Description... I did so much stuff on this wallpaper.. @_@
Chrome filter to make water, using the liquefy filter to make some swirls and dips. I made rings on the waters surface, and put a rose, and rose petals, which I painted (X__X) from stocks. I snagged the koi from stocks, and painted those too, then added reflections on the water and shadows. I added some extra detail to it by drawing in water droplets on Miku's clothing, hair, rose, and rose petals. Also made the checkers, and changed their perspective with free transform -> Distort, to get the angle right. I added shadows to the floor, and used the maple leaf brush + dodge and burn tool to make the tiles look marbleized (though you can't really tell now.. XD) Then toyed with hue/saturation, and Brightness/contrast to add the final touches. ..I hope I didn't forget to mention anything. @_@
This took me the better part of two days. *dies of hand cramps*
I'M SO BAD AT PERSPECTIVES AND CHECKERED FLOORS. ORZ

It's a girl licking a veggie! :D AHAHAHAHAH Not a fan of the water, it makes me think of liquid metal. +fav 'cause it's generally awesome.

I love the little fishies! You've definitely improved your checkerboard floor concept since your last wallpaper. Love the color scheme, dark but appropriate! The flowers and ripples are awesome too! The lighting in the water is a great touch! You definitely deserve a favorite!

Whoa she is kinda of...smexy..i love the water element you added, the wall is more hot like that i guess...a wet Miku! :p The fishes are kinda hard to see but they give a nice enviroment on the wall and the rose next to Miku...gawd it reminded me of 07-ghost...umm meaning is really cute! +fav it's very very very good...keep up the nice work!!!

You deserve a favorite for the multiple hours it took you to track down the artist name.

LEEEEEEKKK.... *reaches*
Ahhh, the LEEK girl. Brings back memories to my MT searches for Leek!Orihime, baha! XD
Geez, I got swirl-eyed while I got to just the half of your description; you've really put a lot of work into this. I really like the water effects and the koi fishies swimming inside and the overall colors and atmosphere. Awesome job, Bern. :3

Jiiiiiiiiiiii~ I could stare at this forever, it's Miku Hatsune! She is so pretty and so is this wallpaper! Good job!

Amazing compositing, what are the "things" in her eyes?
3 years, 9 months ago
The over all composition makes the scan even more glorified .... *fav for share awesomesause*

I just can't stop staring at her eyes O_O +fav

lovely wallpaper super job on this keep it up LOOK AWESOME
3 years, 9 months ago
I have a hard time not looking at her licking that vegetable. It's... weird. :S
But the wallpaper itself is superb. I haven't seen this kind of compositional quality in a long, long time. It's a definite favourite.
3 years, 9 months ago
Wow, I love the bright blues that you changed to scan to! And the shininess, oh my~! The idea is also very interesting! This has nothing to do with your work, but I really dislike Miku's face >< I'm not sure why, but the more I look at it, the more it irritates me! ><;;
The angles feels somewhat off to me. I think the tiles behind her should become smaller because we're looking at her more from the front than the top. I think!
Oh yeah, great job on the extraction! Great job on the whole!!

how dare you submit a wall when i'm repairing my comp from a virus (yet again).
doncha know you are supposed to wait for my approval before submitting any walls? i can't believe it, i just can't believe it!! the sheer audacity is mind boggling. what's worse is i had to log on to see it TR... ** FREAKIN TR!! **
well i guess all that's left for me to do is critique it after instead of before, and mind you, i'm not gonna go easy on ya. nope not in the least!
ok... here goes. the colors of this wall are just.... uuuh. you know, the kind of uuuh that makes you mess in your pants involuntarily.
the water effects are squiggly and uneven, and all rippled.
the fish in the water are somewhat obscured.
and as for her... well she's shiny.
so all in all it's about right.
ok ok, there are a few things that are a bit off. fish on the right needs a shadow. filter used for the water effects is just a little strong for the style of the wall. her hair and fingernails are flat compared to the rest of her. and her reflection in the water is funky.
i know, the reflection is a *****to do, don't worry about it. and don't worry about the water either, it can be hard to get that right without painting it all by hand.
the honest, serious conclusion of this unnecessarily long comment.
me likey!

That is quite a creepy scan if I do say so myself. O.O I have no idea what those strings coming from her eyes are. Good work on the details and the water effect. It looks great on the thumbnail, though up close the chrome filter is kinda apparent. But who cares XD at least it got the job done. :) Good job!
3 years, 9 months ago
Oh you're finally up with a new wall. And a Miku one too. < 3
I love the colors and the perspective looks pretty ok to me. Though the water could use more watery effects on it. Especially on the right side of the wallpaper. But great work nonetheless. =D
3 years, 9 months ago
As I said on MSN, love the bg and idea. The colors are beauitful and even though the scan is a bit...erotic in it's own special way (lol), it's a really nice blend altogether. Great job Bernly~!

I like this wallpaper. specially for the water and the petals Cool wallpaper

Superb job :D Although that's the oddest pic I've seen of Miku n_n

Nicely done.
It's a bit sad that every time I see black/blue/white tiles I automatically think of Huke. Especially when Miku is thrown into the mix. D:

Wow, been a long time since I commented and faved something on here so I thought I'd start off with the top rated wall at the moment which is no other than awesomest Bern.
This wall is really good and it's still awesome to see that you can crank out these purty looking walls in 2 days but you don't need me reminding you how good of a waller you are. You already know that, if not then I will throw holy water and kittens at you until you do! D:
The roses are a very nice touch and give a nice atmosphere to the whole wall as a general and personally to me, a vast improvement from the stock image. The color of the whole thing is also a very good detail you've added here and adds to the wall as a whole. The only slight negative I can think of has already been mentioned is that you could have emphasized on the water on the right side a wee bit more.
But other than that, it's a great wall and a sure fav from me.
I commented! Looky at me! LOVE ME! O_O
3 years, 9 months ago
amazing work :D kudos for your patience >.< anyway, Miku looks odd? (and ecchi) although there are jagged lines in what she's holding, it doesn't matter because you'll just get drawn at the bg but the water is kinda weird, too much swirly ripples o_o and the koi (half body one) looks weord' i think you should have put a shadow and the tiles should be smaller due to the perspective' butttt...still awesome fav

The water is so badass 0_0 and the fish are so pretty! Everything looks so nice you did an awsome job. :Db
3 years, 9 months ago
I don't particularly like the water texture but since you've used it I think it would look amazing if you painted the water based on it. It would look far more realistic and atmospheric. Other than that, the perspective is ok, the floor does the work and the vector is nice. fuv
3 years, 9 months ago
What a crazy looking scan~ Great extraction - it's seemless. And the perspective is neat! I like what you've done with the water. Good work :)
3 years, 9 months ago
This looks really great! One of the most decent Vocaloid wallpapers I've seen ♥ I'd say that the water has a nice feel to it and the shine in her eyes looks cool! And nice job on the reflection; people tend to forget that water can also be a mirror.
The water droplets were added nicely and the painting of the fishes/floor/petals is flawless. The coloring's really impressive as well :D
3 years, 9 months ago
I lol at the vegetable. I love the changes you made to the lighting and colors. I love the koi as well. The only thing that bugs me about the wall is the water; the idea is cool, but some of the ripples don't really fit in with the style rest of the wall since they look more realistic, in my opinion. But nicely done~
3 years, 9 months ago
AMAZING. I like how the water was done. Looks good. Keep it up

kind of weird girl, but beautiful nonetheless, love the color scheme and the layout, great work.!
3 years, 9 months ago
This is so badass! Instead of licking a gun or a knife she's licking a leek! XD So fun and different. I'm a huge fan of fish so anytime there in a wall I go running for it so you already had my attention right there but once I took a really close look I saw all the detailing and construction, the water drops, the rose petals (which for some reason I thought were ice cubes O,O) the water swirls, and the fabulous girl in the middle with the killer eyes and blue fingernails every thing right down to the colors is perfect. This wall is all ice my friend it's way cool daddy-o XD The hand cramps were worth it, you kicked butt with this wall. A++ and a fav. :P

3 years, 9 months ago
When I see a wallpaper with Miku always wondering to which category goes with the absence of regular Vocaloid category. Well Miku looks a bit not-Miku (guess depends on the art of Maruku) but is fine anyways, the blueish composition goes wll with the standing in water. +Fav

I didn't want to risk my beloved 6666 papers but i think the awesomeness deserves it I'd just like to know why are you licking a leek Hatsune? Honestly.. kids these days
3 years, 9 months ago
oh wow this wall is very eye catching i love the painting its sooo soft >< also the fishes looks so real ! ^^ the water is excellent i`ve never had tried to make this kind of water cause it must be tedious XD. i just think the floor perspective is good but in some way is strange XD but anyways this wall is excellent good work fav
3 years, 9 months ago
You think you are bad with perspective and floors? not really, perspective looks fine given its a tough scan to fit in. The rose in the middle is kinda out of perspective, unless u planned to have a really big rose. I really love the water, fish and floor though. Great wall !
3 years, 9 months ago
Bernnn I love the concept and the colors! o/ You're doing really well at walling. The Koi placement is awesome and the checkerboard is just right imo.
The only things I dun like so much is the slightly visible chrome pattern on the water and the lighting on the rose, but then those things are minor O 3O *reaches down to touch fish and gets bitten*
*bleeds*

hey cori sorry it took me soooo long to comment :/ things have been crappy so i've been hiding..but now on to the wall
i love the colours and the vector is great...i think the koi are amazing ..you're so good at painting from stocks! i think the perspective on the floor is much better this time around so grats!
the funky reflections and swirls i'm not too crazy about but i think the light effects ripples petals and rose are very well done...

Actually I prefer the explicit artwork by Maruku. Anyway, this is not bad, I love how you focused on the eyes, making them brighter, same with the water thing. That reduces the sensual sense of the image, this time, just this time, for good.

Awesome wall! I wonder what she's licking though (o.O)
