I've been really enjoying Victorian Romance Emma, because I'm a girl and fluffy shoujo romance with historial settings is always a way to keep me interested. Of course, once I start loving a series I start making wallpapers! I found this scan off of someone's livejournal; originally from Animage June/05, the scene was taken straight out of Episode 7, "Crystal Palace." I loved the romantic night setting, plus the fact it's in the Crystal Palace! I redrew the background from scratch, partially tracing the original structure of the Crystal Palace, and adding in my own stuff. Instead of the shadowy palm trees in the background, I used some of Illustrator's tree symbols, sufficiently darkened and placed at appropriate intervals, to break up the monotonous Palace structure. Stars were made with a simple set of brushes. I added some soft translucency to the palace structure so it looked like there was glass between the wall and the sky. No moon; the light source is behind the viewer, so the moon would have been wholly inappropriate. After I redrew the background I realized the characters were far too pale and washed out for the night scene, so I liberally darkened them to fit. Text done in Photoshop using some of Photoshop's preinstalled fancy smancy shapes. "Crystal Hearts" was the title because they're in the Crystal Palace, and well, they're in love.
