This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.
Hmmm... it seem i cant find the right scan for Yomiko Readman.. so i decided to look for some and came across some R.O.D art collection. So i got to do some CG coloring and add some texture and maple leaf.. so i hope you enjoy... :)
I need to futher improve more in my C.G techniques to apply it on some manga scans in MAR :)

A clean up version due to public demands...
but what's with the black squiggly lines around her and the leaves? did you add those? or did they come with the scan? the black lines detract from the wall, though.
I really like this wall because of the character and the background. The black in the background matches the picture so well, with all the decorations. And I like that border?? around the picture. Nice job! :3
This wallpaper is the sex. I absolutely love the scan, though it looks a bit low quality to me..but maybe that's just me. I really love the idea behind the wallpaper and how simple it is as well. The autumn leaves were a nice touch and the black background is rather nice too =3 Overall, it's just a very nicely done wallpaper that I'm absolutely loving. Simple and to the point and great for this time of year as well. Though where I live, it's already snowed a few times @_@. This is a favorite for me.
The idea of the background is good, but it could be better with a real autumn scene behind Yomiko, or cut the white parts out behind her, because a strange duality appears in it. Yomiko herself is cute, though, her right eye is very big, even if it doesn't look like, because her glasses are hiding it. The leafs are beautiful, and the title fits well. Nice wallpaper.
Gotta love the wall because of the Yomiko scan and those maple leaves, although it still lacks some design. Anyways, it's a great wallpaper!! +FAV for the good job!!
