My only entry for the Which?Waller Round 2. No one guessed this correctly :D
I was really inspired by Candy's La Nouvelle Lumiere; and thankfully, she did a tutorial for it.
mucha's frame + my swirls + texture-whorez = super modern art nouveau wall

50% vector, 40% textures and 10% painting. Haha.

Vectored the round frame from this Mucha's work. Vectored and painted the girl from this scan. 2 textures from stock.xchng. Swirlies - freehand vectored based on my sketch.

A quite simple wall, cause there's a lot of blank spaces, but the textures are awesome. And sorry, no 4:3 ratio version. Widescreen rules and I'm too lazy to edit the frames.

I really think more people should make more nouveau walls.

    it's nice, but it misses something. Though I don't know what :)

    It's like a piece of art without a soul.

    For once, someone made a fantastic wall out of an overused scan. You did a great job on this wall. Thanks for contributing to the tiny tiny amount of decent Elfen Lied walls in the world.

    OMG! OMG! This work is awasome! Very Excellent indeed! :) Lucy looks amazing here. The concept is really nice. I love the background, the details and neatness in this work is very well done. Congratulations! :)
    I also love the title of your work.
    Keep up the good work :D

    A PIECE OF ART WITHOUT A SOUL! DID YOU READ THAT!

    I'm still going to wall this scan and klimt-whore it one day

    you totally pwned candy
    and me since I was completely lost......

    anyway......awesome man.....the color is very stunning and imposing, the feeling is very artistic and the style is very unique since you cant tell if it is a vector or if you painted or what.
    my respect to you, spamming boy.

    whats really bothering me is her chest area. without the areole it really looks weird because the right breast seems to be attracting most of the lightning which makes me focus on that area. it almost looks like a manequin from the neck down.

    I thought this was candy's :O
    you fooled me, awesome job,
    texture, vectoring, everything :D

  11. Piccolobear Apr 25, 2007

    Aw man, you were on my shortlist for this wall... I love the textures you used, and the painting on her body really is something else. Now if we could just get an april foolio version of the entire wall... X-P

  12. overbond Apr 25, 2007

    wow, this one looks amazing! the background works with the vector perfectly! genial work on it! ;)

    and plus wide, much better! :D

  13. MizuhofanFFX2se Apr 25, 2007

    good, nice, no soul.(no nipples, lose detail at lower part)

    Quote by info-0It's like a piece of art without a soul.

    yes i think so too. this really great work but...

    you can do it full version without any removed detail then up to deviantART with mature check...
    i demand a 4:3 rate he he. nice work thought.

    detailed commenting cause I full viewed again wanting to knmow why so many thought it was mine :_:
    OK I shall be harsh >D
    You loose points for:
    +symetrical designs on the 2 sides. Nouveau nevaaaar is symetrical in shapes, only in frames (and even frames often arn't perfectly the same on both sides)
    +abtrast round shapes are cool, but not nouveau!
    +Typography isn't integrated with the frames (like so)
    +too much empty space on the 2 sides~ (thats the thing that made me think it was tama's wall cause she does that too)

    ..that's all I can think for the moment, I thought I could find more lawl

    any chance of a 1600x1200 version?

  17. moonescape Apr 28, 2007

    I can see why no one guessed correctly. Even I wouldn't think this would be your work. :D

    Wow! I was amazed by this. I mean the background was very unique when you got the idea from the scan. You gave a nice gradient and decorations to make this wallpaper stand out.

    Despite the nudity it's a beautiful art. I'm glad you didn't add those "unmentionable" details to it because it would seem distracting if you know what I mean. :D You vectored the outlines very smoothly and got the shade areas perfectly. :3 The texture you added for the skin gave a nice touch to it. I'm glad you made those markings around her stand out because it made the wallpaper interesting and unique too. :D

    This definately deserves fave because I can't see how would a wallpaper like this not be an eye-catcher. :o

    nice wallpaper, the background is nice, like the pattern at the 2 corner. ^^
    the lucy vector is great. colours is nice.
    keep it up, +fav

  19. MapleRose Moderator May 02, 2007

    hmm, though I commented on this already..

    the expression on that card is kinda creepy DX but, you fooled us all, you're good at copying candy's style XD (but I can't believe that she didn't get it either...)

    nice painting, I like the textures, and nice borders. I like the colour scheme too, very warm. Though I think her face looks too soft compared to everything else, like she needs a nose (or a more defined one) XD

  20. yui20 May 07, 2007

    It's a really nice wallie tho O.o ~
    At least I cant do tht on a wallie lol ! XD The bg is beautiful... and u vectored them really well :D ~

  21. Regenbogen May 25, 2007

    "lily of purity"? Hmm... your wallpapers are really interesting... the male imagination of female purity? Ok i better try to focus on some other aspects of your wall without trying to figure out your intentions... *lol* The vector of the girl is really good... love the textures. The background is very detailed in comparison to the girl. I don't think that you suddenly became lazy after creating such a detailed ornament background... so if I'm assuming it was your attention to make the vector of the girl a lot simpler... she looks really soft compared to the rest of the wall supporting your title "Lily of purity"... Well done... ;-)

    A very nice wallpaper. Glad it's not bloody like the majority of all other Elfen Lied wallpapers.

    :)

  23. Fran May 30, 2007

    I feel extremely evil for not commenting on this wall...
    Wow, cool vectoring + painting. At first glance, this is very Candy-ish
    Keep it up the great job!
