I've wanted to do a wall for us for a while :3 i decided i wanted to do a userpage, and after chatting with tate for a bit, i finally ofund a scan that i liked. It's from gunslinger girl. And it just suited what i wanted right away. So, i decide, vectoring owuld be best. But i didn't want an uber-detailed vector. i wactually wanted it more abstract and simplified, so i went with it. That means it's not perfect, but thats the way i wanted it. Their fingers are weird, and their violins are a loose version of a violin, so don't start whinning about how the strings aren't supposed to be all the same with and the tuners are all weird and what not. i played violin for a few years myself, so i know what they look like >_>This wall will eventually make it to a userpage/layout for AP for anyone to use as soon as i get some time. In the mean time, cheer the Crimson Orchestra on as we grow as wallers, and hopefully win some battles along the way :3

I wanted to use that scan for a while! Oh well. Well obviously, the vector work is nicely done and an intereting choce of not including the faces. Great simple wall. Getting a fave!

it really does suite the crimson orchestra kalico~ i don't know why i like people playing the violin it's just so elegant <33 in this wall it really does give the impression of the 'crimson' in 'orchestra', it's almost sadistic >D *lovelove*

you know... I have a wierd fear of faceless people... =( it seriously creeps me out... but ignoring the faceless girl... I love it ^^ the texture and feel is great it makes me ant to grab my violin an play along xD *fav*

Im not digging the vector. I think you over-simplified it, it looks like something you vectored in 5 minutes. The colors are vivid and alive, which brings some needed life to the wall, though.

wow nicely done gj
6 years, 10 months ago
I guess that this is what you call "an auto fav" XD Nice work with the composition and with the colors, the scan you used suit perfectly the spirit of our group. Maybe blending the vector with the background a bit more would be better.... But I really like it ^_^ FAV +
6 years, 10 months ago
ahhah good creativity work here! Definitly fits the whole "Crimson Orchestra" group and of course the color red sure represents it! Unique, creative and outstanding! Love the theme of it too :) Great, love the dark background and the vectored work on the scans are just awesome! I love it! favorite! GO CRIMSON ORCHESTRA!!!

Very very nicely done though red dominant is not really my cuppa tea. Nice grungey theme as well and like the logo on the background. The boys in your group must feel a bit left out - lolz! Good luck with your battles!

wow! very nice! and so cool. ^^
6 years, 10 months ago
I did not expect this sort of wall from Gunslinger.. Then again, girls who use big guns isn't whats usually expected.. Nicely done with a..rather abstract bg? I do say, the pose they use would have gone well if it were evangelion themed.
6 years, 10 months ago
That's an interesting wall, but I'm somewhat not really all that excited about the faceless faces xD
But nice work as always Kalico, indeed very nice!
I'm alwas watching >_>

6 years, 10 months ago
I like it, the idea really fits well with what the Crimson Orchestra is all about. I'm a huge fan of vectors without outlines and such, and the faceless girls give it a kind of eerie feeling... and I like having wallpapers with some sort of feeling coming out of them :P You also put our logo in the background :0 We is the bomb. Nice work Kalico.
6 years, 10 months ago
Very surreal, I like your use of vectors though, and the colors look very nice. I'll have to add it to my favorites.
6 years, 10 months ago
Nice vector work its really simple yet it works well with the wallpaper as do the colors. I really liked this wallpaper it was one that caught my eye, so keep up the good work!

Haha, love how your vector art. It's really simple yet it looks so nice. Good luck in your battle and may glory be with the team :)
6 years, 10 months ago
mmmh at last i can comment this :) the vector concept is really nice, but what i like most is the BG, just grungy enough with composition that really works. no in fact what i love the most is the overall, these faceless character (that sticks soo well with the anime, these soulless, personality-less characters) in a somewhat tormented world... Kalico you kick asses XD

Wow, I see so many wallpapers on this site that would be much cooler without the text. O.o I like the vector, except for the hands. They look odd/off balanced for some reason. The colours are nice, bright and alive. Red is indeed good. The text just kills it, imo. But yeah, text hater here. It's a good job by AP's standards though. ^^
6 years, 9 months ago
Blood red on black. Good choices. Washed out faces - even better. Nice details in the background. Not distracting, but adds to the mood.
6 years, 9 months ago
oh i'm loving this one.great use of colours and grundge. the bg is great. love your vector work. love the concept too ^^. i will add this to my favs xD. awesome job xD

I love how it looks so ghostly.
6 years, 8 months ago
I love the vectors! Simple, but still vivid, not all vectors need to be super perfect, the no faces gives a great feeling to the piece!
6 years, 8 months ago
omg!!! its soo good!!! ^_^ thx soo much!
6 years, 7 months ago
Well... i don't like too much the concept ^^U... beacuse the only who took violin is Henrrieta.
6 years, 7 months ago
Whoa, the piece just... jumps off the screen. Primal red scratches everywhere, faceless subjects, it's like a concerto of death. Cool concept. I like the vector texturing a lot too, I'd like to use something like that on my next one, I think.
6 years, 6 months ago
nice vector, its very clean oh, they have no faces..scary, musicians that have no faces!
6 years, 6 months ago
Red and black is a nice way to do these kind of these, cool wallpaper
6 years, 5 months ago
Oh la la... Killer colors composition, great vectoring, and impactful brushes. Excellent play on the theme; girls playing violins in black (orderly), grunge splatters and brushes (chaotic).

6 years, 4 months ago
This is awesome! I usually like Gunslinger Girl walls and art for their kinda flowy, classical elegance, but I love this for its kind of dangerous, bold style. It's very smooth and rough around the edges at the same time. Faceless Henrietta is kinda scary, but I think necessary for the overall effect of the wall. *thumbs up* :D
6 years, 3 months ago
Wow. This is really amazing. I love the red colour and how you did everything so nicely with black as well. Very cool idea for this wall and I absolutely love the faceless characters. Very unique and original. The text looks really good and I love the background as well. Gosh, I just love the whole thing. Awesome work! +favs :)

For me, this is a Gunslinger Girl Wallpaper that shows in a very delicate way what these girls are doing. I see it all symbolic and stuff, I can't help it.

We began to shine. Someone can stop us, right? We began to flap. Someone had the right to stop them, right?
It's on my lips. It's in my dreams. It's a story told by two. You say you want to be happy. You've already been so many times. What do you want? What's lacking? Where will you turn? Even if you ask, I won't have the answer.
The moment you support me, don't forget the promises we exchanged this summer.
We began to shine. If it's us we'll grasp tomorrow sometime, right? We began to flap. If it's them then they'll find a shining tomorrow, right?
I was really expecting it. I was really doubting it. What was it? Who was it? They say he's a good person. He seems like a person I don't care about.
The morning glow is dazzling. It pierces my eyes. My breast hurts. I was a little confused.

5 years, 8 months ago
I like! The two main colors mix well, love how you were able to get the violins to match. I like how you didn't include the faces. The light lightens the wallpaper as well as symbolizes something else. You were about to capture the anime in a wallpaper, well done.
5 years, 8 months ago
It's a sweet wallpaper but i just just wandering do u know that symbol in the back is a Sikh holy symbol called a Khanda, lol don't worry not gonna give u a lecture or something i am just curious as to what gave u the idea to use it, very intriguing ! (o_o)

The simplisity of this peice simply reads to me "Perfection." You truely prove that the less you have actually gives you more, no doubt this peice is pure proof of that. I do enjoy how you managed to create contrast with the silouettes and the background by using black and only black. I have a feeling if you used any form of color/neutral it would have been offensive to the eyes, so good choice on that aspect. The muted flesh tone of the characters give it a nice quiet sonata feeling but the aggresive Red of the violins balance it out with terror. Very good indeed, though I do not enjoy how the symbol in the bacground (near girl on left*my left*) meshes a bit much with the girls silouette confusing my eyes. It makes my eyes sorta guess on where her body starts and ends. But I do enjoy the feel and concept of the art. 9.0 on this one Keep it up!!
