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!

You know when you want to do two things at the same time but accedentally mixing them up? I just wanted to drink my cellphone and put my cup of tea to my ear -_-"

This will heighten the number of participants porbably since there aren't thaaat many monochrome scans that suit vectors here

I really like the VD contests. Although I mostly paint, I hope VD continues for some time. :D

Alright posting this is session zero for trismugistus to look at, if anyone else wants to comment as well go ahead.

I personally don't see anythig wrong with the wallpaper, the quality is good, the background goes well with the character, and ...everything else I wrote in that reply to trismugistus XD *i really don't feel like re-typing all of it*

Background info for those who don't know:
-This is my original character Kimiko-chan
-This was hand drawn on the computer with a mouse, don't critique the lines, they are meant to be that way, its called a style.
-Textures taken from: http://mayang.com/textures/
A really good texture website :3
Ehm any other questions just ask, anyways here's the wallpaper:

I'm not sure that fan-art can't be submitted on AP... Or at least not in the gallery...

The texturing is really interesting but what is the purpose of it in a Christmas wallpaper? I don't really see the connection between this red and the blue you use...

The font is a bit hard to read but it's more a matter of taste...

For me this wall is pretty eye hurting... This blue is way too bright...

The font also is a bit too bright.

And if the ball is a Christmas ball it needs to have a gold attach somewhere...

Is it normal that the outlines are finishing too soon? on the back and on the right arm...

But anyway the drawing part is pretty interesting! ;)

Good luck and Merry Christmas! :p

Unfortunately, I think it can be submitted as it's wall made from your original art work, and not from an anime scan. I may be wrong, but I do know that a friend of mine here had their wallpaper removed for that reason.

Other than that though perhaps you need to add a bit more to the wall other than a simple background texture. What would look really nice is some snow, or perhaps some sparkles. And as for your signature, it would be awesome if you made it a bit smaller and less bright.

Hmmm...as for the text, try a easier to read font. I really like the style, but it's a tad too hard to read heh. Other than that it's really impressive that you drew that :) Heaven knows that I can barely draw stick figures XD
