"Nice vectoring, very smooth lines, and it's one of my favourite scenes. I think you could colour the outlines in some tones closer to the colour of the respective object - brownish for skin, reddish for that pink shirt and so on; and most importantly, the bruises and cuts on the skin and the outline of the tears and of the sweat spots shouldn't be black, they distract a bit too much. One more thing, you could try to make the upper part of the iris darker in colour.
Oh, and could you upload a bigger resolution? pleeeasee

"Really nice choice of colours and brushes; the 'old paper' feel does seem to match the matsuri theme; the one thing that seems a bit unfit is the vertical line that comes out of Kanda's head; also, the horizontal line of allen's shoulder [on the left side of the wallpaper] is a little to strong and straight [and is even more emphasized by the title placement. Other than that, very nice wallpaper, original idea and colours; thanks for sharing it and waiting for more. fav+" View

"Interesting idea to make the outline white, it does draw attention to the metalic arm in an original way. The trousers are the only thing that look a bit odd; right now they look more like a skirt, so maybe some strategic outlines on them could do the trick...
Other than that, great wallpaper, will fav for sure.
Maybe you could upload a version without text... please? " View

"I was hoping someone would make a wall out of this image; I like how you kept the feeling of the original image; the only thing that bothers me a little is the place where his hand meets his sleeve: the sleeve bumps a little, and so does the arm! why? It's obvious that his arm doesn't bend like that, if you look at it as a whole. You could straighten the outline of his arm in that place. Other than that, good job." View

"I've seen this image walled before, but this one really does it justice. The 'old' feel of the outline, the colour and the texture over the skin and the flowers in her hair blend in very nice. I'm not sure what to say about the little stars around her hair and I kind of wished the background looked a bit more desaturated and with the same 'old' feel to it... something like a cracked wall, or a stainded surface rather than the white lines in the right side... Other than that, it looks perfect; too bad it's not a higher res." View

"Very nice image, I like the toned down colours and the texture. Imho, you could lighten up a little the outline of the background objects [or the whole background, only a little, and a bit more on the right side], to add a bit of depth, and for the same purpose you could add some sort of depth of field blur over the background in the right side [since it's farther away from the camera]. It would make the character stand out more from the background. Other than that, great work, the vector looks pretty smooth. Oh, and perhaps the character's outline could be coloured according to the colour of the object: brownish for skin, dark blue for dress, blueish for wings and some other colour for hair; just a thought, though. Thanks for making this wallie, +fav" View

"I like the choice of colours and the fact that the background has the outlines in a lighter colour than the characters. It makes them stand out. The aging effect really gives the image personality, although the bright red abd the purple eyes kind of contrast the 'oldness' [in a good way]. The only thing that bothers me a little is the way some of the shadows on the characters look: a bit blurry and murky [specially on the girl]. They don't look like they're painted and they don't look cell-shaded and this leaves the watcher a bit confused; I'd say they look like made with the burning tool in photoshop. But maybe that's just me. Anyway, all in all, it's a really good wallpaper, thanks for sharing it! " View

"You surely put some work into it. You could try some noise/ graininess for the dust, to add more substance to it [look at Gaara [Naruto] wallpapers for some examples]. Very nice touch with the rays of light in the background that follow the same diagonal movement as the character's arm. The sky could also be saturated a little and given more volume. A nice trick would be to curve the line of the sky [the clouds], because this would give the image a more dynamic look. Right now the clouds are just plain horizontal. Also, giving the clouds 'closer' to the character more contrast, a bit of texture and making them a bit bigger and more saturated would improve the overall aspect.
Something to consider about Ichigo's skin is that when the light color of the skin meets the shadowed one, that particular area is more saturated in color. This will give the skin a more natural look. Also, the light part of the skin is of a warmer tone [red-orange-yellow], while the shadowed skin is of a colder tone [slightly more purplish/bluish].
Anyway, it's a very nice piece of work, so keep them coming! " View

"You could move the character a bit higher.
Now, about the grass. Its colour doesn't really fit with the rest. You could even do it parchment-coloured and -textured, to keep the book-like feeling of the wallpaper [something Okami-style]. anyway, a warm tone, not that cold green. I like the depth-of-field effect you gave the grass by blurring it. If you want to give it even more depth, you could darken the leaves of grass that are closer to the watcher. Not with a soft brush, because it wouldn't fit with the rest. something like individual layers of grass that keep darkening as they are closer [I seem to be lacking somewhat in my coherence today...]. And lighten the grass in the distance [you can also blurr that one, as well. Just make sure the grass is clear at the distance where the character is]. Also, try to vary the grass in the distance, it looks too 'photoshop preset' and it kind of roins the rest of your hard work. You could also give a contrasting texture to that scarf-thing [while keeping its gradient]. Also, I keep picturing the image as the image on an unrolled scroll [because of the diagonal placement], so you could add some borders or models or lines along the scroll's sides. About textures, I'm thinking naruto-related symbols/ origami paper patterns.
Or you can just igonore all my rambling and do something way cooler than that. Can't wait to see it finished! " View

"Maaan, you sure like to vector if you managed to do all those buildings, AND keep your sanity. I really like the result, and the colours remind me of a warm summer day. The only thing that could have been experimented with, is the colour of the buildings in the background; since they are as clear and as saturated as the main characters, when they overlap, the legs kind of blend in. Maybe some blue haze over the buildings to give the illusion of depth could have worked [a coloured layer of some sort]. Nevertheless, the wallpaper looks great, thanks for sharing, +fav." View
