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 am doing really good today just wished i didnt have to work lol. But the bad thing is that I start at three and i have to get going now. So it was nice talking to you.Bye bye lol I'll see you later
Ever watch those IRC Samurai re-runs at 3am? well I have, and almost every single movie has a scene in which they run up to each other, screaming, the hit is so sudden and quick that the viewer isn't given any indication as to who won. Until the rediculous amount of blod begins to spray out of one's body, in a way only Japanese film makers and Quintin tarantino can produce.
The scene in this wall, is a cliche one, but it is very dramatic. one look at the character's face and you feel all kinds of painful emotions running through your body. It doesn't matter if he is good or bad, you can't help but pity his pathetic look. Of course, for those who've read Dogs, you'd know what the deal with the scene is, and for those who've read it AND know what the title means, well you can understand how well it fits. "Vicarious Atonement" is a wonderful song from the upcoming Mars Volta album, which you should all go buy!
Why only three colors? These three colors provide the greatest contrast that can be made. Such a strong contrast not only fits the mood of the piece but it also strengthens it, it helps send that tingling feeling of surprise down the hairs on your back. Yet, there will be those of you who prefer color. In my opinion, if I were to add any sort of background, it would be too distracting and would oly disrupt the breath taking scene. If you notice, most of these scenes, when done in movies, are almost always done in a field, or a place where nothing can be seen behind the characters.
I have a special liking towards walls consisting of only red, black, and white. When used correctly these three colors can be extremely powerful combined.
Cliched as the scene may be, it's still a great wall. A simple wall but it carries the emotional atmosphere that you wanted to portray. Nice job on the vector and you picked a good color for the blood. I must also commend you for the text. Text is a commonly overlooked feature of walls and many people don't realize how important it is. Text has ruined quality walls before, but here you used a smaller font that matched the mood and expertly placed it. Another quality wall by MK. +fav

Ish, is this your creativityness? >3
I won't say this is not first class vector.. because it is =d
but.. no matter what I don't like the idea that you just pretty much remade the scan.. not that it looks bad. but that's my problem :/ so still me please <_<
I like it, because you can read the emotions on their faces and I wonder what they are thinking about at that moment. Black, white, and red go very well together in this wall.
I'm a sucker for black, white, and red, too, so this immediately got my attention. Your description is great. You really go into detail about why you did what you did. His face is great, you really get the emotion from it. My favorite part is the text though. So well done!
I really like this piece. The stark contrast, not only in color, but in detail vs. simplicity is quite beautiful.
I only have two tiny critiques that are quite miniscule. I'd recommend slightly diferentiating the petals. Even though they're resized and rotated the simplicity of the white surroundings makes it very easy to tell that they're the same petal. Just by erasing/adding a little bit of different volume to the petals would fix it right up.
The only other thing I'd recommend is taking the one big blood drop on the top of the injured man's hand. The perspective of it looks flat on in comparison to the slant of the top of his knuckles. Just do a Lens Correctin in Photoshop that'll add a really nice bit of perspective to it and make it more look like the blood drop is actually on his hand.
Otherwise I really love it. The deatil is astounding and your placement of the title is lovely. *applaudes*
Oh yeah, Quintin tarantino will love this wall. I'm sure he will stick it up as a poster next to his Kill Bill posters lol ^_^
First off, magnicficant vector. Ideas like these are simply the best, putting up it on a wall is even better. Its true, the black and white versions definitely brings in the suspense of like "omg, who dead?" or "i wonder who got cut". Seriously an instant fav and it will be a classic ^_^
YEAH! Love the concept here! Awesome way of capturing a scene! I really like how you vectored the scene from the scan and made it look like sumthing from an anime series! I also love the simple use of only 3 colors! Very creative! Worth being on any desktop! Instant Favorite! Well done!
I'm so happy to see more DOGS wallpapers surfacing. I really love this wallpaper, that's why I'm giving it a FAVV. You're really brought out Naoto's rage and Magato's shock of being cut. It is stunning. I also love your choice of using three colours. Red, white, and black. Beautifully done!
Well i like the simples of the colors, just black wihtie and red are good selection...
the color version don't like me...i like too looks different to others wallapers, but don't have nothing make it "especial" y feel something missing...
anyway i like it.. great work... *save*
