After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

I thought Mirror of Fate was a fitting name for this wallpaper for obvious reasons. It took me a long time, especially the vector. I think I may be finally satisfied, or rather, if I don't submit it now, I will always find something else to work on, so I need to just submit. I'm sure many of you have seen this a lot in Session Zero, and a lot of people said it should get accepted right there. Well, I hope it turned out better than it was before. I am pretty happy with it now. I finally dulled down the color a little bit to give it a somewhat faded look.

It was completely vectored in Illustrator with the live paint tool using the pen tool. I then did a bunch of shading and stuff in Photoshop.

Vector Credit: Me!
Hours of work: Way too many...
Illustrator live paint objects: OVER 9000!

Ok that was gay, but I do hope you enjoy the wallpaper.

I don't know anything about Illustrator or its live trace feature, but I feel as if I have to check it out after this wall! :D

The colors are good and I like the blur on the mirror. Saber's skirt is lovely. <3 emoticon

Some of the lines seem thick and messy in some places (I really have to check this live trace out...) and I think it could benefit from some choice shading, like on the wall. The colors themselves look good, but they look kind of flat to me overall.

I still think it looks nice and I love the pic of Saber.

Wow great vector!
I love how you added a bit of realism in the mirror by slightly blurring it is like there is a small stain there. Nice colors and very clean too and Saber looks quite nice in this.

I think from the thumb it really looks like a pretty average vector trace, up close though you can tell that you used the live paint tool and didnt line it yourself to give your own character to those lines

because i can see that you have alot of patience and theres nothing ostensibly wrong with this wall, allow me to be slightly harsh and nitpicky >D: the problem with all vector walls is that they often fall flat, esp when you use a pale color scheme like this. dont get me wrong, you picked the right colors to compliment each other but unfortunately this does better as a promo or screenshot than it does as a wall.

so in conclusion, while you do need to refine your vectoring technique just a tad, my best suggestion to you is to take risks and wall dynamic poses with color and depth and maybe even try some more complex techniques =]

Ok, I really want to say that is one of my favorite papers. Not only because the character but also the color, pose, etc.. But the angle of the first mirror from the left reflecting her body is a little strange.
Anyway, I do like it and thanks for sharing.. Well done!

First things first... really superb vectoring! I can imagine the 'way too many' hours of work time, and it does paid off. I don't know how it looked real, but the reflection is really nice, with a slight blur. And I like your choice of title, it's cool.

Yeah I do see what you mean Vita. That is something I would like to work on.

And Pinao, the Live Paint tool can be really effective in some vectors, and in others it can be useless. Illustrator, I have found to be absolutely essential when it comes to vector. It makes it so much more convenient. It saved me a lot of time on this wallpaper actually because the coloring was super easy. I just had to make the outlines and then make one simple line and add it to the Live Paint group where the shading was. Most of the time I spent was on the dang skirts. Those took me a while, but the Live Paint helped a lot with that.

Thanks all for the comments and favs, I appreciate it.

I like this. The wallpaper is very cute and will definitely satisfy any fan of Fate Stay Night! Though, I'd be interested in seeing what the original scan looks like? Regardless, this is well done, and the amount of work put into it is evident. Keep up the good work!
