This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.

So I've been workin on my first wall for a few days and it was really irkin me how I couldn't get it to look the way i wanted, so I decided to give that a break and start on a different one.

This one features Kurapica from Hunter X Hunter and his chain prison.

So tell me what you think. Thanks.

Hmz...the scan needs a better extraction,like the hair and the back part. chains looks kinda blurred :o... and they don't really match with the chain in the hand of the scan. the other part of the background is kinda...plain, mayB you could try to add some grunge brushes at the background.

Yea same as above, but I have problems seeing the text. Its sooo dark. But thats just my personal opinion.

It looks ok to me. There' too much text I would say - just leave the title. I'd also tewak the colours a bit to help seperate everyhting - it's a bit too uniform so things blend together too well, making it hard to make stuff out.

The really big thing I would say is that the wall appears to have been saved at a too low jeg qality, so the chara is covered in artifacts (those grainey, icky bits). If these were on the chara to start with you need to clean the scan - look for some tutorials. Otherwise, save at a higher quality setting.

Um...the chains look cool! Kurapica is cool ^^! Anyways, maybe you can have one of the genei ryodan members in the back?? (since he wants to kill them) I really like the way you did his eyes! They really stand out in the darkness! The background looks somewhat plain. So maybe as the people have stated above, get some grunge brushes and make it more interesting. Oh yeah, also, the font (in my opinion) doesn't seem to quite...work the background? Also, is it me or is one of the chains blurry-ish? For some reason, (i think) all the chains look kinda..different. Some of them have a lil grunge-ish type and some others are looking blurred. Maybe you can try to keep them all the same? (just a suggestion...i'm not sure if it would look good that way) unless you're going for the different chain thing. Anyways, other than that, it looks pretty cool. I still like his eyes ^^

Well, what i was tryin to do with the chains was to make kurapica focused and the chains that are farther from him get blurier and out of focus...if it doesn't work I'll hafta change it.

This took many many hours, mostly to clean kurapica. Hope I did a good job. I made him stand out a lil more, changed the background a bit, and changed the text and font. I also put in his heart piercing chain thing kinda as an after thought.
So, what do you think?

Personally, I'd prefer the first version. The darkness of the character makes the red eyes stand out more. And maybe transfer the background text from the second version to the first.

And maybe you can make a peeling brick wall and place it in the back at low opacity. Maybe use mask layer to fade portions of it to let the grunge see through.

Okay, I made kurapica a bit darker and also made his eyes brighter and redder.

Background's a bit too plain... the chains and the figure's fine, but the text and background can be improved on.
