"Okami is an extremely hard series to vector considering it's watercolor style, which I why I personally choose painting when working on Okami walls/vectors. To see someone actually accomplish a decent Okami vector and still have it fit the mood of the series is not a feat to be taken lightly. Coming from someone who knows how difficult it can be to work with the style, I applaud your ability to overcome that obstacle.
One thing does stick out to me though, the dog/wolf with purple hues in its fur isn't proportioned correctly, based on the wall's overall perspective. It doesn't feel as if the creature is making contact with the ground. I'm not sure what it is exactly but something is off there." View

"Despite my strong dislike of Sasuke, this is a very pretty wall. It's often quite difficult to work a stock image into an anime wall and make it seem natural but you're one of the few who have managed to pull it off for the most part. The flowers in the foreground, while their color and lighting does fit the rest of the wall, however, seem too realistic compared to the background. I would also get rid of the text, it's unnecessary and distracting.
All-in-all very good job in creating a wall with a bright yet soft background that's soothing rather than overwhelming." View

"I'm sorry, have I failed to comment on this wall until now? *beats self for waiting this long*
Will you be my painting buddy? Seeing as we've both expressed our frustration and hatred over vectors and how they can go die a slow and painful death!
I don't know what I can say about this wall that hasn't already been re-hashed countless times. For the second time you've taken one of my favorite manga series and created a wall that not only reflects the atmosphere of the manga but carries its own individuality. In the end, I really don't know what to say except that I'm ecstatic to finally see another wall from you and hope you will grace us with more in the future!

I'd like to see more from you in the future, please don't go on another hiatus anytime soon! +fav" View

"I know your looking for a chaotic feel, but that doesn't mean it isn't impossible to give it rhyme or reason. A good chaos wall, despite the theme, flows together while your wall feels much more random and choppy. The colors should also flow, the green bubbles are clashing with the rest of the wall. Overall I'd retry the background keeping the idea of "flow" at the forefront, as well as color scheme." View

"Before you do anything you need to go back and re-extract the original scan. It looks as if the original image was on a white background (I can tell by the pixels you missed) so place a black layer right beneath the original scan before you start to cut. That way you can get a clean extract without missing pixels since any leftover will be very obvious against a dark background.
Also, did you blur some parts of the scan and not others? The hands in particular look strange as they are very blurry in the center but sharp on the edges. You lose any balance the image may have, so make sure that the scan flows. Plus if you need to enhance the quality shrink the wallpaper before messing with the scan too much. 1600x1200 is the max and one wall size smaller is still going to fit on a lot of monitors." View

Blood+ is a series filled with chaos and to see such a display of calm and relaxation is rare indeed. Your choice of colors is what really sells this wall, they're bright but not blinding and set the mood perfectly. I also love the detail, especially on the hair. I've done that before so I can feel your pain (literally) and that you painted this entire wall with a mouse is impressive.
I'm a huge Blood+ fangirl so I'm always excited to see new, excellent wallpapers in this section. I hope to see more like this from you in the future! +fav" View

Finally a new wall from you! I must admit, everytime you post a new one I fall in love with your simplistic style all over again. Just goes to show that complexity doesn't ensure a good wall, it does take some brilliance to make an effective and creative simple wall. In any case, it'd be hypocritical of me not to add this to my favorites." View

"I'm sure vectoring the character took a while, but it still needs a lot of work. It's jagged and blurry, and it's hard to make out the character. I would take a look at some vectoring tutorials, or head over to the vectorness group here in AP to see if they can offer you any advice." View

"Yes, but it's too simple. As if you just slapped a scan over a plain, texture background and some text. It doesn't convey anything, or at the very least it's the base for a wall, not necessarily AP wallpaper material in itself. My advice would be to add some sort of design right behind the character, take a look at a few, high rated, simple walls to get a few ideas on what you could do as far as a design goes. Also, I'm not liking the current purple background, wait until you're farther along with the overall idea and execution of the main focus before working on the background. I'd get rid of it for now and come back to it later." View
