One thing that always drives me crazy is that there are so many great shows with like... zero scans out there for them (and inversely you'll find an infinite number of magazine scans for some crap like 'They Are My Noble Masters'). So yeah, Zegapain is one of those great shows, and because of it I did something I really hate... I re-cged an entire scan. While it might look great, it's a complete pain in the ass to actually done.
Anyway, I went for a blend of techno and texture with this one, combining a lot of small items and effects into something that looked surprising good at the end of the day. The hardest part by far was the particle stream of 'data', that took me several tries to get right, especially around the parts of the character that are being 'filled in'. And yes, I did re-cg the parts that are now missing... covering them with a layer mask was a bit painful, emotionally and mentally after so much work...
Big thanks to Kalico for putting up with constant requests for crits on this one!

First of all, I really do love the colors in this wall. Kuler is doing you good! I know reCGing can be painful, bt i think it always looks so much better when it' done. Thats why I've been trying to do it more and more. Which reminds me...I need to finish the NANA reCG for the collab. Anyways, Something still bothers me about the stream, but I totally can't place it. Mayne the stream is just really thin? I dunno. But overall, I think it looks great. And I know you worked long and hard on this. considering how tough a wall its is.

I really like the concept for this wall. It's very unique and stand-alone. The only issue may be the particle stream. It may be that the left side of particles are rather large in size, instead of being the same size throughout; the stream might look better if there is a consistent size (I prefer smaller) with quantity being the issue rather than size to fill up space. Other than that great work. It really must have been a pain making that stream. Great job! I'm looking forward to your next wall. :D

I must say the stream bugs me a bit, too...Don't know what, though...maybe the greenish color... *shrugs*
But overall, the wall looks awesome and hard work always pays off in the end. Keep up the great work! (n_n)~

really like this expression of his. Actually, I really like the 'hollow Ichigo'; it's so mysterious so I hope they'll lift the secret soon ... without exposing too much *loves the series and wants it to go on running for a while* Great background also! Thanks so much for sharing and please keep up the good work! ~Ryouko

hmmm.. the guy above me really didnt make sense.
anyways i love everything you have done in this wall. the disintegration looks great. the character vector looks nice too (i like the greyish tones) the background looks awesome (its got this painted feel to it) the colours look great too. the only gripe i have about this wall is that thee is no widescreen version. anyways nice work!!! :)

The streams of hexagonal data and the way in which it interacts with the character's body looks really nice. The color scheme certainly seems to fit the 'tech' theme as well. If anything, I'd say that the background 'tech' look would be improved if it were made to appear three-dimensional just like the character.. I suppose it would look more Ghost in the Shell-eque but it would still look great. Great work anyway...

I think the problem people's eyes have with the stream is that it all comes from about the same point on the left side rather than from points a bit more spread out over there. Anywho, it doesn't bother me too much and I like the interesting colour choices. Props for a very awesome concept and I love the effect where her body is eating away or disappearing.

I totally have to agree with your argument for scans. What happened to the quality stuff!? Apparently all the industry cares about now is milking the bottom line (money). Make more shows that flash panties and big boobs, then sell doujin and figures at Comiket... NICE JOB execs...
ANYWAYS, You actually did do a nice job on this wallpaper. I really like the color pallet. It's not too bright or intrusive, but just enough to make it special enough to make me want to put it up as a wallpaper :)
so I just finished this show and was looking for wallpapers and scans, thought there would be a lot more... what a shame, this show was "high quality" so to speak.
