I've been wanting to use this Amano piece for a while now. Thanks to DREAM for the scan. This wall was a good break from vectors. All I used was a couple of stocks from sxc.hu to create the textures and brushes...and decided to keep things minimal, merely adding texture to the background.

You are making yourself out to be one waller to watch out for. This wall is very refreshing for me because it's very unique and I like the style that you were going with. I don't think I've seen it that recently so thats a good thing. The only issue I do have with this wall is the fact that you decided to opt out of adding text to this wall. I think text used in the right way would really tie everything in this wall together and bring it to an even higher level than it is now. Nevertheless that was your choice to make and the wall doesnt suffer at all because of it.

It's very clean and simple, although I don't know about the mirror effect on the side, maybe like w00tazn said you could replace it with some text?

Really beautiful Yoshitaka Amano art! And all the quality is really good. The copy beside it makes it look like a mirror or a window of some kind, looks quite interesting. Nice work!
7 years, 4 months ago
Hah, oi. I forgot the window was open. . . -___-.
It's quite the calming wall. I like the shadow of a face the best, I think. I almost want to agree with w00t on the text idea, because I love words, but somehow I don't think that's what it needs. It does feel a bit empty on the right though, like it's wanting for something and not getting it.

Holy freaking crap this is gorgeous! I don't think I have seen a more classy wallpaper since I joined here at animepaper :) A spectacular job and a definite fav from me :D

A very nice wallpaper, but I would get ride of the second, lower-opacity copy of the character image to the left, it's just distracting more than anything else.
7 years, 4 months ago
Luv the minimal feeling [<3 minimalism] nw =]
7 years, 4 months ago
Nicely done :D This is one of the best Amano walls I've seen! ...yah I'm not quite sure about text but I do agree with Gideon that it seems like there's something missing from the right. *hugs* VERY classy though, and a nice change to see from your usual style :3

Elegant and simple yet her stare and the contrast of her outfit to the mild background has such an intensity. Turly lovely. I love the multiple placements of the single image and the sketchy ink version of it shadowing the original. Truly beautiful. Wonderful job.

Beautiful wallpaper here ^^ The atmosphere to the wall feels really "scary" but in a good way ^^ I guess its the eyes of the woman ^^;;
The wallpaper looks mysterious but beautiful at the same time ^^ Great job Wonderful job on the wallpaper ^^ Keep it up ^___^b Hope to see more! =3

i like the divisions in the wall, it sorta makes it look like paper or something.
7 years, 4 months ago
Very nice, so pretty and clean!I love it.
7 years, 4 months ago
WOW! Amano art! anyways, the wall is really nicely done. I really like the minimalistic approach. the only thing I don't like is the second image on the left. I think I would prefer one main image. though the sketchy version behind the character is amazing! and for such a great wall, I must fave it!

this wall is so wonderfully elegant. I love the subtle hues. It is just perfect to stare at.

Lovely. :)

Yoshitaka Amano's art is hard to wall because it's so abstract, but you managed it perfectly. :D I especially like how clean it all is-- the stark lines, the paleness of the secondary image.
*smiles* There's something dark about it, yet so unbelievably clean. It's things like this that make my desktop very happy. XD

very cool wallpaper ^^

I like this pic. To me it seems like such an evil stare, quite beautiful. The background is nicely made, love how you made the reflection of herself. Really cool work.

fitting of amano's work nice.
7 years, 2 months ago
supeerb! the contrast of the girl'n the background is cool.. very clean wall. Yoshikata Amano's works are kind of barroque.. and abstrac sometimes.. but this is perfect for a wall xD
7 years, 2 months ago
It's a truly beautiful piece--- gotta love that Amano. I think this one really works well with the minimal effects. Too much background might have distracted from the figure, who's beauty, I think, lies in her simplicity mostly. I definitely have to +fav it and I'll probably be using it on my desktop soon enough. XD

The simplicity of the colors and the scan make it very elegant. Great job!
7 years, 2 months ago

7 years, 2 months ago

I adore this wallpaper.
This is one of my favorite Yoshitaka Amano images, and you've turned it into a very stately wallpaper.
I realy like the minimalistic look, it plays well with the original scan, which is a very simple painting to beging with, especially by Amano standards. An overly complicated background would not have looked right.
I like to textures you used, along with the color you used for the bg gives the feeling that the image is printed on rice paper, or very fine stationery.

The lady looks really wicked (",) Although I love her eyes expression: something like 'I'm coming for you...' XD Also the background is done perfectly. Great job, keep it up!

i love this wallpaper , thanks!

This is one of those many instances where the thumbnail doesn't do the original work a lot of justice. I love this image, it's probably my favorite of Yoshitaka Amano. The duplicity theme works well here, it doesn't usually but in this case it doesn't detract from the image having it appear twice. This is a really lovely.

beautiful...u make the yeres
5 years, 10 months ago
gorgeously scary... awesome. n i never thought someone would pick a dragonfly instead of butterfly, but it looks more great. the mirror effect is my fave part too. great job^^
5 years, 9 months ago
Awesomest, not only as wallie. You made elegance even more elegant ^^ I can just imagine how this lady stands in a gorgeous room in Paris with marble, wall-filling mirrors, and one of those huge windows to the right. Her eery eyes just add to the allure.
Nothing is missing, nothing is superfluous. Gorgeous!

whaaa, you love your papers
5 years, 2 months ago
I may be late but this is my first time ever seeing this picture. You did a good job with the reflection and back ground. The picture is beautiful yet.....malignant all at once making it that much more fascinating. (9+_+) I love this art style, but for the life of me I can't remember the name of it. This is my first favorite. #.(n_n)
