Serial Experiments Lain E N I G M A T I C

Woah! you always amazes me with your painting wallpapers =D This one is also great , I like her hair a lot and her eyes are so catchy, Keep it up~

Nice, it's definitely 3D. Which just reminds me anime faces should never be 3D due to general creepiness ;_; Well done overall :3

As for crits, her face should be a lot smoother than it is, the unevenness in her jaw and cheeks makes her look bumpy and a bit like dough compared to the rest of the picture.

amazing.....

i'm with no words

Your paintings are brilliant! Really love this one... especially the eyes... you feel like they could see right through you. +

Wow great work on creating a 3D look from a 2D image. *___* I really love the detail in the hair and the colors used on it. But i have to agree with Nat on the face part. It would've been nice if you could make a smoother shape for her face. It just looks kinda bumpy at the moment. Everything else looks great as it is though. Even the blurred background looks great here, and i love the text work in this one too. =)

Great job with the painting, + fav

D it's nice how the art style fitted with 3D as well as 2D the color use is so pretty :33 alright complaint time 1. i'd perfer her with more hair on the top left and bottom right 2. ;A; sashi her face outline is so uneven >>>> bumpy face it's quite nice though how u made a pretty dull scan into something interesting

Another nice painting :D The hair looks awesome...but,I wish you made her eyes with some kind of red glow,like in the scan..it would look creepier that way,and much more likable for me,hehe... Also,the mouth look too dark to me...

And actually I love the skin and the uneven edges of it ^^' +fav

Almost better than the original! Or should I say, better than the original! :D You did it well. It should be very hard to change a 2D scan to a 3D. :) Good job! :)

I knew that I did the right thing when I clicked the thumbnail to view this, indeed this is one righteous Yoshitoshi ABe wall! At first I thought you were walling Rakka (because of the feathers) but I then I saw that the series was SEL.. am a bit disappointed but even so I can't deny the exquisite craftsmanship of this wall. Deserves a fave increment, hear hear!

Another lovely paint job from you! Her hair and eyes look awesome compared to the original scan. Her face does look a bit bumpy and all but since it's a paint job, it kind of goes well with it. Nice work! :3

i like the pianting and mood of the walls but like most have said her face is kinda bumpy and that compromises the feel of the wall. i have no painting skills what so ever so i cant tell you how to fix it but if you could i would love to see it

I love it! I love it! I love it! this is definitely a HUGE improvement from the scan! I love you for making this wallpaper *gives you a box full of chocolate* it should be featured!

lain's one of my favorite anime characters and her eccentricity can be mistaken for creepiness... she looks awesome in this wallpaper |(VcV)|

How do you keep pushing out great walls on a regular basis? You've drastically improved the scan and the wallpaper does feel 3D-ish and as Nat said, a little creepy. XD It's not a bad thing at all because it fits the wall.

I also like the wall feels similar to other your walls because your work has that sense of spirit, almost like we could feel your artistic license on it when we view it which is an amazing feat. I also seriously love the typography on this, it's almost like you know what kind of font is perfect for every wall. Awesome job. =)

Nice. I'm +faving this one... because here you improved the scan and made it (due to higher contrast) a lot more dramatic and - as the other commentors stated - creepy even. What I still don't like about your wallpapers is the heavyily blurred background .. but other than that they are always perfect :).

Good work and thanks for sharing, +fav. dS.

The best wall from SEL I've ever seen! Seriously. :D Definitely fav~

Lol....this one scares me a bit...it's so real >.< ...ph3r.

I love your painting style. So many good wallpapers, and I can always tell when it's your work. The 3D feel is stunning, so yes -- you did an amazing job. The 3D feeling doesn't bother me one bit.

I have a question about the eyes. I'm curious as to why you didn't keep the red from the original scan. As for the hair, why did you remove the braid?

Again, great work!

p.s. Did you paint your Red Juice avatar?

I agree with Nat that the nose and chin could have used a little more smoothing out. However I think you did a fabulous job on the hair.

this painting looks lovely! i love how you did her eyes it looks so pretty <3 and it does look better than the original scan ^^

Mmm, nice job turning the original scan into this. It looks great~ I think the general comment that the 3-Dness of anime characters is odd to look at (especially since she looks like a deer-caught-in-headlights in the scan) but still, you've done a nice job with it. Good work :)

i love the colors but i think it woul dbe so much more dynamic with slightly cleaner lines around the eyes nose and mouth. I also really think her hair needs to be highlighted more, its a bit flat right now but still a great job <3

I love it! Very nicely painted. I've never seen anyone do something like this with a scan before, at least not that I can recall. I am very impressed. My only complaint is your type treatment. It's ugly (I couldn't come up with a delicate way to say that). The larger E and C, with the E turned backward and the sideways and oversized M... it's just ugly and it flies in the face of the soft and delicate nature of the rest of the wall. Change that type treatment. Do something... else. *faves*

Yes all the flaws... But the eyes... If anything just her eyes... If anime characters were brought to life, they would be THIS creepy. Let's hope they stay 2D. 0__o

I gives you a cookie because it's freaky and I can scare small children with it.

This is the best lain wallpaper I've ever seen! Setting as desktop now!

The background has an ingraspable, but nicely colored touch to it, it looks something that really is in that world. The character is looking very good, she fits to the background well. The title says it all, nice wallpaper.

It's really beautiful. The cheeks are a little bumpy but it's ok ^^ +fav

You never cease to amaze me Sash with your great painting walls! XD It more softer compared to the original scan, but agree the face needs to be more smoother around the edges but other than that nice job on it +

You did a great job. Love the hair and the eyes. Maybe her chin needs a bit more work, i suppose (o_o) . But great overall, favie.

Your painting is amazing as ever<3 I think it's better than the real scan

I haven't commented here in ages, but this is definitely something worth looking at. Especially from what it originally looked like. Amazing work~!

Wow! Great wall!

wow awesome repainting and making it 3d O_O its really cool and i love the eyes <3 +

Whoooa. THis is incredible, so emotive, so creepy, so alive ! You are a great Waller.

(Fave.)

I think it's great! the eye's are very good. and i like the hair^^ if this is the wall that completely killed your hand, then it was worth it!! haha!! XD i love it Sash!! Great job!!!

Really amazing. The details are very nicely done, and I did take a look at the original scan... wow. =] Thank you.

THAT'S ABSOLUTE F***ING GENIUS!!! TOTALLY ROCKS!

Very good job on the hair and depth in this, +fav and a great job ^_^

I love the color theme, and your painting on high level as usuall, for sure this is amazing wall. Fav of course

nice painting!!

NICE...AND AWESOME WALLPAPER..LOVE THE COLOR

nice wallpaper! from the scan to your wall, you just made great changes, mainly with her expression, going to a "dark" picture to a "mysterious" wallpaper.

Gooooood

Simply a brilliant wallpaper I just can not imagine amount of work you must of when though with this!! :D

I know this is months late, but I can't believe I didn't see this Lain wall! It's so beautiful! Like beautiful in a creepy, dark way. It's amazing. I SO envy your painting skills~~ You really made her 3D...the original scan is so flat and plain, and yet you added so much dimension with the colors, shading, and detail in her hair! Just wow. I wish I could do this. >.< Great job! *faves*

wow is enigmatic oh is great (o_o)

Not a big fan of your style, but this one is win 83 The way you kept focus on face comparing to rest makes a nice effect. And it's Lain <3

Awesome like always!! 8)E

The eyes look a little funky, but otherwise the painting is great! But it's no complaint now that I compare the original image. wow. You did an amazing job at creating this masterpiece outta that. Ha ha, awesome.

Another great wallpaper by Sashinka :D Awesome!

One of my favourite wallpapers. Great job!

Wow! This painting is amazing, and the anime is great too! +
