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!
Forgive me for the flaws in this one because i'm kinda rushing. :x but it's supposed to be a quick, simple, modest piece...emphasis on the "quick" part.
i vectored lacus from a magazine spread scan (credit: APA) and added extra shading to her hair, skin, dress, and cape, as well as gradients to focus the lighting more on her hands. after the success with the light-halo-thing in my "Candlelight" wall, i thought i'd create something similar here but in color. it didn't turn out perfectly: some colors, notably green, don't show in a lot of places and the colors might not be saturated enough for some people's tastes. as for the glitter, it was done with the round brush. i know, more glowy magical stuff would have helped. ^^;
Oh no no keep doing widescreens I will like you than =)
The "bubbles" makes it kinda look like underwater... Hmm what about thiner lines? This thick ones are like fist on the eye...=P
Good job on vectoring !
I like Lacus and long time no see a Gundam seed wall..
So happy to see such a good wall,the light effects are excellent and fit her well.This wall reminds me of hope and faith.
+fav, keep it up!
Wow i love her eyes o___o
the vector also soo nice~ but i still love your vector on your previous wall, the death note one xD;; anyway, the effects on her hand is just cool ; 3; i wish i can do that too xD;;
great job ♥
Wow! Just beautiful! You changed the eyes thought because I don't rmember sparkles in there. :o
The outline of the vector was just straight and some flowy which made me stunned! The sparkles were just completely different and way better than mine because your has more of an original effect and it contrast very well with the dark colours.
You're making me feel awfully non-productive. You've walled like 3 walls in the past month, and how many have I done. Hmmm...lemme check...
Yup. None. Awesome work in making me look bad xD
Just joking. Anyways, for a 'fast' wall, you've done really well. I could nitpick, but I won't, especially since I don't see anything that needs fixing. I just like all the effect that you've done here, and even though the colors in the halo aren't that saturated, it still looks really good. The sparkles are a nice touch as well too ^^
You've done an awesome job on this wall. And of course, your vectoring rocks :)
I wish I could vector as well as you~ D:
Anyways, it's a really pretty wall. I like all the effects you used, especially the candlelight one. ;P I'm not a big fan of the bubbles in the thumbnail, but it looks okay full screen. The part I like the most about your wall is her eyes. They're sparkly!
I want to wall so much... but comparing vectors always make me feel sad. u_u Actually I'll blame my divided attention on various mmorpgs, Anime and DotA. =/
I've always been a fan of the one glow that lights everything up, so thumbs up on that. Loved the clean outline and the eye shading. I wish I could freehand shade as well as you did the hair. >_> Is that a layer blur I see for the orb? How did you get the radiance glow around only some portions of the hand? <-- Photoshop Noob
I may be coming back to +fav this in the future if I ever get around to watching Gundam Seed. ^^;;
Ahhh, i can't take all this great vectoring, this is just great all around and I like ps effects for the water orb in her hand, asa you're on a roll, like halcyon said, care to share some magic with the rest of us in a slump?
Gotta love this for a change. It's been a long time since you've done a colourful wallpaper. I love it. The vector is simple and clean but you definitely made her eyes stand out. The light orbs could be improved but this is not that much of a problem.

Hey its been ages since a Gundam Seed wall ^.^ I love it! +fav It doesn't quite fit my screen but its still great. Is that her going into Seed mode? ;p

I would be very favoured! The 1st takes you to the main page, the 2nd the soundtrack page, and the last a little scan page.
