Hiiro no Kakera The Messenger of Spring

Really beautiful work, I like your coloring and shading better than the style in the original. I also like all the warm hues you added and the quality is just top notch! I'm not much of a bishie fan either, but I like this. :3

This is a truly lovely piece of work, it's so clean cut and smooth, very charming and just inspiring to look at. The choice of colors really sets the mood for the whole thing, the silvers whites and touch of pink mix so well together it's harmonious. The dreamy eyes off set his pale skin and make the whole thing glow angelically and the resolution lets you take it all in piece by piece, you combined a soft setting with sharp design, I would love to feature this wall. Amazing job A+ and a fav :)

I feel like I could stare at this wallpaper for ages and ages. There's something about it that just makes it very comfortable to look at. I rarely do, but I'm gonna download this one and put it in on my desktop for awhile.

Of course, that implies it's faved :>.

Lovely blue eye #.(n_n) The Messenger of Spring |(n_n)| Nice job and keep up luches san P(T_T)

Sweet. New bishie desktop. I also like your version a lot better than the scan and your painting is gorgeous. Nice work. XD

This is really beautiful...I loved that scan too,and I hoped someone would make a wall out to it,since I was kinda busy... I love the colors of it,they are cool and not so bright as in the original scan...also,his eye is even more beautiful than in the scan,it looks like he's really looking at me... Fantastic wall that deserves a fav :)

This is amazing, i love the simplicity and the pastel colors, they give an elegant touch to the whole wallpaper. my favorite part of this is the eye. Excellent!

Great work it's definitely a download and favorite from me.

You make a beautifull wall vectoring.... the image also the painting.. love it.... its beautifull the colors used.. the scanits beautifull but you make it better.. +fav +dwl

A bit uncommon for your usual style, but it shows only how a good artist you are, showing great skills and result in a different style as well. Is defitely a very good piece, from some aspects maybe your best (not for me tough, for a simple reason, no ecchi/loli/moe girl on it...ehm...sorry mate, j/k). Anyways your painting changed the image from good to better and that is, whats the important here. +Fav

*clickdownload* wuoau!!! LOVE!!!

It's a very lovely and "light" paper! The most intriguing aspect of this paper is the smooth flow of colors and lighting effect. It's the most enchanting thing I've seen and thus drew my attention to it. The colors blend perfectly well together, even when looking at the thumbnail version, you can see the noticeable change of the color temperature. Finest example can be seen at the top of the protagonist head, then it proceeds to flow across his face. It's fascinating to see how you've mastered the colors and I think it's an impeccable way of crafting this astounding paper.

What could I possibly say to compliment this vector? It's flawless, clean, sharp and stunning. You've done a wonderful job with the presentation of this paper, I admire you skills and dedication. Thanks for gracing us with your art!

OH MY GOOOOSHHH /(oOo)#(x_x) *dies* This is a lovely masterpiece, It's so elegant ! I absolutely love how it looks smooth and so soft, from the flower in his mouth to the finer details in his hair. I feel like I could never get something like this on Photoshop. Don't know what to say, the vector is insanely amazing, the minimalistic colors make the best combination ever and its so stylish. His eye is my favorite part, It's very captivating and the strong contrast in some areas and the fading effect in others are just gorgeous. Really creative and beautiul, It totally hooks me to the wall and I think that I'm going to use it as my desktop for a long while... Fave for your glorious work, you're really the Lord Of Fiction !

oh WOW this wall is amazing i absolutely love it.. the colours and lines and ..i just don't know how to say it all.. it's a fave and i'm downloading it ..i wish i could figure out how to say what i like about this..instead "amazing" and "great" just don't seem to cut it!

The body and the flower look extremely flat to me. Also, I think that you could have done a bit more with some parts of the hair (especially on the top) while maintaining the simplistic feel. Other than than, the rest is good.

just amazing love color theme simple and still perfect I can't find the right words but its just awesome !!!!!! its really a masterpiece and I love to think about the spring now. its so damn cold just like this scan but yet the flower warms me :) you did a great job on this wall sharpe edges, neat, perfect. really nice skills you ve got there :) keep it up and of cuz +fav one of manys favs you will get

Lul, I liked that scan too and had it downloaded ;3 But you made it better, and aside from nice work on scan, it have nice text too :)

btw, it's funny how concept is about spring but how scan fits to winter X3 oh well, it'll last for longer! XD

Awesome vector and painting, nice job :) i like it even more than original scan :) also i wanted to vector this too, but im glad you did it, you done it beautifully :) not to mention that guy who is also so pretty and nice :) faves :)

Love the smoothness :D.

speachless.. awesome use of meshes! top notch vectoring! fav+ is a must!

wow this is really beautiful! <3 the scan too XD faves

I love this wallpaper!! It's really beautiful! awesome work! ^^ Nice painting looks really smooth. Nice mix of colors! ^^ Keep it up!

It's beautiful! :3

Lovely Wallpaper ! (XD)

Congratulations! The original is already pretty but yours have a warmer feeling! Well deserved +FAV! (XD)

I don't know how I missed this wallpaper, but fortunately, I saw it and was instantly drawn to it. It's absolutely stunning and I'm very impressed. The colors are amazing and they blend so harmoniously well together. I admire every little detail, your work is very professional and I hope that you do not let your talent go to waste. Thank you for sharing this beautiful wallpaper.

waaaaah simple and beautiful ^^great work love the colors!!!

sugoiii^^ just wonder why he is guy XD, for now i just consider he is girl XD oh btw the scan is also nice...so i faved it both hehe (oh i can't fav a scan,forget^^)

Not that experienced in digital painting?! You can not say that now that you've submitted this. *nodnod*

Anyways, absolutely beautiful work. Everything is amazing though I especially like the hair. The text is a perfect touch.

Again, really beautiful work! +Fav

Very nice! The lots of work you did to this wallpaper turned out amazingly well! It certainly is a fav! Great job on reconstructing the original, yet improving it. I hope this messenger of spring can somehow make the winter go away ^^" I hate when it's cold.. yet I hate when it's hot too..

Good work and thank you for sharing. +fav.

It is very pretty, and I admire the effort it took to create it. I'm just a bit bummed that you didn't take this idea further. It appears to me that all you've done is create a higher quality digital rendering of the scan you found. Impressive, nevertheless, but I would love to see some creativity alongside your clearly advanced skill. Keep up the good work! *faves*

truly amazing job. Color looks perfect! harmony, light, everything looks awesome! You did a really good work with this scan well done mate! congratulations! +favorite

I can pretty much summarize this wallpaper in one word. "Flawless"

*dies from beauty* Ah, Hiiro no Kakera~~ So lovely! I was using an avi I made from this series before...but gawd, your wallpaper is so beautiful! This is going RIGHT ON MY DESKTOP. *__* I love how you vectored the scan. The hair is so pretty, and the shading of his face is so smooth and soft. ♥ I really love what you did. It's so simple, yet it's so perfectly beautiful...ah, wonderful work. *faves*

Great job.... cat's got my tongue... +Fav

this is just beautifull, you seem to be getting better with each new release, digital painting is something i never want to attempt, it scares the sh*t out of me but you seemed to have pulled it of nicely even though this was your first time and what you did to the eye is truely what attracted me to this wall anyway graete job, must fav

ooo, nice! I really like how you used the flower as contrast to bring out the spirit (or w/e it is) behind it. It's also nice how you took all the blue off (the blue on the original scan sorta distracts you), and made it look much more calm. It really captures a spectators eye for another second! Very nice job! +fav

wow! really great what you did there.. the colors are very nice and soft.. keep it up! +fav

I love how it's so soft. ^_^ The warmer colors are better than the scan's I think. I also like how the colors fade to white. The text is very good too, with the little cherry blossom by its side. Great job!

This wall is great as a thumbnail, but breathtaking in full view! I absolutely love the style of this wallpaper and the contrast between the different hues. The wallpaper feels very balanced and serene. Beautiful work!

Hiiro no Kakera!!! < 3
Im really loving this wallpaper. The vector + paint work is excellent. The smooth shading looks lovely and really compliments the softness of this scene very well. Nice work on the text too.

*raises hand* Im a bishie fan! Thanks for the lovely New Year wall. Now this is going straight to my favs and on my desktop! =)

Amazing... You have uncommon sense in creating wall! GREAT!

Amazing!!! Absolutely amazing!

OMG, this is amazing. It's beautifully repainted with high quality. Great job.

+FAV

Realy simple but so clean and beautifull 8)E

for me its a rate SSS wallpaper + Fav for sure P(T_T)

Beautiful work, I love it <3 !!

Faved+

What intensity!

Look at those deep blue eyes. I was surprised when I came back to the Tab that had opened this wallpaper. Waiting for me was this intense contrast in colours. I am biased to black and white wallpapers ((they just rock, lets face it)), and I knew I was going to like this one, but to find such a well picked match to illustrate spring, while using a person as the canvas, you have my applause.

Instant Fav! Download Worthy... so what are you waiting for? Get to it!

Thank-you for your hard work... ^_^

just as amazing as the highlighted

I like the warm hues you added, really makes it better. I haven't been able to find a wall to fav for a very long time... this wallpaper is awesome XD Definitely a +fav

wow so good +fav that's all i can say

wow! Salar-kun! this is awesome! but the messenger of spring looked tainted by winter and bit a flower as he sensed the coming of spring! D: Was that your concept why he's all wintry?

more walls like this! \o/! *faved :)*

this is awesomely beautiful' you did good work with the colors' very nice painting and vector' great job ^_^

fav

While it certainly looks like the scan thanks to your work in it, I must say it was originally as beautiful as it need be. You just turn it more awesome, I guess in a way, I must say I love it, this melancholic feel, the fluttering of hair so natural, the way you have managed to clean it so well... excellent.

Just awesome... I'm overawed by your talent!

great work :D fav

Wow! That was one impressive vector! I love how he look like. It's even more intense than the original scans. And.. the smoothness is so beautiful! Great job!

wow...its simply awesome !! i love the soft design and soft colors there is no much to say ^^^ good work

Nice one!

Vey writhness,but COOL!

wow this is cute he is soo sexy i love the design and the white soft colors i love it.

Masterpiece... So smooth, so emotive, so pleasant to my eyes... So skilled. Fave. Congrats!

This is amazing, i love it!

What could I say? I'm speechless xP There's nothing that can be improved in this wall, it's simply perfect. I love the pastel colours! Amazing job! ;D

Wow! Beautiful! I loved the scan and I love the wallpaper! Fabulous! *.*

Fantastic (XD)

Looks Amazing Cool!!!!

Simply BEAUTIFUL!! 8)E

when i saw this wall i just had to check it out and you have done a awesome job!! great job on the vector and love the colours ^_^

You surely are getting better :3 I like the colours and the smoothness of the paintwork. Great work!

Wohoo ... a really beautiful wallpaper that is. Thought for a second it came from naruto ^^

this is awesome!! i like ur color using ~~~ in ur piece the sakura more outstanding~ this is a lovely piece~~~ thank for sharing~

Simply,well done. Did a good job with sticking to the original scan.Really loving the title you chose for this.

/(O_O)/ I was going to make a wallpaper out of this scan, but you beat me to it o_O It's awesome, really awesome - enough said.

Lol, I'm just joking. How can I end my comment so simply when I see such a great wallpaper? Firstly, your version of the wallpaper looks better than the original scan. I love the softer colors which make the wallpaper look more peaceful. Besides, the painting you did on the hair is just...gorgeous < 3 I love the work you did on the face too - it increases the depth of it and makes the eyes stand out better~ As for the flower on his lips, that's just sexy >3 The text there makes a nice addition to the wallpaper too, and the way you placed it is just perfect, and the flower adds a nice touch ^_^

All in all, this is one masterpiece~ and I'm crazy if I don't fave it.

P.S: Did you do everything with a mouse or tablet? I know I might probably murder my mouse if I had to paint this picture with it >_<

This is very beautiful. I love everything about it. Nothing more to add :)

+fav

It seems so smooth and it's simplicity, make it charming and gives it an elegant feel to it.

I also fell in love with this wall. :3

The guy is simply HOT and you did a good job on him. Awesome! +fave

What a beautiful wallpaper~ I was really attracted the first time I saw the blue eyes of the character! The white background also gives ma a sense of cool~~ I love it!

AWESOME AWESOME paintin' 8)E i love it <3 the colours is sooooo soft and clean ^___^ +fav+download :DDDD

cool

A surprisingly captivating wall. This one is gonna become my spring wallie XD

Beautiful deep bluish tone with one lovely pinky sakura to make viewers speechless ^^

+Fav is a must!!! ^_________________^

This is a gorgeous wallpaper! I love the emotion and excellent choice of text as well. There's nothing I can say about anything bad because their simply isn't any. I love it! <3

Perfect. It's rare to get such a smooth combination of colour shades. Vector is very clean and neat. Good work!

i just saw this wallpaper as one of the day topraterd and ai gotta say, this is really one of the most amazing wallpapers i have ever seen here in animepaper, it so light and full of meaning, it almost have no colours on it but everything on the wallpaper has a meanig, so i gotta say this is really a pul for me, alreay made it my wallpaper here and i am erally loking foward for some of your work yet to be posted here, this is top art and u must always post suff like that one ok:

Gentle shadows in the wallpaper is very natural. White space is clean and silent. They are drawing abstract image of spring season.

awesome work really nice style.

Fell in love with it on MT. Gotta share my love here too <3 Wonderful wallpaper, I love the way you made his face, looks 3D like XD Fabulous!

+fav

Wow, this wallpaper is so amazing! Keep up the awesome work!

I love it specially the colors used

Uhm, may I go out on a limb and ask you what kind of hardware you used to be able to make this one happen? I've been trying to learn for a rather long time, and since you seem to have the experience judging from this piece, I would'nt mind a recommendation.

REALLY REALLY NICE...!!! Uuh.. nice soft shading....

your technic is very good... got any tutorial to share... ~ >:3

+FAVE!

OH MY GODNESS. I have never seen very great wallpaper like this before.

That is cool. but i have never watch that anime lol

But is so beautiful

How can you not be a bishie fan after making such a wall D8 Anyway, I've used the wall as my desktop for a week i think but i was always too lazy to comment. xD So here it is.. GREAT SUPERB BISHIETASTIC WALL!

<3

Undeniably attractive! This is so lovely to the point where I do not know how to put my thoughts into words. I’ll state the incredibly obvious first; it’s very clean yet surreal, I’m amazed at how you’ve managed to recreate this, it’s so damn elegant and intimidating. I need to continue my practice in Photoshop, when I see art such as this; it inspires me to strive higher with my own. I’m more of a free hand drawing person and dread’s that god awful pen tool in photoshop, lol. I don’t know when or if I will ever master the art of vectoring, but seeing your work makes me want to so bad.

This is simply amazing and should be printed on a good quality sheet of paper and then framed. It’s so wonderful to see the improvement of your skills, it’s admirable as well. You are my second challenge but I’m nowhere close to your level so I will continue to polish my skills, and I hope that in time or rather before I start to show wrinkles with some strands of gray hair, I will create something that is worthy to stand alongside your work. I always enjoy seeing your work so please don’t ever stop mastering your skills and showing us your progress.

Amazing job! The only thing I could see that might be a bit off are the highlights are a bit sharp, so it almost looks like he is made of ice. Unless that's what you were going for? But it still looks awesome. All that time, I couldn't even imagine it!

I know you have already read this many times, but this wallpaper is so clean and beautiful X) It doesn't really matter if it's a bishounen or not because this wallpaper is mostly loved for the wonderful job that you've done! But I'm sure glad you used an art style that I like, haha.

There seems to be an extra dot by the bang at the end of his eye. Maybe that's a beauty spot, lol. And this guy sure has eye bags! OK, I'll quit blabbering and fave now ._.

Oh snap. I forgot to comments on this, lol!

I love this scan so much. Awesome how you made his nose a little more defined, it looks really good!

+fav

I love the intensity of his blue eyes they look amazing

Hello hello!

This is pretty 'wow' - I don't think I can even describe the effort and skills put into this wall O_O. Love the text and clear presentation, awesome work!

Oh and also, congrats on your promotion! xD

oh my this is quite nice.. i love this

Beutyful, incredibly beutyful!

AWSOME^^The Flower really sticks out with that colour^^!!!!

Late, but I saw the comment you posted. Glad you like the scan! And your wallpaper is definitely gorgeous in it's simplicity. (Too much can be kind of cluttering :D;;) I like the purplish-pink hues which you added as well. :3

This is a beautiful image and you did wonderfully to capture the white purity of the character. The soft watercolour texture/feel is perfact.

SUGOI SUGOI SUGOI!!!!!!p(T_T)q

is that Sakura a brush or you made it? if it's a brush where did you get it? this wall is awesome just what I need!!!

really really beautiful work...I tried to imitate the style and failed p(T_T)q I'm glad you got it just right! <3 +fav

Sweet!.Awesome wallpaper,quite a unique one in my opinion.You did a great job with the shadowing and all.Lovely details and everything.The flower looks very eye catching and so does the wallpaper :) Fave+

The textures are sharp, but very nice. It looks as if he's a statue.

aweomse vectoring and pinting!

Perfect, I guess the colors you used are way better than the original!! when I saw it while I was browsing, I caught my attention at first nice vector, very well done! + fav

omg epic wallpaper, love it! awesome job dude!

Amazing wallpaper. I fell in love with immediately! It's a fave and he's going on my desktop now! XD

Wow really nice! Love the color and gradients

Really nice & calm =)

dont like at all because have to much the same colorª! srry

Incredibly beautiful wallpaper! +FAV!!

I don't know, who's that, but wall is great at all. :D

Well, the body of the main focus is gorgeously made. I couldn't change anything in it.

But his robe... it's too light, in a bad way. Maybe it's just my taste, but it needs to be darker, and more defined than the rest of the piece you're showing. Here... it's just so... ceramic and... forgive me when I say this but, fake.

The main focus is so beautiful, so defined, so alive. The robe degrades that.

Faved.

(^ 3^)

thank you very much I love the floers, and those delicate colours you used than you again!!

amazing! |(VcV)| love the colors and desighn *____* veryveryvery beaty wall, great job**

-drools at the pretty-

OK, dumbness aside, this is really quite gorgeous. So bright and clear looking. <3

Really Good.

One of the most beautiful walls I have seen. It very clean. The pink sakura and his blue eyes (or should I say eye) pops up. It looks rather simple but it's actually really pretty. It, for me, really brings the message of spring. Love it. <3

It shows the message f spring without actually using a lot of the nature, which is the essence of spring it self.

wow its nice... its look better than the original one

awesome...

Omg...that's amazing. I love the contrast between the greys and then the blossom and his eye. <3 Definitely something to sit and stare at in awe. ^^ Great work.

Utsukushii!

Im definitely not a Bishi-Fans, but this is awesome!

So well done, truly nice.. It's just my 1st impression when Im watched were "Heck, this is so damn nice even looks like bishi.. But why the heck it is written 'Spring' while all I could see was 'Winter'?" Well, thats before I read your inspired line.. >.<

This looks so cool.

Fav!!

Gorgeous wallpaper. Absolutely amazing job!! Love bishie walls. +fave

Very beautiful and serene. ♥

Your work is really fantastic. Soft drawing in the white space is flowing calm and silent atmosphere of spring season.

awesome shading and its rly smooth. goes into my fav's =D

JUst what I needed for spring! Good for desktop & beautiful!

Wow!!~ Stares O.O This is awesome! Hiiro no Kakera 'Messenger of Spring' is soo pretty. <3 ^^ going onto my desktop...and +faves. Keep it up!

Oh my godness, i love the simple and clean of the wall, good job, really awesome

This is one of those wallpapers in which i have no idea who the character is, and yet its so beautiful that I save it without hesitation anyway. Love just that sole accent of colour in the flower, and overall subtle colour scheme used for this! Thanks for sharing this amazing wall and favoriting for sure!

interesting and absorbent O.O good work really good work

WOW!!Great job,i love the color and shadow!!!Thank you!

WOW, the color scheme is amazing!! It really gives the feeling of spring. It would be nice if there's a girl version of this wallpaper with the same color scheme (I am a guy so yeah).

This is a really neat wallpaper. What anime is it from?

haha love this wp! :) feels so comfy looking at it~ and to me, i think i'll LOVE it if the text wasn't there but that's just me :]

Simplistic and elegant in its execution. The fact that the only true color that sticks out in this wallpaper are the character's eye and the sakura flower in his mouth is a testament that you truly know that less is more when presenting an image to art fans. Fantastic work!

I know its meant to be, but i wouldve really loved to see a glimpse of his right eye... aside from that, this wall is amazing! the clothing is shaded at the right places, which makes it fuse very well with the white background. +fav :)

This picture is smooth and gorgeous. It feels like something nice.

Awesome work. The coloring and shading is beautful! The line is smooth and eyecatching.

Nice pic, it'll be my wallpaper...

its so beautiful!!

So cute!!

this is so awesome. i can see why you fell in love with that style and you did an epic job on your own version of it. and i love the color you used on your version(that tint of purplish/violet/pinkishness) truly awesome.

with a flower wow.! that's really great.!

beautiful!!

BEAUTIFUL

awesome i'm gonna use it as wallpaper :D

Nice job :)

o m g ... this is really a job well done!its so finness ♥♥♥ will download, put as my wallie and cover photo for my facebook ! ^_^
