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 just use differnet stones, like turquoise, onyx, swavarski crystals. Theres a decent variety of stuff. Funny thing is I don't wear any of it, I just enjoy making it.
I'm trying to hurry and finish making some jewlery. Me and my mom are doing a booth at a Christmas Mall this weekend, and I have a ton of stuff to do, but I'm taking a break from it now
Indeed, it has been quite a while since my last submission.. hell, I haven't even visited the site in a good while. However, I have good reasons for that. After a good number of hectic events, I've actually managed to finalize yet another wallpaper project that has been dragged along for an unnecessarily long time.
As for this wallpaper.. where to start.. let's just say that I wanted to make a Bleach wallpaper.. but at the same time, I was looking to make something blue and icey. The only viable subject that I saw at the time was Hitsugaya as he is the wielder of the most powerful ice zanpaktou. I started out with the idea of placing Hitsugaya with the beastly form of his Zanpaktou, the ice dragon Hyorinmaru, in a cold setting. It went relatively smooth.. until I got to the part where I had to place the ice dragon within the wallpaper. I could not.. let me stress that.. could not find a useable image of it no matter where I searched. In the end, I used an image to virtually create the dragon that you now see in the wallpaper.
After the main parts of the wallpaper were completed, I went back to the wallpaper and added in the little extra things to improve its look once in a blue moon. After all of that, I finally decided that adding in anything more would only detract from the overall wallpaper and decided to finalize it. I've thought about adding in some text about his release but as it is now, I'm not sure if it will be a generally favorable addition. Well then.. now to see if I can start working again on the other few dozen wallpapers I have in progress...
EDIT: Yes.. as always, you should FULL-VIEW.. the thumbnail doesn't do it justice...
If you haven't viewed this at full size, do so! The ice dragon is very well done.
I love the dragon, the scan, and the background. Overall the wallpaper seems to be a bit dark, though. Maybe it's because most of the background is cream, not white. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Like I said, I think the dragon looks great. Good work!
Omg, thats a wonderful wallpaper!! :)
at first I didnt see the ice dragon in the background..., maybe you should lighten it a bit up? so that the ice-part shines xD (srry for my bad english)
You're right the thumbnail doesn't do justice at all. The quailty of the wall is really good. However, there can be more work done, hitsugaya seems alittle too defined, and some of the greyish smoke or fog should be white ^^ I just picture everything icy and cold ^^ Overall its a beautiful concept.
Wow i just glanced at the wall and i fell in love wit it ....i love the dragon's leading lines around the entire wall...hitsugaya's positioning great wall

This wallpaper caught my eye as I was scanning the latest. The effects are well done. The ice dragon looks fantastic and hitsugaya looks very sharp. Overall, this is very good. Adding to favorites.
The ice dragon is super fancy! I love the way you implemented the background and foreground elements to create a whole scene, it looks awesome. Though since it is a glacial scene, perhaps the tan colour should be more white? It seems kind of odd with the tan. Good job, though!
