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 made this wall in about a week's worth of nonstop work, even though it didn't come out exactly like I invisioned, I still think it's my best wall ever. I hope the consept came out clearly...
-Made in Photoshop
-Stars 100% from scratch
-Water + waterfalls 100% from scratch
-Clouds are some from scratch some from a cloud brush
-Birds were with a brush
-Castle, dolphins, and Sakura were pre-existing pictures
-Sparkles and little touches were done by hand
-Magic talisman below Sakura was a picture and I added the effect, distorted, ect.
-Sun was some from scratch and some with brushes.
I tried to create dynamics and drama by hand shading most of the wall, please let me know if it looks good.
I myself am not a Card Captor fan, however this wallpaper caught my attention. this is very well made. I really like that little magic circle thats a nice touch. You did a very nice job with this wallpaper and you must have worked very hard on it, you did a lot from scratch and what you made from scratch you made well. Very very good job, I applaud you for your hard work. The water and the waterfalls are beautiful so you obviously did a good job with that! The only problem I have withthis wallpaper is that I think its too bright or maybe its my moniter. Well never mind that I'm just a big fan of dark and morbd wallpapers but that is strange that yours caught my eye. You also did a wonderfull job of adding somewhat of a magical feeling to this wallpaper due to the element of fantasy in the background. Well once again great job. Keep up the marvelous work!
Very nice wallpaper, with quite an interesting background - caught my eye immediately ^-^
I'd suggest vectoring Sakura, but even like this the wallpaper looks really well!
Wow! You made all those things from scratch? I am very impressed! This wallpaper is a fantastic piece of art! I really like the background with all the details and the waterfall flowing through the clouds! I really like the dolphins too! Sakura looks awesome! The magical symbol under her feet is a great effect! Looks really good! Thanks for sharing! Favorite!
