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!

Sacred Blue Lotus~ Midnight Bloom
Years ago, I found out there were yellow lotuses blooming during the afternoon. I concluded: Pink=Morning, Yellow=Afternoon and Blue=Night. Blue lotuses exist; sadly, it doesn't bloom in the evening. I still want to believe Blue Lotuses bloom in the night... this is the inspiration for this wall.
I vectored Watanuki, Himawari, Mokona, some lotuses, the table, the window (which is in Wataniki's earring. I couldn't see the design in his earring so I replaced it with the design in the window.) and the smoke. I removed Domeki and Yuuko because I like Watanuki and Himawari. Since I removed Domeki, Watanuki will lose balance over the flower dish so I removed the dish and let his arm rest on top othe table and then added Mokona. Now it's more logical.
One thing nice about making this wall is that I used different coloring styles. The black lines, black shade, black hair and white smoke are vectors; the lotuses have gradient coloring; and the rest having soft blur shadings. I didn't get tired of coloring.
I made 2 versions, Light and Dark.

Stunning wallpaper~! And I love the story behind the title. :3
xxxHOLiC art is so detailed and I love when some one perfectly vectors it~~
The coloring on everything is fantastic; I really like that you kept all the shading nice and soft.
Hmm and I loved the lavender background until I saw the dark background. O_O I definetly think that's my fav~
Wow, very well done. I have a water garden and I would love to reward you by suggesting an example of lotus or water lily that blooms in the evening. Unfortunately all of the evening bloomers that I know of are white. If it will help to give you more inspiration, I will tell you that all of the water lilies and loti that I know of are the most fragrant members of the genus.
Wow~Your colour is look so nice. It really giving me some water feeling, but if you put Watanuki & Himawari some light skin colour, it will look perfect.
Ah, sorry, I went to sleep so I didn't offer you my opinion...well, I would say I liked the light version better anyway so I'm glad you uploaded that one first. Love the simple BG but as Kit has mentioned, the blurred cell shading looks a bit odd compared to the sharpness of everything else. XD
This wall is cool and well done although the lines look way to jaggy in some places and its kinda bothering comparing to the blureness of the whole shaddings.
other than that love the black version ^^
I like it, but I think that you need to check more your vectors next time, you vector very fast, so it won't take you to much to clean up some details...
I think this wall is very pretty. I love the atmosphere from it. The quality is good, nice texture, and very clean like. I do think that maybe you should soften the vector lines a bit since the background is very flow like and soft. Love how you put the two characters together. Good job ^-^.
I love clean simple walls and this wall is beautiful like all your other walls ^^ only problem i have with it would be ok 2 problems... is that their skin looks dead colored O_o but if that was the effect you were going for that is ok and another is mokona looks glowing O_o? like his shading you used yellow? O_o but other than that this wallpaper is really pretty ^^ i love the color scheme on both dark and light keep up the good work ^^
Firstly congrats on your promotion and again necie work on the vector and converting it to a lighter version background.
keep up with the good work

Anyway, I like your work.

Other than that, everything else looks lovely! :)
Well, the wall. Nicely vectored, especially Hima, Wata and Mokona. But the BG seems a bit too plain. A little motifs or such in fader colors?

Colours are gorgeous, and the simply BG brings this couple to light.
Nice structure, very esthetic whole...
