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!
Wow i really like this, but i think you should remove the transparent face in the bg, that kind of mirroring is generally frowned upon ^^;
to fill up the bg and make it look like they are more underwater, you could add some bubbles
meanwhile, you might want to smudge the black parts of the coral a bit, they look jagged + pixelated
and if you really want to add the cherry on top, i would say to add some lighting in green or yellow colors to really bring the piece to life
nonetheless i think the foundation for this wall is very solid

This looks good. Although I think you could make it more obvious that they are underwater by adding more effects that would show this like bubbles, waves or even ripples.
The face in the background is not needed; the wall would be nice and simple/pleasing without it. Bubbles, fish, or plants/seaweed could be added to give the wall more realism and life.
This wall is very soft and scenic in a lovely way. I also agree that the silhouette of the face is not needed but I imagine its more of a personal artistic choice or something that compelled you to integrate it in from the series so that's alright :) Overall good wall~
I love this wallpaper! however, i do agree with everyone else that it would be so much better without the face in the background. it kinda ruins the mood and draws our attention away from marin and urin. it would be great if you could upload a faceless version. otherwise, awesome job.
This is very pretty, but i think you should have removed the translucent face in the bg and some lines are jaggy, but aside from that, it's still a great wall. keep up the good work!
I like your diffraction lines that help confirm that they are underwater. Personally I think a small school of fish would have been a nice touch. From a strictly artistic point of view I would agree with everyone else and say lose the face in the background. However, to commemorate the series, the face does depict the moment that Marin decides to go see the "sky people", which makes your title all the more appropriate.
