Made (back in March haha) as a request by a few different people, namely Ned, who asked for The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and GoldenApe who asked for this scan.
First time mixing painting with vectoring in one wall. Always wondered if that would work out x).
(btw - don't those stage lights look like the belly of a spaceship..? or maybe that's just me~)

Nice to see it here :3 The painting and vexelling details really work together in this wall. Good touch of lighting to create the atmosphere. +fav

Nice to see this wall on AP too now! Yup, that scan definitely deserved to be turned into a wall like this. I love the emotion on Yuki's face, a mix between focus and total relaxation. I believe I've commented on the wall itself elsewhere before, but why not again: I like the background as it compliments Yuki in both colour and serenity. I do think the composition is a bit weird, with Yuki being way too small and too low in the frame. Other than that, excellent work.
Thanks!

)) glad you like! I guess Yuki's small because I want to break away from simple portraiture, at least every now and then.

Lulz wat @ wondering whether mixing painting and vectoring would work out. You doubt my tutorials? XDXDXD Buahaha. But if it really was your first time, then I can understand a little more. (Though it baffles me if you've never tried before...)
Anyway it looks great as usual. :) Really nice detail on the violin. And speaking of the stage lights, I think they rather resemble a cluster of aquatic eggs instead. ;D I think I would suggest placing your watermarks on a curved pen path that follows the contours of where you place them - instead of branding it on top of stuff on a straight path.

Ah, I didn't know you had tutorials on that x). I read tutorials for coding, but they just don't seem to catch on for me when it comes to the design/photoshop/illustrating part.

WOW!! A great combination of vector & painting. I love it so much, especially Nagato's hair & the BG, It really look great, really enjoying it. ^^
2 years, 1 week ago
FINALLY! You submitted it here too! <3 <3 <3 LOL. The stage lights kinda look like the belly of a spaceship. XDDDD Everything looks really neat and clean. As for the signature, as some have pointed out, maybe it would be better if it was placed in another part of the wall OR you could do what Miss @Nysha has suggested. :D Other than that, really great job on extending the scan. Colors are very vibrant too. \m/

I like the wall but I'd wish you would move the writing on her arm. It kind of drags my gaze away from the beauty of the piece. I'm really digging the color scheme.

Very pretty and nicely done, I always love your walls. There are two things that look weird and bother me a bit; first one is the signature lol I know you need to make it big but interferes with the wall too much :S The second thing is Yuki's left arm. Right now looks weirdly wavy and unnatural xD Awesome vectoring anyway, love her hair and the violin :3
2 years, 1 week ago
You're right about the arm - should've fixed that xD. I did notice it before (it's exactly like that on the original scan actually), but I just got lazy.....

Yuki Nagato playing gorgeous Serenade is really graceful and attractive.

the painting is superb, and the whole looks stunning as always. just one small thing, though : why write on her arm?
2 years, 1 week ago

I love the lighting in this! It's so warm and...shiny, lol. It really gives off that 'classy' atmosphere. I understand your need for putting your sig like that because, really, art thieves are the worst but like some had suggested, maybe curving it to match the line of the arm would look a bit better. :3
And lol @ Nysha's comment about painting/vectoring combo. XD It turned out really nicely so I hope it's not your last attempt at it; see, it's not so hard. XD
2 years, 1 week ago
Yeah, the curvy suggestion is a good one :) I'll remember that for next time.
And no, definitely not my last attempt!

Excellent work. Im really impresed. But its posible you could put your sign in the corner of the wall?? or its imposible??? Anyway, is one of the best wall I ever seen.
2 years, 1 week ago
I really really love the way her hair looks! The lighting and everything is just perfect and it has a really good atmosphere. The only thing I can say which I believe has already been pointed out is that left arm does look a little funny but other than that it's perfect! +fav!

I see this wallpaper on network Jaded some little time ago. It's a masterpiece, thanks for sharing on Anime Paper too.
I just can't use as my wallpaper because it is the flash, maybe because the lights on the background!
Thx

Well, looking at the scan and the finished wall, the output is great. Grats on completing the scan and extending it out.
2 years, 1 week ago
Very nice vector work on the whole piece. I really like how you did the lighting along with the color scheme. :D Gotta agree with Alenas though. The signature would look great if it was more integrated into the image. So following the shape of her arm could be a good start. :)
2 years, 1 week ago
I'm soooooo in love with the way you did her hair and the violin :D The lighting is also awesome, and the design of the background is great! (I haven't seen the belly of a spaceship before so I can't really tell haha) The whole atmosphere does really feel like a concert in a grand symphony hall too~
am putting this as my desktop wall :D

KEH, the arm sig tattoo doesn't even bother me. I like her surroundings a lot, the dramatic lightning compliments everything. I'm in love with her hair _ It flows so naturally, waay better than in the original.
Also lol, I agree about the round light things looking like fish eggs, that was my first thought xD

I just falled in love when I saw it in your site, so good see it here too. ^^ I always loved your works, and that wall is one of the best in my opinion. You extended the bg really well, and the lighting created a atmosphere that catched me totally. Her hair is awesome too, and I really don't care about the signature in her arm, I like of the way you made it and think that it's one of your characteristics. ^^
Good job, keep it up! ♥
