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 -_-"
after submitting my previous wallpaper I had such a feedback from everyone that I decided to give it a second go. So here is my second wallpaper. It's a vector version of a scan from Bakuman, the new manga mades by the authors of Death Note:
I extended a bit on all side played with the colors and added a vector of a page of Trap. It's not complete since it's being draw by Saiko. The title is a (bad ?) pun on the verb draw. It take me long time to vector it entirely but I am pleased with the result ^^ I hope you like it even if it's not the same kind of the previous one.
SPOILER (click to view)
How it's done:
I done the outline first then I done the patterns (it makes Inkscape crash frequently, it's a pain) and finally I done the colors. the svg file weight 5,5mo. It's a lot more than usually because of all the dots (I forget to make clone and not duplicate ^^')
1st revision: I add 4/3 and 5/4 resolutions. They are extended a little on the top and the bottom and cropped on the left.
2nd revision: Tried to upload a new revision but screwed up I think X)
3rd revision: Ok I try something different for the blue on the clothes. I make shading with points. The result is better than before I think. Thank you to have pointed out this problem. After a little reflexion (ok 2 seconds). I also realise that it was out of the place so here the revision. For those who like the blue or want to see what it was like here the 1st revision:
Arg it seems like the revision didn't take effect appart from the thumbs... I might be cursed with revisions X)
4th revision: [stroke]Still doesn't work... The revision system hates me X)
5th revision: Didn't work at first but in fact it worked... I cleared my cache and all but seems like it needed more time to work. Anyway enjoy the new revision ^^
I only can say "wawwwwww" you made a marvelous creation my friend, you're the best Vector-maker I know, If only I can give to this paper 100 +FAV!It's a really nice master-chief, I also like what you added to the white paper. Nice!+FAV

I really love the colors on this and its really a great scan to choose.
the only thing that i would say is that the painting on his clothing seems rather last minute and messy--it would have looked much better flat with cellshading which fits your theme
also i think the background would have looked great with some more colored stripes >3
I am huge fan of Bakuman, and I wanted to do smth with this scan, but you done GREAT job on this wall.
Vector is nicely done. As I see from process it is Inkscape.
I agree with vita, maybe sharp shades as in hair will be better but anyway I don't pay much attantion at it, so this is instant fav!
SUPER!

Crazy, that's awesome!
There are so many details, I dunno where to look first.
I think that instead of painting you should've cell shaded the whole thing.
Oh who cares, it's really amazing, I love all that craziness < 3
