My animepaper debut! I'm technically not new to making walls (I've been quietly making them for myself for a few years), but then I stumbled on this site and I love it, so I figured I'd give it a try. I am, however, still new to vectors, so apologies for little mistakes. I'm still fine-tuning myself. :P
I got the idea for this wall when I saw the amazing monochrome walls by Deto15. I was extremely inspired. I was also conveniently watching Toradora! at the same time (little side note: I was somewhat bored by the first episode when I first watched it, but I gave the series another try and HOLY CRAP I'm freaking addicted as hell. It just keeps getting better and better). I then went scan-sifting and found this really striking one that I knew I had to go with.
Specs: - Time: not quite sure... It was done over the span of a few weeks (I'm lazy AND a college student; what can I say?), but I pulled a 7-hour marathon today if that gives you any idea. XD Maybe 13-14 hours total? - Layers: 4 main ones with several sub layers and about 300 shapes. - Fonts: Impact, Alte Haas Grotesk- Hardest part: figuring out which parts of the faces to put in shadow (and Ryuuji's blasted left eye) - Easiest part: the sunburst :3
Vector is by me, obviously. About the text; I'm a text-whore, so I feel like my walls are empty without text. Sorry if that bothers anyone... I can make a textless version if that's the case. And I just made up the phrase because it really suits the characters (they get let down so much, but they're hangin' in there) and it fits the sunburst.
Thanks for your time, and I hope you like it!

Contrast of black and white is very strong. It is drawing her high pride and confidence as a little tiger.

Hmm...It's not bad. However, the text is kinda an eyesore. Perhaps if you line the text parallel to the sun's rays...but, the the heck? Good job!

I think this wall is quite nice....some of the lines are a bit jagged,I think you should fix it...also,the yellow's kinda killing my eyes...I know that supposed to be the sun,but it would look much better if it was a setting sun,like orange or a tad darker yellow... Good effort,though...

This is a cool wall and a great example of how much artistic license can be taken when vectoring a scan. While the colors are almost blindingly painful (not sure I could stand having this as a wall for too long...), I love this unusual monochromatic scheme.
One suggestion: while there's a lot of interest in the shadows (they can be large, small, detailed, etc.), the contour itself is fairly homogenous. As in, when we see the line by itself (e.g. her fingers, his/her hair), it has generally the same width and doesn't change in thickness. To add additional interest, I'd vary this line a lot; maybe making the area around knuckles or fingernails thicker, or making clumps of hair start out thicker and be thin by the end of the strand.

It is good-looking in black and white

cool! though I feel that the yellow highlights may have been too much. there's already too much yellow, and black/white already makes for a good contrast.
lavet. three stars and a sun!
