Cold can be bitter... as love

More resolutions @ AP [link]

So sad times, we are now leaving the cold days and the rainy mornings, summer is coming and a new cycle of life is starting... That's the theme of my new wallpaper, sad cold times and ...love (thanks to Moutonzare for inspiring me this theme, and also for the title), it shows the nuances between warm and cold, the warm the a girl in love can give and the glacial of the loneliness, of the feeling that we have when no one cares about...

Technical stuff about the wallpaper :

I made the entire elements of the wallpaper with my tablet, extending the scan (yes I used it) and bringing some colors on it, all the elements I added are vectored than painted under Photoshop, that was my hugest PS work, I just started it after a nice chat with sjade1 about Tablets and Photoshop (thanks for motivation Jay!)

PSD file size is around the 285 megabytes (that's the final size, after I removed some useless layers) there is 219 active layers in total and the original resolution I worked on is 6502 x 4064 pixels, my computer suffered from long loading for save and load process! But I feel that it paid well with the result, I hope ^^ Thanks again for Moutonzare, he's the bests when it's about ideas, perspective and title suggestions !!!

Here is the used scan and the progression, this time I made a little crappy animation showing the most important walling process (copied the idea from Deto15 ), I will maybe add a normal progression chart with descriptions but not now because of my exams that I am passing these days! I recommend the 4:3 version, it's the original resolution, the rest are cropped from...
