After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!
There was a time, years ago, when grunge wallpapers used to be your everyday fix at many communities, AP included. Then vectors, the clean ones, started getting the spotlight and the grunge "movement" slowly started to fade. Now that vectoring has become an everyday fix as well, people have started to experiment with them.
But it's been a while since I've seen someone actually trying to portray a grunge wallpaper by also including vectoring techniques in the process as well. Nysha's wallpaper is a fine one which manages to combine both styles and gives a "retro" feelings reminiscent of the days when this style used to be very common and appreciated among wallpaper makers. Moreover, the style perfectly fits the theme of the show and of its character as well, with its perfect choice of colors and the right balance between them.
So there you have it, a fine piece of grunge art. If you feel like discovering this genre (or re-discovering it), give it a look, and you might as well check out the awesome show that Kara no Kyoukai is!
Hi all! I just watched some of Kara no Kyoukai and liked it enough to want to wall something from it. I originally wanted to make one of Shiki in some bamboo, but I was browsing through Minitokyo and found this scan: http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/347113 Edit: Thank you Chibi-Chibi for uploading the scan!
It reminded me of my "Libera Me..." wall, so I figured I could make a red wall in a similar style for kicks. XP
Oh, full view is recommended since the thumbnail looks like crap...
The character is Fujino from the third movie. She has the ability to twist (at least in my fansubbed version - thanks for the info, Deto) anything (usually people's body parts XD) with her mind, and the red and green "ribbons" are visualizations of that power. Her eyes also change when she uses the power. Reference for some of the "ribbons" from this scan:
The wall is a Photoshop vector/tablet painting combo. See process here:
Yeah, I know the composition/style/whatever isn't all that original, but it was fun making it, especially with all the colors I used. :) Yay for colors!
Time taken: 3 days
Only default brushes used.

Amazing work from you as usual!
i like the text version better personally =D
even after looking the the process it still amazes me
it's walls like this that makes me wanna kno what the anime's about
a fav of course
Great wall.
I love Kara no Kyoukai (not enough walls of this awesome anime)
and I love the way you represented Fujino in your wall.
Great work with the coloring and the background too, the color you used
really fits her for some reasons ^_^
I'm completely amazed of this wonderful piece of beauty and awesomeness~. I mean look at those colors and that vector plus painting work, it is fabulous how you made this combination of effects, all the essence of Kara No Kyoukai is present in this unique wallpaper. Keep up doin' such beautiful walls, and thank you a lot for sharin' this one. Instant favorite~
Love the colours and the grungy background >3 Only the ribbons of power seem a little odd to me, maybe they will look better with similar brushwork and smudging you used on the background.
But heck, the wallpaper already looks so good, it's a fave~
Great work again :3
3rd chapter is my favorite so far :3
To be honest title doesn't work for me wll because I've been watching that chapter like dozen times and in my release it's translted as "bend" X3 (and she actually say something like "amare")
Very nice background and painting :)
btw, 5th episode DVD realease is tomorrow
Wow,amazing work...I love the colors of it,you would think they would never blend good with each other...and in this case,they did,perfectly...
Fantastic work!
A very interesting (and pretty) use of colors here - the wall looks simple but because of the color composition, it gives him a kind of a deeper impression. The simple BG is also a big plus since the emphasis is on the girl. Lovely work! :)
