Hellloooooo! People! How are you doing?

Yea I swear assignments have made me insane T^T

Aaanyway! I TYPED THIS OUT BUT I CLOSED THE TAB AND NOW I'M RETYPING! T^T

So! I've decided to make a wallpaper to destress myself! Ahhh by looking at this I must be positively insane! Because I know it looks kinda sucky. Even my brother commented that it looks weird. But ahh! DURING ASSIGNMENT PERIOD I did NOT listen to any anime music, watch any anime or read any manga and I ALMOST missed my chapters of KHR! T_T

Yea we're graduating and my lecturer thinks it's funny to dump all assignments on us a month before and make us work~~~ like....WORK :D So yea, I'm having my finals next week and I'll be GRADUATING from hell on earth (college) into hell on earth v2.0 (university) LOL XD but yeaa.... I'm like super sleepy now...with an important presentation tomorrow T_T

Anyway! I was listening to PRAY and PAPERMOON and DIVE TO WORLD (yea all the song names were in caps....don't ask me why @_@) and kinda got this impression and feeling from the songs @_@ hope youu like it! =P My brother says it's weird but....meh~ :P

OH OH! and I got myself a new laptop (old one's RAM died, HD got paged like mad, and I needed a new laptop for my coding, graphics designing and what not anyway) so I've posted up 3 resolitions! standard, widescreen, and HD res =)

I was going for the "sticker" theme~ Where she would look like she's falling through clouds, except that they were painted in paper....with coffee stains and all :P went for a grungy look to make it look old. For me it's like a fantasy thing you know~ When you were younger would would stick stickers on pictures and those stuff? Yea I was going for that~ It looks weird, but i actually kinda like it~ =P

Walling Process:
Extracted Maka and made her into a sticker, used a gradient and I just had it in my mind a nice colourful gradient sky~ so i used cloud stocks and brushes for the effect, then i used paint brushes to make it look like it was tampered with, some coffee stains to make it look old and some grunge to make it look dirty. I should use a bit of a more yellow stroke for the maka sticker since it would give it the "old" feeling...but meh, I'm REALLY tired XD
