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!
I wanted to make a depthy wall, depthy walls with lots of sky and pretty clouds are win. Period. I tried a new style of making clouds. Mmmmmm clouds. *eats them* < 3333
The background is painted from scratch, the girl is re-cg'd from the original scan. Added a moon in there for you moon whore people. Yes, the glowing balls are fireflies... yeah I fail, lol.
The grass was a BETCH, seriously. I had to keep doing it over and over. And come to think of it, the clouds were too!

Thanks to my friends (you know who you are) for your help and support.

That's GLORIOUS. I love that grass, it just breathes life. The clouds are also magnificent...
I guess the only thing is I could use some more stars in that sky. It's a relatively clear night without a lot of lights to hinder it. But hell, I'm only jealous.
Great night sky scenic wall. The grass, the glows, the clouds... they're all so "in depth" as you said you were aiming for. The colors are very appeasing and the entire scene is great. You also made the background so full and fulfilled rather than empty and blank... you did a great job~
Wait...so the background was done from scratch?! Then I can only say, wow. :3
Did you use brushes for the clouds or did you draw by hand? 'Cause they look pretty great, the shades of color and the way they stretch towards the mountains.
The night scene is a nice fit for the scan you picked out. Only that I find the resolution of the scan a lot higher than that of the background portrait. And the girl looks somehow a little too bright in overall compared to the dim surroundings, hopefully you could adjust the lightings a little?
Still love it, though, I can so totally feel peace and serenity floating out of the picture. (The breeze and rustling grass? heehe) X3 And especially the little glows from the fireflies...
I liked the other version better that was bluer with the bellflowers. Why did you scrap that one? But I see you put in the needed moon here, so that's good. (Hey wait, why doesn't it look round? XP) I think this version is too monotone compared to the other one that had blues, greens, and purples. But in this one I like the fireflies (glowing spots?).
The background looks lovely considering how it's made from scratch. ;D
My only complaint about the wall would be the fireflies. It does'nt really look like fireflies. I think it'd be better if you mixed in some colors to it. Like first start with one blue circle, then over it place one smaller white circle. After that use the smudge tool and smudge it till it blends nicely to create a subtle bluish glow. You can apply another soft white circle in the middle to give it that extra glow. You can also use other colors such as orange and yellow like what i did in this wallpaper. Just try and experiment with the mixing of the colors to get that nice glow. Ouh and besides that, you may also wanna reduce the amount of big glowy fireflies. It kinda crams up the wallpaper. Try using many other variations of sizes for the fireflies. It'll look better. ;D
I'll give you fav for the lovely painted background though. ;D
Hm is this a newer one? I thought I saw this one before cause I have it.. well this one looks good also. I love the background its so peaceful and just simple. very nice wallpaper +fv
I think i liked first version more, cause it was more beautiful.
anyway this one is also great, especially the scenery, clouds,and grass :D
also excellent vector :D

This is absolutely gorgeous. If depth is what you were going for, you've certainly accomplished it by with the rolling grass and angle of perspective. The clouds and faint outline of the mountains in the background just add to the panorama.
Colour choice is beautiful as well, with the small glowing accents completing an already surreal scene. Great job on this, and I'm looking forward to seeing more from you!
You did a great job, the composition is balanced, and I like how Reimu stands out (in a positive way) with her red dress. And good job with the grass, I know what it means to manually paint each blade, it can be quite painful. :D
Just when I thought the zombie is finally dead, you brought her back!

Nah, the wall is awesome, love your Hotaru idea, the whole wall background gives off much needed space, and it is certainly much better than I expected when used.
LATE RESPONSE, yeah yeah, blah blah. I commented! That's more than enough! Hush catwoman! D8
Anyway, back to the wall. Like I've mentioned before, I really love the whole scenic view and I also love the fireflies at the bottom but the winner here really are the clouds. They are just the smex. Gimme more clouds! D=
Moving back on topic, awesome wall by an awesome waller. FAVEEEEEEEEEEES
Hey, resubmission yay! I think I said before how beautiful this was...well, still is. Very lovely painting and vectoring and whatnot! I love the fireflies. ^_^ It's such a beautiful scene...so tranquil, and yay for Touhou. *faves* Nice job!

love the moon, somehow having a big bright circle right smack in the middle of the night gets a bit old after a while, and the grass definitely rocks!
