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!
Bloody hell. it's finished. at last. this wall may be the most harrassing one i ever made. i'm honestly happy and relieved this trip in hell ended.
so, the usual lil story behind my wall. I was browsing Atherality gallery when i tumbled on this scan of Maria Tachibana from Sakura Taisen. i fell in love and decided to wall it. how common as a story huh?
Now, the hard part. In fact this wall was like a challenge i put to myself: i wanted to do everything i never really worked on in it. Namely, photo manip, painting, and light effects. i let you judge how it turned out ;)
So, everything is stock photo in here, that i either painted over or textured, except for the posters and the stencils that i created myself. I won't explain you everything i did to arrive to this, but well, just know it was a real pain in the a**.
I have to thanks all the people at Pointless Vandalism for the great feedback they give me all along this wall (edited maybe 8 times) and especially Kyendo for all the time he spent with me to help me (thk you thk you thk you Kyen)
Here's a snowy version i made real quick, for snow lovers :p

I am the lord of my photoshop
Vector is my body, render is my blood
I have created over a thousand wallpapers
Unknown to pixels
Nor known to quick fixes
Have withstood pain to create many textures
Yet those brushes will never fail me
So as I pray, Unlimited Jason Works!
