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!
At first I thought this wallpaper wasn't that good, but most of the members at theotaku believed otherwise. It's not that bad, I mainly used PS brushes to create texture and made the image to a Sepia color. I wanted it to have that 'old' pic kind of feeling. Any suggestions?
Thanks =] I also don't know what else to add, it looks pretty much done for me...well, I'll wait for more feedback and if they're all positive, then I'll submit it to the gallery =].
Looks really good! i like the overlaying texture not sure what it is but it makes the wall sparkle.
one suggestion though would be to make the text a tad bigger but not too much.
This won't be accepted. Is that the whole scan right there in it? and you've just slapped some texture and some brushes on the original scan? That won't cut it, there's littler effort. You're supposed to be original and make up your own background for you wallpapers.
Nah, it might get accepted, but add some touches of your own. perhaps your could find pictures of real books and use the titles of them on the binding of the books in the wall. you should try to embellish it more if you want to just use the scan. also give the brush/ texture a reason to be there, right ow it looks like ti was just slapped on, and it should make more sense than that, artistically speaking. work with other things in the wall to make it look more like a part of the picture or the picture style, rather than an overlayed texture, as it is now.
Not that my opinion means much, since I'm hardly much of a waller at all, but I'd suggest doing something with her eyes. Give them more life, more variation in shading or color. Her eyes take up so much of the wall, and are such a prominent feature, they should be more impressive, more enchanting, more like the eyes of a bibliophile lass filled with wonder and a love of learning. I also like the suggestion to add in titles of particular books, or manga, or whatever. The picture needs some particulars, so far everything has a nice feel, but it remains very generic. I think a few details, in her eyes and on the books would go a long way here. I suppose making the text a bit bigger might be worth a try as well, though I'm not a big fan of text myself. Happy walling!
Mmm I really like the scan it's very clean and the brushes look very good on this the thing that I could do it's blending that part of the library with another one to make it bigger and add some details or something like that it's avery good wall just need a little more effort or you can cut the background and put other, well good luck on the wall
I like the theme to it. Though i think everything seems to blur together to much. I think it could use a alittle more glassy texture in it or somethen.
