couldn't sleep, so i got up and turned on the computer. which had me realize that keeping this wall on my computer is making me nervous. there are flaws to pick on, but i've decided to submit.
anyway, short story shorter, i made this because i needed an excuse to procrastinate on a couple of school nights. and i wanted to practice vectoring since i haven't taken a step forward in ages. besides, in occasional doses, craziness is good for you!
i learned that close-ups don't go exceptionally well with my vectoring style. i couldn't vector the hair the way i normally do due to how thick the majority of strands must be. stiff hair? another problem. and i should seriously plan out a face before sticking everything in. *kicks myself* except for the iris, i vectored and drew everything at 100%. no zoom. LOL! i did that because i didn't want to spend most of my time scrolling all over the place. i had to scroll around enough at 100% as it was.
thank yous go to the brilliant salt (aka saku) and the evil sir (aka dan). their critical support was invaluable! :3 and for those who bother to take the time to comment/fav, thank you as well.

Really detailed vector! I generally dislike close-up walls, but in this case, its done quite well. The hair's mostly perfect (though the lighting seems a bit weird) and the eyes look gorgeous. Compared to the hair the skin looks a bit plain but that could just be me. Also a bit dark but I guess it really fits well xD! +Fav

Great depth and attention to detail you've put into the wall! This work is more then vectoring, IMO it's even closer to vexeling. I really love the hair, the amount of strands you've made is huge! And then there's the iris, it looks great and at the same also magical. ^^ +Fav!

The background is looking good, the different hues of blue are looking very nice. The character is looking good, she fits to the background well, though her eye looks somehow a bit... bright. And there's something about the resolutions. The wide-screen ones looks normal, but the others have an empty space on the upper and lower parts of the picture, which doesn't look well. Nice wallpaper, though.

Her stare is too direct and devoid of expression. She looks like a souless doll.
5 years, 5 months ago
Well honestly said I'm not too fond of her eye and face. Looks too stiff for me, I'm sorry. Luv the hair that looks really good <3 Practice makes us better and its visible in every new wall of yours so keep going. :3 And don't kick me D: j/k

Got enough vector shapes xD? Awe-inspiring vectoring, as usual. And major props for making this original piece of art. It's just the dark atmosphere and the way that her eye just pops out at you that makes me think that this is a bit more scary than beautiful. With all the blues and grays, it kinda looks like she's a zombie.
But otherwise, nice work :)
5 years, 5 months ago
For crying out loud. Why do the people who make some of the best work here always preface their descriptions by saying "it sucks but..."? Seriously. I mean, if that has embarrassing flaws, then I shouldn't submit at all. xD
Anyway! I love the blue theme of this wall, because it fits her expression well. The eye is fantastic, and the hair is simply gorgeous. And I love the vector style! Wonderful work, of course it's a fav. =)

AAAAAHHHHH LOVE YOUR WALL!!! It’s so cool. Like the girl’s hair look so amazing while blowing. Great job. It looks so captivating & scary at the same time. Very mystical. She kinda reminds me of samara from the movie “the ring” or “the grudge”. LOL! Keep it up! My favorite!

Greetings~
It's a great wallpaper, indeed =) However, honestly speaking, I think that the face looks stiff (just as Anolibb-san) mentioned. Another thing is the cloth around her neck.. I don't know how to put it right but I just feel it's odd.. I'm sorry.. >_<; But overall, it looks fine to me ^^ Keep up the good work =)
Have a nice day~ -Breezie-

yes, the vector is amazing, especially the hair, just like everybody says.
I really like all the details all over this wallpaper. her hair(the motion of her hair, yes it looks fabulous) and also her clothes. her lips also look really real.
But what I like the most is the colors. I just love how you chose the color. the blue for the hair. and also gray for her face. it all looks really great together and -for me- give a certain atmosphere.
And the background is also matches the whole wallpaper very much and really help to create the atmosphere of the wall.

oh shit!!
when i saw the hair i knew this was gonna be epic
and full view just totally blew me away.
im guessing it was a painfully delecious process?
just thinking making the eyes pink would be killer would kinda make a standout focus too cause of the dark nature of the blue but blue eyes = killer
totally faved and thank you for sharing
5 years, 5 months ago
Wow.... your hair is indeed very detailed.... and i really love the blue theme, all in all a very beautiful piece. But i think the face can be done with more details, the details pale so much in comparison with the hair. The blue eye is nicely done too though.. very detailed as well... great job on this one asa01! 8)E Woo La La....

I have to say that this is a great piece of original art. While you may see more flaws in your own work (which is completely understandable as most artist are mostly never truly satisfied with the final outcome), I think it's quite striking. If I had to pick anything that could probably be improved a bit, it would the hair. While it does look good, I think it would look great if the colors in the hair blended together a bit more. Aside from that, I commend you on creating such a nice piece of art.
5 years, 5 months ago
That's absolutely fantastic. It's amazing how realistic this wall looks like and it's seen how much of effort you've put in that. The hair is amazing, its coloring and shadowing, just everything. Definitely my +fav.

I must admit that what i like about this wallpaper the most is a. the eye shape and b. the hair Honestly the hair lines are FAR BETTER than what i ve seen before and they looks SO real, so alive if i may add :) I like the bblue tones, it is a very relaxing wallpaper and at the same time very ...full of power. I just adore the concept and the whole idea +fav

This is an interesting wall. The blue theme is working very well here. The character seems a little unnatural, but I think she works to your benefit rather than destroy the wall. Everything seems rather fitting for the dark background, plus this wall is something different for a change. Nice work~
5 years, 5 months ago
That is amazing looking I love how the eyes look which is awesome lol so much detail in them. Also the hair is just amazing looking with all the detail the lighting to the number of strains that have been added to it, probably took a long time just to make the hair lol. The concept is also pretty good with the dark and the hair going over her face looks really nice and mysterious.

I like the hair in this wallpaper as apposed to the style you were unable to do. But then again I'm also a little partial to this style of drawing. You did a great job... Maybe you should procrastinate more often? =P

Oh GOD I love this! It's nice and crisp and wide screen! Ever since I threw this on my new Laptop it's been amazing.

I still absolutely love it.. Thanks!

That... that eye o_o;;
/is bowled over by its prettiness/
Uhh yeah. I can't draw, so this is like "WHOA THARR" for me. This is also really reminiscent of blu3angl's Saya wall; like, it's not as bg-ized as hers, but the vectoring style and color scheme are really close. THAT HAIR IS AMAZING. WHY CAN EVERYBODY BUT I VEXEL ;A; Like, seriously. The talent bug has struck and I'm the only idiot who drank the antidote D: Does that analogy even make sense? Hmm. I'm not sure.
+FAVE.

This wall is so dark and sad, you should've made it pink! >xD (= christmas time!) Don't worry about your vector cuz it's great! =O Btw, happy new year! >xD Oh I should post this on your up. >_>

Nice deep and rich blue tones. Your vector is good but needs to be refined a little in some areas, gets a little jagged in places, I know how hard it is to smooth out those areas. Brilliant character design, the eyes are really alive, not simple and unattractive like a lot of anime character designs. Its so good you could probably sell it, maybe.
