Oh, my god… X_X My entry for AP Vectorness’ April Challenge – Rain. I rushed this like nothing else, I know it’s fugly, if there’s anything that you see that needs to be fixed please lemme know. GRAWR! *Enters ultimate stage of wall-hatred*

I love Clover, and I think Oruha is beautiful/sexy. I’m rambling to remind myself why I chose to torture myself by vectoring ANOTHER Clover manga page. I remember once crap and I were talking about who we thought were the hottest female manga characters. I think I ultimately ended up listing Oruha as one of them. Granted a lot of it probably comes from the fact that she’s having sex with Kazuhiko every 5-10 pages? Regardless I think she’s one of Clamp’s most mysterious, alluring characters to date. And Clover is just a beautiful manga series, period.

…I get the feeling that I am so going to come back to this descrip later and make it more PG. Anyways, Oruha vectored off this manga page; I looked at this manga page for bg reference but it ended up being useless since the perspective was wrong, so I ended up drawing most of the background from scratch, including fugly rain drip outlines on windows, which I drew myself but looked at another manga page for rough referencing. Fun. *dies* Houses are photomaniped off a picture from Stock.XCHNG.

I feel a bit conflicted about the text, so I also made a textless version. This wall feels so *meh* to me =_= I’d much rather use this wall or this wall… *pimps* I dunno, what do you guys think?

Thanks nageni-kun for bouncing ideas off me (even though I didn’t end up taking the clouds idea XP They were too dreamy… I wanted something with more edge in the end >D)… and for being patient receiver of flyin’ whines… and Gids, the best slave-driver and briber I’ve ever met. You owe me a present now.

And Tama I hope you haven’t closed the competition yet…! T___T
