Some wise words from Aki Yo APeople. My last wall was definitely my best, but wasn't noticed enough, despite that it had the longest worktime from all my wallpapers. Hope this one fulfills the role of the "ecchi wall what is usually quite well noticed by common members of AP". Also I was motivated by the lack of wallpapers for Sora no Otoshimono with a character other as Ikaros. And at not least, to celebrare my soon upcomming 3rd anniversary on AP.
A little review of girls from Sora no Otoshimono and also a little mathematics Comparison of intelligence vs. bust sizeNymph - Flatchested loli / Genius level intellect Mikako Satsukitane - Medium sized boobs / Intelligent Sohara Mitsuki - Big boobs / Simple-minded Ikaros - Very big boobs / Dumb Astraea - Giant boobs / Airhead
So the final conclusion is very clear, better to be dumb as possible. Though be ready for heavy load on your shoulders, killer bouncing and expensive underwear!
Workprocess On the character heavy gradients and medium shading, just as by all my latest vectors, but now with almost full coverage of the wall, guess almost 80%. If you compare with the original scan, almost the third of the character was rebuilded, and got a coloring more close to blue instead of purple. (RGB colors -20 red) Outlines black combined with colored. For the BG gone with simple sky, but which fits with the style of Sora no Otoshimono. Clouds duplicated and Gaussian Blur on the upper layer. Additional directional blue lighting on the whole compostion (15% opacity).

So, this means (judging from her breast size and she's not Ikaros...or whatever the other is called) that this one is a complete imbecile? Interesting. XD
Alas, ecchi and half naked falling angels aren't my thing but the vector is very nice. XD
2 years, 10 months ago
I agree with alenas: the vector itself is nice, but I prefer visually innovative wallpapers (not necessarily ones that took ages to finish, but ones that are different from others - in positive ways) rather than clichee wallpapers like these. The art-"part" of this wallpaper is executed very well imo - you did a really good job on the vector and the rest matches as well. Though I really prefer wallpapers with some more artistic touch to it. Thanks for sharing this wallpaper :).
dS.
p.s.: Happy Anniversary I guess :D, eh?

As I said before beautiful vector and great clouds. A awesome vector that can only be expected of you. But as stated before I think the clouds are just a bit too realistic. Love the rebuilding of the character from that scan.
Lol at the description. Love the Breast size/intelligence chart. Nice music as well. ;P
Definitely a success as a great ecchi wallpaper! Happy 3rd anniversary before hand!

I usually prefer intelligence over boob size, but since a wallpaper can't talk anyways, I'm delighted to see some ecchiness like this. High class vectoring as usual, I like the gradient effects here and there. The hair lacks a bit of detail, but that was the case in the original scan as well, so you had to draw it yourself, which is pretty difficult and I don't blame you for not doing it.
Keep up the ecchi!
2 years, 10 months ago
That chart made me laugh so hard. What makes it worse is that chart can also be applied to other animes as well.
While I don't mind ecchi, I felt that the show itself ended up being a bit more than I cared for. This scan sort of sits on the boarder between being too much and ok, for myself ,and sort of tips into the being too much. Yet still I am glad to see that the series is getting more love, because it's got adorable characters and it's nice to see someone other than the main pink-haired female. It's clearly evident that you put a great deal of work into the vector as well, which I wouldn't of expected any less. I'd certainly say it's top quality and I also like how you revamped it from being her going down a water slide to flying (although it more so looks like she's falling). Seriously though, her boobs are huge.
As for the background, I'm really glad that you changed the clouds. I didn't mind the previous ones, but they far too much like generic stock that your average newcomer would put into a background. These certainly look a lot more realistic and definitely are better suiting.
I can't really comment on a terribly large amount and while I would definitely agree that your previous wallpaper is your best effort yet, sometimes it never hurts to have a little fun and mix things up.

HA the protagonist is so frigging adorable! I'm more than ready to embrace this falling angel simply based on her refinement. How fun is the scenery? Super fun in my opinion! I'm just assuming that she'll land on a cloud and say something super cute afterwords. I must admit that I used to loath ecchi themes but over time it has grown on me, and I find that some of the characters are simply too adorable to ignore and this character is no exception. I think she looks lovely, clearly defined, her atmosphere is majestic. There is certainly a high level of craftsmanship evident in your art style and I'm thrilled to be on the receiving end of it. Great work, thanks for the paper!

I agree with the "ecchi wall that is usually quite well noticed by common members of AP. I mean, if you look at the most popular scans, ecchi is mostly what you get. It's quite annoying to tell you the truth. But it's not the common members that usually comment on walls. I'm not discriminating anyone here but I just know for a fact that most of the people who comment on walls usually don't go for ecchi walls if they're not good, myself included. So, I suggest that you stick to your principles and wall the stuff that you like.
The vector is great. I don't usually fav such walls but since it's well done, I'll do it just this once. Keep it up.
2 years, 10 months ago
Aahh the ecchi! >:D But it's what you do best and your awesome at it! The vector is amazing. I love all the details with the lighting and shading on her. I sure hope she lands safely! Great job on this. I can tell you put alot of work into it!

Before i go and stare endlessly at this incredibly delicious wallpaper, im just going to fav this!+

I don't really like that kind of Ecchi girls, (looks so stupid at this position) but I really like the vector you made, that's Aki! Good job and keep it up! +FAV
2 years, 10 months ago
The vector is without a doubt flawless, the parts that you redrew looks very good. I like that you combined black and colored outlines, that's just awesome!

Nicely played. Your wall made it into the top 3 exactly as one would have expected. ;) My comment mirrors @storm-and-fire's, so I don't have to repeat what she's already said.
+fav because I love your vectoring style.
2 years, 10 months ago
You hit the hammer on the nail. I had to look because I couldn't resist, the only reason for this wall's popularity is in it's "ecchi-ness." I'll have to say, I was more intellectually stimulated by the description rather than trying to find the artistic aspects of the wall. In and of itself, though, you have presented an excellent vector (I lose my patience with vectoring, perhaps scans like these though would keep my attention).
In the end, great job. You have done your good deed (for the otaku society, of course) and deserve this "Fav+" (The previous sentence was mainly a superfluous excuse to hit the fav button for a quick reference to ecchi in future, XD)

Great quality vector, and nice work on the re-constructed bits! Glad you kept the focus on the original image too ;3
2 years, 10 months ago
Wow, amazing job you did with original scan!
Vector is really nice, very well done: faithful colors, clean image, with great skill you completed the parts covered by the screenshots and text and even removed the water from the pantsu! (that little detail that made the original scan a pseudo-hentai one but now is more decent)
Nice background too, there's few of it but the sky was a great selection, it changes the sense of the original scan and imposes a new meaning, with a more natural ambient, showing a dumb angeloid that falls in the middle of a flight. Boobs also bad for aerodynamics?
Two thumbs up for this paper (d = ^_^ = b), thanks for sharing!
PD: Hilarious reflection, I am glad I know several exceptions to this stereotyped law of nature, or otherwise I'd believed it totally.

Hot wallie tho I admire the work you did exacting the image, very well done!
keep it up!!

Amazing job with reconstructing those insanely obstructed parts. Those require a great deal of effort, time and imagination. I would have preferred to use colored outlines all the way, but that is just my personal preference of not mixing black with colored outlines.
Not sure if the sky fits in since it looks a tad bit on the realistic side but either way, it still works. *thumbs up*

I just came back from a seminar yesterday and then had to finish my entry for clash of the wallers, so I did not have the chancxe to see this earlier. Well now I'm glad I found this piece. :D You maybe know that I'm not all too much into ecchi walls, but I definitely take my hat off to this one. The vector is very high quality as usual and you did a great job at extensions and improvements on the orginal scan, very good usage of gradients too. Most things I like about this wall were already mentioned by other people, so I don't want to make it too long but rather just say good job brother! I like that you're walling more now these days, and you definitely got the techniques down to produce nice stuff. Btw this would have actually fit the theme for immunity challenge... too bad you weren't in...

Nothing to say, truly a perfect vectoring. Theglobal quality is indeed superb and your scan reconstruction deserves an A ranking ;) You know I don't like girls with enormous boobs, but I love the attention to details you put in [strike]her pantsu[/strike] the wall.
Totally deserves a FAV+

Wow . I so dislike the char, she's so not my cup of tea, but at the same I love your vectors. Always flawless. (How many times did I write this word in context to your wall?). Deserves a fav even from such an ecchi hater like me.

You always find a way to pay attention to the smallest of details. I swear you are one of the most super talented people I know. Sorry it took so long to comment. + Fav
