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!

Nothing is impossible with vector, CloudGer ^^ It's just that it takes too much time XD New journal entry posted with a svg bonus in it :3

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 -_-"

This will heighten the number of participants porbably since there aren't thaaat many monochrome scans that suit vectors here

I really like the VD contests. Although I mostly paint, I hope VD continues for some time. :D

@`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 ?

Yeah VD#3 was win =D

~kaizor88 38 minutes ago
Yeah, I vote for it as well~ XP

"The concept is nice...it'd be nice if they somehow interacted more with the bg/each other though. Also...yeah, the characters need to be cleaned. For something like that, I'd suggest just totally revectoring it. SOrry. "

"Hahaha awesome!!

yeaaah i've missed you too. T___T

=P

Great concept. Very unique and whatnot. Some of the shapes are jagged when they should be smooth...otherwise, there's nothing wrong with it. The gradient might make it look really cheesy though...if anything, I'd suggest a couple random vector brushes in light hues to take up the space around the sides. "

Is this wallpaper ok? i need to know if i can submit it

"The image could definitely be cleaned up...especially on the left side, with her hair, and big areas like her skirt. You can see all the random pixels. Otherwise, it looks pretty nice. THe lighting's kinda wierd, considering how the source of light's coming from BEHIND her...but ehh. It's not THAT big of a deal. XD"

"Frankly, I think the version w/out texture, with the text, would've been perfectly submittable. It's humorous, well vectored, etc etc. If you want, you can keep the texture on the character, Buut...eh the texture doesn't really add much...makes it look too serious. XD"

"Thinking the character may be too saturated with blue...should probably mess around with the levels a bit. For the hair, you can either zoom up a little bit and cut it out with the pen tool, or zoom up alot and just erase it. umm yeah the color's the biggest issue. But eh good luck. "

"Lol that's Squall, btw. XD The edges on the front of his hair look kinda wierd/jagged...Also, the text is sorta wierd. The mon doesn't really match anything either. I'd suggest a little more texture on the bg/squall, just because it's kinda flat right now...that's the trouble with using 3-d stocks...they never look good with 2-d bg's. "

"Yeah it looks alot cleaner...I'd suggest just brushing over that bottom part of the tower with some low opacity white brush, like a sort of haze, just so it doesn't look as dark. You may want to try putting texture on top of the characters too...maybe? Nice job though. ^>6"

"The insects look really random...and the random flower stuff on top of Ichigo is really wierd too. It'd be alot better looking, imo, if you just had Ichigo be straight black, and had all that texture behind him. It's a great concept though. SOme of the edges look jagged though, like around his hair. "

"Cool concept. What are you trying to get rid of? The white outlines around her hair? That probably just an extraction issue...if you just use the pen tool to extract that image, it probably wouldn't have that issue...i think. "

Ah! revised wall

"Some of the extraction looks a little jagged...I'd also suggest filtering the background so it looks less like a photo, cuz it doesn't really match the picture. umm yeah some parts looks really grainy, so just clean it up a bit. I'd suggest upping the brightness/contrast too. "

"Your sig is really distracting...uh and the fall leaves look ALOT like you just found a picture and stuck it on. It doesn't match with the rest of the wall at all. The red stuff on her hair is also really blurry...should probably clean that up. How'd you do the lines around her?? Cuz I'd suggest just vectoring those lines so they're cleaner..."

"The parchment looks really pixelly in some places...also, it'd be nice if the picture itself were blended more into the background, either by layering on textures or something else on top. It should probably be more saturated, or discolored, imo. There's some cutting issues too..."

Sakura Wallpaper!!

"Is the only thing different the reddish tinge at the edge of her skirt? honestly...the first one doesn't really look that good, so I'd go with number two. But then, on number two, it looks like a poor cutting job. Sooo eh try to fix that up. The red burst around her face is really wierd too...especially considering the color of the background, the color scheme becomes really confusing...You should probably upload a bigger version too..."

"Yeah I like the new version. The texture and everything look really nice, but if you could find some way to increase the quality of the bg...especially the tower thing, it'd be nice. Right now, it just looks like something you found that was really pixelly, that you upped the contrast on so it wouldn't be as visible. But eh whatever. It looks nice. "

Trinity Blood Wallpaper...needs critics

"Yeeaah haha you definitely less monochromism. I like the concept, but if there was some way to make the actual character on the right stand out more...you need to find it. Consider saturating it so it's so much higher contrast than the rest of the bg that it's almost ridiculous. Also consider grunge brushing with random colors and messing with the blending options. Think about oranges, browns, dark greens. Good luck. "

"It looks really nice, especially the bg. The cleanliness of the stock compared to the bg is kinda wierd though. May want to figure out what to do with the gun too. XD So ignoring the extraction issues...Figuring out someway to better incorporate the stock into the bg. You've also got stray dirt particles below that character in the black too...May want to clean up the scan too. nice job though. "

"So you turned off the blue channel...hmm the only way I know how is to flatten the image. But i'm not sure you want to do that, since you won't really be able to mess with it anymore...

you could always just try getting rid of all the color, and then filling in those spaces with that yellow...or playing with blending options, especially hue/saturation/color. "

The one on the left looks really gray too..I know they're supposed to be different...but eh gray never really looks good...sometimes. XD nice job though.

Eureka Seven Ending Wall

"The outlines don't look as smooth as they could be...the fewer anchor points you use when vectoring, the smoother it'll be. Especially the hands. The hands look REALLY wierd. no offense. It's kinda wierd how much texture is on the bg compared to the lack of texture on the vector. Consider putting some texture/trapar on Renton/Eureka so that it looks more blended in with the bg. "

Edward Elric

"Sorry, I don't understand you...but hopefully you understand me. What language is it? Whatever...there are definite cutting issues around Ed. You can see pixels of the original background, and even white spaces by his coat...that needs to be cleaned up. The main stock is also really grainy...The blurred out version of ed in the background is sorta wierd...the rest of the bg is all blue, and it's hard to tell where to focus your eyes on. Both the small, in focus Ed and the big, blurry ed vie for attention...and it's kinda wierd. The text is definitely wierd...Try to find something more tech-y or grunge-y. Background's alright...see if you can't incorporate Ed into the bg more. "
