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!

Hello everyone, here's my first wall.. i'm just posting this here to know what you guys thing of it so far, so feel free to comment and suggest anything you want.. i still need to clean up the scan a little more and maybe add something to it later on. This wall has been completely made from a screen shot that i took from the last episode, and basically i just vectored about hmm.. 90% of it. As for the face i just made the opacity low, for the texture from the actual ss to show, otherwise it looks weird. So comment and suggest anything that may help improve this wall.

P.S i apologize for the double post, it wasn't intended.. argh i can't figure out how to delete it lol, so sorry and just ignore it.

The colors are very good, excellent. The lighting is good... ... ...You just have to improve the lineart and texture. You can change the tone of the red shadows (By the over-exposing), and take off the metallic effect on the text.
Spect that help.

Hi' nice wall shot' these wall has a very nice side view. i really like it. but, though i feel that the wall isn't perfect yet. eey.. yupe' i think that the wall is still too blur. can you feel it? not the whole face, you did a great job at his eyeballs, mouth, nose hair. except those part, why don't you clean it up. ex: his skin, and the part that shaded with shadow. furthermore, that's this weird stuff on his face. eerr. how to said, the part where scratching his face around. haiz~ just look the thumbnail below so that you understand what i meant.

legend: for the blue part, is what i meant from the part which have very scratchy line around his face. as for the green part, is what i meant from the part that's blur and looks not clean enough. that's all the part that i can critics in this wallpaper. err, as for the text of course. i like the cross things and the small writings on it, though i don't like those big "DYING MAN'S" & "LAST WISH" writings. look awesome but it's kinda not suit. lol~ i suggest you change it into a more luxury feels of text on it. well, this part you think which better yourself. hehe. anyway, no offense and as always. good luck for the wall. adios~

regards, sen

P.S. i like Kira more than L. lol. xD

Yay finally a comment =D.. well your right you caught me there >.> i need to clean up the scan more and I know what you mean it's still blury on some parts. As for the text i just used whatever i had one me lol... kinda lazy, but i was planning on changing it on the final copy of course. Thanks for pointing out those mistakes I'll fix them soon. Also i was thinking of adding these small glowing lights around where the text is on the right side.. to show him passing onto the other world, but i can't seem to find the right brush for it... well i guess i'll just have to make them myself. Thanks again! appreciate your help.

K well here are the the updated versions.. i can't really decide whether or not to add something on the right side of the wall. Personally i think it looks better just plain black, but someone commented earlier on filling up the right side, so I added something to it. On these updated versions I've refined the hair vector and some of the bluryness that Sinishi pointed out. So let me know what you guys think of it and whether or not it's ready to be submitted now.

I need your opinion guys about the image quality... is it low? I went ahead and submitted it, but got this msg about low image quality. I've vectored about 90% of it and yet I was told that there was hardly any vector done. I've posted this on sz gallery number of times while it was in progress and never was told that image quality was low. It'll be appreciated if you guys can help me out with fixing the image quality and what should be done.

I do like the composition, but sorry to say but the image is blurred. The problem with upsizing images is the quality will degrade badly.
There is a good tutorial on full vectoring here, that will most likely help you acheive an excellent quality to your image.

VECTOR TUTORIAL

Hope that will help, Cheers

I've asked other people for their opinion on the image quality and it looks fine.. i don't see how it's blurred. I just don't want to go through it all again .. and vector cuz i have done it already. Thanks for your help though.. i'll think of something. comments and suggestions are always appreciated.

I kind of agree with Dino, that the image has to be a lot clearer. Parts of the hair has to be cleaned up. I would suggest that you try the vectoring, as it would help your wallpaper look a lot better and if you take a look at other wallpapers done with screenshots, you'd know what Dino and I meant. Look around in the galleries. But try cleaning up the places that s3n suggested. Keep it up!

... everything has been vectored. Please view the original scan, which was a ss that I took from the last episode and u'll see the difference. The only part that wasn't vector are the blood stains near the text. That's cuz i wanted those blood stains on his face to show him all beat up.

The wall doesn't have a bad idea behind it. I like the version without the text on the right side but I also do not like the blood tear you put in Light's eye. As far as I can tell the hair is the only thing that got vectored and it looks great. But Light's face could of been done better.

Yea, I'll fix his face and vector it properly. As for the tear it wasn't meant to be a blood tear nor i see any red in it... it's just transparent so i'm guessing your talking about the colours you see through it. :S
