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!
Ha ha ha now I'n super anoying on the next level next ima grunt a strain for 15 whole minutes! until veins pop out and my my hair glows yellow like i was a part of some nuclear fall out
Well, heres a nice little collab wall from myself and Brad-M13.

I'm actually happy the way this turned out, It has a real "landscape" feel to it.
I'm also happy with Sabers pose.
Well I'm still learning stuff about doing walls so I had Aaron(aka:Vagetogt) tell me how to do stuff. I learned a new way to extract. I used the Pen Tool to outline the character and then selected the layer. It was a lot easier then the way I used to do it. LOL!
Next I started on the snow, blowing in the wind. Aaron told me that a good way to get the snow to look like the snow that was already on the character, was to sue the "Motion Blur" Filter. I'm not sure but I like the look it gave. The next thing I worked on was the mouth. I wanted her to have an open mouth so I looked at a few scans from the anime and drew the mouth like one of the images I found.

Well as you can see from what Brad said I pretty much stayed in the Background... LOL! I made the sky and the mountains. I know it's not much.. I did the lighting on the character because I messed with the sky. Most of the time I was just instructing Brad on how to do certain things. He really did great on the characters mouth. I'm pretty happy with that. I did add some warm breath in the wind to give it that I'm cold feeling.

Right now it isn't letting me download the wall, but from what I see it looks pretty good ^^ The colors are just right, and from what I can see the snow looks pretty good as well. One thing that could be worked on is perhaps making the background more distinctive and varied, as it looks a bit plain and very distant. You guys did a nice job on the wall overall though. Nice work :)
Nice scenic wallpaper
it makes me feels like i'm in a snowing season *altho i will not see any snow in my place* 8D
but why dont adding anything to its left? kinda empty, but if you leave it that way... still nice 8D
Hm... I must confess I have rather mixed feelings about this wallpaper.
Even though it is done quite well and the foreground fits the background quite well, I must say I am a bit disappointed about the quality of the Saber scan - especially in its darker patterns (e.g. legs). You don't see this in the preview pic so I had a fullview of the wall first.
I really like the feeling to it and therefore I have to say that I - overall spoken - still like it. But I have seen better walls.
Anyway: good work. Keep trying harder and I hope I didn't crush anything.
Thats a pretty nice wallpaper :) hehe. I think its very simple, but due to the great quality, and very good extractions, i minght give this one a 9/10 ^^ haha. I really like the snow work, sometimes its not that easy to do, but anyhow nice work, and very clean, and simple style!! :) hehe. Faving, great job you both.
