Another Art Nouveau wallpaper, this time in the delicate styles of Aubrey Beardsley. I
started this wallpaper a year (and a week) ago because the original scan
of Yuuko reminded me heavily of Beardsley's "The Peacock
Skirt". I decided to combine that with an image of
Watanuki covered in bandages - converting the bandages to more spider webs.
It helped that the bandages were already in a web formation. I dusted this
wallpaper off recently because I'm in an Art Nouveau
kick and wanted to do something Nouveau that wasn't Alphonse
Mucha-styled.
I realize now that the timing could not be better - Halloween is next week, and
what better wallpaper theme than spiders? Regardless, that's merely
coincidence.
Not much to say on technique -- just Illustrator and Illustrator art brushes for
the spider weaves to save on time.
The title comes from the novel Spindle's
End and is the first part of a poem:
Small spider weave on a silver sleeve
On weave your grey web nearer...

There is no such of coincidence, it is must be fate for you to make this wallpaper. I'm going to use it on desktop on Halloween. xD
It is really cool wallpaper. I really like spider web weaving around Watanuki. Looking forward for more of your works.
On second thought, It would more awesome if it was in black/white mode.
That must've been so insane to do. I admire your dedication. I love the composition as well
.
Amazing work!
wow, that must have taken a very long time ^^ Excellent wallpaper
The interchanging of the two different shades of colours is quite interesting. The spider concept and the choice of scans seems to fit perfectly.
there is no coincidence only Hitsuzen
anyways great job on this! love how you did on watanuki converting the bandages to spider webs ;D
yuuko is just so uberly cool there! with all the spider webs around her
great job as usual! +fav!
wow you pay so much attention to small details
but oh well thats an ar-nouveau law so i dont mind it at all
awesome job with vectoring and the concept is very cool
i only see one flaw: guys left [his right] eye looks kinda oof cuz the head has a little angle and the eye has the same proportions with the jther one, while it must be a little smaller
anyway, this work is so high quality that i just cant resist faving it
Awesome work with the details and I love the colors you chose! Such patience as well 0_0
damn it that must have took so long to do! awesome!
How did you survive vectoring that scan of Yuuko? I'm still working on it for a wallpaper I started a month ago and I wanna die
The
idea for adding Watanuki and changing the bandages to webs was excellent, and
when I saw the thumbnail when I was browsing I honestly thought it was a scan of
a card or something. The Art Nouveau style fits perfectly with this series, too.
And you made it widescreen (I love you! 
)
It's a beautiful wallpaper.
Woah, that's an incredible vector wall. D=
thought was a scan, its really beautiful, love spiderwebs, and love the combination of purple and black
fav defintly ^^
This is just insane !
Wonderful job, the vector is flawless. The color combination is also nice.
Keep it up C:
purple is so en vogue this season
love it. happy you finished it.
I love this wall. Monochromatic walls always win with me, and then all that detail, it's pure eye candy.
This is so going straight on my desktop.
Very nice wall there, love it
this is so awesome!
Awesomeness! I like how you did that! That's just the connection Yuuko-san and Watanuki-kun have haha! j/k. Anyhow I really liked how you put it together. Nicely done.
