This is my 4th wall, and yes its no more fate/ stay night. The motivation of making this wall is the vectorness april theme contest. The contest's theme is rain, and i was thinking fate/ stay night isn't suitable so i tried my luck in elfen lied scan gallery. This is how i got this scan hehe, i like the positioning of lucy and the lightings on her in the scan. Thanks neon84 for the scan.
I've like to vector so vectoring is no problem.^^ The bg is the thing that give me trouble. The main bg was a stock photo,at first i've tried a abstract one but it doesnt really blends in well. I've played with the fliters and blendings toget the bg to be more anime-like. Since putting the vector over the the bg lacks of depth and makes the vector looks oversized, as suggestied by blu3angl in SZ, i've added in some tree trunks and some grass in the fore/midgrounds. Had not much problem with the rain too, just that the rain droplets on lucy is abit tricky. the rain was made by a tut found at www.tutorialized.com. Thanks beckor for the suggestion of the bg. Thanks to other comments made by the shellova,chibicrystal and yulaw in SZ i were able to correct the lightings problem and to blend in the bg and the vector more well.
For the title, i got it from the scan as well hehe. "Lilium" is the opening for elfen lied, and since i'm doing a wall based on this scan which somehow represents the theme song, i decided to name it "for Lilium".
Hmm the style of the wall is still the same, hope that i can come out with new styles when i got the ideas. Hope you guys like it.
[Edit]Did not add the nipples as shown on the scan, it looks ugly anyway :) *Updates -Rain is now more obvious.

Wow. I love it. Dramatic mood. If it wasn't so blurry, then it'd really be crazy. :\ But that add's the effect, so I'm just confusing myself right now. The scan looks a bit strange though. Lovely text, btw. The only thing that really bothers me is the scan, I'm not sure what you did to it, but it seems rather awkward now. But really great work on the bg. :D I've fave it. :)

big el fand here yep, you did some magic with the bg, looks **** great i think 'for lilium' is a rather weird idea, but that matters the least anyway, am i supposed to see rain here? hmm, pretty hard to figure... but yea, now i see it, shes soaked... the hair shouldnt be standin like that over her back, thats what wet hair just doesnt do theres somethin else that disturbs me bout lucy here, not really sure what... so id say u did a much better job with the bg than with the scan and im not sure bout the rain... but i still like it beacuse of the dark atmosphere and originality... few walls are located in a forest

You've got the theme alright!!! Matching object and matching colours. Matching scan... everything falls into place beautifully...

Very sweet looking wallpaper, the background looks amazing. The shadow is perfect and matches right with the background. i don't see anything wrong with this one :D Keep it up and release more :)

I think you've captured the spirit of the show well. At first I found it to be a little too blurry, but it didn't take long for the dark & primal imagery to win me over. The text is wicked, and the whole thing just flows. Losing the nipples was a good idea too. Well done.

Very good. The contrast is nice, and I like the scan. The trees are very well made, they look realistic. ^_^ The colours are dark and awesome. The text is nicely smooth, too. Nothing bad to say.... ;D
7 years, 1 month ago
Ah, I was just thinking what is wrong with this picture, but you wrote it yourself: "[Edit]Did not add the nipples as shown on the scan, it looks ugly anyway". I can't say I do not agree with you that this looks a lot better. The light effects in this wallpaper are downright awesome, I didn't notice the rain effect untill I read about it in the description. The blending between the vector and the stock photo went really well for as far as I'm concerned. Above that I did like the lucy character a lot. That together makes a +fav.
Btw: I do think the wallpaper's title is a bit weird, you should've called it: "I went out on a rainy day and forgot my clothes". That really fit's her "Doh!" position better ^^

Dark, brooding, dramatic, this wall is definitely a work of art. An amazing job all around with this wall I love it. ^_^

I didn't notice it at first, but what's with the dark areas between both her chest and face, and her hair and body? I know that in the original picture of lucy, those areas where dark, so why didn't you you puch those out when you vectored it?

an excellent job indeed! If Edgar Allan Poe's still alive today, he'd use this as an inspiration. Rich, dark, unmistakably macabre and somber. the background gives the total emphasis of sadness and (or) being let go.

Hey good work! Glad it finnaly came of of session zero! Great job! Great Wall!

This is a very nice wallpaper and I think you've blended the scan and the background really well. I get a real sense of dispair from your composition and the way you've handled the shift in light really accomplishes that. Great work! :)

Really beautiful wallpaper, nice and calm. With neutral colours too... Green. But again, I liked nearly all Adhumi Tohru's creation. A really well done wallpaper, though I think you need some fixing on the forest just on the top of the hand. I think it is better that way. Good job!

I do agree with you on certain aspects on what SHOULDN'T of been included in Elfen Lied. The series DID try to be a few things that it shouldn't of when it was dealing with the darker nature of humanity, but I guess it helped to serve to lighten the load. I guess it's all up to the person cause this is one of my favorite shows of all time.
As for the wall, I've stated it over and over again, but I'll say it once more. This wall is purely a masterpiece. I absolutely adore the background the most. It greatly reminds me of the opening art (and I didn't know that it was influenced by Klimt until Lilac told me about it =3) and I absolutely ADORE the opening art. The lighting, the texture, the swirls. Everything is just simply flawlessly brought together to form this beautiful and perfect masterpiece. What I love even more is you stripped what would make this wallpaper only for a few (her nipples are showing in the original scan) and made it for everyone. That's the kind of artwork I love, something that can be easily viewed by everyone. Overall, this is a work of art, a pure genius masterpiece and the best Elfen Lied wall I have ever seen. I'm especially inlove with the textless version of this wall.
Congrats, Candy, you are the goddess of walling =3. Btw, the solitude theme fits perfectly with this wall. Especially when you think of Lucy during her child and teen years. Absolutely perfect.
5 years, 3 months ago
I can see why no one guessed correctly. Even I wouldn't think this would be your work. :D
Wow! I was amazed by this. I mean the background was very unique when you got the idea from the scan. You gave a nice gradient and decorations to make this wallpaper stand out.
Despite the nudity it's a beautiful art. I'm glad you didn't add those "unmentionable" details to it because it would seem distracting if you know what I mean. :D You vectored the outlines very smoothly and got the shade areas perfectly. :3 The texture you added for the skin gave a nice touch to it. I'm glad you made those markings around her stand out because it made the wallpaper interesting and unique too. :D
This definately deserves fave because I can't see how would a wallpaper like this not be an eye-catcher

What a beautifully sad wallpaper.
First thank you for doing wallpaper of a less commonly used scan for this show, unlike many of the other wallpapers here. The colors on this wallpaper are really one of my favorite aspects of this wallpaper. They are so "pure" they're appear almost "fluid" like. I'm not quite sure how to put it but the wallpaper's colors have life to them. You also did a great job blending Lucy from the scan with your forest foreground.
P.S. I think removing the nipples was an appropriate choice, otherwise I would have suggested making them less "erect" or prominent.
2 years, 11 months ago
I love the effect of Lucy alone in the woods. And the sentence, brief but with that word that reminds me Elfen Lied everytime I hear or read it: Lilium. Very good work (+fav)
