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!

"Mm, i remember this scene in the manga, i think. What would make this wall perfect for me is the removal of the ghosted manga images on the left and right in the white parts, and the softening of some of the edges of the vector(?). very cool otherwise." View

"As usual, i'm left wanting a little bit more from your wallpapers. i'm not really sure i like the drippy spoon-shaped objects on the gray rectangle; msotly because they're too blurry. i really, REALLY love the you did the text on in general on this wall, but especially on the "space cowboy" bar. However, as cool as the little bar there is, it's entirely detatched from the main part of the wallpaper.

a very emotional and dramatic wallpaper, i like. i just wish the text didn't go through his skin and was restricted to a background role. other than that.. quite moving. :O" View

"I agree with MinstrelKnight; i quite love this wall. the vector could use a LITTLE work on the curves, but a very cool wall. would be afave if the vector was under the texturing though - it'd add a sense of unity to the wall." View

"Judging this battle, this wall wasn't up-to-snuff with some of the other walls, especially those on your own team. Very cutely done, but the vector work is rough; a but on the character but mainly on things like details - the cake, the champage glass, etc. I get the impression this wasn't done for effect, either.
a very cute wall that has great potential, if one's skills are refined." View

"Easily one of the most amazing walls to come out of this battle.
the only gripe i had about it, when judging (OH THE JUDGES LOOK AT THEM COME OUT OF THE WOODWORKING XD) is that it didn't variate much from the original scan and was just a repainting. it was a fucking harsh AWESOME repainting though, so i couldn't not give it a +.
"I kind of thought this wall was boring when i was judging, so i gave it a minus :O the kino lover in me really WANTED to give this wall a +, but there just wasn't enough for me to chew on. the background was plain and a bit too blurry, and up against some of the other walls in the challenge, it failed to stand out."

basically the only thing i don't like in this wall is the periods. after. every. word. there's some jagged and funny looking edges here and there, but i don't have anywhere near the patience to do something like this myself, so it's all good. interesting wall and good concept." View
