Beyond The Blue Moon
Ahem, i thought of making a wall and submitting on my birthday!! Woot~ And yeah, i never thought i would be able to submit it today, i had lots of troubles and if it wasn't for the help of Card, Aimi and StormFangs i won't even be able to submit it today, and my wall won't even be this! >;3
Ahem, here's how it went: Beware: Long road of text Ahead
I was actually planning to wall this long ago but iwas too lazy to start but yeah, as you could see in the original scan, she's wearing a different kimono, i was too lazy to use pen tool for it and looked for a nice kimono pattern, and yep, the zip file was around 50+mb, although thanks to it i had a better result, i read many tutorials for vectoring and i hope this one is good enough..
Yep, i did not use the filling method, or whatever it is, anyways, music kept me going! >:3
Here is where you could see the difference between the original scan and the result...
Here, hmm, is the Torii Gate or The gateway to a Shinto shrine, emm i vectored it and found this stock on devart..
This wall is dedicated for those people out there whose birthday is on May!! one of them is:Aimi --- May 25Card --- May 28 Be sure to greet them on their birthdays!!! And me tooo!! (XD)

Really nice vector, and really nice background. Love the colors and the glow. Really nice job, and Happy Birthday? If it is today. haha

I don't see the eye's white zone, the scan doesn't have this?, for all the other parts, the wall is really very good, nice painting and color, kimono is the best. Keep with the great job.

ah guess my pm got to you too late anyways, i like the change in the grass although im not a fan of the filtered sky, it doesnt really mesh with how everything else has been made. about the gate, its a good idea but the perspective is wrong, maybe flipping it, not s ure how to alleviate this problem also the painting is too warm for the colors of the vector imo. the vector itself it pretty nice but the lineart could be improved, stroke outlines ftl ==". but anyways about the jaggedness, i think its some effects that you put over the lines so to avoid this i always put my line layers on top of everything else. she is a bit too pink and like someone else mentioned the whites behind her eyes are missing. and the text needs to go >_>but either way i think a little more practice and you are on your way to making awesome walls :D

Vitaamin said all the things I was going to say before I saw the post. I just wanted to mention that I really hope you fix those mistakes, because this could be an excellent wallpaper if you'd taken the time to look it over one last time to fix all of the problems.

Great job!|(n_n)| I have that scan you used. I love how that gate looks in the background. My only grievance is there's no full screen version other then that its a beautiful wall.

I also agree with vitaamin... I like the wall,but if you could fix those small faults,this would be a fantastic wall :)

i think you need to fix the jagged lines, it's really catch my eyes, and beside the perspective and the lost white area in her eyes, the shade on her face also bit weird,it's like she got fever or something XD but nice job overall^^

Good work really pretty, scan is good but quality would be a bit better black lines on face its a flaw if this will redone it would look really nice, background is nice, and atmosphere is really warm, i like it.:)

Oh hai... Here's my birthday gift: I downloaded your wall (all resolutions!) even though I'm using a 4:3 monitor.
And a +fav, because I love Kannagi.

Ah..it's here :p Hmm..well I dunno what else to say since all the other people already said a lot XD Good work Mimi! If you want to make it better then you should probably follow their suggestions XD
Anyway, thanks for the announcement of my birthday lol XD

Nice background, Love the colors and the glow, nice job!

First Happy Birthday to them =D and second your new wallpaper is great, well done =^^=
4 years, 4 days ago
lol i love blue and your wall really caught my attention ^^ the grass is amazing (i learn a new form to make them (_/).. ) the perspective is absolutely amazing good work this wall is very very good
4 years, 4 days ago
I'm biased. I love Nagi. I love Kannagi. I'll fave it.
but yeah..it's really rushed, it has the potential of being an SSS wall since you've reached your deadline of "upload this on my birthday" go make revisions and look into what's really wrong and missing
yay you used the title I gave! thanks!
P.S. my birthdate is May 28 ^^

Good work on the wall and love her kimono though there are some areas that need improving especially the grass which have vert sharp ends, other than than great work on the vector

Don't know what the first version looked like since I didn't see it but this one looks very pretty!
Although something is missing there (dunno, maybe the light of the moon a bit more or more depth to the sky and grass) and there are some jagged lines on her outlines and the grass (try using Gaussian blur to about 0.2-0.3, it helps sometimes) it's nice and blue and spiffy. Good job overall! :)

Pwetty. 8D I agree with the others, the grass should be un-sharpened a little so it doesn't stand out that much. And also, the glow of the fireflies blind my eyes. D: I like the title tho. It's beautiful and gives off a mysterious atmosphere kind of thing. And the all-blue theme is great. I can't wait to see your upcoming walls (:

I love the grass, and the blue really really caught my attention. (: Good job. ^^

Gorgeous wallpaper, though there are so many jagged lines... lines as a result of resizing is one thing, but yours are more eye-catching. But everything else is beautifully done... the kimono you did is so much prettier~

It is a really beautiful wall, I think everything is pretty much perfect (the colour composition, the glow etc.) but the jagged lines...oh nevermind, jagged lines are hard to get rid of anyway :)

Congrats! It's definetely a Favorite (capital letter).

oh the jagged ness seem to be gone the scenery is indeed beautiful however the lines at her chin seems really shaky
4 years, 3 days ago
Beautiful wallpaper. I love the design on the outer clothing. I find the grass to look odd and would like you to change it.

I have to say I luv your technique. It's very sophisticated and smooth. I am very impressed whit how you blended the blues together, they all look so seamless. +Fav

Great job! She looks so graceful in this wall; she looks like a spirit walking under the moonlight. Only thing that bothered me was her eyes; I think you should have kept the original color on it, but that's just matter of personal tastes. The vectoring you did is very clean and nice :D The moon looked like it didn't really belong in the wall. Maybe it's because it's not vectored like the rest? ^^; I like the night sky. The stars look very cool. Well done :D

Very nice wall! .(n_n).

The wall is very good. It shows that this shrine maiden is one of serenity. The moon helps create this feel to it as well as the stars. I like that it is more geared to the night.
