Hi!
Thanks to angelbell00 for this awesome scan of Alvaro (found on MT)!
http://static.minitokyo.net/view/03/06/472803.jpg
I put the link but I don't know how put directly the picture in miniature (Sorry!)
When I saw it, I was admirative because of design and butterflies (I like butterflies!) So I vectored it (since 1 week). Since I tried different versions of BG and finally chose this one. I painted a crashed glass to increase the broken feeling, he seems to be sad or hopeless (pinned as a butterfly! ). I added broken glass that sparkles (vectored) and finally emphazised the lightning, contrast, saturation and dominant color to create a sweet but melancholic atmosphere.
I hope you'll like!
Cilou

Bishie = LOVE >3. The scan link doesn't seem to work though o_o.
Too bad this is a game and not anime/manga.

Another seriously nice wallpaper. What is with the wallers around here in the past week or so? Clearly there is a newly conceived conspiracy to flood the members with top tier work; in an attempt to have us beg them to: stop raising the average.
Well, it wont work. Bring it on, I am not impressed. ;-) I'll take all you've got. Nice work Cilou, and to the rest of you guys, who have submitted in the past few days. I have seen some really nice wallpapers recently. Thanks for sharing and here is to you:

This is a gorgeous wallpaper, Cilou. Another wallpaper where your skill has shown once again. This is, of course, a favorite of mine.
I love the butterflies. It brings a softness to the pic. I love the expression of the character. Brilliant job again!

oh nice! I love that butterflies, it had his own shades i like that, the glass, his eyes, hair, everything look so beauty and complemented each =)

lady Cilou - your vectoring capabilities lie in the heavens. my one criticism is that although butterflies are integral to your desktop design concept; ideally they should be scaled down to proper levels. they can be normal sized and still carry the work. also the typography should be to the bottom left with a neutral font perhaps sampled from his eye color or that yellow butterfly. it's all about proper balance.

This is very lovely. Adding the shattered glass really gives off a nice impact too. It gives more meaning the whole mood of this wall. The butterflies are very lovely too. The lighting IMO is kinda weird again. The sparkles are kinda distracting too also ('cause I don't know if they're really meant to be sparkles because it looks blurred for me). But overall, I really like the whole concept and composition of this wall. <3

Overall this is MUCH better than many of your recent submissions in terms of quality. The gradation on the butterflies actually works (because they are more flat, people's faces are not), giving them a luminescence; and the vectoring is smooth. The eyes are colored well and the highlighting on the face-mask is nicely executed, but after that you skimped on the shadows again. Adding another layer of shading in to the darker areas does wonders to a piece; partially shading well in a small area and neglecting it in the rest of the wallpaper only shows that you rushed it again, which is a shame as this could have been very beautiful if it was given more care and attention.
Part of the problem when vectoring in Photoshop is that when you make the lines too thin it creates a jagged edge. If you would make the lines a little thicker with the pen-tool it would reduce this issue. The don't have to be huge, just slightly larger. This is one of the biggest obstacles you frequently ignore, so in the end the line-art is still very jagged.

Awesome wallpaper! I like purplish shade, and the butterflies scattered around seems to compliment the whole scene of the shattered glass and the bandaged and tied arms.
Keep up the good work!

the cracked glass was a nice touch. the gauze and mask make it very mystifying~~ it was also nice how the sparkles aren't so blinding.

Gorgeous wallpaper! I love the feel of the wallpaper; Very somber, but not too much. The butterflies add a little flair and color to the wallpaper, keeping it from being too terribly dark :). Excellent work!
