Oh man,if this doesn't look ok,I don't know what will...
This is my first vectored wall...it was really hard to make,I must say...2 whole days(minus 2x10 hours of sleep)...
The background is stupid,that's the only thing I don't like...I didn't have any idea what to put in there...the original scan looked like this.. http://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=2007073065500mi9.jpg
I tried to vector the trees and all as well,but it didn't look realistic at all...
If someone has any bright ideas,let me know...
Oh,and let me know if I can upload this wall on here without changing anything,as well
All hail people!

It looks really good i think however the scan youve used seems a little bit pixiated and blurred :S apart from that i really like! if you can clean up your scan it would be great!

Oh hi storm! I think you should submit it it's a very good wall^^

It looks unfinished, i don't think it would get through the moderators. the stars in the bg are a good addition, but if your going to use stars like that, you might want to make the sky look more like it would at dusk, because stars just simply aren't visible during the day (you did mention realism right?) the stairs could use a bit more work also, the top of the stair divider doesn't look right, the lines should connect there. and some of the small columns along the railing aren't in line with the railing like they should be, which makes the railing look bent. use the measuring tool, to figure out how high above the railing the 1st column is, and make all of the rest match it. also the railing looks plain, which doesn't fit their style, try to make it more like the original.

for the bg, you might want to just add a mountain range, they are fairly simple to make, because mountains follow no set pattern, which means however it's peaks and valleys are will look natural, just don't make them too rounded, or too jagged. you can also mask anything in the mountains that you don't think looks right in clouds. just look at pictures of cloud topped mountains to get a feel of how it should look.

this wall has the potential to be a really good wall, but right now it's just too plain. i hate to tell you this but 2 days, even though it may seem like a long time, is short and usually rushed for a 1st time vectoring an entire wall. just be patient w/ the wall, and with yourself. you'll get faster as you get better as you learn more things.

good luck!

There's nothing wrong with the stars but I do agree that this wall looks unfinished.

I don't really mind the architecture except for the fact that the lines are too thick and thus, distracting from Lelouch; the thickness is mainly inconsistent with the background though. The sky is nothing but color. Keep the lines thin or try taking them out alltogether so that your colors make the lines themselves. I think this way, you won't have to redo the stairs and such.

I really think you should get rid of the gazebo. It's taking focus away from Lelouch because it's in the background but right next to his face. Plus, the sky is solid so it would look better without the gazebo blocking it.
An idea is to have other characters from the series in the distant background instead of the gazebo. This would definitely help your plainness problem if you could manage to make them look decent.

I think you should work more on lighting and detail. Lelouch's hair, for example, could benefit a lot from better highlights and shadows. The same goes for the staircase and the steps on which Lelouch sits.

Lastly, Lelouch himself, I think, needs more richness in color and perhaps detail.
The colors of his clothing specifically are not making sense with the overall light blue theme. Please consider other colors for his coat especially.
