The original scan that I used is from Minitokyo, where I also have posted a slightly different version of this wallpaper on my account there.
Every time I try vectoring I want to curl up in the corner and cry ^_^' But what I did this time around was a combination of vectoring, painting, and cutting out textures to make the wall as I envisioned it. Yuuko's kimono is both painted and made of oriental fabric that was altered to give a very faint, delicate pattern to fit with the feel of the wallpaper. Her wings were also painted a bit and used a lot of paper texture to give it more depth and a sort of richness to it. And Mount Fuji in the background was originally scanned out of a book of Japanese prints at my house and mostly repainted to make it softer like it might seem in the snow from a distance, including the refracted light in the misty air. The original image had cherry blossoms and fluffy balls of light every where, but I chunked out both of them in favor of snow. Overall I tried to make it look vaguely like a Japanese painting or postcard. I'm really happy with how this turned out. Enjoy!

Painting, vectoring- whatever you did in whatever combination I think this wall came out fabulously. I liked the subtle textures.
5 years, 7 months ago
the texturing on the wings is awesome, though the rest of the wall seems rather blurry. I would have preferred if you had vectored the rest of Yuuko with shapes (like how you did her hands) instead of strokes, but all in all good work.
5 years, 7 months ago
Actually, I colored her hands the same way I did everything else... with strokes. 9(>_>)

That's very nice, and I love the different textures on the wings and the background. I also love the color scheme.
5 years, 7 months ago
Aww :3 so pretty and girly. I love the colours and patterns you used. And Mokona is so cute. ^_^ The vector isn't bad either! +fav
And Thanks for walling in widescreen too!

I love the feel to this wallpaper, very calm and relaxing. It's richly detailed but in a subtle way. The kimono is definitely my favorite part! + fav

Good wallpaper n0n
5 years, 7 months ago
Mmmm, Yuko-san has been always really sexy, but here she seems a mother.... =/ Design, colors, and contrast are worked very good for this wallpaper, so i can see a good job, but Yuko as a mother... is for the dress i think... Man, you worked hard in, i see, but is not for me. I think with another scan of Yuko the wallpaper would be better. Try it, ok? ;)

Reminds me of the Madam Butterfly line of thought. Having said, I love what you done with this piece. Keep up the good work.
5 years, 7 months ago
wow!!! I just love it, It´s so well done, delicated and soft, It´s lovely, nice work ^^
5 years, 7 months ago
The thumbnail doesn't do it justice AT ALLXD It looks 1000000000% percent more awsome close up^.^ The vector is like S-class awsome (except some of the shading on Mokona and the hands bothers me, but not enough to detract from the whole thing)~ The Dress has so much beautiful detail@_@ and I love the texture effect on her back ribbon~ The snow effects, and lighty circles gives it a nice depth perspective~ The only small thing that bothered me is the backround looks a little, ummm, hmmm, well its not badXD but just feels a little odd~
Overall you deserve much more than the B- you got I thinkXD At least A material^.^ Keep up the awsome work 8)E
Btw I'm actually attempting a vector of Yuuko right now (coincidently in the same outfitXD but a different pic) and you did very good on her hair... I thought I'd loose my mind doing all that anoying hairXD
5 years, 7 months ago
Yuuko looks absolutely divine in this one. ^_^ I love her wings, and the purple background just suits her...and it looks good, of course, as I'm quite a big fan of purple. XD
And is that the black Mokona with her? =D

NICE

I love the colours and the background look great. Very dreamy like.
5 years, 7 months ago
The background is looking good, though a deep blue night sky with falling snowflakes would've been better. The character is looking good, she fits to the background well. Nice wallpaper.

Very purple and I like it. Two things I like the most in this wallpaper is the background colour and wings.
5 years, 5 months ago
Both Yuko and Larg seem so wistful and reflective...
Is it okay if I use this as a background on a website?
5 years, 5 months ago
I like the background, as it compliments the character. The background is also very artistic and somewhat resembles oriental-style painting. It gives off a rather dreamy mood. Nice~
5 years, 4 months ago
I have to agree. It's wonderful wallpaper!
5 years, 4 months ago
I love the background color very much~~~~~ It is very shine and give me surprised~~~~~ Yuko is beautiful although she is cring~~~~~~ THX for your share~~~~

Jesus... This is stunning!! Very lovely, pretty and most of all, skilled _ wallpaper. Awesome, impressive vectoring work (specially for the ones that have never done one before, like me, so I admire it even more), great use of textures. Very sophisticated, this wallpaper couldn't have been made by _everyone , indeed. The only things that "botters" me a little is the clouds (superior left area) and the mountain. But nothing too serious, they aren't too 'visible', anyway. And then, the shadowing of Mokona, which is minimal as well.
So... Congratulations! <3

extra stuff: i think this is a good way to win some credits....
anyway... what i feel is a pleasant desire of travel through space! your colors here are an strike on my brain, direct hit that remain in my retina. the shapes are nicely done and only lack some harmony in your lines. im not saying anything bad here; i mean, some lines stand out over the background a little bit. pleasant me a lot to see a new angie's work.

atmosphere: i like how your wall seems calm due to the water and yet the stars and nebulae add to the out of this world kind of feel XD
composition: the lily pads with the mountains are arranged nicely and so have the flowers :) the arrangement of the mountains have been done well although the bottom parts of some of the lilly islands, the brownish bottom parts some of them i noticed are really fadey however the one in the top left i noticed is so fadey that one can hardly see the details in the part thats faded ^_^' maybe that one could be a tad darker but thats just my opinion ^_^'
colour: the colour choice is nice, stands out and catches ones attention :D i like how it seems pastel-ish in one part yet striking in another XD
quality: the vector is neat and clean, the details are done wonderfully :)
overall: the idea behind this wall is really neat and everything flows nicely :D i like how you added the snake [is that what it is?] in the water and how it seems to flow in the water XD the slight textured look adds a nice touch :D
extra stuff: this is all just personal opinion ^_^' lovely wall ^^

Purple and yellow butterfly. What a gorgeous insect she is!!! Beautiful!!
5 years, 1 month ago
The thumbnail does this no justice. I'm not sure if I like some of the background, especially what looks like a mountain behind, it seems to throw everything off-kilter for me. Still, Yuuko herself is beautiful, the vector is top-notch--that's clearly indisputable. Nicely done.
