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!
Well, I fell in love with the scan of Raven so I decided to wall it. I vectored the character (well, the lines at least) and then painted him and shaded him. I added the background behind him (the weird rocks, clouds and rain) and blurred it all a bit to make him stand out a bit more. Then I adjusted the color levels on him to mach the BG more, added a few grunge brushes, text and that was it. :3
Widescreen looks better, though. XD
Hope you like! Constructive criticism, comments and faves are as always appreciated. :P
The title is 'Desolate' but I was listening to a song called 'Passive' by A Perfect Circle and it just seemed right, too.

This is a wallpaper that should be seen in its fullness.
GREAT JOB vectoring, cleaning, shading...
At first, I was like, "it's a bit... lacking" but as I thought about it more, I realized that the reason why it felt "lacking" was because it was meant to feel that way. He's DESOLATE, after all, right? Which is why this is so perfect.
Plus I adore Raven so...
