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.
Great, now im going psycho... it may be possible ive been spending a few hours searching for a scan that i think i saw but truly never existed... it was all in my head =.=;
When i was already going to upload this wallpaper, i suddenly realized i had absolutely no idea what to use for a title. in fact, i think my present title is kind of dumb, but oh well, you guys aren't here to look at titles anyway ^_^. this is one wallpaper that had undergone so many different permutations in the making that i joked on session zero that the versions were turning out like the commercial for reeses peanut butter cups: how many ways can YOU eat a reeses? ^_^
anyway, i am rather pleased with the way it turned out. i know maybe some will think it's too busy, but i like my desktop backgrounds overflowing with details since i personally don't use icons at all. i'm happy with the painted feel i managed to incorporate with the part inside the x. the composition of this paper is actually based on the composition of the original scan: i noticed that sorata and arashi were in a sort of x formation themselves in the picture and i thought it was too good an opportunity to pass up.
hmm, that's about all i have to say. thanks to everyone on session zero for your help ^_^
you made editing this wallpaper a pleasure ^_^
Wow, this got approved pretty quickly. Yeah, the title's cheesy, but it kinda fits.
You started with a great concept with that large cross, and it was fun going through so many different versions in session zero. Peanut butter cups! *glomp* ^~^ Excellent work! *pats back* Too bad it's too small for my monitor.
Yes ,you keep the origin style of the oregin scan of the couple,I like them,and wish them happiness,the color you used is charming,all blend well ,and the "x"added as a unforceful confine to the two are quite a new conception
The title is not bad at all.
Keep it up
Wow! Just wow! I've always loved that scan and you have done a really great job using it! The design is both unique and well executed. The textures are great! Great job!
Thanks for sharing!
A sorata-arashi wall! gimme!
it could use some cleaning and more sharpness
the big x is a grand idea, the funny thing is its better visible in the thumbnail than in the full-sized wall
and yea, it is busy
bad luck its so small...
I love the concept for this wall... kudos for coming up with an original idea for a Clamp wall, and I don't think it looks too busy; the red X in the middle is a tad bit repetitive though, and the scan looks a little too blurry/filtered in full-view...
Hehe... thats a good anime
hm... the huge X in the middle looks really kool
i like how their clothes change color from inside to outside the X
just needs more resolutions, nice wallpaper =_=
Sweet! it got accepted. i really like how your wall all came together. the final version really looks awesome, love those colors. i'm happy you didn't go with the version that had that box effect on it, this one definitely is better. anyways, awesome wp! :)
Best idea for an X wallpaper! Although it seems a bit chaotic... and that red thread has a pretty weird shadow, a bit too strong. Maybe the big X on the wallpaper could be emphasised by making the rest of the image less dark and less saturated. Still, very nice colors and interesting composition. Keep up the good work :)
Great, definitely something to be approved, but still...
I think that you did too much rendering to it that it looks
crappy in large resolution.
The background and the usage of the big X is good,
but the line quality and the sharpness is definitely
lacking. For that, I think you should do something to it.
Other than that, a good wallpaper if it's being a little
bit clean and clearer for the line quality.
