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!
Not thinking of the extent of movie fluff. I'm thinking to the extent of a common place thug. It is more the concept of preventing criminal stupidity from causing more proublems.
Song illustration #God-knows-which-and-I'm-too-lazy-to-count: Donna Lewis & Richard Marx - At The Beginning. The song is from the soundtrack of Anastasia and to me is the most romantic song ever written/sung. Period.
Widescreen version highly recommended; I had to squeeze the background in the other versions, so it looks quite distorted ._.
Let's just say I'm extremely happy I finished this. I've had the unfinished vector in my "Projects" folder for months (messed with the file so I don't know exactly how many, but it's safe to say I began it before November '08 ._.). Well, 2 days ago I got fed up with looking at it and decided to finish it (or delete it, whichever came first :D).
I had an idea for the background in mind, which was supposed to have them sitting somewhere between clouds and being surrounded by light blah blah, but now I'm in the mood for simple scenic walls so this is what you get At one point I even wanted to make a night version, but I scratched it because it meant extra work. If people want it, I'll do it though.
Speaking of the background, I never thought I could paint clouds that actually look like clouds :o I bet I'm not the only one surprised by this XD
OK, when the clouds were done I thought it looked too empty, so I though of adding some trees and bushes, but my first attempt at a tree failed miserably and I knew the bushes weren't gonna be prettier, so I gave up XP You get to have a simple scenic wall.
Love the background, and the clouds came out really well indeed =]
I wish I'd see this in Top Rated, it deserves it
Fave for sure, thank you for a lovely wall n_n
I really like this! Your clouds look great! I saw the tutorial some time ago but my clouds didn't look as good as yours
The background is good as it is... I'm glad you didn't put some trees XD
WOW
i love the background such a nice soft design and great work on the vector
also trees are hard to do, i failed to create one myself XD but its fine withour it
+fav
Clouds that look like clouds, now that's appealing! It has some nice soft colors going for it to go with such a tender moment. The colors are really nice, I think you did a good job harmonizing them, it looks really pretty.
Everything looks good, only thing that bothers me is the sun. Given the soft colors, the sun doesn't appear bright enough it seems. It looks like its just glowing. I also can't tell if it's sunrise or sunset either. But it feels wrong to say anything bad about this wallpaper since it looks so good.
Great transformation of the manga scan. It looks great :D I really like the glow you gave the two - very fitting for such a lovely scene. And nice choice of colors, they blend very well together~! ^^
I already told you what I thought about this wall on theO...and so yeah. Lol. I love your clouds so much. They're so pretty and cute~~~ And I loved your prior attempt at tree/bush. Hahahaha. I love it. XD
