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!
Hi there Mysticmom2 :). I didn't know that you said hi when had I posted my previous comment, sorry ;). Sakiera. I guess it's really harder than it looks huh(?). Well, take a little break from the wallpaper for now. Unless it's for a contest.
"Haha I like it! The text and the image you used match perfectly. Awesome brushing, really complements the background well. Nice job!" View

Hey asa!! Awesome wallpaper. The eye is INCREDIBLE. Really interesting how you're able to get the focus of the wall on such a small, but incredibly significant detail. Great job with that!! Great job with the vector of the hair too...the time and effort really shows. Thanks for sharing!" View

"The wounded warrior? I'm sorry, but that text doesn't really seem to relate to the rest of the wall at all...and the font you used, and how it matches "Hatake Kakshi" EXACTLY is really distracting too...consider using another font, and changing the placement of the text more. The typesetting is rather poor, actually. Sorry. The background is nice, but enlarging kakashi's face that much makes it really low resolution and pixellated...would definitely suggest cleaning that up. " View

"How many images do you have in here? 8? Jeezus christ it's WAAYYYY too crowded. And Don Kanoji's head is floating. Massive o.O Pick on of the pictures and focus on it. There is absolutely no focus or flow to this wall at all. And, from what I can see, the texture in the background is made up simply of the super-low opacity pictures you've placed there. No texture, no focus, no flow...pretty poor composition, overall. " View

"It's really, REALLY unclear...what's going on in this? All the texture and blur and everything overlayed on Anemone makes it really hard to see any sort of focus or flow. Anemone definitely needs to be brought up from behind all that because right now, she's COMPLETELY blended into the background. More contrast in the background is necessary, and more focused flow. Ummm yeah, this just look filtered to hell. Sorry. " View

"I think the vector looks great, but the leaves could definitely use some more texture. Not necessarily blurry...just thinking finding a texture of granite or something, and overlaying it on top at a really really low opacity...or something. lol i'll trust you to make it look good. But yeah...thinking it could use more texture.
Of course, my idea could be completely wack, but just see if it works or not. I think it's fine without text. You've filled up the wall enough with the characters.
and lol I just noticed how Haruhi doesn't really have shadows, except around her legs, except they're in the opposite direction as the shadows cast by Yumi and Mikuru. XD" View

"You could try vectoring it. Doesn't look like it'd be too difficult of a vector, sice there's not many details. The colors should be darker, with a higher contrast too...right now, it's kind of plain.
