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 -_-"
@`akiranyo: for VD #4 it's monochrome scans right ? I wonder if it would be good idea to accept vector of monochrome scan not submited on AP. What do you think ?

"I must admit, I LOL'd at this.
I love the colors and texturing. Maybe try working with lines that match (all colored or all black) to make it flow better, because right now it looks kinda weird with the half black lines and half colored lines :3. I have to say that I would definitely fave this if you had done that (: Also, the flowers are gorgeous!
I see the pillow he's laying on, but he still seems to be at a weird angle lined with the wall with the window on it. Keep trying! :D" View

"The texture you put on the cloud stock doesn't match the style of the painting, the text that's overlayed randomly in the top right corner is hard to see and doesn't flow with the rest of the piece, and the extraction on the character/dog/sand dune needs some work. The idea behind it is definitely good, but maybe you should spend some time fine-tuning different aspects of your wallpapers.
Don't take this as a "shot at your pride" or anything, it's just the opinion of a few people who have been doing this for a really long time.
Here are some tips:
Sometimes it's hard to extract artwork because the line width varies, so if you lock the character layer you can paint in a little bit of the lining if it's missing (:
Never be afraid to make a wallpaper without text if the text doesn't seem to fit in correctly. It's always better to have a text-less wallpaper than ruin the flow of a good thing with text in a weird spot!" View

"The text is really neat, but something about the hair/face looks really weird; not that she doesn't have facial features - that's weird, but not the way I mean. I mean that the facial shape and hair [especially the bangs] just look really awkward. While the text is neat, it seems really small in relativity with the size of the whole image :x And the background single-tone paint splatters are kinda boring, but that's just my opinion. Maybe try working with different colors and types of brushes? :x

"You want comments? 'Kay. Here's what I think.
This entire wallpaper is too saturated. It's not "textured" or anything nice and artsy, it's just plain oversaturated. The character seems to be extremely low quality, as does the background. The background images are obviously stock with a texture overlayed onto them to make them look more anime-esque. Unfortunately, your plan seems to have backfired. Something about the texture on the stock images makes them look even more like low-quality photographs. In addition, the perspective of the ground and the character is more than a little off. The character has clearly been duplicated, blurred, and put on layer styles such as hard light, overlay, and multiply. While these are handy filters, the key is to use them in moderation. Going overboard makes the image look washed out and dark, not to mention fuzzy around the edges.
The idea behind it seems like it was a good start, but it's very basic and leaves much to be desired. Try adding more details and layers of action into your next wallpaper." View

So much emphasis is put on the scan/image now-a-days that a lot of backgrounds are really slipping in quality. It's not so much a whole piece of art anymore, it's like... putting the best things that you can in, whether they fit or not D:
