This wallpaper was something I worked on the last 2 days. The scan was from a BL manga "KIKI" by Homerun Ken. When I first saw it, I absolutely love it so I had to vector it and make a wallpaper out of it. The original scan was cut off so I expanded the entire background out. The trickiest part was doing the waves as well as the clouds in the sky. I changed some parts of the original image as well. I changed his hand, which original was held onto by some guy's hand sticking out. I didn't like that so I changed it to what it looks like now and added the apple. Then I changed the scarf from his clothing to make it look as though it is transforming into flying doves. I also added the vines in the wave to make it seem like the water is slow wrapping around him. I wanted everything to look surreal or at least not normal. Anyway, I hope you like the wallpaper.

EDIT: I updated this wallpaper with more higher resolutions. Even if the wallpaper shows up as widescreen, I originally made the wallpaper for 3:4 aspect ratios (1600x1200 and above) so that is the ORIGINAL version. The widescreen and 1280x1024 are crops.

The composition is very unique. I thought that coloring and the cloud were laid out to it, and the sense was very good. It is a wonderful wallpaper that becomes cool feelings only by seeing.

omfg! zomg

umg, I hate, that you didn't make the over all outline of the character as a shape rather than lines.

btw, this is the first wall that the outline is done in such a matter...and yet Im still faving for its overall awesomeness.

i love it!! what an interesting concept and execution.

my one complaint would be that the white on the waves is too white. an off-white color would allow the focus to remain on the almost "pure" white character.

Have a nice day!

I'm listening to "Will You Be Ready" by Deep Forest right now and when I came across this wallpaper I was just dumbstruck at how well it fit the chorus of the song - I'm not sure how, yet, but it does ^^

The scarf is undoubtably my favorite part of the editing you did - itz just so clever and adds a nice peaceful touch to the surreal idea you're going for. Also I really did like the curling, swirling waves ^^

This is incredibly simple and clean and love it for that. ♥ You did a great job

Nice simple color scheme of blues. The viewing angle with the panoramic arrangement of clouds makes for a very surreal scene. Water looks a bit odd but the style is good

Oh my... this is really beautiful vector work you have done! I really love the pastel colors of blue and white that you used, and the clouds are so pretty! I've never heard of Homerun Ken, but this wall is so alluring that I couldn't help but click on it for a better look. The red apple adds a little nice twist to the pastel colors. Nice wall! :)

What I really liked about your wallpaper was the background. The swirls in the water and circular arrangement of the clouds looks really nice. The only problem I have with it is the shading of the person; it's too light and hard to see exactly what it is. Good job overall!

Great work! You really did a good job with the clouds, waves and the idea with the doves. The perspective makes it just too interesting; I can't get my eye off it.

What I like about the apple is, that this is the only thing that's not as 'sharp' as the rest. It's shining makes it an attention drawer (and the red clour of course).

Very nice!

The vectors look clean and smooth, and the shapes are very eye catching. The perspective and movement are both very intreging. The light around the apple is a little on the bright side, but not unbearably so. His right leg underwater looks a little wide, too.

Overall, very nice composition.

The atmosphere or feeling is gives I find a little creepy, despite the bright colors, but that's probably a personal thing ^^;

Amazing work on the wallpaper. It definitely gives off a feel of surrealism.

Love the perspective from his stance. Different, but very creative. You did an awesome job on the clouds and especially the waves as well. Although, I would suggest that you raise the character's skin tone to a bit darker colour to make him stand out more from the bright colours used in the BG. The work you put into this wallpaper was well worth it.
