The scan I used was from this image:
Brothers by sakura5499
My wallpaper: "Our Beautiful Guardian"
Method:
Using Photoshop with about 14 layers
I extracted sailor moon from the image using a mask.
Then I added the background, using render-clouds with different colours, I have 3 layers of clouds the first grey with
100% opacity, then a blue and a pink layer with lowered opacity to blend them.
I used 2 different brushes for the stars around her.
I drew a pale blue splattered brushing around her center and leading towards the top left corner, this isn't very
noticeable-but I think adds a little mysticality to it.
Then I added 2 layers of different coloured cloud pale pink and purple, at lowered opacity to blend as a subtle border.
Next I've drawn wing-like clouds, I drew one, and mirrored it over and lowered the opacity again to blend.
Last I added the text and the symbols -which cheatingly is @ in that font rastered and lower opacity.
I was aiming for a pretty, dreamy, slightly mystical look.
I'd like to know what you think, if it is good enough to be submitted. Every wallpaper I've done has been rejected -probably too plain, so I wanted to check beforehand as I don't want to risk the pain other another rejection. :(
If you don't think it's good enough for submission -then what can I do to improve it?
Just so everyone can see
