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!
Well, I made another submission. Adding dirt and grunge effects, removing of the light bulb and improving the scan. Yes, and I've also created a better sky.
I simply love the despair and emptiness of the scan and I wanted to show how miserable could look places like this one, since I know it pretty well from the city I live in.
And hope I gave you a lot of space for icons.
Devoted to all those who understands the meaning of this wall, especially then to ~kouryuuxfighter
Thanks to ~grubino and `Mohshinobi for their help and suggestions.
Thanks guys!
WOW... just wow...
*totally speechless from the beauty of the wallpaper*
I don't know where to begin. You have out done yourself this time `Selennna.
I love the grunge effects and the darkened background. The colors work perfectly and the scan is awesome. The scan also blends in well with the background and the environment. I can totally feel the emptiness and despair of this wall just like you intended.
I think the reason I really like this wallpaper has to be because I kind of see my young self in the place of that character. It's nostalgic and somewhat painful but at the same time, I love it...
Definitely a personal favorite.

What gloomy coloring! I find it really interesting how he stands out so much from the dark background (and how he's off to the side). Hm, I don't really think this scan, or maybe just his expression, matches what is written by Mearns because he looks like he's posing for a picture more than being reflective. That's just my interpretation though. Anyways, good wallpaper!
Amazing and professional
The work of a master. i am jealous from your perfection
The blue /green lighting in dark-bg. like the character dark and mysterious
Glad and happy to see another wall from you

I met a man who wasn't there,
He wasn't there again today,
