I've been listening to and thinking about Nujabes a lot recently. It's hard to believe that it's been one year today since his passing. 2010 was really a terrible year in terms of loss.
This wall was completely fueled by Nujabes' music, Luv (Sic) Part 3 in particular - I was completely blown away by the lyrics:
It’s funny how the music put times in perspective Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far Wherever you are...
It's been a while since I was so inspired by a song; I hope I've done the inspiration justice.
Fuu's outlines vectored from this scan; the rest of the background designs were done in Illustrator with color adjustments, floral brush, super light splatter brush, and fontage added in Photoshop.

Looove the colors and the way that line slowly dissolves on the right side. Also those little details/dots around her that look like the ones on her kimono are a nice touch, too. Nice one! :D

That's pretty, I love the simplicity and the warm colours. I'm not sure about the "double outlines" on her face though - they look cool on the rest of the character, but maybe it would be better if you erased them from the neck up to her eyes.

This is nice. :) I like how you used calm colours to make up most of the wallpaper. I am especially fond of its plainness and cream background.

Love love love~ -stabs voice in head that sounds vaguely like Epik High-
The vectoring and colors are lovely (: I don't like how the lines are a bit offset though, but everything else is just so niiiiiice (the dots you added were a great touch), it don't matter ;D~

Wahhh I'd love to desktop thisss. I hate you HP mini and your weird resolution >__>
The tiny details are insane, I especially adore the flower brush at the top. Wonderful job with the soft gradients and the typography. <333

The whole thing has a really nice flow and rhythm. I’m not really into this type of wallpapers, but yours are usually pretty neat to look at.
Nice job.

wow one year... i've never thought about the long time that has passed since that ... so one year...
I didn't see this was yours, absolutely lovely, is a wall very intelligent that's the first thing I though when I saw it, have soul. I can feel, I guess, your inspiration.

White space in the background is really calm and soft. It is harmonized with her backside looks like running or dancing.

Well, I like very much this kind of graphic style, simple and minimal. Its effects are good, but, in my humble opinion or in my taste, it should be better if the gradient wave of the background was made without that "broken line" trace. But this is just a details, infact you did a really good work and I'm going to add your work on my favs ;P

Looking at the original scan, I really like the way you lightened everything up. It gives it a nice "spring" feel, which as I look at the snow out my window right now I could really use! My only fault with it is with the scan, not you -- Fuu's face looks very strange from this angle! Overall, though, it's my kind of minimalist paper that doesn't overwhelm the screen but still has balance and interesting things going on.

Love the colors and the simple design :D... Indeed 2010 was a terrible year in terms of losing influential people... may people strive to be like them. Everytime a friend walls, it makes me want to do something too xD I actually kinda miss it... but not that much to make something this instant lawl

I like how simple it's is, but int he same time it's so complete! Colors -- are good, they match wonderfully and suits Fuu)

Hah! Fuu looking incredibly off balance per usual, I really like the toned down colors that are bright but not too flashy!

She looks like she's got dumplings coming out of her right shoe xD
"Let the memories flow" I like when a tag line is properly choosen for a wall and this one is. You feel the lack of stability by Fu's akward angle and the curved line... also, fits well with Fu's story and that's a plus :)
Great job!
