This anime is awesome. Aside from the magical ending which was somewhat a let down (I was hoping for a more realistic ending, oh well), everything is perfect, and all characters are so real and human =D Anyway, I had to make one (or more?) wallpaper with Hayami and Kagura (well, mostly Hayami, but Kagura is cute too, and she is not a rival you would hate after watching the title, quite the oposite)

After extracting this image, I was going to a half-abstract sky background, but I decided to make the standard hill that is so important for the title, and than used some other effects. The grass was the most complex I ever attempted, there are some 10 layers just to make the grass and simulate the parts where it's just dirt, and others to get a better perspective feeling to it. The sky also have some new attempts on textured sky (using WATER texture, yeah, subtle but it's there) and than I had the idea to use the pinwhell to hold the "O" from H2O while Kagura somehow held the H (though H2O means Hotaru Hayami Otoha and thus both should be holding the H >.>).

Since I did not came out as a big fan of the text, a textless version for WS was made =p
