A Heart Under the Blade

I wish the blood splattered shared the same glow/gradient as the red text in the background. Dunno if that would have been too much (currently squinting to imagine) but yea...

Pretty. What's wrong with nudity? It wouldn't be a first and this IS an art community. Also I have someone telling me that if the nipples aren't colored, it doesn't count as nudity. Now I am having a fight with him...

i'll just post no comment about the nudity and on the the technique stuff :D nicely done smooth vector ~ i think more big blobs of blood behind her would add to the effect, since i can't help but feel there just isn't enough blood behind her and i find the way the blood's cut off on the sides are a bit weird, but it's that's the style u were going for then it's fine :3

maybe nudity is some art but maybe not, who cares great job with this wall, though i think that (sorry) her nipples there is unnecessary

Really cool. I like the color scheme and the vector, they are really good. The blood looks good too.

The only thing I would have changed, if it were me, is that I would have made a vector of loli Shinobu...haha...it looks great though!

But yeah, the nudity really should be a non-issue in the wallpaper. It is completely clear that the nudity is of an artistic nature rather than sexual. And for Bob's sake in most countries, that kind of nudity is seen in TV commercials and magazines and no one thinks anything of it. A breast or a nipple are not inherently sexual. There are wallpapers with material much more offensive material than this, so if anyone gives you trouble, I got your back!

COOL!

So fresh and I love the concept! I agree about the splatters on the side, but other than that I love it! I love her arm resting on the text, gorgeous effect. Great job, kudos. :D

H e _ t _ i .............

cool work....

The quality of the vector is excellent.

The blood gives a good perspective to the wallpaper.

Already in my desktop.

fav.

There's so much to love about this wallpaper! The typography is brilliant, lovely gradient on the red and a perfect font. Love how clean the image is, nice subtle difference between the white of the background and the cream of the character. Great blood splatter effect too. Fantastic wallpaper! I would give you 100 favorites if I could! XD

Nice to see you back isteb ^_^ Its a very cool wall (ignoring the nudity) nice work on the vector and like the design concept too!! +

awesome |(VcV)| I love it! it's very well made ^^

Wow, wouldn't have guessed that this is from Bakemonogatari XD I love the simplicity and the idea with her resting her hand on the text XD

+fav

The vector's clean and smooth for a nudity vector. I would say that nudity is also considered art, seeing ancient art with lots of them. The blood splatter looks nice on her hand, and the text is a nice one too. Nicely done!~

well chosen fonts for text, really nice. Blood plots are really nice and here bloody hand is good.

My only comment on it is her legs that seems quite... flat let's say.

Nice and bloody! As you (and kuryuki) pointed out, the blood does look like it's been cut off at the sides, but it's fixable. XD

I like the colors and the way it seems like her hand is leaning on that text. Awesome wall! :)

So very sexy, i would darken the background as too much white will take focus on the girl.

A very interesting (and no doubt, eye-catching) concept indeed! From the blood splattered background to her arm resting upon the text. Nicely done. I haven't seen any particularly impressive walls recently, but this wallpaper is one of those which I simply cannot say no to.

Favey~ :D

The vector is good, the background is somehow empty, but i guess the blood make it isn't empty when you looking at it! Everything is well made, but i'd like to see the original scan if you don't mind? =^^= keep up.

wow i like the title XD !!! and i like how you give the yellow in the hair ^^ good work

I usually don't like the combination blood + nekkidness, but your wall actually really captured my interest. =) I like what you did with the arm over the text and the vector looks really good. And as other ppl said, the thing with the blood is fixable, so it's no big deal.

I like this a lot. It's very smooth and crisp, and extremely simple in design. I don't really have any big crits about this, as you seem to have pulled off what you intended very well, and you already know what the mistakes are. Anyway, good job, ^_^

not sure how i feel about your color coordination here--shes a bit too gray against that white background and the lack of highlighting on her makes it hard for her to blend. hair is rather jagged and the shadows just dont seem to fit and, well, the all red hand doesnt look appealing. the blood is just a bit much and you cant tell where its coming from--i like how you did the blood in your previous Baccano! wall it seemed more focused and deliberate. i like what you've done with the text but again i just feel that you usually do much better with color coordination. i certainly think this has potential to be a really great piece.

Oh I love this one! >< the red color with it being all white, is such a cool look! Very nicly done!

The girl's nude with clean vector and color and red bloodprints in the wallpaper is flowing ironic and strange feelings. Her white skin is not only clean but also cold. She may be the goddess of the blade.

lately there have been too many wallpapers with naked anime......it's somewhat started to become boring.....nevertheless you(generally speaking) don't have to make a wall which contains nudity so that people would admire your work more....

AAHH IT'S A BAKEMONOGATARI WALL but it's so ecchi.. I am for the awesome color choice and powerful typography though and the lineart is flawless~ I'm guessing you used lineart brushes again. The perspective of her pose speaks adequately for the sense of depth but personally I wish there were more gradients (also to sheild my eyes from the blatant bareness) Anyways am glad to see another wall from the great isteb!

I was waiting to see the final version but now I'm very disappointed. There are a lot of blemishes on the left side. I was hoping to fav it but now, maybe not... edit again please (with more EFFORT)?

this is shinobu-chan i dont know xD (well i dun think she already used that name anyway :p) well the concept is simple and it works somehow

i might think that she hold intestines xD

:) simple yet intriguing! I don't feel that this is nudity at all for some reason and you are in NO need whatsoever to get the "banhammer'

huwaaaaaaaw!!!!

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice....

nudity? hmmm... its not offensive so I think its a non issue lolz

Beautiful wall. But I would prefer it if she weren't naked, to tell you the truth, haha...

Oh the awesomeness Love how she's leaning on the text

I'm glad you posted this piece. I think it's a good example of how white can be non-neutral and empty when used in the right way. I especially like your use of text. Nice work :)

well.. never thought shinobu look alike adult..but it's Ok for Me, Nice simple color..without too much word to description it..it's so simple

This is such an awesome wall. It fits well with my tastes

wow really good!! thanks for the wallie kababayan!

such sexy and hot** realy awesome work**

Nice, very nice ( []-[])9

Oh very good, looks like if someone throw her to the wall and the blood is from her, is that thing her intestines? xd Shinobu looks very older here.

Wow, this one's nice :D :D :D It's really edgy with the nakedness and blood :)

i love Bakemono gatari

yellow & red & white .. good

A really clean vector. The blood splatter look fine to me =] This is the first time i seen something this expose in AP haha

hum ,I Love |(VcV)| |(n_n)| |(VcV)|

Great work!

Even if the blood work took you a mere moment, it looks good.

And this "Nudity" is tolerable imo. Just outlines and no specific details... Pure artwork to me!

Sexy... Very cool and nice vectoring on this wallpaper...

Not familiar with this character but it looks very cool. This will be my new background.

very beautiful wallpaper,good job.

Wow , Shinobu is sexy ,but she's little one girl kawaii more

nudity is a work of art and there is nothing wrong with that. when looking at it from a art perspective the grayer skin contrasting to the white background and the eye glow is matched with the shino font is very much a treat. to me this wallpaper gives me a beautiful but deadly theme (if you get what I mean).

looking it from a 19 year old perspective i say WOOT!

AWESOME!!! Well done with the color and overall composition.

Wow! I love it! 8)E 8)E

nice

awesome concept :) realy nice wallpaper. I like it =)

wow too sexy,but i llike it .THX

shinobu wallpaper is wonderfull thanks for sharing

er..... that is so bloody

Looks really good. nothing wrong with nudity but (i don't mean to sound like a perverted girl) i think something is missing around the boobs... (-_-)

Love her face expression, and the colour of her hair. It is debatable if the picture would've been better with or without the nipples or if the nipples should have been coloured or not, personally I find this great. Really good work.
