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!
The theory says all colors are egal except 3 :
White for the light, Black for darkness, and the most important of all,
the point of equilibrium of the chromatic scale, the perfect one : Red.
Red for Love, for fire and blood, Red for all the passions!
I made this wall with this vision in my mind : a dark world surrounding a white guy, like a glimmer of hope in the deep night. This guy lights up the world around him : he fights against Darkness.
The rose symbolizes the passions, which have not their plave in this fight, but which exists no matter what and makes the beauty of this world.

Well... honestly, I wanted to make a monochrome wall with the image of Allen at the beginning of Chap from the 2° manga. The first time I saw this image, I knew I had to wall it. It appears that I was not the only one... but I used a scan, not a screenshot as most of wallers who have walled this image.
Originally, Allen wear a long coat, not a cape, but to give the impression of presence in the wall, I had to change his coat to a cape.
On the original image, the hand was out of proportion, so I resized it. The original rose was weird too.
I redraw it entirely with a photography as base. The most difficult and enjoying part was to color it :
I wanted to try anolibb's style (I think I've succeed ), so here is the result.
I didn't draw all the clothes details because with too much details, I couldn't have used all the forms on Allen's cape (and because of laziness too, I must admit ).
Perhaps some mistakes remains since I spent only 6 hours on it, so don't hesitate to tell me.
It was my first widescreen wall, and I'm proud of the result. I guess I will not be able to wall anymore until september 2008, so please enjoy this one!
As usual, constructive comments and favs are welcome!
I think it's a great wall :3, the high contrast attracts the attention to the rose, that for me is a great job highlighting the main object on this wall, and the vectors are just perfect :3 +fav
Very pretty! The black and white really goes well with the small amounts of red in the image. The high contrast is neat to look at on a desktop and I like the centering effect. Awesome work!
Amazing wallpaper! I usually don't like all the Black and White wallpaper but this one dedicated to allen is amazing and I like your choise to put a red rose in him hand!^^
I do really like it...I love that connection of red, white and black color...
everything looks good (the rose is really nice) but the place where the inner lines end (on the top of his shoulders) looks strange for me...like something is missing...
and the difference between "smooth" head lines and clothes 'n' hand lines is also too visible.
Grayman is a very popular anime where i live right now, so to see a nice done wallpaper is great, i love the image and the colours and the whole thing you did with the wallpaper, the black white and red just enhanced the whole thing, that is a first class job and a great result, keep it up
So pretty!
I love the red rose! It gives really a nice effect on the wall...
I like everything on it!
