This wall is my entry for Vectorness March Monthly Challenge: Mecha Month . Since this time's topic is Mecha, I chose Tachikoma as my model. ^ ^
The blue tachikoma is a vector work I traced in illustrator with Gradient Mesh Tool . No brush work nor Photoshop effect. Mesh tool is very powerful thing when you want to show something with metal effects and lighting. However it's sort of difficult for me to use it properly. It took me two days to finish this mesh of thinking tank. And the deadline for submission is already close.[strike] So I rushed the gradient background with some setting scans and the novel "The laughing man".[/strike]
My first widescreen wall and first mecha wall as well. Stand Alone, but complex.
It has been a while since my last wall, so hope it get approved and you can enjoy it.

The background is a bit simple, but nice, the colors and the rings are looking good. The tachikoma is looking good, it fits to the background well. Nice wallpaper.

I didn't mind the plain background in the previous version but this is a nice change. I love the vector and good job on the mesh gradient... looks too complicated for me to even attempt >_< Great wall!

That looks FANTASTIC! I like the simple background design. The vector looks great too! Lots of detail! I like the rings to the sides and at the base of the wallpaper. They look really terrific! I like the lighting effect you used too! Favorite for sure!

I know that the scan this is from has a little bit of fog in it, and I can still see that fog in front of the tachikoma in your image. You should consider darkening the tachkikoma to compensate for this.

Background is kind of simple, but the vector looks pretty damn sweet.

You're right. I fit it with the original colors...so.....
I'll fix this problem soon. THANKS! ^ ^

That illuminating blue color is very beautiful. The colors are saturated perfectly! I like the placement of the rings, and the whole metal feel, coolness ^_^

Alittle too bright in the center methinks...aside from that, I love GITS. And I adore the Tachikomas. Keep up the work, and get better at it.

I disagree, it's not simple at all- since tachikoma-chan is done by hand right?
two thumbs up, I don't know anything about using the gradient mesh except that it is incredibly hard- but you managed to pull it off perfectly.
a favorite for me! <3

I loved it... the tachikoma are the cutest ever... XD... great effects you did with the program rings around the tachikoma... it could be a little happier, for the tachikoma are not just killing machines |(o_o)... but it's really awesome either way... 8)E... congrats

Aaand now it's time for . . . Tachikoma Karaoke! The 3D tachikoma looks surreal on the anime-style background, just like in the "dives" from the anime.

So few Tachikoma's are out there but without them SAC would not be the shining star it is. While minimalistic the details stick out and stay in my mind.

I like it. It's clean and maybe it's just me; but it sort of makes me feel like I just need to swipe left or right to view the next model and its specs.(Favorite)
