My First wall Fresh out of Session Zero! and fourth but most presentable vector so far A week before I made this wall, I swallowed up my pride and tried out a deviantART vectoring tutorial by donbenni(to which I am forever indebted) I vectored this Enma Ai scan, as well as the window, blinds, suspended tatami mat, and all the other BG objects. I did some brush&smudge painting for the Kois' shadows, and on the 'red' sun to give the wall an illogically surreal feel. - CRITIQUE[good or bad] IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED - Edit: Anyone here who's heard the first season's opening theme,"Sakasama no Chō" (逆さまの蝶, The Inverted Butterfly) by SNoW? I for one absolutely love that song. I therefore renamed the wallpaper to Sakasama no Koi ' (whose English translation is "The Inverted Koi"). I inverted an aspect of this wall:The position of the three circling Koi. By the laws of Space, one should logically deduce that Ai is watching three Koi located at the bottom left . But since I'm such a huge fan of the Surrealists, I reflected the Kois. 2 reasons for this: 1) to hide the fact that I was spacially challenged with this wall and 2) to feebly illustrate the title. I wanted to highlight that the three circling Koi in the wall symbolize Ai's seemingly endless cycle as Hell Girl . I also wanted the sharp contrast of the Kois' tranquility (a supposed result of the inversion) to support the text, which are actually intro lyrics of M2M's "Mirror, Mirror":
Mirror, Mirror, lie to me - Show me what I want to see... 2x
the cube is actually skewed a bit so...close enough

Amazing. I absolutely love it. Very dark. The colour contrast with the eyes and the red is glorious. I also enjoyed the extra attention put into the text. Defiantly going to be my desktop for a long long time.
PS. I liked it so much I went out of my hermit ways and actually posted something (9+_+)

The wall could be a little lighter so we could actually see what the wall is all about... I do like the composition of it and the text^^ The eyes are also really nice :)

I didn't want to scratch your Guestbook, so I'll quote you instead~ (_/).. Thank you so much for the +fave and compliments! You've made my Ap welcome warmer than I expected~ Have you checked out the Textless Version then? The calligraphy fonts I used were 'Platthand Demo' and 'Schoon', and the serif font is the timeless 'Trajan Pro'~ And thank you for your Ap support! We are able to wall because of people like you! .(n_n).

I'm a little late but I just wanted to say that this is a great first wall~
Welcome to the AP community and congrats on getting your wall accepted into the gallery.
You've got an eye for shadows and balances and I must say for your first time vectoring, you've done an exceptional job. Keep up the good work and I'm hoping to see more from you :)

Really cool wallpaper................... This wall just really simple................. Keep up the good work!!!

I have to say this is quite a nice wall, especially considering it's your first one! The vector work is very professional, it's muted and soft without any of the jagged lines one might expect from a relative newcomer to vectoring. I do agree that it's a bit on the dark side; which isn't necessarily a bad thing, it's just that the darkness detracts from all the lovely details in the wallpaper. Normally darkness is trying to cover up for lack of skill; you've got plenty of skill, let it show! Great wall, I look forward to seeing more from you!

I love it when wallpapers have lyrics on them. (: I didn't even see that you wrote they were M2M's lyrics. ^^ I just looked at the lyrics and immediately that song came to my head. :D

I love the way everything else is covered in darkness, leaving only her face in light. Adds more focus. Nice one!

Very dark, but very awesome! If my computer weren't so sucky and had resolutions above 1024x768, I would totally use this for my personal wall, I love it! Definite fav, then when I get a better machine I'll be able to find it again to use on the desktop. Great job, especially for a first--I like it a hell of a lot more than my first |(n_n)|

payter kaayo bay, vectored halos tanan. I don't have the patience to do that.
Deserves a +fav.
And you managed to put a meaning behind the wall. Added depth deserves another +fav.
Is this your first vector? +fav na pud. Idol kaayo bay, apir!

Nice concept. XD I read the 'author's comments' and I really liked what the kois symbolize. I also like what you did with the letter M in the mirror mirror text. :D

Added to favs~ I love how it has that very dark and sad look. The eyes of Emna really pop out~ But I do think the text was a bit much~
