My second try at vectoring :) I just made this screenshot , changed the image size and vectored it, here it is - Wallpaper


so, what do you think? :worried:

Are you sure that you doesnt forgot anything?
check your wall

What did i forget? you mean the back-pack? just didn't fit in the image [imho]

The vector is fair, not outstanding, to be honest. this is especially true with large face images taken from screenshots (so not really your fault because you simply vectored what you saw). first off, the style of this artist for this series is quite simple. second, screenshot art tends to lack the details that scans have. third, it's a face, which doesn't leave a lot of room for detail, just lots of facial skin and hair (hair can be detailed depending on the style, but again, screenshots keep things simple). this is perhaps one contributing reason to why your wall's lacking that spark that make people say "wow!". another reason is probably that her face just takes up so much space that you don't have too much room to work with. however, admittedly it IS cute and that'll earn you points with an audience who loves adorable stuff. xD

now to be more specific: you've used stroke, right? that's one thing you might want to switch. for now, you can leave it, but i would strongly recommend that you start outlining with shape layers. they give variation to the outline and thus look more artistic and interesting. as well, i think you stroked the olive/oval shape of her teeth and upper lip first, then the rest of her mouth...because the corner there of her teeth (not sure how to describe it properly >_<) and the rest of her mouth's outline don't line up. always pay careful attention to detail! ;]

your colors are also highly faded. the outlines are gray (i suggest you darken them to a dark dark gray or black). the colors are pale and bright. there just is no richness and saturation to the wallpaper. so i suggest that you go and play around with saturation and brightness to reach a point where the colors are more lively but don't kill retina cells.

i hope you don't find this too harsh. ^^; good luck with this wallpaper. =]
