I managed to finish my first Yuki wall before Halloween, yay!

Okay I admit, this isn't a real Halloween wall at all, I just happened to finish this now, and hey, what's more suitable for Halloween, than a mega cute and supersmarthumanoidinterfacebookworm witch with a cat? Maybe the same with pumpkins and a black cat, but that's just a minor detail~

As you could guess, I really, really, really like the witch Yuki, (actually, there is almost no witch I wouldn't like, but Yuki is my absolute fav) so I went ahead and recreated this, this and this screenshot, from the first season. I combined the three, since I wanted Shamisen - Yuki combination with the best hat, hair and coat! The first screenshot is the base, but I took the hat from the second, and Shamisen from the third screen-cap!

About the style, I always liked those artists who can make soft and realistic hairstyles, so I decided to develop my own realistic soft hairstyle too! I experimented a lot, it took make almost 1 months to realize how to make this kind of hair... BUT! In the end, I managed to achieve the style I wanted to~ I'm not sure how others will like it though...

The background is created from scratch, but it's really nothing special, just a simple cloudy sunset... with a fairly ruined roof. I haven't made a sky background for a while now, so I thought it should be okay, if I make one again.

Details Number of Layers: Over 9000! Duration of the working process: 2 months I guess, but I don't really know, more than a week but less than a year, that's for sure. Everything is created with the Touch-pad and the [strike]PS cs2[/strike]. MS Paint! The process is powered by sweets~

Any kind of crits and comments are welcomed! I'm still not really confident in my abilities, so don't hold back your crits, be harsh, if you need to! That's all from me, I'm going to sleep now, Happy Halloween!

P.S. Yes, I like to sleep a lot~ P.S.II If you like Yuki too, then go and watch the Disappearance movie, 'cuz it's awesome!

Wow, very nice! The sunset caught my attention. :3 Good work on that - the colors are very nice. The folds in her clothes seem a tad blurry and I think some of her hair should be in more shadow (especially on the right side below the bangs and under the brim of the hat). You can put a golden edge on the backlit hair, and along the edges of her cape and hat too (instead of white). Nice to see a new wall from you! :D

Same with Nysha, the sunset caught my attention to this wall. The awesome sky with cool clouds are good! The lighting effect from the sun is welled done. The vector is good and as Nysha said the outlines should be gold or same color as the sunset. Overall a very nice sunset background! +fav! ^^,

the warm colors caught my attention in here. when I saw it at the home page, it kinda reminded me of levetian's latest wall because of the softness... I just submitted a Haruhi halloween and it's another haruhi suzumiya here weeeee.... I like the sunset as well as the soft colors of the hair

Ouh lovely sunset. Like some of the others have mentioned, that caught my attention the most. The lighting throughout the wall was done nicely overall. Great work on the details for the hair, and i love those sparkly eyes. Can't think of anything that you can improve on. So i'll just fav this. ;)

The sunset is very well and really attracts attention.

Lighting on it is fabulous. The clouds have a lot of tearing which I like instead of just being completely smooth. Intense brightness of the horizon and the deep darkness of the sky brings a lot of contrast. The work on the hair paid off because it feels very light, fluffy, and silky. Great job on the eyes. They have an intense contrast that that Ito Noizi has on her characters. But you slightly changed it and made it your own.

I think the character could use a stronger highlighted contour since the light seems strong.

Lighting has certainly improved but I also agree on what Tens has said, use more highlighted contour on the lighting since the sunset behind Yuki seems strong. ^^v Add a bit of yellowish glow to the highlight too. ^^v

Awesome lightings! I really like the wallpaper, just that there is some details that need to be merged more into the wallpaper, and also, the cat is a little too much blurred!!! Keep it up man!

I love the colours *___* Everything is so detailed, too, and the overall quality is very high - reminds me of the 5 Centimeters Per Second anime. But the signature is too small , isn't it? o.o +fav by me :D

Your ability to paint sky scenery has never ceased to amaze me. From the clouds to the sunset to the colour palette, everything is just exquisite. The re-painting of Yuki and Shamisen is also no less than what I expect.

But what's a critique from me if I don't start pointing out all the drawbacks I found. (XD)

Firstly, it would seem that you slacked off quite a bit on the areas that are outside the wall's main focus. For example, the railing is actually quite awfully done and the I can't quite tell what is the perspective of the ground supposed to be (i.e. is it supposed to be flat, or crumbled at the end, etc, etc). Also do note the errors on the uniform underneath the cape.

My second point is less of a problem and more of an opinion. Personally, I would have preferred the hair to have sharper points. Granted you are going for the realistic feel, but I still think you should strike a closer balance between realistic and 2D-vectored coz' now the the tips of the hair look like the brush heads of flat paintbrushes. Not exactly the most flattering hairstyle IMO.

Anyhow, it's always nice to see a great wall from you. Mata ne~

My first instance was seeing a Predator aiming his shoulder cannon at me. just imagining Yuki opening her mouth with four pincers at the side howling brings a chill to my spine.

but then I woke up and realized this is a cute cat.

err... I mean Yuki/

Nice! The wallpaper really looks sweet. The sunset I think is great and looks quite natural and blends real well with Yuki's mood. I also like how the sunset makes Yuki's clothes and hair slightly glow. Having the cat on her I thought was a plus too since the little guy sort of livens the mood a bit more in a cute way. Me like (^_^).

I love the title XD! Yuki's expressionless face makes this image funny for me... in a good way. I also am a fan of witch Yuki and will definitely be using this on my computer. Thank you for creating this.
