Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!! ^__^ This is my present for blueangel110!! Yes, I'm her secret santa!! although she already knew that since she arranged it! So I'm not so secret... This was fun. :D I hope you like it, blue! <333 I don't know if you've ever seen Sugar, but it's an adorable anime, and I figured since she's a snow fairy, that she would make a wonderful winter wallpaper for your gift. ^_^

I made this wallpaper my old-fashioned way. No fancy vectoring or painting (except for the snow in the bg)...just extract the scan and use brushwork for the background!! ^_^ And then add some textures. I really like how it turned out, so hopefully it will be well-received as a gift, too!! It took me a while to decide on the text, as usual, but hopefully it looks ok there. As for the bg, I used normal brushes...and smudged it for the snow. Used other snowflake brushes, and the custom shape in photoshop that makes those trees...added some glows and textures, and there you have it! <33

I don't think I'll submit this to AP, despite me liking it a lot. :3 Since it's my secret santa gift, I think it should be Otaku exclusive. ^^ Thankies; I hope you like it~ (oh, and sorry no widescreen; I was too lazy, but check out the highest resolution since it looks best)
