Konnichiwa!~

How are you guys? Well...maybe the ones that helped me first are not going to be the ones to check the newest version...so......I'll put the two links for you to be able to compare OKAY? :)

Old one: Dreaming (old version)

New one: Dreaming (new version)

Hey! Thank you all for you comments! I hope this new wallie is better....waiting for your comments n.n

It's way better than the first one. Can you pretty pls tell me where you got that awesome font, or at least the name of the font? But I don't think MT will allow it yet. The scan extraction needs some improvement and the background, although pretty hard worked, is simple. A few sparkle brushes and some stars won't do for a bg. Also, the text is too big. You could try some effects on the text. Select the text layer, go to Layer --> Layer Style and play with those nice options, the Blending Effects are great! But hey, it's a great improvement. ^_^b

First of all, it's good that you added some clouds there. The stars look a little out of place and with rough edges, though. A little blur on the edges won't hurt.
Second, maybe you should add some more realistic clouds under Sakura, make her look like she's flying. You can fin a lot of cloud and stars brushes on deviantART, especially from Scully7491. A moon would look god in the background too :)

It looks way better then the old one...I never commented on the old one,not that I remember doing it...so,let's get down to business.
I suggest you shrink down the font,I agree with Sakura-Dust-san that you should improve the background and take pandemonium-san's advice,the clouds should be more realistic and the moon should be there as the title wrote 'play with the moon'.Add some effects on the stars so that it blends with those beloging to the scan.Most importantly,improve the background.Thats all.Hope I had not been to harsh.

In the old Sakura looks better!

But the new one looks better, imo! ^^

The new wallie looks pretty :D
Nice front and stars u got there ;)
I think the only thing that need to change is the background to night sky or a cresent shape moon in the night sky ;)
It's really a big improve ,flordeplata-chan XD
I kind of like it :)

Hmm... take care of the extraction, will ya? I see a bit of flaws, occasionally here and there on her hat. That's for the old one, of course. As for the new one, add some flair to it. It seems so plain. :D

Thank you so much for your comments guys! I will keep on working! I'm not sure about putting another moon in the bg....cause... There will be two moons you know? but...still i'm gonna try it :) also! I will work on the text, the clouds :) and the scan...

I will do a new thread when I finish the third version OK? Arigatou gozaimasu!XD

P.D.: For Sakura-Dust! Of course I can tell you jijiji I found my font in this url:

You should check the other one in callygraphy...they have pretty fonts there n.n!

For pandemonium91 ! Thank you so much for the link! I'm checking it right now! :)


I knew you could do it ! It's so prettier ! Sakura is cute... she has to shine like the stars, got it ? Lovelly work ! ^_~
Goog luck with the subission !

Yay! Thankies! I owe ya one! So here's this piece of advice: don't make 2 moons. Leave Sakura on the moon and put her in the right corner, like she's now. Make in the lower part of the wallpaper, clouds of different types, colors (but all dark, night-like colors). Only in the lower part. Where Sakura is make the sky, use different shades of dark blue and put some stars and comets. In the sky, put your text. Use the same font, a lil' bit smaller or of the same size, but put less words; only 'dreaming' or 'dreamer' would be enough. Hope I helped you a little ^_~

P.S If you don't get it, give me the Sakura scan and I'll make a demonstration.

some crits: scan- extraction errors: tons of jagged edges - i.e her left hand etc.
also the stars are insanely jagged. why not make the stars using the pen tool? you could also use the custom shapes. this would ensure they are silky smooth.

note: you are using Gaussian blur way too much here.
