typography is my monster
What monster? The typography was already pretty good when I last saw it, especially the verse at bottom left; and you've managed to fix the minor issues that remained, now the typography generally blends into the background where it should and stands out only where necessary. Imho you just need more confidence when trying out these new artistic ideas, you have a good sense and just need to give yourself a chance to do it right. No monsters!
Sneaky attempt at hiding your sig in the background is not subtle enough! =3
"Just gonna repeat myself and say how much I love that concept, how you took the three insets and broke them up, and putting Konata in a frame like that too. A nice clean elegant wallpaper design. that works perfectly with the no-outlines style.
I like it better with text, but the "REMIX" text is a little too strong for my liking, I feel it could be smaller/lighter, but that's just my own preference I guess.
FTW. It's simply amazing what you did with just the screencap, there's a ton of effort there, especially the lighting improvements, which are a simply brilliant touch. I'm just sitting here and staring at the sunlight streaming in and the gradient on her hair... sugoi.
I had to rearrange my desktop icons just so I could use this. >_< なんでやねん！ =Þ

"Another amazing wall from a challenge that has produced some truly stunning stuff. Never mind the challenge rules, it's a very well exected piece and that's that.
Totally less-than-three the underwater setting, it's just perfect for the scan. Only nitpick is that the air bubbles at the sides are a bit distracting, being so sharp and clear - could have been "pushed" into the background with some trasnparency and blurring.
"Your vector work is immaculate, as usual. I like those transparent white strands in the hair, were those in the original scan? It's a nice touch.
Great job and gratz for the win!
Go team! (I'm so useless, I didn't even manage to critique the WIPs. >_< )" View

"This challenge turned out a whole bunch of good walls! This is no exception, it's wicked good. I can't get over the tree, it's amazing (because I fail at painting cherry blossoms XÞ). The vector is solidly done - this quality in just two days, that's something I couldn't hope to achieve either.
If I had to find something to nitpick, the fill on Aoi's face seems a bit blotchy, not really in agreement with the lighting in general.
Great job and gratz on the win. (Sorry I'm so useless lol)" View

I salute your push to raise awareness of such international issues, we really need a lot more of such things and people everywhere to petition their governments and leaders to take action on it. The Darfur problem has been simmering for so long and yet it is such a real shame that there is not enough real effort to put a stop to the atrocities and suffering there. And not just Darfur but also a whole host of other problems across the world.
On the wallpaper, it's a clean, excellent design that really fits the message it carries.
I look forward to the enhanced version with background, the design idea sounds very apt and suitable and I am sure it will be an excellent wallpaper." View

That is sheer, sheer excellence. All that detail, especially the birds and vegetation, is simply astounding. And as usual, flowers ftw. =Þ
It's near perfection, but you know I must always nitpick about something... I guess imho you could try to blur the clouds some more, to make the edges softer and fluffier. But like I said, that's a nitpick.

"Agree with Felesya on the flames - the wisps of "torch" power-of-existence fire at top left are pretty neat, but much work still needed on the rest of it - especially the real fire flames at the right, those little wisps at top just don't work for me.
I love the concept and the work you did from the sketch to coloring in, but imho the background doesn't do it justice. I'd definitely suggest trying to improve on it because I think it would look much nicer if the flames were done better.
Another thing; I can appreciate that you're trying to depict their actual height, but I agree with kird that perhaps matching the two sides more symmetrical might look better.
