After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!
"It's awesome to see Range Murata's work vectorized so awesomely. Sorry. I tend to use the word "awesome" quite liberally, but it really applies here. You preserve most of the softness of Murata's works very well with the gradients, and even though she looks a bit scarier in vector form compared to the scan, overall you did a very nice job. And I see you went with the butterfly too :) +fav" View

"Got enough vector shapes xD? Awe-inspiring vectoring, as usual. And major props for making this original piece of art. It's just the dark atmosphere and the way that her eye just pops out at you that makes me think that this is a bit more scary than beautiful. With all the blues and grays, it kinda looks like she's a zombie.
"Dang. I also remember back when tech lines were awesome. That was so long ago o_o Makes me feel old lol.
The scan cleaning that you did really makes this wall alot better compared to the old one. Now it matches the crazy-awesome abstract bg that you made. +fav for nostalgia and abstract awesomeness =P" View

"The awesome bg makes me wish that the anime scan you used wasn't so grainy >_> There's no doubt that your space backgrounds are amazing and well-detailed. In addition, your expert use of perspective is really something too. But the low-quality anime scan that you picked for this wall is a bit disappointing.
With such a high quality bg, you really need a high quality, crisp scan or vector. Keep that in mind next time. Otherwise, nice work :)" View

"With an original composition like this, it's harder to critique things because much of the magic in sketches and the such are captured by perspective and composition. The colors are fine here, as are the textures. The thing that makes this wall not reach its full potential is that you picked an overhead perspective, which is actually fairly over-done because of its simplicity.
The perspective isn't exactly something that's fixable, so it's really no fault of yours. Rather, when composing a work like this, try to focus on creating things from a perspective that isnt' used too often. For instance, instead of a top-down view, a lower first-person view would work to emphasize the depth of your work. In addition, with a lower perspective it's easier to add dynamic lighting and shadow, which add a magic to art that I'm sure you're familiar with.
So that's my critique :) Hopefully that gave you something to think about. Otherwise, it's another very touching piece of art from you that's filled with emotion and passion. Great work ^^ +fav" View

You're definitely got the technical aspects down. Now you need to master the design aspects. This wall is very well made, but there's a lot of empty white space that distracts the eyes. Focusing the viewpoint on the characters through making them more vibrant, repositioning the trees, or adding some bushes to emphasize the couple would have definitely made this wallpaper more memorable.
Great work with the wall ^^ The atmosphere is spot-on. All you need now is to master perspective and viewpoint. My advice is to look at photographs, and see how the photographers shape the photos through focus and position. +fav" View

I see your wall came out very nicely, even if you don't think so :) Even though you didn't create the drawing that you wanted, the end result is a very nice and colorful piece of art from you. The eyes have a lot of depth and detail to them, and the lighting texture in the skin and hair is superb. The shine from the lighting in the hair is something I'm particularly fond of :)

Nice work. Style points for keeping everything nice and soft, though the outlines are a bit jaggedy and sharp, which kinda undercuts the soft colors and theme. Overall though, awesome work. Count me impressed.
"I've been waiting to see a good Odin Sphere wallpaper (the art in that game is amazing), and I guess I can stop waiting :) I'm actually disappointed that you used the clone and brush for the whole wall, and it is noticeable in a few places. But otherwise, you have made a very solid wall. You did a very nice job blending in the clouds and the sky, which i commend you for.
The clone tool can only get you so far, I should know since I used to spam it on my first walls :) Hopefully you'll make some more walls that really show off your artistic vision and skills. I'll be looking forward to them. But for now, nice work." View

You definitely have a undeniably awesome talent at vectoring artwork that normal wallers wouldn't even consider vectoring. You somehow take the soft, very smooth scan and give it your own vector magic. And the outcome is amazing. The background supports and contrasts the bright and vivid vector well, though I do get the feeling that during the making of the bg you decided to go with something tried and proven rather than something new and exciting.
