( []-[])9 It's done! See PROCESS PIC please

1600 x 1200 version here

First and foremost, I owe the realization of this wall to my VMP sensei, Nysha, who through her patience, was able to teach me the basics of VMP. Without her, I can only dream of painting a T2 work.

Several months ago, I saw this image of Hitagi in one of the scans of Tony Taka's works here in AP. Back then, I didn't know anything about vectoring let alone vector mask painting. But, I wanted to wall that image so badly. It took me months before I was able to acquire the skills to do so.

As a surgeon, I really admire the way T2 portrays the female physique. And that scan proved it. After a lengthy discussion with Nysha on VMP basics. I tried my hand at the wall. I tilted the image to make the subject have two focal points at an oblique orientation, making the viewer focus at the face and the "ehem" of Hitagi (which is, by the way, a very, very lovely piece of work). Everything was done from scratch. I painted the subject based on VMP and was very happy on how I can manipulate colors non-destructively. The background was a concept given to me by my subordinates at work. I made it white so that it'll look "dream-like" just like what they do with Bakemonogatari scenes. Finer details were also added to make her look really sexy (note the smiling face or the nail polish or the underwear wrinkles)

I want to thank my mentor, Nysha, for teaching me VMP. Without you, this will just be another concept wall that never materialized. Thanks so much. I hope you like this! |(n_n)|

WOW! I just HAD to SEE this. LOL. The vector, gradients, and the simplicity of this wall is FTW. <3 <3 <3 I'm not really fond of the BG though. Anyway, **goes back to DROOL**

Ahh nice... I had this image in mind for a very long time - till I had to cancel my thought, because of the lack of time.

I love the foreground and how you put her into the background by turning her and the background as well and keeping it all as simple as possible, yet interesting.

In my opinion this one really deserves a +fav :D. dS.

edit: I just saw your signature - amazingly integrated into the wallpaper and not annoying at all. You could have improved the lines around her mouth though .. they look a bit odd.... other than that: simply wow and I'd double-fav it if I could.

Epic title is epic xD

Nice vector, too. I only miss some hard shadows from the character, scissors and background.

Hahaha the title. XD Nice, the changes you made to the composition really work, with her slanted and all, making more of her the main focus. :D I also really like how you incorporated your sig as a tattoo on her rear! The bg seems really soft because of no outlines compared to her, but maybe you prefer it like that. :) Thanks for all the dedication too! XD Makes me happy you learned so much! Good work! Going to make any future walls using VMP?

Nice vector. I don't get the title (either I'm slow to put two and two together or I am uninformed), but whew, I like the vector a lot. The bg though could have had more work. The blending, shading, and colors don't work a lot with the vector. The colors could use some subtle hints to them, the shading just needs to be more like the vector to match, and it looks like the vector was just put on top of the bg and doesn't look like it's "one with the wall." (that was a weird phrase...) Otherwise nice work, man.

The background reminds me of D.Gray-Man or Kingdom Hearts. I don't think it fits the girl on the wallpaper but it's one sexy wallpaper and the title is really funny. The vector is really nice.

Good job!

great job on this!

as has been stated, nice work with the orientation, and the VMP. also, i like the bg, because it's soft, and keeps the focus on the character. and the tramp-stamp sig is FTW.

and, even though i'm not a big fan of ecchi, or hentai art, i am a fan of tony taka's works, go figure, so you get a fave on this one.

Uwahhh!!! I love it!!! (: (: Such a great vector work and you did the lineart so neatly. TT.TT It would take me like 3 days just to do the lineart. Your mousepad must be pretty beast. Btw, what does VMP stand for? You seem to have emphasized its usage but I have no clue what you're talking about and how that added to the wall-making. o.o;

Otherwise, GREAT WORK! :D Love it!

Ok sorry for the late comment. I just got online right now over here.

you know the girl is totally an OMG. I like what you did with the hair even though I dont know what VMP's process or how does it work.

I think the only nitpicky I have in here is that there is no shadow below the scissors which kinda made it flat but it's not that obvious since the focus is on the girl ^^

So this is your definition of anti-bishie eh? XD I like this wallpaper!

This wallpaper caught my eye and no, it wasn't because of the character. It was because of the creative choice of title you gave for it that really drew me in.

First off all, I a bit torn on how I feel about this wallpaper. What drew you into T2's work is the same thing I really enjoy about his work as well. I think you did a fantastic job with Hitagi, and obviously the comment about her mouth has been made as well. Personally speaking, I'm not really fond of the 'tramp-stamp' style of tattoo, but I think it's an unbelievably creative way to put your signature on a wallpaper and it does fit rather nicely on there as well.

As for the background. Well, I don't want you to take any offense to this, but I would of loved to see you detail the columns a bit more before submission. As it stands, it gives the impression that you worked really hard with that great tile work and railing work, but then sort of just gave up and just did the outlining with the columns. I still think it looks fantastic, but I think putting that extra bit of work into it would of put it leaps and bounds beyond where it stands right now. As for the background as well, there is an incredibly large amount of white. I don't think it's bad, but it becomes somewhat overwhelming.

This is a great wallpaper and it shows that you certainly have made a great amount of progress from your previous entries. This wall deserves the attention it's been getting and I certainly know you'll only get better from here. I look forward to seeing that as well.

Wow, you've outdone yourself on this one PaoPorsche! I'm kinda jealous of your newfound skills! I love the way you've done the girl, she looks amazing, and honestly and truthfully as I'm not into girls that's from a totally artistic point of view. lol. I noticed quite a few of the guys comments from above....lol. Awesome!

I have long since gotten over my rage of female 'moe' like characters being depicted as sex objects because I've grown to like a lot of male characters of the 'yaoi' genre, and this plainly classifies me as a hypocrite. Now I can simply appreciate the beauty of these female characters without a hint of animosity. I think the protagonist in this paper is a symbol of a style maven whose every step and more importantly, every detail, aspects is perfectly refined to perfection. I love that she looks just as elegant in her barley there attire and dare I say it, quite stylish in that raunchy underwear (I can't help but to blush a bit while typing this). I like her loose, immaculately sensual look and the pheromones that she's giving off. The background is very suitable and the selective coloring is admittedly refreshing. You took a rather beautiful scan and turned into a delectable desktop art. Admirable work!

well now, this is the second time i see a 3-day domination at this point i would congratulate you to a major achievement, but you accomplished it with BOOTY which is cheating that however doesnt negate the fact that its exquisite clean work and a very fine booty the hair looks awesome too and coloring altogether is a genuine delight so you still get a well deserved fav

It really is hard to go wrong with Tony Taka (as far as the male population is concerned anyway XD). Nevertheless, I'm also not the biggest fan of these "kinds" of wallpapers so I'll just glance over the obvious male plus-points of this wallpaper and get to the "artistically" juicy bit =D

For starters, I feel that you spent too much focus on the scan that the background simply became an afterthought, like you needed it just to situate Hitagi somewhere. Especially the main pillars, despite the slight bit of shading, they still look flat and detail-less.

The rim glow at the top of Hitagi's hair is also a bit off with the shading. Some of the outlines are also a bit rough and/or too thick. Normally what I do is I just trace everything with strokes and end them with pointed shapes. Something I came up with through laziness XP. And I personally think that one shouldn't put a lineart-ed character on a outline-less background but then again that just me :D

Nevertheless, I should take away necessary praise. The vectoring overall is still quite solid and I like how the floor helps convey the perspective.

Random trivia: I just looked up the actual quote which the title was based on and it was "Is that a gun in your pocket , or are you just glad to see me?" Just my momentary lapse into b@$tardiness...don't mind me XD

one tip, when you rotate already finished vector it lost so quality, some black lines become judged, so better rotate the scan before vectoring.
