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!
I used with the vector by bernouli and starting tweaking. I recolored the image to make Modoki, and reworked the earrings, because the two wear them on opposite ears. I had to do a mock up of the magic circle because I couldn't find this one in a large size with a good enough quality. done with pse.
I think this is ready for the gallery! Even though I do like it more without the texture in the background ^^ And a 1920x1200 resolution would be awesome!
The wallpaper is okay as it is now but, its not what I would consider complete in my opinion. I do not intend to offend but, I am going to be as honest as possible. Since this is session Zero I will try to offer some advice as well because we all want to improve our wallpapers here. ^_^
First, lets begin with your background. Now granted a plain background can look nice if executed correctly but, in this case you just can not do that with the subject you have chosen. Since, your trying to illustrate a the difference between the Makonas your background should reflect that as well. Now I can not give you instructions on how to show their differences. That is something you will have to figure that out on your own.
Secondly, I would suggest returning the earrings to their original positions on each Makona. This is simply to return the original difference that they shared and thus it would reflect the background. Though that again is strictly up to you.
Again, nice job so far and I hope my opinion will prove helpful to you. I hope you do not feel offended by my critique I just wanted to be honest.

Although I would have chosen a different color for the background, the wall is still really awesome.
