Well, it's been a while since I've been inspired to do any sort of GFX, but suddenly I just wanted a new wall and I started working. I looked at a lot of tutorials as I was working on this, but none of them grabbed me and they all sort of turned into this. I really like vector brushes, and they make for some pretty simple walls, so I wanted to work with them again. The title and quote are a play on the poem by Dylan Thomas. The exact quote didn't quite fit, so I changed it a little bit.
I'd love any comment and some advanced critiques, I do have an another version of this wall, I may post it later if people feel this one is too simple or not simple enough.
"Yes, this might be a very intersting wall but i personally think the black borders are too thick." - microwar
I finally decided to stand my ground when I got this comment. I thought of fixing it at first, but then I remembered my original inspiration. The original quote is a metaphor for knowing that you're probably going to die, but refusing to go without a fight. Thus Yuki is being swallowed by the darkness around her, top and bottom and that's the way she stayed. Mostly a matter of perferance but I like it as is.

The black borders are a bit too much and it feels like the character is drowned by the background. Still, it's pretty nice.

quite excellent, I wish this was a long wallaper, for dual screen maybe, since this one just looks cuts off, the effects are still win. and for that I congratulate to your achievement.

Nagato isn't similar to herself. I wonder why? (o_o)

Classic pose of Yuki, very streamlined. Very nice with all of the musical scores along the top and bottom.

I joined this site to see if I could find any decent Nagato walls, and lo and behold the first one I find is absolutely gorgeous. Keep up the good work. ^_^

Just to say a it's good wall. The idea is interesting. Using the musical scores fillng the top and bottom showing not silent and using the black colour on background showing night. It's good work.

Wow, I really like the way you've taken this image and changed it reflect a different style.
The hair strands stand out particularly and the lightness of the shadows.
I personally find that the amount of black and huge and varried dark colours would prevent me from using this as a wallpaper. However, it's very stylish.
Well done -!

I think the top and bottom black border things are a bit large and take away from Yuki, but overall, it's a great wallpaper.

I don't think the black borders are too much, I think they highlight the main picture and help it stand out, while the musical notes make it not too dark. Good Wallpaper.

Instant classic. Wallpapers with so much black can sometimes feel moody and depressing, but this is livened up by your use of notes and light beige color splotches. Which also ties the black in with the actual image.
Anyone looking to frame an image by black borders, THIS is your example on how it should be done.

Every once in a while, I like to come back and look at my old works. Between the two that I've submitted here, this is the one that got the most attention and best grade and is honestly my favorite I've ever made, publicly or privately.
I just wanted to say thanks to those that commented, it always brightens my day to come and see that people enjoy my work.
