This was more of an experiment than anything, which turned out not too bad, so I decided to share it.
Did the vector in illustrator CS5 and experimented with using gradient mesh. Then I dropped it in photoshop and adjusted the color tones and placed in a beach photo.
Edit: Added a revised version with a vector background instead and added some softer edges.

As much I love the changes that you did to the girl, the cleanliness and sharpness of your vector----the background doesn't seem to suit her that well. Particularly because it is very blurred. It looks more like a smudged painting to me than a seascape behind her. D: Other than that, some of the colors of the girl are blurred as well. Overall, I congratulate you for making the largest resolution possible. XD BTW, nice signature you have there. :D

Yea you are right, I will see if I can get another one and revise it.

I would say I really like the sharp contrast between the character and the backdrop.

i like your vectoring a lot. But there's kind of rule:vector char - vector bg. you may search for some tutorials in the inet about vector scenic backgrounds. Good luck! i like your signature too! )))

Yea I know I am sorta of weak with backgrounds, I will work on that. Thanks!

The thick lines were purposely done because I personally like the style, but, yes I will improve upon the background. Thanks

I really like this wall because of the contrast between the focus and the background. The ultra thick outlining further divides the two from each other which I absolutely love. I really like the stylization here. The eyes catch you quickly and say, "I don't care about the rest of the world". It might not be the most technically challenging thing to create, but art isn't good because of how hard it is too create. It is about creating and conveying emotion, and I think this has something to say. That's my interp, and I hope it strikes everyone in its own way. The important thing is that it can make that impression.

Just Beautifull, the way she's kinda sad, and the background mix.. just ok for me...
1 year, 11 months ago
The color change is pretty nice, but there are a lot of little flaws (blunt ends on hair, color leaks, strange lines on the face and eyes, lines not connecting, shades of color not connecting, sudden change in line thickness/strange lines (her left arm for example)), on the vector when viewed that big that wouldn't be nearly as noticeable if you had downsized it... I know you were probably tired after making the vector, but the background is really disappointing..

Nice color change. Good work

Great job with the new bg. As everyone said, it looks much better now. And the new bg really suits the overall picture more.

Awesome!

Nice choice with Freezing, I thought that my wallpaper will be the first and last for a long time. I wanted to comment already earlier, but happy that I waited a bit cause now with the second revision it looks much better. Certain outlines could be a bit thinner, but regardless of that is a great vector, which makes a great wallpaper as result. Special thanks for walling my favorite Satella-senpai :3 +Fav
PS. Too bad it doesn't comes also in 4:3 version, now I need to cut the sides. Or buy a new 16:10 screen, lol.

Yea I couldn't let your wallpaper hang up there all alone, haha. Thanks for the suggestions I'll keep it in mind for my next one, or future revisions.

Simply Amazing!!!

Looks a lot better with the new background! Nice job hope to see more from your work.

Thanks! I plan to make more :)
1 year, 11 months ago
Colors are so attractive! I like it, as if I don't like the "big" outlines just around her.
I prefer the 2nd revision more hot! Keep it up!
1 year, 11 months ago
I like the revised version. The perspective and light seem to be correct and the vector is simple and clean. I wouldn't have blurred it that much, but other than that, it's a nice wall.
1 year, 11 months ago
Wow, I just started reading this manga too. I love the revised edition, the background is much better suited with the vector of her. Great job :)
1 year, 11 months ago
I like your new version a lot, the front image new color pallete is better than previous one, but I think the background needs more detailed work.
1 year, 11 months ago
Yea I know my weakness in my backgrounds. I'll work on that for the next one. Thanks!
1 year, 11 months ago
I'll wait for your new version

She's not Satellizer,She's Amelia Evans,one of the E-Pandoras. (check the raws to see what's going on)
Anyways She Is Gorgeous though :D just like almost all of Dal-Young Lim's Female Characters :D
