WOOT! WOOT! WOOT! WOW! PHILIPPINES!!!! :D
A collab wall made by me and a fellow kababayan of mine, SarahPatricia.
Sarah is probably one of the closest persons to me here in theO. Considering were both Filipinos & we had a few chats in Facebook. I guess I can say that we also share the same interests too! Setting those things aside, this wallpaper we made is very special to me since I applied many things that I learned after experimenting in Photoshop for 5 months! :D
The main render was supposed to be this one, but it was stupid of me since I lost the link. I then stumbled upon a Sakura vector from AnimePapr and made me realize that I've always wanted to make a wall out of it. I'm very happy that it suited a slight colorful/gradient/clean/abstract/typography wall that I had in my mind. I'm also happy that this wall had a red scheme color. Red is my favorite. Although the red shade on the BG was just a mere accident. It was originally & supposed to be grayish black. Despite that, I'm more satisfied with how the wall looks.
It was a very fun, creative, colorful, and very insomniac (we stayed up late because of chatting :P) experience having a collab with her. And I'm happy that the wall turned out very well. I hope you guys enjoy the wall as much as I do. Enjoy! ~ ♥

I am happy to let all of you know, that this wallpaper, is a collaboration of me and josephine! This really helped me a lot in boosting my abilities in photoshop. I thought that it would be simple because my part was the brushwork and typography, but it wasn't. Me and Sephine had many trial and errors. She taught me about putting the "right" kind of effort in a wallpaper. Trust me, it really isn't that easy as it sounds.
The process was actually long XD Me and Sephine had many chit chats in facebook. Not just the usual though. We spent time talking about the wall and about random stuff too. We even slept at dawn just because of that XD
But even though this wall's very hard for me, it was fun and I regret no part of it ^_^
I hope you like our outcome!
