Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!
READ description if you can :D and... of course full-view Time: Since the Friday before July 4 Tools: 90% Illustrator + 10% Photoshop Resources:SquidPatterns, SXC.HU Texture for textured version, RanDoM CuRiosiTy for the wonderful Screenshot! Many Many Many Million Thankyuus to Grayserg! 33 Other: 80%=Fun! 10%=Annoyance 10%=Kill Computer >o VERSIONS:DARKENED : TEXTURED : GOLDEN
Let's see...This feels like a long time ago, but it's only been 2 weeks? I worked on this everyday just about...I don't even know how many hours, and I don't wanna count ><. layers=countless. What Inspired me to do this wall? Well, it's that VERY SEXYY and LURING screenshot of my favorite DIVA of course! look at that gaze..ahh...so evil..yet innocent.. Right when I saw this screenshot, I thought.Grayserg. Just that kind of Detailed Vector and glowing Style is exactly what this screenshot needs to create the atmosphere! It's my first time trying out this kind of vector and without Grayserg's tutorial, Grayserg himself of course ;) I wouldn't be able to pull through. For the hair, I mostly just looked at his works and..sorta just went with it. In a way, it was easier than i thought, but in another way, it was Wayy harder than I thought.
The first step, of course, is the hardest, because i had noo clue where I should place the shadings, and where each color value goes. but somehow, i was able to... go with the flow i guess ^^'
Choosing the colors, and adding details were difficult because the screenshot, as you can see, is...wreck.
THANK YOUU Grayserg for putting up with me and helping me all the way with this, I'm sure you know how much I appreciated your help XD
Thankyuu Squid for cheering me through all this...stuff.
THank you Kalico for the final check up, and I tried adding The Sheer silk cloth flowy thing, but LoL, it just didn't work out. whatever i tried to add to this, it just took away from the whole image of Diva, so, it's probably because my skills aren't there yet. but Thanks for the suggestion, i'm sure that if i did it right, it would've added to the sexiness.
BUt I'm Very Happy that I finally finished this. I feel like I just lifted a huge elephant off my back. NOw to the BattleGround Wall! >3
Ah...thanks to people who waited patiently for this wall to finish, I am really slow I know ;3
HOpe you like this as much as I enjoyed Making this! (yeah. it was fun to make) and...sorry if you don't like big faces staring at you, or if you haven't seen Blood Plus ( BECAUSE YOU SHOULD!), so you might not understand the mood/character, but ooo whatever. Your thoughts are always appreciated! :D
Waw waw waw >_> lol this is amaizing!
what a great peace of art, i love all versons i love this wall, i have always whanted to learn how to do this type of victor, it seems you learned first ;)
i can see that it look like a Grayserg wall, blu3angl you are really getting better and better at this :) keep this really really nice job up :)
of course this is on my fave. list now :)

I'm glad to see you submitted it :3
(not that i thought you wouldn't, but it was a pleasant surprise)
you [retty much know what i think. for such an early wall in your "waling career" it's fabulous.
i really wish someone would do one of sialor moon though. it would be the most fantabulous sailor moon wall EVER.
too bad the cloth didn't work out (my fault for not having the time to get it to you u_u. sorry about that. been working a lot)
wonderful job though. and obviously, a fav from me :3
go crimson orchetsra! xD
Blu3! congrats. No. CONGRATZ CONGRATZ CONGRATZ!!
damn THIS is a real evolution of your vector skills! (with Grayserg as a teacher you can't expect less hehe)
HELL IT'S SO CLEAN AND BEAUTIFUL! it's just perfect honestly, your best wall so far W/O a doubt.
The hair are vectored just as Grayserg's does, and it's beautiful. And she's SO HOT! she looks like laying in a bed waiting for her lover... MMMMH
CONGRATZ, Blu3, you deserve it (i wish i was a mod to highlight this)

I must say you surprised us all. When I first initially saw the thumbnail I was like "Oh greyserg made another awesome wallpaper." However greyserg wasn't the author of this beautiful and elegant piece. Amazing job. I wish I could full view this wallpaper but for some reason its not showing on my computer >.<. However the thumbnail speaks beautifully for itself. Awesome job. Maybe you can give me some vectoring pointers sometime in the future ;) lol. Thanks for sharing this lovely piece. +Fav
Wow - this walls looks absolutely incredible - love the details and every glowing touch it has!
It does exudes grayserg-ness though, I must admit - which is not a bad thing! :)
Love it - great job and congrats after all that hard work, surely pays off!
You know, I was about highlight this but then I realized tate highlighted an other wallpaper only a couple of hours before, hence I'm pretty much screwed up. :\
Still, I agree this is your best wallpaper so far. I know you were doing something nice because gray did talk to me about you days ago, so I was really curious to see what you were working on. My only small issue is that her ear could be a bit more detailed, and probably her eyes could use some small retouch but that's it. Diva's hair is nice and it looks exactly like that kind of 'pimping job' that gray usually does on his vectors.
One note: I've pmed you about it but just in case: the full size image at AP doesn't seem to be working (I viewed the darker version you linked in the description), I suggest you to edit and re-upload the file.
This wall is so sexy I can't believe it. I knew you'd make THE Diva wall someday blueangel and here it is! My god, this is definitely your best wall yet.
What do I like about it? Well everything of course. Not only am I another rabid Blood+/Diva fan but this wall is too good not to like. I've always loved Grayserg's style and you definitely captured it here.
I'm sorry, I can't stop looking at it. Definitely going on the desktop. +fav
Finally, she did it:)
I forget about critic..
My congratulations, Blu3!
I've read all this comments with great pleasure. I really happy with you:)
As I told to you before - your progress simply amazing.
I see, you could be make some details better:), but anyways, this wall looks very-very good!
Oh my. It would really help if my comp wasn't so evil and won't let me view the wall. I had to go with the golden version. o_O Anyways, a very accurate imitation of grayserg's style. :D Great job. Awesome wall, makes it look like the sexy gal's looking at me. x3 This tells everyone that doing a grayserg isn't a miracle. :O
OMG! This is an awesome wall! I love it. It gives you the feeling of lonelyness. Which it is the feeling I am having now. Anyway. You did an awesome job. Keep it up.
