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!

All right :). My actual name Alessa (I know, kind of odd). Cerberus's real name is Walter. (He doesn't really like his name).

Awsome! Michelle, I'm just asking you this, do you want to know actual name ?(out of fairness). I also might tell you Cerberus's name as well.

Wallpaper
Something I worked on for about three days. I was stuck for quite some time, then I added a Eureka Seven fight scene scan. But it was boring, so I decided to add a sunset image under the fight scene layer, basically getting a combination effect and I liked it. I used C4D to get sparks in the image and spice it up a little. It doesn't sound like much, but it took a bit of time. Although I know I need to improve.

I understand you put a lot of work in this, but AP moderators don't care about that, they only look at your wall and say: 'rejected': -100 papers. Most important issues are the fact it's basically a sunset picture under a screenshot under 2 extracted characters, and your sig which should be at the bottom, not prominent in the wall.

I like the sparks :) good work. And ofcourse, good luck.

Hey raven^^

i fink you need to clean up the scans a bit. people always get into trouble for tat lol. hmm the sig should be right at the corners soo it doesn't obstruct the wallie. the 2 scans should'nt be soo low on opacity lol. the robot guy in the back just looks a tad wierd, but mayb tat's just me =P. i like your concepts though. mayb you should work a bit on colour selection and the blending. i know i sound a bit mean lol sorry =P hope this helps you a bit ^^

well good luck on fixing ^^

Thae fact that there's just the wall jumps out at me too suddenly...sublety is good

take some liberty with the text...you can have it at the side, but it doesn't work well with the design aspect. but i think the major thing that i dont like about this is the nirvash in the bg. it's kind of "there" but "in" the wall...is it riding the clouds or just floating in nothingnes?? i think it would look graet with just the sunset scene, but be sure to filter it a little in photoshop so the art style is consistent

the characters...they actually dont look too bad. im not sure if having them a little transparent is a good thing though...invest so time in retracing over the characters to produce a higher quality center image.

but keep up the good work though

OK, I got rid of the C4D renders as it was looking a bit messy. I also got rid of the pic featuring the Nirvash and applied effects to the renders/background. I didn't know ps was so good at bringing renders up to a higher quality. :)
Any comments?

Background is too simple. WHen I see this, I think its a cut and paste job. your scan needs a bit of cleaning, the exctraction seems a bit too faded out among the outlines of the scan. The BG needs to be either cleaned up, created by your own, or changed. Try and look for another Stock photo and blend it with another stock. More clouds would be good, other brush effects to the sky wont hurt and the font well, you could leave it at that but I would go for sumthing else. Maybe add light beams coming from the sun, a few textures on the wall and maybe i nthe BG would prolly give it an added touch. Goodluck with this one! Hope I was of sum help!

Another remake, I've added another pic with clouds, altered with filters, and changed the typo's color.

I faded the edges because I wanted them blended in a little. I added a layer also to give it higher quality.
