  • REVISION 1: warmer
  • REVISION 2: cooler

AP y u insist on revision 2? 1 (warmer) is better imo...derp.

Another warm-up wall! I really wanted to just wall Iskandar/Rider but I am so out of practice it would probably turn out horribly .-. Not going to make this descript long since I wrote a wall-of-text walkthrough to go with 3 videos for this- the most complete recording of my work process so far! They're all linked in the walloftext but I'll link them here as well.

Two thumbs up... way up!

Oh my. I browsed through the very detailed process of your work. It is hands down sheer talent and genius. Your comment on "...didn't want to make a scan to wall" and challenging yourself is absolutely commendable. I especially like the way you drew a new set of clothes for the character. And how you decided to stray away from the heavy lines of the orignal's and used your lines only as basis for the colors you will put down. The details in the background are enough to make the viewer look into it but not distracting enough to overpower the focus of your art work, the model. Everything else, the lighting, the shades, the colors, everything is pure talent and skill.

You finished this in three days, in your spare time... Life is so unfair!

... this is a very late reply. I apologize.

The written blurb is overlong, but since I don't do this sort of thing often I put in the effort- nearly as much effort to write that as to paint the wall, lulz. From the beginning I always liked reworking scans instead of sticking with the original form. It's probably artistic anarchy asserting itself, but since they'll never know...

I am glad you like the details and stuff. Three days is a stretch, still! People on dA can turn out art over a single Livestream session; I can't produce anything decent in one sitting, aside from paintchat scribbles. I'm still some distance away, but everyone improves with practice. Next thing you know you'll be making 4 hour masterpieces @PaoPorsche :D

By first, you mean the warmer version, yes? I'm biased toward that myself.

Avatar for Nessbad94

As I said before and continue saying now - people who make something like this always amaze me!

I browsed the detailed walk-through of your work - still can't believe you made this beauty in 3 days.

The painting itself is gorgeous; I like that you skipped the idea of reproducing everything as it was originally, and created something of your own; to tell you te truth, if I hadn't seen the scan, I'd say you did it from the start. Both versions are great!

I like how you changed her appearance, making the Queen, not the King )); the dress turned out just brilliantly, so the sword and the rest of her outfit;

I also like the design of the surrounding, especially the lightning/shading and the mix of colours to create gloomy yet very charming atmosphere.

Somehow, the entire wall 'flavour' reminds me a style of illustrations to the Umineko no naku koro ni novel - except the thing here's no butterflies/however at first I though those lights were them/.

To make long story short, +fav + my desktop and thanks for sharing it with us to feast our eyes!

Avatar for Tsunoh

Umineko! I love you for mentioning that. The fan art (not a fan of ryu's originals sorry lol) always depicts such a mysterious, haunting atmosphere. I have wanted to play the VN for the longest time but time constraints keep me from doing so.

If not drawing from scratch entirely, I like reworking scans for walls. The art is lovely, but like I mentioned in a previous comment there is a delicious anarchy in making something to follow your own vision. In my opinion Saber was more suited for Queenship anyway given her naivete; the dress was a bit of a gamble though since I have little experience drawing folds and this was intended as practice.

Thanks for the fav and feedback @Nessbad94!

Wow, there are so many things right with this that I'm at a loss for words. I'll just say that this looks incredible and the original scan pales in comparison to your work.

This is just like a painting on canvas and I just love it. The colours are beautiful and I like the outcome after you've changed the scan. Well, you did everything from scratch and it is amazing, from the details of the dress to the sword.

The combination of textures and colours are beautiful. The addition of lighting makes the wall looks calm and warm. Both versions are equally beautiful. Besides, watched the process of the making of this wallie and I managed to learn a thing or two. XD Thanks for sharing it with us.

Still, I'm impress to see your work. A fav from me definitely.

It makes me happy when people say they pick up something from my walkthrough/process (!!! that wall of text was nearly as much effort to write as painting the thing geh) I've been on a real texture kick lately, but it does make everything look more interesting and speeds up the process. It just entails a ton of cleanup afterwards. ahem

Glad you liked the wall, @reesha! I don't hang around the community much anymore, but I still try to help out by posting videos and those walls of text.

D: prefers the warm version too

u ;w; her dress is so pretty ;w; though I'm having quite some trouble figuring out her surroundings xD. and speaking of that; what is the symbolic meaning of the water/blood/cloud that you spoke of in the walkthrough?

It is all and yet none of the above. gets shot my scenic walls tend to wander into the abstract nowadays- maybe senility makes me more flexible than I used to be. Basically the only thing that is for certain is the chair! shrugs

More painting wallpapers, yes please. I am biased but really the smoothness of vector is cold and inflexible versus the warmth of painti-

gets chased by vector artists

Blurring some things out helped keep the focus on Saber in my opinion. I am a fan of warm tones in general, but I didn't expect AP's revision system to set the 2nd version as the default. Oh well, next time...

Thanks, @nat! My style has changed over time, but I tip my hat to Miwa Shirow's work- added my own flavor to it, but I tried to keep her face close to the original version. I did the clothes to practice drawing folds, but I'm glad you like it.

Might as well put it in: you seem kind of busy lately! I meant to contact you about some 'not found' issues I had on Nattoli a couple of days ago, but it seems the problem was on my end as it works fine now.

When I saw the original scan I almost fell off my chair. I cannot stress enough about how I love this wallpaper and the great feeling it exhibits! Saved and put immediately as background.
