Infatuation
NOUN:
1. A foolish, unreasoning, or extravagant passion or attraction. See Synonyms at
love.
2. An object of extravagant, short-lived passion.
A deep word indeed for a theme, it is very hard to be understood at firt
ââ¬Â
I decided to go with the idea of infatuation in term of "short-lived
passion"
The choice for scan was rather tough, I was gonna do Nana after being inspired
by Crapmonsterââ¬â¢ work however after a
long self-debate I decided to stick with my Fav Anime artist - Range Murata,
The subject is a common girl dressed in high school student.
I pick the subject to represent stereotype of teenagers during that certain
period.
Teenagers filled with short lived passion towards their obsession.
The only time they stop was when they realized whether it is not probable
Therefore I decided to show this motion in simplified geometrical
abstraction.
Using circles to create bursting movement (just like soft drink, it dies down
after a while ^_^ )
Arrows was also used to emphasized the movement .
I used the butterflies (rather hidden) because of the short lives they have
(3days on average), it kinda represents temporary thing for me.
The color blue (or bluish) was chosen because
itââ¬â¢s BLUE it gives sense of
ââ¬Åregretââ¬Â or
something for me. ^_^
All was vectored , texturised
I try to keep as simple as possible (for SIMPLEISM) but then again I got carried
away.
Hope you like it. Thanks for reading , feel free to drop a comment
itââ¬â¢ll be appreciated thanks in advance

No words to describe... The vector works is wonderful, great skills there :bows: And the background is just simply stylish :clap: Probably one of my favorite works for you.
Oooh, it was the one I though it was ^^ .
Love the vectoring and the background, although subtle, does the vector justice and provides a good base for the cleanliness of the character to shine
.
Good luck with the WAR comp!
OMG..the vector is super well done. The coloring is so soft and pretty.
I love the background....not fancy...just simple, with different shades of blue..i have to say it again..this represents Simple-ism
great job!~
I keep wondering to myself why the long, drawn out explanations of vocabulary that I see on Minitokyo; then I remember that the great majority of people on the internet are idiots, and things fall into place.
A nicely done vector backgroundââ¬âsimple as is your usual style with vectors. Simple and well executed, very clean cut: which is something that you don't see with many Minitokyo products. Great work.
I'd fav, but my favorites are pretty much reserved for things having to do with Yoshitaka Amano's art, because I'm obsessive that way. Sorry about that...
OMG it's a vector of a Range Murata scan. How is it possible?
So...very nice. Love the idea of soft drink bubbles. XP
Woah!!! Great vector!!!
The girl looks so peaceful and sad....I wonder why she is sad....:(
I love Murata-san'a works and u created with it beautiful wallie!! Good job!!!
its... a... vector...!! And a really nice vector at that <333 I'm so amazed at everyone's walls from the Simple-team...
Like
'Sake said, I love the soft drinks bubbles idea... and the butterflies O_O So
nice to have butterflies actually mean something in a wallie, and those abstract
ones are really cute
Awesomess cal!
You could have lessened the white grunge overlayed bg on the right a bit and left some blue to show but yeah i was wondering who would make a wall of this certain image but yeah nice to see that the text is beautifully made for this... nice vector work too! :P
I really love the vector work u've done ^_^~ the soft colours n shading is very good ~u got me fooled with an original scan
the wall is very neat ~ I like the colour concept n grungy textures that looks
very cute >w< the font u chose is very fitting~ love the overall
appearence~ wonderful work na cal~ +fav ^^
gorgeous vector here...and the bg is very simple yet unique
great work
Hi Caliqos! How have you been? I see you make a new wallie. Its very nicely done sepically the girl. However just her leg....
Sorry bout it! I find her leg kinda too big. X.X If you make it thinner it would
looks better. Anyway a very nice wallie indeed. Keep it up!
woooo... man !
).
this is very "clean" !! I love vectors, and I know why when I see yours... it is really beatifull. I love the girl (school wear...
thanx for share this wonderfull work....
Hope to see more soon....
see yaaaaa....
nice and simple does it
vector perferct and so is that background...i think this is great!
very nice vector. very nice. i really dig the background. it is simple and mellow, very subdued. great job. keep it real real, nice vector.
wow cal-san ~ u did a very beautiful job on the vector . its really really hard to vector range but u did it pretty good . and such a cute bg u made too. the bubbles rso cute . so r the arrows.
n the round round font is so pretty.
nice meaningful wall u made and nice grunge ~~
*favs*
wow honey this looks so great i love it so much honey thanks for share this vector
Why you change the title...lol...I like this one better than the rough draft version of it...I have no clue how you have done the grunge...because I am not an artist of it...but I like the grunge for this one...much smooth rather than hard edges...and the concept of bubbles never hurt anyway...and I have a feeling that you ran out of time fix something else...I think you really kept it simple...I am the chaoticism...it is simple and clean...the vector of course is really nice..lol...I wish I could do it but my first attempt knock the fruit out of me already...but I will try it some more someday and make wall out of it...I can't be random...so grunge is not my thing...but good luck on the contest...!!
At first, it didn't feel like infatuation to me, but then I read your description and it really made some sense to the theme. Your vectoring is really pretty and has a nice soft quality to it. The colors are my fav and I love the theme of the bg. Words that appear slightly and the bubbles that show that each infatuation is as delicate as a bubble for the average school girl. Really awesome work!
waah, excellent work on teh vector, calisqo *_* if you didnt say it was a vector, i woulda believed you rite then and there, no doubt *nods* yup yup, lol. anyways, lovely work as usual, calisqo!
Was the scan vectored too? Really impressive. Nice blending between shades. A sort of painted look to it.
Personally, I feel the background looks a bit too...how to say...bubbly? Like, happy go lucky. Doesn't seem to quite relate to the word infatuation in my mind. But it's all about interpretation I guess. All your reasons make sense.
Another brilliant vector wallpaper though. Sure is your speciality
i love your intention. as far as i understand you are the only person to have an intention similar to my own; actually i was seriously contemplating using this scan.. your fascination with Murata-san is understood and well placed as few artists can draw a female and expressive emotive qualities as he can.. i love her pose, facial expression and most importantly her eyes...
awesome metaphors you have here: the butterflies and the the blue bg. this is an excellent vector.. i just have one minor complaint perhaps having just a little more in the bg and moving the title to the bottom would have been a tad more effective.
very good job, calisqo. i am envious of your vectoring skills.
Your wall ould also stand for the seemingly odd infatuation some people have with schoolgirls
.
Anyway, your wall is very soft on the eye and very flowing with the placement and design of circles you have used. The other odd shapes, arrows, and swirls you have used give much movement to the wall and focus the eye onto the character you've chosen well.
Your vector job is superb
.
Very simple, yet elegant your entire wall is in design. Lots of icon space is
also included in your wall, which will make those wanting icons very happy. The
text you chose also fits perfectly in the way that it too is very rounded. I
also noticed a sort of glow around the girl which really helps her to stand
apart from the sea of blue, yet blends in with the rest of the wall. Great wall
from the Simple-ism team
.
It's cool to see something new from you
I
would like to see more contrast in it but then maybe it wouldn't look simpleism
anymore.
I agree it's so soft for the eyes ... this color theme. Nice choice of scan also.
Your explication looks fine to me.
I love your grunge texture
I like the tranparents circles on the girl, should have more of them I think... on her hair especially.
Anyway nice work like always, you really have your style of walling and I like it
your wallp is very cute... but your descript is cool..
awesome!
