This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.
Great, now im going psycho... it may be possible ive been spending a few hours searching for a scan that i think i saw but truly never existed... it was all in my head =.=;
Air gone grunge!
all it took was a break away from the norm for redxxii to create an awesome wall. The beautiful background and the touch of feathers makes the anime air take on a whole new meaning.
Most of the AIR walls I've seen seem to be light and fluffy with plenty of clouds, flowers, and other cheerful things; I figured why not put a 'twist' on that idea and do a grunge wallpaper instead. The wall itself took a while to make, particularly getting the color-balance right and getting all the feathers set how I like them (not to mention extracting the character image was a complete pain). Overall, I think it turned out pretty well, enjoy.
Oh, and big thanks to Kalico and nat for their help.
This really does deserve the Highlighted spot! This is definitely not another Fraken-wall (ie. a wallpaper that has just been thrown together). I particularly like how you did the feather and light effects ?? and most especially how you made it all consistent. The light source falls just right on the character and on the feathers, giving the whole thing an ambience of subdued elegance. From reading your comments, I cn tell you did a lot of work on this one.
this is great the light blending on the top left looks so goldish to me and i lug how her hair gets engulfed in that heavenly glow. and the grungy background and feathers touch up to this feeling of...i dunno happyness? its a feeling i cannot explain when i see this wall...
Grunge and feathers! *love* The background is just too cool. I just adore the lighting and the rays along with it. Really awesome job! It's always nice to do something different for a change.
AIR gone grunge? lol... a very much exact comment on this one... it's really unique, yet matching composition...
the colors are really nice, and the feather and the light ray gives a very different but awesome look to the whole wall... :)
Misuzu looks as cute as ever...
not so sure about the title, tho.. but that would be my only gripe about this wall.. ^_^'

I love the golden shades you used, and the light effects and abstract background are amazing.

Oh wowow! o_o the auburness is so wicked, the mesmerizing shines are fantastic, and the whole wall is just incroyable! [incredible in french...i think? XD]

I'm a sucker for Air, so I might be biased. Still, the golden hues superimposed on the feathers falling around Misuzu perfectly compliments her role in the series. This wall's a keeper.
There is no comparsion, this wallpaper really stands out although it was from a cg in the magazine, this really is great there is no other words to say other than that good job well done
Preeeeetty. I definitely downloaded it. The feathers are well placed and, contrary to the thumbnail, don't overwhelm the viewer. The light is excellently placed, and the background is great grunge. My only real complaint is the kind of weird expression on Misuzu. Dunno why but it seems weird. But she's perfectly integrated into the wall; this one is seriously excellent work!
