Okay, so I started this Nao wallpaper last night, after seeing the scan and remembering how awesome it was whenever Nao licked her claws in the series...she's crazy but you have to love her.
I just used a bunch of brushes, some downloaded, some created (on the left-hand side you can see a photo of an african tribal mask I took, and then converted to brush, for instance). Just experimenting with all the grunginess and composition. Used my WACOM tablet a bit, too, which was nice.
So yeah...enjoy.

I like it! Very fitting for Nao. You did a very interesting thing with the brushes and the colors fit the original scan very well! Great job! Thanks for sharing!

mmm.. the chara was well extracted and also it pretty clean.. but the chara position is not in the right place. You should put the chara on the right side cuz at that side there will be less icons usually, no worry it just my opinion ^__^

Good work! I liked Nao as well - especially if you consider the (fake?) trailer of Mai HiME movie - where she dies.
I like the colors and the background. The brushes also seem quite good - because it doesn't seem too blurry. Nice work. Even though she isn't a main character - I must confess that I liked Nao in Mai HiME more than in Otome... we will see how Otome turns :D Good work!

Your right, it is hawt when she licks her claws *____* I mean...seductive yet deadly, what a combination. Anyways, I saw this wall and I couldn't pass up the chance to comment on it since I've been a fan of your work since early MT days, just never had the time to comment.
Anyways, the scan is very sexy and very interesting overall. Great quality and extraction and placement, though I personally think the middle would of worked out for the best, I still think it's a great job and I love it, nothing else I can really think of to say about this wallpaper.
The background is what really gets to me. The grunge is beautiful and the text fits rather nicely as well. Just a gorgeous choice of color to boot and just a beautiful corporation of all the right elements to make a flawless looking background. The grunge is what really attracted me to it and still is what really draws me into it. Simplistic yet complex enough to give it a really beautiful look overall. Fantastic job as well on a choice of scan. Though I personally might of gone with a few different colors since she seems sorta out of place, being her claws are so bright, maybe adding some blood to her claws would be a rather interesting effect and really give a sorta "If looks could kill" basis to it. Or at least this is my personal opinion on it all, I still love the wall nonetheless and this is just my opinion.
What can I say? Fantastic job, beautiful text and everything fits together so nicely that I can't complain at all, even with a few things there, it was more of just personal opinion about the whole matter. Nonetheless you did a splendid job and it's definately worth the favorite. I tip my hat to you, good sir.

this wall is a little too busy with all kinds of images that don't seem to have any relevance to the character. why an african tribal mask? it would have been nice if you'd at least tried to tie in the bg with the rest of the piece, otherwise why not just leave nao out altogether? oh, and you could have left the white text out since her name is incoporated into the bg anyway.

You made her look so good and evil...

Ohhh... Nao-chan really looks seductive there- hot and cool at the same time. Look at her, she's so pretty in the background. Red BG suits her fine because of her red hair. Nao's scan is also of good quality. Good job in cleaning it. The brushes you used here are nice. They blend well together with the colors.

Nao is so deliciously evil. I really enjoyed her in both HiME and Otome, and I'm glad someone made a wallpaper of her with a dark background, which suits both my tastes in walls and Nao's character. Nice work.
The title, though, could definately use some work.

This wall to in all image which is not visible the fact that it is what kind of relation to the quality which when Africa goes why insufficiently it is busy in small quantity too much? You at least the late summer when it will believe when it will tie and inside the total bg at the remaining outside of formation of a cabinet and when it will not be like that and why only it will be a permission nao, theyn the place? Her name with the bg Ohio and the possibility of drawing out the white original which it spreads out was the incoporated anyhow because of convenience. ;;

wow nice work with the lighting, the way you use a darker background in contrast of the character brings out the redness and a little of the fury of the character. Very cute indeed, keep up the nice work

Is a nice wallpaper,like Shinn says,is simple,but i like so much the brush work(the white brush part is so beautiful),the extraction is so nice,also the font that u use,maybe the only thing that i dont like to much was that yellow/peach spots on the corners,i think that color clashes with the soft pink.
I wish u the best of luck fixing the problems in your life,and i hope u can make a wall for the Battle
