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).

It doesnt matter. If youd like to tell.

~Loleta 1 hour 40 minutes ago
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.

~Mysticmom2 1 hour 49 minutes ago

Hi there,

In my opinion, you should go with the 2nd wallpaper. The warmer color tones on the character are way better than the cool color tones in the first wallpaper.

Greetz,

Your wallpaper can't accept in Animepaper Gallery because of this :


is a high quality image that you can set as your desktop background in your operating system.
FAQ


So what is acceptable?


Finished, quality wallpapers made by you depicting anime characters (or game characters in a similar style) from named series.
FAQ


all these in the FAQ read it before submitting your wallpaper.

let me give you some suggestions!

1)The scan is too blurry, you should less blurring.
2)The background should be "High Quality" like i said above.
3)Change the title's way.

That all i hope i helped you. =]
and anything you need just let me know.

Surrre I'll take this as an advice.. Thanks a lot

But for the scan, in my opinion it is not that blurry that's what at least i think... but still I'll consider what you typed above

Thank You :)

because it'll be a high quality! but always remember you should first give credit! =]
Good luck.

I think it would be better if you referred to it as a vector instead of a scan, because technically, it's a vector, hahaha. But I wonder why the quality of the vector is low? (vectors are supposed to look sharp) Did you shrink it and then stretch it? That's the only reason I can think of for it to look like that... You mustn't ever stretch an image or the quality will go down! XD

About the colors of the vector, I would prefer the first version, but with deeper colors. The yellow seems too unnatural to me. If the program you use has a 'levels' adjustment, you can make them deeper from there. After that, I would contrast it a little and then maybe add some saturation. That would make Honey pop out more from the colorful background. He looks a bit dull right now.

Now about the background. I think some of the colors and designs in the boxes are a bit overwhelming for the simple-colored Honey. For him to stand out and be the focal point, the background would have to be a bit lighter. I also think there needs to be more variety in the colors of the BG, so I suggest using pastel yellows, greens, pink, and colors that are generally not any stronger/darker/brighter than the colors on the character. So having said that, I guess you probably know that I will say the box with the stripes is too stong and takes away attention, haha. The lines are also very different from the designs in the other boxes.

Even though there are a lot of boxes in the background, the background still seems too simple and there is a lack of depth. For that, I'm not sure how to fix it. Maybe you can make it look like a quilt with some white stitching around the boxes and have a somewhat thick border around all the boxes. But I'm not sure if that would work t(>_<t) emoticon

Also, since everything in the wallpaper is rather symmetrical, I think placing Honey in the center would be better. I dislike borders surrounding wallpapers because one side will always be covered by the taskbar and it makes me feel that I'm looking at an image instead of... another world... on my desktop ><;;;

For the text, I think it would be cuter to use a phrase from Honey that would match his expression. The font should also be simpler and fatter, hehe. I don't know why, but font in wallpapers always look better when they are plainer. The solid black against the background doesn't look good to me. I think if you added a pink shadow to white words similar to this it would have more depth. I keep talking about depth because it makes a wallpaper more interesting, whereas flatness is not as easy to look at (for me).

wooow that sounds nice and very enuthusiastic. Thank you very much for giving me such a guide to modify my WP. I guess that I'm gonna re-design it in a way that gives a deep worm look. But you know when i chose the colors, it was kind of I meant to be those colors. I do not know but anyhow, I'm trying my best right now to figure out how my new design should look like. I'll try to use your advice with the pastel colors. OMG, it is very hard since you have to fulfill an idea.

Thankkkkkkkkkkks a lot :)

I'm happy you don't mind my long comment! If you really want to keep with mostly pink for the background, then I think it would be ok if the white and green boxes were removed, because they are the only boxes with different colors :)
