Hello!
Note: 16:9 versions provide full extended image on sides.
I finally got around to finishing this Bakemonogatari wall I started back in January.
The image is based on the endcard used for TV episode 4, illustrated by Miki Yoshikawa:![]()
Despite differing from their standard character design, I liked the illustration quite a bit and decided to make a wall using it.
A few other scans and multiple screenshots were used to recreate the background.
Aside from a small amount of stone/cement textures for the background, the wall is one big vector done in Illustrator.
While I was originally going to make this wall 16:10, I ended up extending the sides to support those who have 16:9 monitors.
Alternative versions:
To provide you all with multiple options, there are several alternative versions:
- Revision 1: Blurred background (based on distance)
- Revision 2: No Suruga/Araragi
- Revision 3: Purplish lineart (similar to the series' style)
- Revision 4: Default (no blur) (only version available above 2560x1440 or 2560x1600)
Lastly, if for whatever reason you want just the background with the three characters (to custom crop, have plenty of icon space, and/or add just the Senjougahara/Tsubasa vector yourself, etc) here's a copy of the non-cropped background:

First XD Really nice vectors and great detailed work which makes it look better than the original scan. Good patience on vectoring all of the background which the design concept goes well with the Bakemonogatari theme. Thank for offering the alternative versions aswell :3 +fav

Great vector. Glad there are alternate versions, I liked the one with purplish lineart much more than with the black one. Great job.

Very clean wall with smooth lines.
The light colors give off a watercolor feel. Character designs are just so lovable. Kanbaru in the background was a nice touch. Adding Araragi on the floor was pretty funny. You did a good job reconstructing the background from multiple sources.

Great vectoring on this one. Likeable how the whole thing was constructed from different sources. I lold so hard when spotted Sengoku in the very background. Bakemonogatari needs more love (and of course more walls) ;3 +Fav

I like the vectoring in here very clean and smooth...
my only nitpicky is the lighting on the left girl's face... maybe that's just me +

Great vectoring, though the colors seem different than what I usually see in other works but it's still good. I like how Senjougahara's tongue is sticking out.
