I have no life. XD
[Full view please if you want to understand my (sad excuse for a) sense of humor. XD]
While this wallpaper looks deceptively simple, it took me quite a few days to get it right :P (stopping in between to do the momiji wallpaper). Hopefully, those who've watched Fruits Basket remember this scene from the anime. ^___^
Took me half an hour to scan through the episode to get sufficient screencaps for this. -_- 50% of the time, I worked on the other scans, hoping to make a succession of scenes, but then after vectoring them all, I deleted them and brought up this scene. -______-;; I wish I could have figured out earlier what I wanted to do.
I kept it monochrome because I rather like the effect and it doesn't detract from the text.
I'm crossing my fingers hoping that most of you are familiar with the literary vocabulary. ^^ If not, that's okay, too. It just might not be as amusing. I guess this wallpaper is a hit or miss. ^^;
I'm actually really pleased with this though... >_>; So without further ado, I bring you Le Tragedy .
PS For those who are inquiring about the title, yes, it was an intentional typo. ^^;; Sorry about the confusion!
Edit: Some of you felt that there was too much text, so I took the "Setting" out. >_>; I really couldn't part with the rest of it. T_T My apologies. Hopefully this is a little better.

Simple and creative. I wish there were coloured versions, but I know what you were going for with the Greyscale. ^_^ It is simple vectoring, but the lines look great. Good job!

U really have a sense of making wallpapers atleast..Awesome good job..Keep it up
5 years, 9 months ago
it's great ! but I don't know if you did it on purpose but "Le tragedy" it doesn't exist in french (french-speaker I'm). it would be "La tragedy" if you want a mix of english and french. And it would be "La tragedie" if you want it totally in french. Otherwise it's cool

Ya...i remmber the scene Where Honda Tohru invite her classmate over to yuki's house
Haha..it's funny and nice going with the black and white concept. ^_^
5 years, 9 months ago
All I can say is LOLXD
Origenal cute idea~ The black and white is nice~ And vectors to^.^
Keep up the great work^.^
5 years, 9 months ago
As asked above by Rose about the "Le Tragedy" thing, if this is an intentional typo ?
As for the wallpaper, it's nicely done, grayscales are fine and concept in itself is pretty amusing. There is too much intrusive text in it for me to be used as a proper desktop wallpaper, but could be nice as a poster on an actual wall though.
5 years, 9 months ago
Prince Yuki, are you okay? hehehehe........ it's you again, You made again a very cute wallpaper, Nice one! I'll add it again in my wishlist and at my favorites.
5 years, 9 months ago
Lol! Nice idea. I like the vectors. It's smooth and clean. =D A little too much text around the whole wall though. But i like the gray scale color scheme. It makes the scene look more dramatic. xD Haha this wall is definitely something different from what i usually see. So i'll add it into my favs. =3

Not a sad excuse for humour, your wallpaper is pretty fun ^^ Nothing to say on how it's made, the vector is clean and I think it's a good think to have kept it minimalistic, it almost feels like this could be seen in an old dictionnary or something like that ^^ Good work ^^
5 years, 9 months ago
Nice ! I like the black/white trame, simple but the style is great !

LoL - like the concept. I think you could've developed it a bit more with pictures of the other characters too rather than having all the same rice cakes.
Thanks for sharing =).

Very cute wallie! I love the definitions you put there, very humorous. Lols, the rice balls (I think that's what they are), are villians!!! Very creative! Awesome job~!

5 years, 9 months ago
I love it, it's so cute. I just thought the title was funny too; "Le Tragedy." Anyway, you can see Yuki's suffering, it's so apparent. The look on his face says, "Why me?" I like how it's simple too, the grayscale really sets the mood and it wouldn't be the same if it were in color.
5 years, 9 months ago
Oh gosh, this is so uber-cute!! <3 And not just cute - I mean, this is some seriously nifty vectoring ^-^ And it's funny! What more can a person ask for? Well, it's a must-fav! :D
5 years, 9 months ago
This wall is just great!! Firstly it's a Fruits Basket wally (huge bonus points from a Furuba fan), it's also really funny (I happen to really get your sense of humour) and it's clean (vector wise) with a great monochrome colour scheme. (Brushes the cobwebs away from the add a favourite option) A definite fav from a fav scrooge, thanks for sharing!
5 years, 9 months ago
I love that wallpaper!
You made an awesome job on this wall. The idea itself is so wonderful and unique that the wall deserves a fav ^^
I don't think that there is to much text because this is it that the wall gaves the special feeling. I feel a bit sorry for the ....... (yeah, what is it?) tragic hero. He's so cute but cramped with rice cakes.
All in one a great work. Looks not simple but really hard to do. Thanks so much for this lovely wall.

5 years, 9 months ago
Kawaii~~~~! I like it~! Thanks a lot!
5 years, 9 months ago
lol! This is great fun, and I'll enjoy using it on my desktop some time in the future. I love that scene, actually. His imagining the potential death by squashing if Tohru really had caught him--just look what she did to the rice cake she caught in mistake. A few people seem disappointed by the monochrome, I don't feel that way myself, if only because... Yuki's design already is gray and rice cakes already are white, so the only "colored" object would have been the background. *shrugs* I think it's fun to have a monochrome wallpaper, especially when most the great tragedies were brought to film in the 30s. Lovely concept and great work!
5 years, 8 months ago
It's funny. I swear it is. Anyway, I adore that you kept it in monochrome. I liked it because of the meanings too. ^^. Awesome job.
5 years, 8 months ago
hahaha, I love the humor of this wall. It's so sad and pitiful, but at the same time so funny! I'm especially fond of the word tags that you threw in there to describe the picture =)

5 years, 8 months ago
I really like the idea that you capture the context of the anime to the wallpaper. I love when the anime story is related, in this case, poor Yuki.
5 years, 8 months ago
ha ha! good one! the captured pic of yuki avoiding death from the grab of tohru's hand but escaped with jelly buns landin on top of him! plus the little dictionary info sure improves the image but not the colours! good job done means well done!
5 years, 8 months ago
I loved this episode of Fruits Bakset. :D I think keeping the colour scheme in greyscale was a good idea as opposed to colouring it. Complete cuteness. :)
5 years, 7 months ago
that has got to be one of the cutest walls ever! all of the zodiacs are so cute in animal form but yuki really takes the cake! the grey tones work so well. nice!
5 years, 7 months ago
Haha I remember the episode in fruits basket where that happened! Nice idea using black and white and also with adding those definitions in there. Pretty humorous wall.
5 years, 7 months ago
This is humorous and I can appreciate it! Poor Yuki-kun, though. The vectoring is awesome and I like the monochrome. You have sound judgment because adding color would've taken away from the wallpaper and made it too busy with the text.

5 years, 5 months ago
This is the funniest and cutest wallpaper I have seen ^^
5 years, 5 months ago
Very cute! What an original idea!!
The grayscale and shading looks very nice, although I think just a bit of color would have been nice - perhaps some pale colors for the title and crown, or just another monochromatic color for the background instead of gray. I do agree that the simplicity of the scans requires a clean look, like the one you've achieved.
There is just the right amount of text, too. However, it seems unnecessary to repeat each of the "terms," once normally and once with pronounciation marks. I think it would simplify things just to have the pronounciation marks, but put them in the larger font to distinguish them from the definitions.
You want to be careful with the definitions themselves. For example, you seem to conflate pathos with suffering: pathos is the feeling of the observer, while suffering is the feeling of the character. In other words, pathos can be evoked or aroused by suffering, but they are not synonymous. Also, I am a bit confused about "villain" - what does "antagonist or yummy" mean? :) I'd love to see more references within the definitions to things from the show, linking the text to the subject more and more humourously.
My only other critique has to be the spacing and layout. Everything is a bit crowded towards the bottom of the wall. If you lifted the title and definition of "suffering" toward the top of the wall, the other definitions wouldn't be quite so bunched together and the arrows would be unnecessary (since it's quite clear what they refer to).
In spite of the few small adjustments I would suggest, I have to give this wall very high marks for originality and execution. I'm definitely a fan!
5 years, 5 months ago
Hahaha...this is great. I just finished this series actually, so I went looking for some good pictures related to it. Poor Yuki...being crushed under the weight of the jelly buns. Though I guess that was a better fate than getting squashed by Tohru's hand instead when she tried to catch him...

I just love this wall! It's so simple yet totally awesome. I don't even like Yuki (I know... *gasp* right? Can't help it), but I LOVE this wall. In a way I would like to see a color version as well... but I'd probably hate that. You're right, monochrome just adds to the whole vision. Truly adorable. So funny. I wish I could think of things like this. Then maybe I could make some decent walls :P WONDERFUL, BRAVO!
