jumped off from the montain
The color is weird ''
Third one:

Your ordinary river wallie ^_^
That´s it ^_^
I don't care what those other guys said, I liked the sparkles^_^ You could make her jump out of a pool and with splashes
around her, then the sparkles would be little water droplets. I didn't like any of those last 3, why would you jump like
that in those places? and where is the ground? But I did like the sun in the middle left.
take a look at these ones:

well the extraction seems to be good but i think it can be improve a lot, and it looks a little empty
anyway i think you have a good potential ;)
Well ^_^'...
I don't know why she would jump like that, maybe she was *very* happy... >.<
And I think that the sparkles matched with the firsts versions, but it wouldn't fit the last three ones o_0
Ans the water idea is lovely, I can clearly see it in my head. But I don´t have enough skills to actually go and do
it >_>
I already did all I could with the extraction :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:
Thanks for helping :D :D :D
If you need tutorials:
[Imanimations.net] has a water
tutorial. Never tried it myself, and don't know what the MT mods think of it but...
[Ningen's Anime Wallpapers] has a nice grass
tutorial, if you want to try that.
Ganbate :)

Ok, after all this, I realized that it was not whorthy.
I wanted one thing, but after all that was said, I'm not sure of anything. I know, ''if you don't want oppinions, don't
ask for them.'' That was not my case, but all those suggestions made me stay like... @____@, you know? -_-
So, all of you that helped me, thanks, but I decided to submit it on the version I liked the most, and sorry for
wasting your time -_- -_-
It's here:

If it gets deleted for being too simple that's ok, I'm moving on to another project. Thanks again and I'm sorry. :sweat:
:sweat: :sweat:
I like it, but it can get better. First, I think Sora's edges has to be cleaned. And I'd try adding brushes in the background. All of them are cute...but too simple -_-
