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!
Please fullview 2048x1536!
I always suprise myself how a difficult and big vector I can select from the gallery. This time going with the less known Simoun anime, one of my secret favorites. Ok, so as I mentioned, they are completly vectored, and it taked 2189 shapes to finish it as is now. Used time for vectoring is near 28 hours, and will be also submitted as PNG vector. Due the focusing on the characters and being low in workspace, I made just a simple sky background.
And before you say that they are a bit real looking, WATCH THE ANIME. The clouds there are quite real looking, due that has a lot of dogfights with aircrafts and very detailed animation.
Added a text and used on it glowing edges + radial blur to create sunray effect. Applied additional light on characters with soft-edge brush and with motion blur on the BG. About the title, Ri Majoon is the secret technique of the aircrats by our heroes. Unfortunately no widescreen version, crop it when you want.

Wow, you've really outdone yourself with this vector! You really have a lot of patience to make more than 2000 shape layers...respect! *tips hat*
I really like the easy-going summer atmosphere and I think the letters created to resemble clouds are very cute. Awesome work, Aki! Me likes it a lot! :)
It's very eye-catching and pleasing to the eyes. :)
I really like it! :D
*though I couldn't understand the last word of the text in the wall at first. haha xD
Though the cloud brush i found for you is appropriate for the style, it needed some refining to work. as is the sky doesn't fit, the characters look flat against it. it's more of a perspective issue than anything else. the clouds are made to be used from more of a side view, not looking up, as they are.
what you need to do, is sample a color of the sky from another scan from the series, cuz, i may be mistaken, but the color you have here is lighter than you would generally see in the anime. either way, it seems too light. then you need to rework the shading of the clouds so they look like they are being viewed on from the bottom more. and try not to have big white fluffy clouds at the very bottom, as they are. for a good reference, go outside on a partly cloudy day with a friend, and take a picture of them from the same angle that this is viewed in. then adjust your sky accordingly.
Like what you said, the anime is not so popular and I don't know it. But the vector really catches my eyes. It's really smooth and detailed, and I think 28 hours worth of time paid off. The sky BG is simple yet nice to look at. Nice one!~
28 hours of vectoring...
You have all my respect, man ;)
The vector is as brilliant as always, definitely 10 times better than the original scan.
I never get tired of your vector walls, aki, and this one is no exception.

Your vector tracing is great, aki, but I think you need to focus on your backgrounds a little more, too, ya know~! :3

Probably one of the worlds most patient individuals...Yah I'm not super patient... but because of your inspiration I challenge myself.
Anyway back to Aki's wallpaper...The more you do the more I am astounded especially by the quality. The colors are very clear and concise...

The background is good as it is. No need for anything more than clouds.
It's nice to see a Simoun wallpaper \o/
