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!
*nod* You really, really need to get a better scan of Moka. Seriously the one you have is really bad. Beyond that I would recommend creating a 1920x1600 paper as all new macs are wide screen. ^_^
The picture of moka needs to be cleaned up. its too rough. and iunno if its just me but the font of her name isnt working for me. especially if its going to be on the mac wall.
Sure, the mac wallpaper alone may look beautiful but when you put the scan it seems off. They don't mix well; they go together. What comes to mind when I see this picture is that she's floating in space.
The render is very crappy, and in my opinion is unrealistic that a schoolgirl vampire floats in the space on a rock. We create artistic walls here on AP, not "put a render to any background and call it a art" ones.
The scan is lovely, but don't fit the BG. You should change the BG, ut's too simple and the design don't make the whole harmonious... It's too different, so strange.
You should improve the scan of Moka, increase the quality by vectoring it.
Good luck!
Definetly think that the wallpaper background over powers Moka. You need a bigger and brighter shot of her if you want her to stand out.
I'm not really getting the colours either...I think the purple is way too much.
I don't know. Honestly, I don't like the background at all. I'd go with a scrapbook kinda background if I were you. I like the scan you're using, just clean it up a bit and add more interest to the wallpaper.

Also, the scan needs to be cleaner
Life is but a momentary glimpse of the wonder of this astonishing universe, and it is sad to see so many dreaming it away on spiritual fantasy.

Which means she'd have to be dead.
