Amazing what you did with that screencap, esspecially with Usagi, since she's almost undistinguishable in the original image. I also like how the far walls of the phone booth are desaturated. The phone itself looks a bit weird and different from the original one. also, great job with the vector lines, they're not jaggy at all. Rain looks just fine imho. Perhaps you could do a variant with no text? anyway, great job on this one, keep them coming! Fav+ <3

p.s. Don't worry about your mom, my folks act exactly the same :=[

Try to antialias the lines, and add another contour layer, a little blurred, set to 'multiply'. You could also try to change the flower texture with something more abstract or some ice flowers patterns... after all, he is an ice user. Keep it up

Great vector, thin, smooth lines, no jagged edges, it's just perfect! I like the positioning of the character in the wallpaper, and the sky looks great <3 . also, the overall lightness and the fluffs of the dandelions give it a peacefull, no-regrets look. Perfect for happy summer days. The only things I'd like to see are a version without the text and some non-wide resolutions. Other than that, wonderfull wallpaper, thanks for sharing. +fav [I'd fav it ten times if I could XD ]

Just when I thought that I won't be seeing another good Trigun wallpaper... Great job, thanks for sharing. This is going to be a fav.

The concept is great, unfortunatelly, right now, the wallpaper looks unfinished. With some more work ad some background textures it could turn out really really good.

Pretty good, I like the colours and the concept. However, when vectoring you missed some of the lines, around the eyes and the mouth and also the contour of the glasses is slightly different on the upper side, and all this diminish his angry, focused look on his face. Now he looks more cool headed/ cold hearted, but the original feeling is a bit lost. Nevertheless, apart from this, it looks really interesting. Too bad it's so small. Keep it up!

Very nice vector. There are a few more things you could have tried with it: contour lines inside an object made thinner/ made with a lighter colour [other than black or gray]. Or the overall contour lines made thinner, because at higher res they really stand out. Other than that, great job, keep them coming

I like how you changed the colors from the original scan, the vectored image looks a lot better. Original idea, nice composition, it works for wide screen and regular one too, I like the overall blue and the texture looks great. Oh, and it gives me the impression that I'm looking into a fish tank :) definitely a fav, keep them coming!

I can't stop grinning since I saw this wallpaper! Great job with the cover titles. Perhaps the contour lines of Roy could have been thinner, though... The table doesn't look very realistic and it's too dark. Perhaps something like a (school) desk or a cafeteria table or something else would be more fitted. With more objects around, as if the magazine is read during lunch break or tossed over other things on the desk. Perhapse adding some perspective would give the image more realism and add a litlle depth. Nevertheless, very nice work, thanks for sharing!

A really fun to look at wallpaper, not to mention original and you obviously put some work into it. It looks great, but I think the black outline on the characters is way too thick, which is disturbing esspecially in the higher resolution wallpapers. And I think it could even be other color than black, but that's just an idea. Oh, and shoudn't Zorro's head be a little more.. welll... spiky?

Definitely a fav

Very nice background choice, and you blended nicely the characters in it. nice touch with the 'shinigami' and 'hollow' words placed on diagonals. Ichigo's shoulder almost touching Rukia should have been avoided, in my opinion, but maybe that's how the original scan was. Also, maybe the background scans would have looked better if they had been a lighter color, and focus would have been maintained on the colored characters. But's that's just an opinion. Great work, keep them coming.

Pretty original, but I think it would have looked a lot better if you have antialiased the black line that makes Saber's contour. and maybe blur a few shapes in the background, to add a little depth. Keep up!

One of my favorite images! I like how the wallpaper turned out, the softness and the pink shade. Not to mention that it has enough space for desktop icons. I'm glad you did not grunge it or anything. It looks so peacefull. Thanks for sharing this wallpaper with us, I'm waiting for more works from you.

An interesting idea for a Naruto wallpaper. The blood, however, should reflect light, and look more 3D than it is; right now it looks as if it's dried paint on the floor. The second thing is the material of the head protector: it should be cloth, but it looks more like a rubber band, a bit too rigid. And the shadows on it could use more work. About the blood, on the lower right side, it makes some sharp angles; it make it look un-realistic. Other than that, I like the colors used and the way the shadow falls, and the color of the blood in the reflected metal piece [although I'm not sure they were THAT polished. I mean, if you are a ninja crawling unnoticed in the forest, it would be a wise idea not to wear a mirror on your forehead, but, ah, well... it's an anime, after all...] ^^ Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing this original wallpaper.

Wow, congrats on the wallpaper, i had the sceencap and every now and then I would look at it and have a little laugh... it reminds me of elementary school friends XD Nice, clean vectoring, although I'd have liked if the contour was a bit thinner. Definitely a fav :D ... I don't know why doing a wall with this image never crossed my mind. Thanks so much for uploading and keep up the good job!

Very nicely vectorized. Clear, nicely modulated lines and no jagginess. I like the way the sand came out. Personally, I would have tried to make the colors more vivid, or to give the scene a more dynamic look, or add more depth. My thanks for not adding a big title or some other form of writing over the image ;P . Keep up the good work! +fav

Sure ^^. Could you give me an e-mail adress or tell me where I can upload the brushes?

Wow, if you could ask, that'd be great! It's so hard to find someone who can explain to you certain nuances of the words. Only if it's not too much trouble, of course ^^

hi, thanks for commenting on my wallpaper. about the kanji. this is where I took it from: http://www.online-dictionary.biz/japanese/english/vocabulary/reference/%e3%81%b2%e3%81%a8%e3%82%8a.asp

Besides, the screencap contained the kanji and it looked like you said, but 'by oneself' seemed to me that fitted the meaning better. I didn't want to say 'lonely'... just 'alone'. anyway, my Japanese is not so good, so I may be wrong ^^'.

hi... thanks for commenting on my wallpaper. about the brush... it's one that I made some time ago, but I forgot how, mainly, I forgot the brush tip shape. The rest of the settings are there and I can enumerate them for you, if you want. Or, I can save all the brushes and send them to you [I don't know how to save just that brush].

Thanks for commenting on my wallpaper. I'll keep in mind your suggestion for my future works ;) [since sometimes I kind of have the same feeling that I throw a horde of textures over the poor wallpaper. but I always wind up saying.. aaw, just this one more... and keep on adding... XD]

Great job! My kind of wallpaper :)~ Very nice grayscale choice. And the wallpaper is neither too dark, nor too bright. I'm not quite sure about the broken piece of... well, of whatever that is near the broken window. It defies gravity and the rest of the laws of nature [like the one that states that that object shoud cast a shadow, since all the other objects around do that...]. The broken window also doesn't have a shadow which is kind of sad because it ruins the otherwise very good wallpaper. And the direction of the light is a bit questionable. In the original scan, outside was considerably lighter, so it was ok for the guy to be so well lit, but in the altered image maybe it would have looked better to darken his left side a bit more. I'm still not sure about it, but it would be worth trying.. if you have nothing better to do, that is ^^. On the bright side, the rain drops on the windows look great, did you draw them or are they taken from a photo? And if you did draw them, care to make a little tutorial ^^' ? But what I truly like most about this wallpaper is the atmosphere... it really makes me look out of the window and sigh...

I'm big fan of black and white wallpapers and this one looks good [maybe it's the dude's look... it makes me smile for some reason XD]. I only have a few comments. Firstly, the whole scene is kind of dark. Yeah, I know it matches the guy's nervous breakdown and it brings out the girl in white.. but still... It'd look better juuust a bit lighter. Secondly, the buildings still need a bit polishing to fit in the image perfectly. I'd recommend the same grungy texture that's on the rest of the image [because right now you can't see it, if it exists], and maybe you can make them a bit lighter and with a softer contour [not much, just a bit, 'cause right now they seem like cut out from a piece of black paper]. Maybe if you add some soft window lights on them, you could give them some volume. Oh, yeah, and, personally, I would have kept the legs uncut, although it looks ok as it is, too ^^'. The text is great :D, maybe a less common font could bring more attention to it. Anyway, I like the wallpaper a lot and I hope that you and your computer got better. Keep up the good work! ;)

Great work. It really caught my eye when browsing. It sort of has an old martial art movie look, with the soft focus and all. Funny, the lack of clarity doesn't bother at all, it fits the wallpaper. Looking forward too seeing more of your work.

Fav+ ;)
