Hey there Animepaper o/ This will be my first wallpaper here so be gentle please :3
I always loved the whole monochrome with a splash of colour style, I have no idea why but I do. ANYWHO! There are about 67 layers and I spent about half a day on it, on and off. If you even care the music I was listening to while working most of the time was "Blackmill"
Vector: http://www.animepaper.net/art/230774/senaOriginal Picture: http://www.animepaper.net/art/199848/boku-wa-tomodachi-ga-sukunai
Hope you like it :3
EDIT OH MAH GAAAAAHHHH!!!! I got "Today's Top Wallpaper" I am so happy! Thank you all :3

Good job on your first wall, I like how you made the vector different by changing the colors, I like the arrangement of everything and the typography is well placed and a good font! Looking forward to your next wall!

Excelente trabajo, lastima que no la tienes en 1920x1080p

In certain ways, I like it more as the colored version, now it has a better depth. One thing though, you used quite a big vector, so no clue why you stopped on a middle sized resolution like that. I have a 24" LED screen and is not the real deal as by a 1920x1200/1920x1080 would be. Also I'm pretty sure you could find a better text, as something so boring as her name, like some quote or related sentence, decorating it in a similar way as the character could make it a outstanding piece.

Thank you for your critique. To be honest the reason why I stopped on a middle sized resolution is because I am so used to making wallpapers for myself that I completely forgot I was uploading this one to AP >.< It was a stupid mistake that won't be happening again :)
As for the text, I have something to admit.... I have never watched the series D: I know right?! It is terrible! I just saw the vector and wanted to use it >.< and that is the reason why it is just her name. But admittedly I could of done with more research at least, bad Folset!
Thanks again ^-^ enjoy the 1080p version I just uploaded :D

Awesome! The contrast here is really good, and the monochromatic scale with the blue really gets a good melancholy feeling to the piece.

Nice wall, i actually like it very much and the vector has been blended perfectly, although i agree with "akiranyo" about the resolution and text, thanks for sharing this.
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Thank you ^-^ I have uploaded a higher res for you all :3
9 months, 2 weeks ago
It is a total pleasure :D You will definitely be seeing more from me, as for this specific anime.... not too sure to be honest, sorry. It depends on the other vectors or pictures ^-^
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Fantastique! Magnifique! I just love the overall feeling and balance in this wallpaper. That blue really enhances the monochromatic effect and makes it so much more interesting. If I where to describe it with three words it would be cool, clean and stylish - just the kind of wallpapers I like! There is one thing however that I don't like... There is no 1080p version T____T
9 months, 2 weeks ago
1080p version granted!!! And thank you so much for your comment <3
9 months, 2 weeks ago
It appears that I have made a serious blunder regarding the resolution. And I have fixed it!!! uploading a 1080p version now Thank you all!
9 months, 2 weeks ago
you have done a great job. you change the background color from a shine to dark. This arrangement is wonderful, because you give the vector and the wall a new life. Also, you choose blue color for the main color, l love it so much ,because i am the big fans of blue^^
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Thank you ^-^
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Actually I rather like the text and I love the color change (I always have a thing for monochromatic with a splash of color but that concept tend to get boring and overused after a while). I like that you used blue that matches the butterfly. It's one of the element that I find attractive about her (it's her unique factor). I adore the composition and the texture you used and that weird abstract thing you got all over her. I stupidly tried to make sense of that thing ._.
9 months, 2 weeks ago
I don't think I want to admit how many Monochromatic with a splash of colour wallpapers I have in my wallslide folder >.> anyway thank you for your comment :D
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Nice!

Wow, this is a really nicely composed wall. The image is clean, the colors are vibrant, and it just "works".
Good job.

I know this blonde girl this one looks good but she needs more colors.
9 months, 2 weeks ago
That would kinda defeat the purpose of the style.
9 months, 2 weeks ago
I really love Sena and like very much of your wall, I think the monochrome was a good choice but mainly because you've done a really good job on the wall, the blue color to contrast with the all wall it's very good.. You should watch the anime, next season it's coming soon xD Anyway good work and congrats for your first wall!!
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Thank you very muchly and I actually have started watching the anime :D is good quite far... then again I am only on episode 2 >.>
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Oh wow for a first wall, this is really good, man.
Wonderful choice for the color changes. I'm a fan of minimal palettes and I especially love the old gray + 1 bright color trick. nicely done.
If I have to point something out, though, it that the decorative... things around the character look like they were roughly extracted. everything else looks top notch so this tiny little detail really stands out. other than that, this is some really good stuff and I'm happy it got into today's top walls. well deserved.
Give yourself a pat on the back for this one, you're already better than I was when I was just starting. Keep this up and you'll be going places! (keep your feet planted firmly on the ground, though.)

Thank you very muchly, Brostep and thanks for the badges, too :D
Yeahhh unfortunately the quality of the abstracts were not the best and as a result the wall suffered. Thank you for the critique though, I appreciate it :)
I have not just started though :P I have been doing graphic design for a few years now.. it is only now that I have started to upload to animepaper :) I have done some really terrible walls in the past xD and I will probably do bad ones in the future too, you just wont see them :P
Thanks again <3
9 months, 2 weeks ago
I guess that explains it. I started walling at around the same time I started doing graphic design.
I have dozens of these terrible walls that will stay hidden in my hard drives forever. I know what you mean. I still make these terrible walls from time to time lol
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Hey goodjob on the wallpaper! Like the simple black look and fits my screen well! Keep up the good work!
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Thanks, I will try my best :)
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Wow, good job! I love the monochrome. I personally love the flowers/feathers that outlining her. Good job!
9 months, 2 weeks ago
They do kinda look like flowers and feathers, don't they xD Thanks :3
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Nicely done, thanks for sharing.

The wallpaper is great, the show is great, I wonder if Sena's fanbase is the biggest? A similar one with Yozora would be a godsend. My whining aside, this wall IS wicked good.
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Okay tell you what, when I am done responding to all these awesome people who have commented, Including yourself thank you :D , I will go have a look at the Yozora vectors.. see if anything sparks my interest :3 can't guarantee that anything will come out of it though!
9 months, 1 week ago
I didn't think you'd actually give it thought, some arrogance on my part :O Im really looking forward to it then, im cheering you from the sidelines :D (EDIT:) What the hell is that "pretty bacon pancakes" tag?! "Meat" would make sense though... D:
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Interesting concept, and the picture is not bad
.... In fact it is very good and so simple that it catches my attention, and clear as senna is the star of your wall is the best! hahahaha, this very cool! gravias for sharing! n_n +
9 months, 2 weeks ago
haha thanks xD and pleasure :3

Great work. I for one am allso a big fan of grayscale with 1 effect colour, though I like red most your blue/teal works really well. From preview I though background was completely black so I was pleasantly suprised from details you put on background. I do think that decarations around cute Sena-chan are really really nice in desing, but as it was allready pointed out I do notice jaggedness in them. Other than that arrangement is pretty nice and I think you kept it simple enough not trying to put too much stuff on screen.
It s kinda funny to notice how chance in colours makes expression of Sena so much diffrent from kinda embarased and shy of an original to more of a questioning. I really feel like she is waiting for an answer from me with is pretty cool.
Anyways without any more useless ramble. Thank you for this wallpaper and wonderfull work. I'm really looking forward to seeing some more works from you.
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Useless ramble?! What you talking?! Yours was one of my favourite comments thank you :D
I do apologise for the jagged edges of the abstracts but there was little I know about that could fix it. If you have any methods I would really like to hear them :) Also thank you for commenting on the background, I am glad to see that people did not miss it ^-^ put quite a bit of work into making sure it was just right.. Not saying that everyone else didn't notice ;)
Talking about the background, it was originally a tint of blue in some spots but I made it grayscale instead because it distracted from the focal.
Thanks again for the comment :)

so beautiful
9 months, 2 weeks ago
Awesome wallpaper! I'm glad you used one of my vector to create this artistic esthetic wall, and I especially like the choice of colours (this blue is so vivid and beautiiful!!!) Congrats!!! Added a s fav, of course!
9 months, 2 weeks ago
-bows- thank you for the amazing vector Cilou <3
9 months, 1 week ago
I would say vector is quite pretty choice with a nice perspective, I didn't watched that series but saw character earlier and I like her design. May be one of prettiest Cilou vector I saw, but enough on that, just gonna leave it on "nice choice". Now, your manipulation on that vector's colors is done really well and you didn't left any weird color artifacts behind. That's not always easy so good job on that, and your choice of deep blue fits quite well. The background effect you made fits image nicely and also fits color well. Style of it is nice, although on higher resolution I can see some bugs in it. Not really sure how you made it, I would guess it was some weird brush, but I think it was suppose to be used smaller hence some parts look like low quality. The fact that BG is black with some small grudge undertone doesn't bother me, although I think you could have make some more creative way to connect it to text (I can see text works kinda like mask for it, maybe some parts could be visible in some nice way, dunno), and perhaps you typography could be a bit better (mostly font choice).
In the end through, it's your first wallpaper, and you done much better that most other people that are new to walling with their first wall. It's obvious you have a good sense of style and color, and with some experience you'll be making some solid walls for us.

Thank you so much for the constructive criticism, Deto :) I really appreciate it. I will be doing my best to improve in the future ^-^
9 months, 1 week ago
Very detailed work.
Destruction is always good in my book. What makes this wall stand out a lot is all the reflective lighting and texture. I can feel around the mecha and imagine it how it would feel like. The fire feels alive and all the embers scattering through the air. The cord hanging on the shoulder was a nice touch.
Stronger fire lighting would make the wall stand out more. It feels like it's too drowned in within all the debris and dust and it's hard to feel its intensity.
9 months, 1 week ago
I completely agree with you... but I have no idea what you talking about xD think you may have commented on the wrong wall ^-^

Great job on this wallpaper

I like it: I am a fan of blues being coupled with neutral colors :D Awesome! Pretty simple, but then again, aren't wallpapers supposed to be simple? You know, so your shortcuts in your desktop wouldn't look convoluted or something :D

This is REALLY good for a first wall, I really mean it. ( my first wall was basically using at random photoshop brushes, it was awful xD) I love the changes of the vector, I really like the colors here. I would only like to point a few things(that maybe other people already said xD):
The text could be a lot better, the font is really plain for something that's being used to balance the composition of the wall. Also you could add some effects to it (it should be a little bigger) but trying to avoid colors (in this case) since the idea is that the character is the center of attention.
The things around her look like they were poorly extracted. Maybe using shape layer to extract them or vectoring them (if you don't know how to vector, there are a few vector groups here in AP that may help you :) also you can check some tutorials at deviantart ) When you make renders like this one you have to be extra careful to match the style of the character you're using.
Finally you could try blending this to the background, maybe using a little gradient to make the flowers(? that's what they look like to me haha) fade into the background, that would give a better effect of the perspective.
I hope this was helpful, at least a little :) keep it up! I'll be waiting to see more from you :D If you need help you can ask anytime.
