Range Murata Alternative Ghost Story

First off, major props for using Range's work. You win solely for that.

Alrighty, this wall greatly intrigued me when I first saw the thumbnail and on closer inspection, I love it even more. Such a gorgeous job on the scan too. It looks so much better than the original. I tip my hat to you for that sole reason right there. The background is quite gorgeous too. I'm especially liking the mirror =3. My only complaint would be the cobweb, not because it doesnt' fit, but I dunno, it just doesn't feel right. Then again, maybe it's just me @__@. Though, I have to say, it would be rather incomplete without it.

All in all, this is a splendid wallpaper. Everything is so very well done and fits so nicely together that I can't imagine it being any other way. Great job! This is a favorite for me. The world can never have too much Range.

Really nice work after long break ^^ Details of shading on that vector/vexel are amazing, you must be incredibly patient to make it like that o.o I prefer main version ^^

Gorgeous wallpaper and vectoring! Dunno what to say.. *_* Oh I know, I love her make up! >xD

omg Dee so nice >< i luv the bg, and the char looks great! the butterfly is pretttyyyyy luv luv luv +fav. x3 edit: darn u yina! *waves fists in air* xD

multi shading is a pain in the *ss to make isnt it? you did it well, mainly on the neck, i like it

fav+

hawesome, dee! *hearts* really, awesome, me just love it < 3333 and COUGHVEXELCOUGHHOMIGOSH x3 quite dark for new year, eh? xD but again, simply awesome xD *hearts*

hmm...hard to saying how is it... well she looks great that's sure but well...hmm This wallpaper is really cool it has lots of different moods is great I love it,Dioma +fav^^

Gorgeous, elegant, stunning...!! Really, really nice work. The vector is amazingly well done, the entire composition works very well, the color range was properly selected. Loved the textures and the broken "mirror", and the same goes to the butterfly.

Congratulations! :3

really good wall *-* i love the dark ambient! <3

Such a beautiful scenic wall. The vector is very well done and the way you used the textures to create the scene is just... great.

the web and dark colors really sell this for me

This wallpaper blows my mind! I absolutely love the theme and the colors!

Awesome piece of work! More more more more! XD

Great job! *FAV*

Great job on this one. The character's textures are really nice and smooth and her skin is so pale. She looks like a ghost, which is fitting for this wall. I really like the idea with the spiderwebs and the butterfly. Nice choice of colors. Good job~

oh lawd thats one of te coolest and smoothest vectoring i've seen in ages

i like th dark atmosphere and the eyes AWW LOVE THEM!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO!!!!!!

I learned something new today about what is a vexel and how its different from vector art.

I like the styling here. The contrasts worked out great. The vexel looks pretty neat.

Wonderously Wicked !!!! Sinnfully Sexy !!

Fantastic all around effort here.

Nice one, sir. I really like the colors and atmosphere.

wow... You've done it so perfectly. So much work *_* It's beautiful and so scary. Awesome, awesome. Great mood, coloring and everything... Well, perfect for New Year xD

*__* pretttyyyyyy! the elements of thi wall are all very well chosen and nicely arranged. the colors aptly captures the atmosphere of the original scan and i, for some reason, really like the cracked mirror. :3

your vectoring/vexeling skills are awesome -- such patience with those skin layers (how many are there?). o__o i'm extremely lazy with skin because it just looks awful whenever i do it. i don't think i can ever get it to come out as smoothly as you've got it here. and if multi-layer shading doesn't come out smooth, it looks weird big time. >__> so a big thumbs up on that accomplishment. =]

well, what's left to say but omgwhatastunninglygoregouswall! how can i not +fav? and happy new year! xD

As soon as I logged on, this wall caught my eye. This wall is simply gorgeous. It's dark and macabre, but also captivatingly beautiful within that very realm. you did an excellent jog on the character vector and the background really compliments the subject. This is my new desktop, as of now. I could go on and on, but I'll stop with this last comment.

Instant fave

I didn't think this wall was too impressive until I got the full view. On closer inspection I was speechless xD! How much work went into this!?!?! Love the vector an the best thing is the shading on the neck and the eye. Really impressive. +Fav

WOOOT nothing to say m8 ;) BUT FAV++!!!!

first off... ** _ FANTASTIC PROJECT! _ ** this wally is so complete from left to right, top to bottom...without the feeling of crowding, **truely ** great perspective. the colours, the character, the background...i cant find anything in this that I **DONT ** LIKE--hehe i like the feeling of apathy, emptiness, dark, sadness....like i say...there isn't anything in the that I **DONT ** LIKE!! great work..thanks

typhoon with a new desktop

I was drawn in simply by looking for it. The job you did for the girl was amazing. I don't know how anyone could resist her stare. The dark and moody background complements her features perfectly - the features that you yourself did an incredible job in adding. All of the effects definitely flow and give her more depth than more (not to mention way more detail), and having looked at the original, I applaud your skill at such a creation.

Everything looks so vivid despite being such a dark color. I have a website that I'm working on, and I broke some English rules and created the word "delusionality." Upon deciding the definition, I'm not certain, but this wallpaper fits the mood for some reason.

I could go on and on about my impression about this somber, yet majestic wallpaper, but I'm sure that everyone else is saying the same.

Curiously drawn in and happy, -Mordikar (AP name)

Wow, this is absolutely AMAZING. You are amazing. The designs and colors are very well put together.

Amazing. Vexels are a work off art in itself. Lovely Wallpaper.

wow! i like dark wallpapers! and this one is really well done! repainting could b e really hard! wow :love:

Excellent work. It seems like it has more detail than a simple vector job, plus Range Murata works seem to complement dark color schemes. I'm curious what the source of the color banding/ringing was though?

Awesome wallpaper, it makes me think a little bit of the movie : "The Ring" (good movie). Very good job.

this reminds me of...ghost stories! what else? perfect colors and background choice. make my hair stands! who's gonna put it as his wall?

Amazing ... This is an awesome vector... The eyes are exceptionally good IMO... I think everyone said what i wanted to say... So i'll just fav this and run away...

this is an awesome wall<3 I really love the combination of colors, really a brilliant wall8)E|(VcV)|

o_o...freaking nice...*drool* +fav

i cant download it :( maybe some errors.. ill try it later.. but the thumbnail caught my attention :)

I love the feel of this...

• fav

This wallpaper is really beautiful... I love the color. It's dark and the girl is gorgeous... Great job!

Awesome! + fav

O_O Pretty nice BG and amazing vector, this wallie really impressed me when I full viewed it 8)E *Added to Favs*

props for the hard work that was given to the wallpaper. Good job vectoring the character. The concept is cool but honestly, i dont find this wallpaper very appealing (its just me.. different people have their own likes).. im giving you KUDOS for vectoring it though.. great job.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Range's version of the haunting woman brushing her hair and looking at away from the mirror from that movie "the ring " Kwel!!! .... ^_^ ...really great wall ....!!!!

Nice work with the vexel. I like the space one better because there is more interest. The one that is just black is a bit of a boring wall with flat emotion, but the space in the window makes it more intriguing. I like the pattern on the wallpaper, too. :)

I'm not too into the dark and goth walls but this is really nice. Good Job

i'm not into dark wallpaper, but this is the almost detailed vexel art i ever seen!!! awesome job!!!!!Amazing

**Don't really have time for a big explanation of why I like this so I'll just leave you with the words a friend of mine said just a minute ago about this awesome vector:

"OH my F@cking god! Whoever did this ****is a facking monster! Just imagining the Paths all over is giving me a headache." **

(XD)

Well you know im not into that spooky/ghost theme at all but i do see real work in this one! Something i got to say?Bring more of those;D

OMG your vector or vexel (don't even know what vexel is) just blows me away. zooming in that much and it looks like OMG(9+_+)(9+_+)(9+_+). props for the skills.

Beautiful wall! <3 A definite fave for me.

A bit macabre and dark, but still very beautiful. And of course the butterfly is just lovable. There is seen your amazing work with the coloring.

Yeah, I love whole this wall.

Great job.

You are mad. Or, madder than I thought you were. While I could nick-pick about some minor issues, this is the best I've seen from you to date.

It's Nice Wallpaper. Shadow over the Heroine's Face is Delicate and Fine. I Think It Make Her Look Like a Cold Doll Like the Series of Rozen Maiden. Composition of Purple Circle and Butterfly is Unique and Interesting. I Wonder What Darkness in This Wallpaper Mean. Sorrow or Evil Hidden in Her Heart? Thanks for Your Good Work.

wow,this is a really nice wall, it looks so smooth ,and the girl looks so elegant in it, great wall.

sorry for late comment, I really like the skin, the shading is fabulous! and the butterfly also the spider's web are neat and properly made. and the mirror looks real too. for the texture (background), it looks as if she is in a room, well-made. *favie*

Wonderful walliie!! :DDD it's kinda like a horror movie or somethin' like that! n_n i really love the BG and it's fit the girl too! I'm a big fan of dark walls! ^^ +FAV

Full-view owns the thumb xD Awesome composition, the bg pattern and the butterfly are really elegant. I would never have the patience to do something like this. Gorgeous piece of work < 3 Definite fave!

Loverly wall.|(VcV)|

As the first guy said, auto-props just for it being a Range wall, but I just love creepy darkness of it. Good job on it. +fav (though I'm probably going to be using the one with the space reflection in the mirror since I've been looking for a good spacey wall for awhile)

It's awesome to see Range Murata's work vectorized so awesomely. Sorry. I tend to use the word "awesome" quite liberally, but it really applies here. You preserve most of the softness of Murata's works very well with the gradients, and even though she looks a bit scarier in vector form compared to the scan, overall you did a very nice job. And I see you went with the butterfly too :) +fav

best range murata wall i ve ever seen. I really love how you made the girl look,the bg could be a bit more intereting but nevermind,less busy so we can focus on the girl!

Oooh, my God... 1700 paths? That's like O_O. Awesome, awesome work, it looks absolutely brilliant 8->.

fav+

Amazing... i like the dark stile, and the buterflye detail on the background! Thanks for sharing.

see ya!

sorry for late comment, I really like the skin, the couler theme are perfect. and the butterfly also the spider's web are fits very well with tis wall.

And how Tida wrote:

it looks as if she is in a room

Nothing more to wrote. It is now my favie

I dont know... I can smell Range Murata from affar... lol Awesome wallpaper you have here Dioma (for the record, this is the first time i reffer to a wallpaper maker =P) Hope you dont mind but this work of art is going to be on my fav list and desktop in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... done! Keep up the great work! ^^

This must have taken forever~!! I started one a long time ago, but I quit after a few layers; just didn't have the patience/stamina ^^;; It's really a great vector~ I love the eyes area.

Its like corpse bride all over again.....or maybe the adams family XD Im loving the wall though..

Oh my I found this on the net and thought that it was amazingly done now I find out that is yours,gomen sihould try being more around and not in imageboards!Anyway I got to say that although it is a dark wallpaper it gives a a strange feeling,I mean it sort of reminds me of poetry like Baudelaire,you know,I mean you found beauty even in things like dark colors and mostly those spider webs and for me you could add the butterfly too(seriously I am afraid of them,I have phobia)!I can't say that the colors are soft but the feeling the wall gives and it's simplicity is soft and elegant!

I love it!

The amount of detail leaves me nearly speechless. Your wall is really fantastic and your patience with this is unbelievable. I really like it. The colour choices in the background also match the girl very well. :) Thank you for making this. xD fav.

~lex

Wow the colors are really cool ^_^ keep up the good work

hey i like the clarity n the expressions in the wall...

great colors overall and purple bits made it even better and catchy

I missed this! I really love how your vectors (vexel in this case) look so much like the original picture. And gyah, this wallpaper is just 8O* (drool-worthy). I like the space in the window version because I think the uploaded version kind of looks like it has a deep hole in the middle of the wall. Anyway, absolutely fav!

NICE JOB !very beautiful！

Nice wallpaper I like the other versions too but the finally one that you upload is still the best:3 I love the dark color and her hair,the butterfly and the background are cute too Maybe cute is the wrong word for a dark wall,but this is really nice +fav

nice nice

i like the colours and the butterfly

Obscure, yet pretty, nice job! fav+

Gorgeous. :) The girl is stunning, and I love the color combination of the teal and purple. And I especially like the 'space in the mirror' version. I guess I'm just a sucker for stars. ^^;

Wow! when I saw this paper it really caught my attention. The imaging is great and it kinda inspires me a little bit. ^_^ The detailing is very good; although, I would have tried a wider variations of colors. But all in all I have to say it is one of my favorites.

uwaaa..... 8)E This is so biuchifuru~!!**o** the hair!! and the detail..and the eyes~!! so glassy~ Like those victorian dolls u see in ghost shows...(eep!>_<") but it's so gorgeous I'll ignore the fact she reminds me of The Dollmaster doll *whips head left and right* >-< ( I'm the one hiding behind the pillow and blankets throughout most parts in horror movies...though gore i can handle xD) The painting is awesomely gorgeous too. |(n_n)|

The girl is beautiful! It all matches perfectly! I really like it alot its so eyecatching.
