I thought I should jump on the bandwagon and make a wallpaper, too! =D
Everything on this wallpaper is vectored, well, except for the text. I vectored the scan of Zero first, the scan came from APA. Choosing the background was hard since stock photos doesn't really fit the scan. So instead, I captured a screenshot from the anime and vectored it. Sorry if I'm missing a few details on the Goddess to Candidate for Goddess fans, the screenshot was small and blurry. Then I sent both vectors to Photoshop to brighten the colors and added the text.
The vectors were done in Macromedia Flash 5, not Photoshop Illustrator. I'm still getting used to Illustrator and vectoring proved difficult for me using that program, so I did it in Flash 5 which is easier for me. It took me two days to make this.
Hope you like it.

It's good. The vectoring is top notch, but I feel more could have been done to the background. The main render came out really well though. Nice colors.

That's vectored? Wow...it looks good. The scan has some weird jagged edges, though. And the text looks a bit plain, I think. Sorry I can't give you ideas for the text, I can't make wallpaper text worth crap. XD
Congratulations on your first wallpaper submission. *hugs*

This is a nice wall. the colors are very rich and clean I really don't like the background though. congrats!

pinky! w00t! for a 1st wall u rawked XD... i think u decreased the size of the character too fast, so it resulted in it having jagged edges, try minimizing gradually ummm the text i think it's a tad too big and yeah a little too plain, being a text whore like me..i'll just advice u to go crazy on it XD or like PM me LOOOL

That's really good. ^^ I like the whole thing, but I think the goddess needs to show out a bit more. ^^ Nice work on the vectoring! +fav

This is really cool i love it...i wish i can vector :D The anime looks interesting *looks for torrent* :P

i dislike this wall.
although a lot of effort did go into it... it looks otherwise.
there couldve been alot more things that you couldve done instead of combining two scans and calling it a wallpaper. people need to learn that vectoring a scan doesnt make up for lack of innovation in the background. A lot of people will see this and assume that it's okay and start shitting out craptacular walls with the scan vectored and the bg crappy. =/
one thing I keep asking myself is "when did vectoring (vector tracing) ever replace tradition recging?" noone even bothers to wall complex scans anymore... or when they do they just leave it dirty... BLAH.
Stealth edit: brommie pointed out to me that this was really your first wall ever. for a 1st wall its actually pretty good. better than most... but my comments above still apply.
I just assumed she had walling experience because she is soo leet.

Oh man, I used to watch that anime in German! One of my favs. Thanks for the wall so much. They are hard to find ... Great work.
7 years, 10 months ago
awesome job pinkey! xD the vectoring is great, and the wall is simple, yet not because the vectors are awesome and complicated. and the text looks great too. it doesn't overwhelm the peice, just adds a lot of class. great job pink! now go make more xD
7 years, 10 months ago
I've nothing to say. All has already been written : It's simple, the vectoring is good, the text is the problem ^^
For a first wall, it's very good (better than my first... >__>)
7 years, 10 months ago
The positive : The colours are perfect. The character is perfect. The simple is perfect. So the wallpaper is perfect too ^_^'
The negative : Why just the head of the goddess? You can use half the body or chest too head only. But it's still perfect.

The character is quite well vectored, so good job on that. I'm not too fond, however, of the blurry background. It's usually more comfortable for me if I were to stare at something sharp and focused.

Hey Nice work, that picture is really nice and also you had a nice idea with the screen shot thanks for sharing it
7 years, 9 months ago
wow, that's an awesome vector! It's one of the best one's i've seen, and it's of Zero too ^^-..he's my favorite chara (so far) from the show. I'm watching the series now, and I like it so far. Also like this wallpaper too, but I think you could've done a bit more with the background. But the vector(s) make up for it, lol.

looks blurry to me
7 years, 6 months ago
I know i'm not supposed to talk about the series, but they really did end it too soon. That's partly why I like this wallpaper, Zero's look captures the whole this-is-so-new-and-exciting-to-me outlook that I loved about the show. He, juxtaposed with the Goddess, makes me wonder what future he will come to fulfill. And, even though zero is the one in focus, I love how both he and the Goddess are crisp in their design. I like it! Take care, happy halloween

I love Candidate for Goddess!! This wallpaer is really cool although I must agree with some others when they say that a little bit more could have been done with the background, no offense :). I know it must have taken hours to get the right background and how horrible it is to be critized. I really must congratulate the author on the choice of the background though. I goes really well with Zero and the whole scene. Congrats!!! :lol:

7 years, 4 months ago
i like this wall though. personally, i find the quality good. and the text works for me. it's not an easy find to see outlined works.
*downloads*
i see more detail now.,
my only critique goes out for the jaggs and the blurr.. as i personally think the background need not be in a complete blur.
overall, i like it and the effort given to it shows.

Gorgeous wall. You blended the scans together wonderfully. Probably the best I've seen in a long time.
6 years, 9 months ago
The background could definitely use some work, but it really is awesome work :-d
6 years, 8 months ago
It's a great image of the goddess, likes a big statue that has life, but zero has a silly suit.
6 years, 8 months ago
Very nice job- I like the contrast between the mecha and Zero. :)
6 years, 7 months ago
very good ^^ i liked the ingrid behing Zero ^^ I disagree with those guys! I think the background sould be just as it is. I mean... that is the place qhere the ingrids are, right?If you put a sky or something like that on the background it would be weird be cause it wouldn't make sense. ^^ see ya

Great work whit the vectoring, only fore 1280-960, I suppose that’s its original resolution; The 1600-1200 is rely pixelated.
6 years, 4 months ago
i love candidate for goddess although i never watch it the pic really clear i guess the letters should be alittle darker((or not)) just don't mind that anyway nice job and the colour is great too
6 years, 4 months ago
good wall of zero, what a shame that the serie was too short... i really like it and want to see a lot. thanks for this wall
5 years, 11 months ago
wow nice vector! i liek it very much! xero looks great with that background, he really does, specially for what the anime is about! but i kind' agree that you could have done more with the background and not only stick a scan on top of the vector. other thatn tha i think its great! i like the font you did for the text! it matche perfectly with evrything! i like the scan but maybe you should have looked for other one that zero is like proud, or happy you know? but thast only y opinion! hope to see many more like that! keep up the god work!*_:) kaorux!*

Nice paper, I think the robot look nice on the background with the main character on the foreground.
