I love how vibrant this is~ Kudos on a gorgeous job well done (: +

I am aware this scan has been walled before :/

I really love how much richer you've made the colors in this wallpaper, and the layout is very nice. My only issue is with how grainy it appears to be: the source image actually looks smoother than the wall. Honestly, I can't really tell which areas you've vectored, and I'm not sure it was necessary for scan. Maybe smooth out some of the grainy areas, or tone down the sharpen a bit? But it's a gorgeous first wall, hope to see more from you!

First of all: I /love/ the use of colors. The blue and orange work extremely well together~ and the abstractness of the background is awesome. I love the transition between the water and birds, and the overall design is gorgeous. And the cubes. THE CUBES. YES. My concentration portfolio was pretty much abstract drawings of cubes, so I love the cubes. However, I dislike the sketchiness of the character in contrast to the sharpness of her environment. It's not that it's a bad drawing, per se, but the transition between the character and the background isn't seamless. Maybe you could of tried vectoring some of the character or adding sketchy outlines to the background? I also agree with what Tens said about the trees on the left, but since I have a smaller screen, it's not as noticeable to me, and I think it's neglectable :/.

Now, I really admire you for spending the time to create your own original artwork, and I've noticed that a lot of your recently submitted walls are all original. That being said, while I love the way you draw and shade fabric, your body proportions occasionally really bug me. I'm not necessarily saying that they're not accurate. I mean, this is anime, I can hardly always expect realistically drawn bodies, but whereas most of the time in anime it appears more stylistic, in some of your artwork it just looks awkward. For this wall in particular, I feel like the legs need a bit more shape and curve in the legs (specifically the calves), and her feet look huge.

But this is my favorite out of all the recent original artwork walls you've submitted, and it's easy to see that you've been steadily improving. Keep up the great work!

as always, love your work (:

This reminds me of the art style for Okami ~ Love the background and the bright colors, the textures used blend in very nicely as well (: Great job!

I love how vibrant the purple of the vector is <3 as well as the general composition.

The hair and eyes are lovely; but the shading of the skin seems a bit overly blurred. You should also try carrying some of the beautiful purples in the character vector throughout the rest of the wall, perhaps in some of the circle fragments (try fiddling around with different layer settings instead of just changing the opacity). I did read that you didn't want a "boring violet color" over the entire wall, so maybe you could integrate some of the lighter blues you can see in the original scan?

Beautiful work, though, great job!

so cuuuute~ >w<

You did a beautiful job vectoring~ I love how smooth it is. I'm a bit bothered by how the dark colors are concentrated around the eyes; you could carry some into the hair and wings. The gray color of the cloud clashes a bit with the purple shade of the rest of the wallpaper (but I do love the touch of yellow; it goes nicely). I didn't get to see the version with the texture, but I feel a light bit of grunge texture over the entire wall would improve it.

Great job!

Thanks for the comment and fav on Golden CX ~

Aw, grazi (: Thanks for the lovely scan <3

Oh ya. I'm a child at heart. Plus, I fail at reading children. It's their cuteness (=w=)U

Anyways, thanks for the comment + fav~ (sorry I haven't been helping out with IM at all D:)

Hahaha, thanks~! (for the comment + fav)

Thanks for the suggestions~

I actually did try adding a texture, but it turned out badly since it didn't blend in very well with the smooth vector :/ (I was too lazy to go back and try again =w=) I'll get around to it eventually 8D...hopefully sometime in the near future.

thanks for the comment and fav~

):-}D (your unclassiness makes you classy. Hurry for classy paradoxes!)

Graziiiii, for the lovely comment and fav (:

Haha, rev. 1 actually came after rev. 2 -- I just wanted the yellow one to be the one displayed XD Glad you liked it, and thanks for the HUGE comment~

):-}D

The layering + blending of the background needs a bit more work -- you need a larger variety of tree brushes and colors in the closer trees. Great effort, though! I'm too much of a wuss to do scenic walls XD

Lovely job, especially the water. The contrast is a bit too much in my opinion though, maybe you could add a bit of gray mist to the background? And the flowers are too uniform so it looks a bit unnatural :/ However, I absolutely adore your shading here, you've improved a lot as a waller~ Kudos!
