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 -_-"
"Wow this is not like your previous works at all - totally new style I like it!
I have slight suspicion this might work better in portrait orientation, but I really like the 'chaos' feel to it, the text, colours and the girl vector.
Overall, great abstract wall, and congrats for finding a new style of walling :)" View

"This is such a lovely wall, great outcome!
Somehow gives me a melancholic vintage kinda feel, maybe because of the 'dirty dabbing' and the duller cream and green colours. Love the small vector things, makes it more interesting and adds depth. The text is slightly too close to the edge but that's a minor issue given such a lovely wall - well done!" View

"Oh wow this is absolutely and stunningly beautiful!
Really love the dramatic fx of the sunset lighting and of the girls looking into the distance - simply lovely.
"Love the way you captured the humour in this. I like the off-balance composition, thought that's what made this wall unique. Vector job is good but kinda expecting more from a senior member like yourself. Love the yellow-on-yellow choice, subtle but works well. Also like the increasing size text thing, somehow supported the motion of the car.
Nice one!" View

"I like the cleaness of this wall. Your vector is pretty neat too, gratz!
The only thing that kinda caught my eyes is the overlapping transparent flowers ..
I prolly wouldn't mind them much smaller and more transparent as well, so the girl stands out more yet you still have an interesting background.
"Excellent vectoring of the character, looks very cool with the black skintone and white hair.
Thought the background could have more elements to enhance the pose and the character's vector style. The bubbles look fine but perhaps it could add more depth if there were other elements as well. But I like the overall dark/light balance and the title design is very nice too.
Thought it was a girl - couldn't tell it's FMA lolz!
This is your first wall?!?! wow I'm hanging to see more of your work - congrats!" View

"Uwaaah the idea is soo absolutely sweet but I agree with Beckor that I was somewhat disappointed with the full size quality given the thumbnail looks so awesome.
Spike's vector looks like auto-traced looking at the amount of details lost. Same goes with the tree leaves, looks almost lazy. Embossed text doesn't work, flat would've worked better imo. The abstract clouds and stuff at the bottom is good though could use tidying up at some parts.
I loved how you came up with the concept - design and story nicely connected. Definitely enjoyed reading your description about it - just really really wished the execution and quality were better." View

You finally get to do your fresco thing huh?! Didn't get to do it for the Mireille challenge :)
The cracks are really really nicely done though I find some of them a little too prominent.
Great job with the extension and painting job - love it!

"Isn't this a great scan?! Love it from when I first saw it on puppychow's wall.
A rather simple wall but I like it - didn't try to do too much with the background hence focusing more on the character.
Not quite fond of the font choice though I must say, fancy a more gothic font type maybe?
Also thought that perhaps this wall is better if it was narrower i.e. 5:4 or 4:3 aspect ratio rather than widescreen. Just that the character is all the way to the left, leaving the rest of the wall rather empty/spacey, so perhaps if the text was a lot closer to the character then it might help make it a bit more balanced.
Do you know about the rules-of-third? Worth checking if you don't already know it.
Oh first wall? Well then, this is an excellent start - congrats and keep it up!" View

I thought the scan choice and concept were most interesting about this wall - that you could make an upside down character look quite alright which fits the challenge perfectly.
Not a fan for panty shots or ecchiness but I must say the perspective works well - lolz!
Great job yo - congrats!! ^^" View

"Wow I really love the pose!
And the backlit effect is seriously cool!
Nicely vectored, but I just wish there was more on the background that would enhance the mood i.e. stage lighting, spotlights, silhouttes of the other band members etc. Something subtle or even a super simple abstract background could work - anything to break the solid black fill and to make it a bit more interesting.
"Whee smexy wall! ^^
Gotta love Gakuen Heaven's bishies and gotta love this wall for capturing that.
Didn't strike me as a bordered wall but love the result with the graffitied wall, lighting etc looks great!
Really, if I didn't know you're a dude, I would've for sure without a doubt think that you're a girl! ^^;;
Well done, great wall!

Too late I'm already corrupted lolz!
I like the simplicity and originality of this wall!
The text placement bothers me a bit how it looks like it's going into her .. *cough* boobs ..
I like how it follows her figure though, somehow makes it more feminine ..
I like the broken outlines as well, looks like sewing patterns which also makes it more feminine lolz!
You must be a girl! XD
Too bad you only submitted it now, had you been 2-3 days earlier, you could have participated in this month's vectorness challenge but it's already closed now. Oh well, maybe next time when you're not so busy :)" View

"No worries matey, you had the ideas to begin with and all I did was give comments.
Was a pleasure to see the progressive steps of this wall and I'm sure you learnt a bunch of new things which is the most important part esp if you're only just started out.
And the result? Looks great, much much better than the first time I saw it!
There's still stuff that I would have done differently but in the end it's your wall and as long as you're happy with it then that's the way it goes. Being able to filter through comments and combining them with your own design sense is also a skill you know :)
Nicely done - keep it going! ^^
And yes, walling is art - definitely! :)" View

"Ooh I like this - nice simple and looks great!
Great posters idea and appropriate use of blur to give them a sense of distance/depth.
Nicely vectored too.
My only complaint would be that the colour of the wall is a bit too similar to his skin colour, perhaps it could do with lighter colours e.g. pastel light yellow or washed peach maybe? Not sure ..
His skin colour is also a touch too saturated for me. Maybe I just need a new pair of glasses ..
Well done great job! ^^" View
