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!
You know when you want to do two things at the same time but accedentally mixing them up? I just wanted to drink my cellphone and put my cup of tea to my ear -_-"
Great job on your first wallpaper for animepaper. I really like the roses and the butterfly. Lenalee looks really good. Good job on the colors and background.
Wow,,, georgeous, this pic from a G-grayman Calendar looks great to be a wall, i love this character and the color you used to make the background, the man chara alineation is right and dont cover the desktop icons, details like flowers in first plain makes a better perspective to the wall, and it's the diference betwen professional art and amateur.

I remember I tried to vector the same scan... over a year ago lol. It's nice to see it traced by someone that has good vectoring skills. It's one of the few scans where Lenalee/Rinali looks most delicious.
I just wish the wall had more hard edges with the lighting to match her through.
The vector is really nice,even though I'm not a fan of Leenalee...
But,I do think you should make those dissolves a little softer,they are too sharp compared to the rest of the wall...Also,the butterflies need some variety,they are all the same,maybe get rid of the smaller ones and leave just the big one :)
I admire those flowers of yours though,and I hope you will make more walls soon XD

I don't watch the anime, but the wallpaper is amazing: clean vector, nice colors (except her very shoes - they might have been better off being a tid darker) and nice special effects.
I also like the sky. I am sure I can see your amazing efforts and therefore a +fav from me :).
but the characters colors are too warm for the setting. drop the saturation a bit on her, and adjust the tones with the color balance (Ctrl + B / command + B on Mac). move the sliders to the cool tones, i think they are all to the right. anything with more of the red primary is a warm tone. they don't need adjusted a lot, but they do need adjusted. last thing to consider is adjusting the levels, to make the whites less intense, or the overall brightness of the character.
she looks like she's in a soft lit room, which is too much light for this wall.
I like that scenery a lot there!
especially the flowers and innocence
however i wish you made a flower field instead of grass field
and less of those white dot stars in the bg
oh ya and the white moon glow is a little awkward IMO green might have been better
i think this wall was really worth your time though
everything got through clearly

I love the girl and the flowers, but the butterflies/moths and the sky look somewhat unnatural; the butterflies/moths b/c they all look the same and the sky b/c of the white dots for the stars. Maybe for the stars you can add a little glow? And add some clouds; the sort of misty ones you have don't really look like clouds. And as for the butterflies, you can probably find some stocks for the same butterfly from different angles.
The moon looks awkward due to the high contrast and sharpness of everything else around, other than that I like it. Starbursts, roses, butterfly, and her innocence effect on the boot looks great.
Hmmm... Interesting... First congratulation in your first wall, and i know the difficulties of trying to use illustrator, but i actually feel that the only thing that you did or use it's those roses, and almost all the wall were made in photoshop... actually the only thing that i really like to view it's more depth in the scenery... Well... Keep them going! :D
Nice job for your first wall the vector is very clean. Two quick things to work on for next time. Number one, perspective, it kinda looks like she is floating and the size of all the different elements don't quite match up. Number two, focal point, putting your character smack dab in the middle of a wall is not the best place. Anyway, besides that you did a really great job especially since this is your first wall :D

If that's our destiny,then we can't fight it.
We follow a path we cannot see and what it leads us to is the conclusion to our lives.
well done.
