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!
"It's amazing, such colors and angles. Your concept is just perfect! The only thing I see is in their shoes the colors cut off a bit at the bottom. This is my favorite wall of the week. +fav from me!" View

"I see the angle you were going for with the intensity for the scan layer but in doing so you made the outlines jagged. Maybe try blurring one of it's layers possibly. The text sentence with the stroke, I'd say just remove the stroke style and turn the text to the color you used on the stroke. I love the background elements and color scheme. It brings it so much life and wow effects. Really draws in your attention. " View

"@ Horseradish, I think the lines on the character's body is the manga's artist way of showing shadows..??
I agree with them though. I recommend taking off the grain filter from the water, it doesn't match the style compared to the vector. Try maybe putting just one smaller Blur filter on the vector, to soften him up a bit. The big X is bad quality, try just typing it on bigger size. The white background needs to be filled with something. Maybe you can try to fill it in with some clouds or a far away beach scene. There should be some tutorials on Deviantart.com. Lookin good so far, can't wait to see it done! " View

"Nice concept, you've done a good job so far. I advice lowering the opacity of the red outer glow around the character a bit. And the flame render cuts off a lot, and the left corner you can see a erased streak. Maybe you can put your eraser on a medium sized brush and put it's opacity to 15% and gradually erase away the edges. This will hopefully blend the flame render to the background better. Good job, keep it up. ^-^" View

"Nice scan choice, but the scan needs to be extracted better. Maybe try duplicating the scan's layer and putting a blend mode on top to make the scan's colors not look so dull. The left side is very blank and empty. The text-texture at the bottom stands out to randomly, don't really think it's needed. I like how you did the ribbon as a bar across it, and the first letter a different color that's a nice touch. I like your idea I think you were going for. Good job, I'm sorry you're upset. I hope your day gets better *hugs hugs*. " View

"OMG take off the paint daub filter asap! It hurts my eyes >.<. It doesn't match the splatter you did on the right side (which is awesome by the way). The text is really cool. I like the background texture on the second choice better. Also try maybe taking off or lowering the opacity on the outer glow on the character. It makes him pop off the background to much, I think he would look sharper and better other way. Try using the scan of him, with no filters added. Duplicate the scan layer twice. Bottom scan layer use the Noise -> Median filter on him if you want a softer smudge look. On the top scan layer above that try putting it's opacity to 50% and see what you think? " View

"The scan is extracted very nicely. I recommend taking off the bigger scan versions of Ciel and Sebastian. They are poor quality and you'd be better off without them. The black brushes that repeat all over the corners I also suggest to remove them. Other than that it's lookin good, keep at it. ^-^" View

"I'm glad you took my advice about the roses. I love the dark roses at the bottom, the roses at the top left I think stand out to much. Maybe try making them darker, or making the background underneath that corner darker, with the light background and faded colors of the roses it sort of looks flat ya know? The roses to the right that oswari9 commented about are a bit bright maybe that's why oswari9 doesn't like them. Maybe if you try to give them a darker gradient on top of it it might seem to blend in better with the bottom roses. Looking good so far, don't give up! " View

Lovely quality, you did a great job cleaning up the scan. I agree though with the others, why is there a white film on it? It's not bad, but I don't see how it adds to it though. The characters seem overly shadowed a tad bit, but you did a good job on it. I love the details you added, the eyes are very pretty ^-^. " View

The scan is just so pretty, and I agree with you the text is a bit blurry. I think it's because you added a duplicate layer of the text like a shadow. Maybe if you turn the shadow to a white color, it will make the text not look so blurry and pop out at ya. I also suggest turning the font from green to blue, since the colors on the character's scan seem to sway towards the blue side. The textures are pretty and not to grungey at all, but the background still needs a bit more to it. Great job on the extraction, and fog on her. Keep up the good work. " View

The only thing that bothers me is the vector outlines on her bangs, like it draws my focus point there because it stands out. I love how you made the different colored shadows behind her and all.
