Bakemonogatari Wallpaper

Finally got in the mood to work on it because I took a short break working on another scan. I am also starting to get back to 7+ hours of sleep, fuck yeah! I hope I don't jynx myself.

It feels good. Especially in this cold weather where hot showers feel x5 better due to temperature change.

I don't know the exact % completion on this wallpaper since I am still wondering what to do for the background. Not sure if I should extend the scan's background or go with a plain light background to make the character stand out more.

Right now I got done with the first round of shading. Which is basic shading and get the feel of the scan. I started the second round of shading about 2 days ago which is adding more vectors and gradients to have things blend in more subtly and look less flat. Also on the second round of shading I enhance the color a bit to make it pop out more. I just noticed how dull my coloring was in the first round.

I might not complete this wallpaper in the month time I usually take for my wallpapers. It all really depends on my mood. I probably had enough time to have this complete by now but I've been really lazy and unmotivated until recently.

you
lol. I surprised myself too actually. When I looked back at a couple of my other wallpapers (especially Sky Shroud) I said, "Ewww... I made that?" It was pretty much almost 2 years ago as you said and I had no idea what I was on or thinking at that time, haha. All I remember is that I was struggling trying to vector that scan for some reason and just decided to release it anyway even though I knew it wasn't that good. I specifically suck at backgrounds that's why it's some lame filter.

Enjoy the manga! I really like Masaki. I want to take her home and love her tenderly. ;_;

/(O_O)/ emoticon that's so mean saying that to your own work, it isnt that bad. one have to try to love the crapwork one makes >D like i should b talking

Oh really? lol. Sorry to spring a new word on you like that XD

Well from what I've seen it looks pretty tough and it's not
done alot. The good thing is that artist that do make it are really
awesome at it. I don't really know the definition of it, I just look at
a wall and when I see multiple lines or like Akai Yuki, it always has that glossy look.

You're welcomed, it's great piece. I love the most this type of vectors that look painted but they aren't( I've been aiming to do this type of vectors and miserably failed). So that's how you did it! I thought you only used the eraser on lower opacity, and I actually tried it on something I've been working But I didn't got the same result obviously. Hm never thought of gradients. I learned something new now, thanks! Can't way to try it.
I'm gonna check your gallery now. XD

> (°) Community Waller
A member that has been seen to consistently contribute high quality wallpapers. Community Wallers have unrestricted access to wallpapers, and can upload wallpapers without having to go through approval. Expected to be familiar with the AP Guide regarding wallpaper submission requirements.

A promotion is the result of the promoted user\'s effort in gaining the mod/admin\'s trust and goodwill regarding the user\'s daily conduct on-site in line with site rules as well as the user\'s ability to consistently uphold good quality standards in submitted wallpapers (hence, our belief that community/senior wallers do not need to have their wallpapers checked for quality and basic walling practices such as extractions, positioning, etc all the time).

Failure to adhere to the underlined would result in the promotion being rescinded.

Just for your info.

Aw, your welcome :3

I'm sure it was hard, though it looked fun to tackle
and make. Did you vexel it? I thought it was vexel from the
multiple lines you used. Yea, I wish there were more ice walls...alot
of them are made by less skilled artist. So with that out, please make more!
I've been looking at your gallery and I really enjoy your style ^^
Must watch! Must watch!
