This was my entry for AP Clash Elimination Challenge, Round 1 [The human condition]
I stumbled upon this Mardock Scramble scan a week or two before the clash started, and thought: wow, I really wanna do this one... but ended up just saving it to my computer. When they announced the theme, I figured I had seen just the kinda of scan to match my slightly dark, philosophical interpretation of it ^^. Not as creative as I may usually be, but technically all in all a pretty hard hard one to pull off.
buildings: brushes by hiraoka & starwalt @ DA lace stock: looked for my camera and took some pics from bits of lace in my mom's sewing kit XD

Love the details in her hair and clothes. The BG is a bit jumbled and it took me a while to piece everything together but once I did, I realized the awesomeness behind it all. Really nice details and idea. :D

You speed of recent walling disturbed me ;3 You don't go too overboard? Hope you eat and sleep well... The girl looks awesome (I want her, and do ecchi thing with her), though a bit taked when I noticed what the rest should be... Anyways the result is great and thats the important. +Fav

WOW. DISTURBIA it is. The expression on the girl's face really just draws you into it. Love the concept too. <3

Beautiful vector indeed! Nice work on the background too. But there's something about those petals that does'nt look quite right. It kinda looks like it's just hovering there rather than floating on water. I think maybe a few ripples around the petals would make it look more like it's floating on the water. Something like what Nysha did in this wallpaper. Everything else looks amazing though. 8D

Wow, all the work done here really pays off. The overall abstractness is somehow preventing me from seeing your interpretation of the theme but that's probably due to my lack of imagination. Great job anyway.

LOL, is she lying in on a glass or a puddle of water? I cant quite figure that one out XD Nice concept and as usual, your style is noticeable from the thumb

Super beautiful, I loved the scan when I saw it and I love it even more with the way you've re-made it. I like your style of shading over the cel-shading style that's in the scan, especially in her face and hair as it makes the fact she's in the water show up way better than it did in the original.

Great job on this! I love the painting and the lighting! The expression on her face is just perfect and the water around her is really cool. +Fav

This is just creepy - in a very good way! The mood is just stunning, just like the skill you put into this. Her face and especially the hair look amazing, and the water effect is just..<3. And the reflection of the mouse in her eyes! Although i have to be an ar*e and mention that the reflection of the mouse is a bit off. (http://www.slrphotographyguide.com/tips/images/water-reflections.jpg ) (http://www.pitopia.de/pictures/standard/s/sonnenstrahlen/32/sonnenstrahlen_624932.jpg ) But this work is just plain stunning, good job.

I can't believe the beauty of this wallpaper. When I full viewed it my eyes literally popped and my heart missed a beat...there are now words to describe the power of this wallpaper.
Just taking in the face did that to me, after I saw the rest of the body and the background I completely fell in love with it. The painting is exquisite and the manipulation of stock and photographs are stunning! Incredible work Julie, you have certainly become my favorite waller on this site.

Love how it looks 3D! Also i love the details! (9+_+) and you have changed the original scan to awesome results! ^_^-b well done.+

Very nice vectoring and coloring! I'm amazed that you can do something like this so fast! The legs seem really undefined compared to her head, but I guess that could be a part of the concept too, hehe. Good luck in the next round!

I love how you have vectored the scan. I think her face in your wallpaper looks better than in the scan. Fabulous wallpaper! . *.*

I love what you did with her hair and eyes. Really great work. You've gotten a lot of feedback; the only thing I could add is that the lace on her legs seems off to me, but still, your wall really caught my eye. Great job!

great job cleaning up the scan but i have to admit i like the lighting of the original one better.

wow. such high quality vectoring . i like the way you did the water line around the body . and the glowing rat is disturbing. the emotionless expression on the character makes her look . almost dead. or helpless. very cool

Great piece of work. Keep up great work.

oh myyy.. i love her face... the character looks so beautiful.. her hair.. the details.. you did an awesome job on it.. i dont like much the background, its a pity you didnt change it and try something different cause the character is so pretty and background kinda ruins it... The right side border looks too 3d and the buildings seam like brushes or stock not matching the scene... Anyways i'm in love with what you did with the character.. congrats for that great work!

Wow - fantastic! Looks cool - no no Wonderful!
Like the colors you used. I like that dress of her! Is she laying in water? That looks cool - but I would prefer red eyes or gold eyes ^^ The colored petals are wonderful - floating around her!
