The text is from a song I've been listening to a lot lately called "Night Changes" by One Direction.

"We're only getting older, baby
And I've been thinking about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes It will never change me and you"

I wanted to create a collage about growing up showing pics of Sakura as a kid/teenager/adult. I made it while thinking a lot lately about how quickly life can change. Also this is for me & @Sasuke < 3 Since I also technically made this while thinking about our friendship and us over the years, I thought SasuSaku would be best used for that. 

All hail Sakura the GFX Queen ~ I really love it your such a professional I think.  Keep up the great work dear !

The crazy part is I watched her make a great deal of this and it only took her a little over an hour to make

Lol sometimes it can take much longer it's just with this I had an exact idea in my head and exactly what I wanted to do so I felt extremely motivated to work on it and had already planned it all out in my head. Usually when I start a GFX piece I have ZERO clue what I'm doing or the direction I'm going just that I want to use a specific render/character and it all just kind of falls into place as I go along. 

Anywhoo thank you all for the nice comments! I'm glad this was a fave of everyone's I think it's also one of mine ^^

The fact that you can plan it out in your head and execute like that proves how talented you are.

She's a BIG professional in my eyes what Sakura can do people when I was younger doing graphic websites and selling there work. Her skills the types she makes only really talented people knew how to do. I'm average I guess by now. Back then I was a noob and didn't know much. I  do still have old work of mine on here still.

Though I rather keep that private for personal reasons,  apologies. I'll might show you if I learn to trust you more (anyone if they want to see old ones I did for others back when I joined long ago) I have Club and some people's headers for there profile I made. Also I'm taking requests in my art thread now.

My art will be up again soon just sorting through some things

What Orion said. The fact you can even do that is leagues above what I can do.

Wow, Sakura you keep surprising us with your creative skills and this piece is excellent and really well put together I'm sure your sister will like it.

That style is certainly one to explore a bit more.

This one is just as good as the other. I think you should keep going with this style and see where it ends up.

Thanks you guys I'm actually going to redo this most recent one a little bit because my sister said she wanted to use it as a desktop wallpaper. To do that I'll have to enlarge it and add a lot more but I have a good idea in my head on how to do that and what I'm planning to do.

I really want to see the end result of this. I've been taking peaks while she was working on it earlier lol

That will be cool I'm excited to see how this will turn out too. 

[Sakura]

Well here is the what I managed to do to turn it into a desktop wallpaper:

It's better viewed in full size if you click on it and open image in new tab.

WOW! That's really impressive and it looks even better full size. I'm sure your sister will like it.

The really tricky part will be making it interactive so notes and reminders can be added into the little boxes

[Forlorn]

Your projects are as stunning as ever, li'l sis'. ^^ ^^ ^^ < 3

[Sakura]

Thanks @Kikyou, @Animedragon, @Forlorn
I was hoping it would turn out decent since it was a gift for my sister and I rarely make her things for some reason lol

This turned out amazingly. I like the use of the manga images in the background and how you incorporated the smaller banner you made into it.

I like this design of wallpaper better than the previous design you had. Are you going to do more like this? 

[Sakura]

Thanks Pessi & Ori ^^ I love using that manga style lately. I started doing it with the in-game backgrounds I was making and thought I would try it with the desktop wallpapers too. I don't make wallpapers too much because they seem like a hassle but this was actually fun.
