As an animation, Bakemonogatari has a simple, clean art style. But the guest illustrations for the series are anything but simple! So, it's great to see that °Tens took on a more complex illustration and made it his own with vector gradients so fine at points it more resembles painting that vectoring. Do have a look at this beautiful wallpaper!

There is no such magic file size trick, other than removing complexity/colors

And if you really care about quality, you would wait for the v6 and submit svg :3

If you cared about quality you would have have learned how to optimize your file size in photoshop beyond the default save as method.

Why does this board insist on quality walls, but doesn't allow me to upload it in highest jpeg quality?? The shades are all messed up on 11 (instead of 12) on Photoshop.

Oh...this is very nice. Personally, I'd go for the second darker version. The first version was too glowy and doesn't really quite give the wallpaper that intimidating feel.

I particularly love the font choice. It's very violent looking.

As for the background, the extensive use of orange, yellow and red hues give the background that claustrophobic rusty slum feel.

The only thing that I noticed is that white fluff along the black stringy thing on his left shoulder. Might want to remove that whole piece altogether since it kinds of look like it's sticking out of his shoulder.

And also might want to stoke that same things along his right arm to remove some white fluff there too.

Brilliant! I love the dirty feel to that background. And I agree with Dias, second version is definitely better.

The only things that get me are that his left arm (which is on the viewers right side) looks cut off, and maybe rounding or fading it in would make it look less sharp.

And, the text, for me, stands out just a tad too much, and lowering the fill or opacity maybe 5-10% would workbetter. But that's more of a personal preference, and not really necessary.

I like the second one. The glow makes the lines too rough, like bad extraction. And there's the part on his arm there...
I like the color in the glowing one, maybe you could find a halfway point.
(Great Manga..)

Arg, that sharp line is still there on his left elbow..above the letter A in BLAME. The frozen one is nice, the line isn't as noticeable, but his face (and rest of body) is too dark now.. And I don't think the text matches as well.

Oh, very nice. I prefer the first one, though the image does seem a little washed out.
