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!
You know when you want to do two things at the same time but accedentally mixing them up? I just wanted to drink my cellphone and put my cup of tea to my ear -_-"
Yeah, I'm out of my 4 month abscenes. I know I posted this earlier in the Session Thread, but School started and I didn't have much time on to the wall now.
Love to Kalico for all the suggetions/help 333
Okay, So it's cheesy, I know.
I had planned on portraying Roy in a burning warzone, as decipted, he's set the entire city up in to flames and stuff.
The buildings were originally a stock photo of NYC that I completely raped and molested again and again. Then I colored it all black so they look like they're been charred like nuts.
All thet flames were created from scratch. I know it's alot. The flames probably took me the most time... >_> I duped alot of themm.. so yeahhhhhh... Roy's Finger is NOT A FIRE SWORD, it's a streak of flames.
I decided against text on the wall, since you can clearly see what's going on. Though I did give it a title on the bottom.
All this and a box of EDO crackers + 7 hours = This. 3333333333333
Ohhh Roy in all his hotness. I love the flames there very well done I can see how they would be hard to do. I love the way you did the sword that looks so cool. Man is it hot in here or is it just him. Lol. Thanks for shareing it. I love it. Great job. A+ and a fav!! (*^_^*).
That fire effect is horrendous, theres no sense of distance between the different levels of flames and it all just gets garbled up into one big mess. the filter you applied to the stock that i assumed you used makes it look corny and doesnt fit in with the texture of the scan. and in all honesty why bother using a stock to create those black blobs? you may as well have vector a solid black cityscape. anyways, just trying to give you a good critique on this. the concept is there and the composition is solid, just your lack of effort in the effects you used completely ruins it. my saying is, if you cant do it properly dont use it. do more practice runs with that effect. you got the smudging down pretty well but flames 5 ft away, and 100 ft away would look different which you didnt convey here. my eye does not get drawn into the back and there is no depth of field at all
Something seems to be off with the flames... I'm not one to judge the flames too much since I can't make flames myself, but I do find them a bit off somehow. I find the left flames looking better than those on the right. I'm not quite sure, but it looks like you were trying to motion blur that side a bit to upwards. I think if you made it sway more towards another direction it would have looked better. The idea of the wall isn't bad considering his element is fire when it comes to alchemy. That main flame really does look like a sword though ^^;;; I think you were trying to mkae it look like his finger streaking a flame right? Either way.. I also find that his hair colour blends too much with the burnt things. If you made the burnt things in the background with a tinge of oranges or red it wouldn't camouflage him too much... It's not too bad, but I wouldn't say it's your best works looking at your other entries.
Ya i like da fire background too. It is a great background for roy mustang. But the main ire from his hand does look like a sword. I think you should have kept it with his famous spark thing. But other then that great wallpaper.
