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!
You know when you want to do two things at the same time but accedentally mixing them up? I just wanted to drink my cellphone and put my cup of tea to my ear -_-"
@`akiranyo: for VD #4 it's monochrome scans right ? I wonder if it would be good idea to accept vector of monochrome scan not submited on AP. What do you think ?
"Awesome! When you said you were going to wall this scan, I thought it was going to be a usual grunge one, but this is amazing! Everything looks so vivid and the colors set my monitor ablaze! ^^ Girl, you need to make a tutorial about how you make your walls! And the weeds (from our Oofuri collab) -I haven't forgotten about those (_/)..
It definitely has a +fav from me, keep up the great work! " View

"Oh, neat concept here, it looks very "fresh"! That's the best word to describe it. I like the fence-waves effect, interesting indeed, but my favorite part has to be the grunge effects, they really complete everything.
Overall, it's quite a beautiful wallpaper. I'd use it if I had a widescreen resolution but, alas, I can only comment, favorite it and save it to my computer. Keep up the great work! " View

"This wallpaper is seriously good. By the way, I haven't seen TDK, so I'm commenting solely on the artistic part. The vectoring is great and if you hadn't provided the scan I would've thought it was like that to begin with! This is a perfect way of showing the "Halloween spirit".
Well, everything has been said before, so I'll end this by thanking you for making this wall. Thank you XD And keep up the great work!" View

However, the only thing keeping me from having it on my desktop is the "Haruhi" writing. It just doesn't belong there and looks low-quality and effort >_> In my opinion, the wall would be better off without it.
The rest is good, though, I like how you blended Haruhi with the background and the flowers." View

At first I thought it was just some scan combined with a few bubble brushes (which didn't look that good either), but when I full-viewed it I completely changed my mind! The vectoring is perfect and I adore the way you combined the images.

"I have to confess I'm happy that you got addicted to Amatsuki, since it resulted in you making this lovely wallpaper! Just what I needed for my desktop~! And yes, widescreen is the best because more of the effects can be seen.
You had a lot of patience with the extraction, all the small details are difficult indeed!
What can I say, I love the grunginess! Though I can't help but want him to be a little more blended in with the background, especially the head area; he looks sharp and clean, while the background is kind of misty. Minor thing, though, it doesn't stand out too much ^_^

I like it a lot, if it weren't for him smoking (which is sexy! ), I'd put it as a desktop. My dad would freak out though, so I'll just settle for saving it and looking at it *.*
The atmosphere is a little creepy and warm at the same time, it's like he's in a park in late autumn. You know I love the trees and weeds you make

Yeah, shape layers can be pretty annoying when you want to outline, but I find them easier to manipulate. It does look better though, with outline it has a too "regular" look ._.
I'll have to agree with that, I'm lucky Ritsuka covers up half of the fence! I still think it's wobbly and will fall to its death when I turn my back on it Darn you, fence!
Ahem, of course I'm gonna fav it :3 Yet another great work from you, dear Kelsey! " View
