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!
Nice concept, but it doesn't look very natural. The plants are too systematic and don't blend well with the entire scene, the characters shadow are too clean cut, compared to the textured background. There are ways to make this work if you could spend more time experiments with various techniques.
Love the perspective and the silhouettes.
Like mentioned by the others, the concept is great, and the sunset scene is a nice choice.
The only thing I didn't like that much is the brush you used on the trees...On the whole they're incoherent with the big picture--their sharpness sort of bothers me. If you were looking at the trees from a distance, you would most likely be unable to see the leaves so clearly (I think :P ).
All in all it's pretty good. Thanks for sharing! :)
More silhouette? O_O
ahah although no prob about that XD maybe you need something like using different depth on those three XD
coz the bg looks detailed but not the chars XD

Wow the sunset is really beautiful... i like the silhouettes... but i think the mountain and clouds in the right, didn't blend with the background much...
but maybe it's just my taste...
keep up the good work^^
It looks amazingly real. It's very brilliantly colored as well. The leaves blowing are a wonderful touch also. the characters blend perfectly too. I must saw it's very nicely done. Great job, keep it up! Adding to favorites.
This is one of my more favorite effects, especially in a background. When you detail a character by their silhouette, and even more so I love the dusk... I find it easy on the eyes, and I tend to like that time anyhow on a personal level.
Awesome sunset textures, but I can see individual lines vaguely separating the colors. Shows up even more on a higher resolution, but this sunset it worth it =).
