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!
"=3 I dunno if I'll be of much help to you, but if it's an image that you want to add onto a sort of woody background, like what you've started doing, I'd maybe tear the edges of the scan a bit, burn it here and there (maybe), fade it a little, add some light & shadow so that it's got a more 3D look to it, etc. It's become a pretty popular look among Naruto wallers (images on old paper and what not) and it tends to work well. You seem like you're going for an aged effect since the scan is so yellow, that's the only reason why I suggest giving it a worn look.
Like Huarru said, there are other similar walls you can look at in the gallery for some more ideas. I wouldn't recommend adding text to it at this point though." View

" Love the concept here! I don't normally comment on walls but yours looked so pretty as a mini, I had to come say something about it. xD
The textures and color scheme you went with are awesome, but Ed stands out from the background a little too much for me. It feels like he needs a little more blending in, ya know? Nonetheless, it's an awesome wall & deserves some commenty-goodness. Good job! " View
