sorry for the late comment.
simple, but quite a nice wall you have here! the colours and textures go together very well and vector work is crisp and
clean. looks very nice blu-chan!
Artist Comment
The idea for this one came from one of the volume 6 chapter covers, which shows Yuuko in a pool of smoke with lotuses growing from the smoke. I think I went through all 8 volumes 3 times looking for just the right image of Yuuko to use...before giving up and downloading this from the MT gallery. Yuuko is holding a pipe in the scan, but I cut that out of the vector and placed a lotus at the end of her fingers instead. I realize it looks a bit off but...
The lotuses were vectored off a couple of b&w chapter covers from volume 5 and colored using this scan for reference. The smoke was vectored off a b&w manga scan from volume 2 and colored using this scan for reference ^_^' I say colored, but they're really just gradients with touches of brushing. The original vector is 2778x2994 px and takes forever to open at this point. The bg ^_^' is just some render clouds and texture for a simple, faded look.

I love your vectoring, it's so clean. lol, I didn't nottice she was missing her pipe for a while. It would have been interesting if you replaced it with a lotus stem, cuz then that solves the funny hand position issue.
Anyways, I love what you did with the scan. =)

vector is a YES for me but the background is a MAYBE. the bg should be abit more showy. the vector can not be anymore perfect. ^.^ great job.

nice vector! I really like what you did with the smoke. the dress tone is nice, but could be darker to distinquish it from the background.
simple background, but it works!

I think that it may be drawn carefully.

A beautiful image. Yuuko looks lovely (as always), and the smoke and flowers mix very well. I love how CLAMP uses smoke in xxxHOLiC. It definitely highlights the mystique of the series. The background is plain, but it helps to highlight Yuuko.

DREAM's criticism is actually on-spot. Unless it feels like a major part of the character, it shouldn't be hiding part of her.
& you're right, her hand touching the lotus IS kinda unnatural, but what about Yuuko IS natural? :D
