My first attempt at a wallpaper here
Hope you all like it. Thanks Wavie-Davie
Ok sorry ill describe it. It took me about 40 minutes.
Here is original image: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1d_dRrVctBE/SwvrtnzegHI/AAAAAAAAB5I/7On7Fjn76Pc/s1600/15.jpg
Original image done by a Japanese artist called Nagi Ryou. He does amazing works you should google some of his stuff.
I removed the black wire that leads from guitar as obviously she wouldnt have anywhere to connect it in a forest. Removed the pebbles on bottom to. Had to obviously draw in the part of the shoe that was missing after removing the pebbles to, hope its not noticable.
The background I got from somewhere else and enlarged it slightly. To make it make more christmas like I may go back and add snow to it and make it whiter... I'll see if I can make my abilities better but right now thats my limits :( I will google how to make cell shaded background, I want to try to get her with other band members on stage so there is an aim for my next wallpaper.
Just wanted something that was nice and relaxing. Hope its ok.
I added the dark version

Really like what you did here. Good job on your first wallpaper!

I realize this is your first wallpaper, but I'm still going to give pointers to help you improve future works.
The background stock is too realistic for the very clean vector feel of the character. Also, her outlines are extremely pixellated. Also she looks as if she's a sticker on top of a real image. You need to work on the lighting of the character. Give her shadows, etc.
Hope that helps.

Good job! I like it!

Did you do the 3d work yourself? I actually kind of like the wall. There is clearly room for improvement, but it's a cute concept. Maybe try to cell shade the background next time.
One thing sorely missing though is more detailed author comments. Walls are more interesting when we know more about what went through your head, and progress pictures are awesome :D
Nice effort!

i like what you were trying to do but i think the background doesnt really fit, with that being said its still a pretty good wallpaper and awesome for being your first, good job im looking forward to see something more from you :-)

Yay K-ON!!! >www< Have to say I enjoy Revision 1 a bit more. Revision 2 somehow reminds me of the lolis in Higurashi, which gives me the goosebumps... > <
Girl fits perfectly into the background. Good job!

This is very good for a first wall! Keep up the good work!

So cute...I really like it!

I prefer the darker version, too, although I must say that the whole 'guitar girl in the forest' seems a bit illogical, lol. Overall, not bad for your first wall. Keep it up! :3

Really liking the dark revision.
I always tend to go for the darker wallpapers

Great wall even though the background and Mio holding her electric guitar is doesn't connect with one another. But still love what you have done.

lolz better than my first wallpaper hehe
2 years, 5 months ago
I love your job here, i prefer the second one cause i like dark wallpapers best. Keep the good work. +fav

Good for a first wall, but not enough good to be in top rated - the background is too real and I think you didn't did enough job from your own side. (my points go for Nagi R.) Don't take it personaly, my first wall was worse, I just don't like the overrated popularity of K-on.

OH~!PUNK FEEL~~

nice wall i like the revision 2
2 years, 5 months ago
Yeah, the 2nd revison got even better!

The wallpaper itself is aesthetically pleasing...and structurally it works. But I mean...what's up with the girl in the forest? The theme doesn't make sense at all...? Why is she holding a guitar in the forest staring off like that? It's a little weird, thematically strange. Remember that pictures tell stories too. Try to consider that in your next wallpaper, but otherwise you're on your way to making great wallpapers.

shes posing for her album cover

Ohh ok - lol did you just come up with that now? =P Well, just a suggestion but it would help if you put that in your description. =)

I'm not fond of the dark version even if it kinda suits black tones from Mio. However, that's a nice wallpaper for a first attempt.
As Red-Eclipse pinpointed in your wallpaper, the background is too realistic and doesn't really match with the character.
Anyway, keep up the good work and good luck for your next creation :)

Obviously, the second revise is way better than the first one, and I like it. I can agree with most people that the first one looked too realistic, however, I think the second one is a little bit too dark. Anyway, great job for your first wall, keep it up!~ Would love to see more from you :p

I think what throws me about the wall is just the chosen background image. It's the wrong setting. I picture her in a bar playing backup to some thrasher band, rather than out in the forest.

wow very impressive work. i like the darker wall better added to my fav :)

Great job! And even greater if this is your first wall!!
2 years, 4 months ago
Hmm...I like the second revision (album cover, I read), gonna sound like a broken record: the background is kind of weird. But other than that this second revision is pretty :) blending and all.
