vector #32

main feature at sakura--cb
feature at sola-fans
+ASH-Hikari's personal highlight XD

all of my life sailor moon was my religion and no anime/toon/movie could get that high.... but after watching sola everything changed!
thats just unbelievable, i was crying watching a half of the episodes, and its like strange because i never cried watching anime/movies/toons
and its very sad that sh*t like naruto is like so popular, and such an amazing anime like sola is not
btw, if ur internet is fast enough to watch videos in youtube, please, PLEASE watch sola, it deserves waaaaaaaaaaay more attention and love
thats actually my 2d sola vector-wallpaper
i started the first one (.:LINK:.) just because i loved the image, and i didnt know anything about the anime itself
but this time, i was just so inspired by sola, that i decided to vector all the scans and screencaps of it
___

i used .:this:. scan, i hate aono so i just cropped her >:D and i also used it for the background, cuz i have no imagination/creativity to create my own. oh btw, i painted everything except the sky and water [the clouds are painted too]
dammit >.< i suck at painting...

some stats....
time: 4h outlines, 2h 10m colours and <2h for the bg
difficulty: 4/10
hardest part: outlining the hair
easiest part: colours
#of shapes 28

    wow great wallpaper
    matsuri is great, vector is awesome!
    btw i love both texture and without...

    *Cries*
    Beautiful job! The texture gives that old kind of look, which fits with the title.
    Oh, and now you're calling my Naruto names? Fine then... >_<
    Well you already know I love it, right? Yep yep. Nicely done! Glad to see a wall from you instead of just a vector!

    I will forever like this shnit if you meant it that way, so yeah, I don't care.

    For sure textureless version looks way better (for me) cause I simply think that the texture you've used isn't suitable or in other word, a bit dirty for that lovely girl. The vector is nicely done. Just my opinion, I don't like the text.

  7. BABORY Nov 26, 2007

    Wow...that very nice and thank you.

  8. saki-xan Nov 26, 2007

    Hey you are sooo fast! >:D take some time free! <3
    Wow! *.* Mountains and clouds painted *.* is curious because I also learned yesterday as paint >3 you know what I mean ah? XD God job ;)

  9. entity1660 Nov 26, 2007

    I like the heavy texture, it is awesome! XD

  10. miriambr Nov 26, 2007

    This is great =O Nice vector and background!
    I like the texture-free version more ^^'

  11. Omone Nov 26, 2007

    wow you did very well on painting the clouds and mountains. the ylook very well XD And I am envious since I cannot painting =D The vector is very nice, as always. I prefer the texture-free version =D

    Maybe I watch Sola in the near future. Seems to be interesting =D

  12. Chloe-chan Moderator Nov 26, 2007

    Love the background and the vector is very neatly done! Great job!

  13. DarthTofu Elite Member Nov 27, 2007

    I agree, textureless is better. However, nice job painting, you'll get better at it the way you've gotten so good at vectoring, I'm sure!

    And gasp! Something has replaced Sailor Moon? =O

  14. Lariel Nov 27, 2007

    Texture-less is better. *rushes to dl* I really, really love this Sola vector of Matsuri. Maybe you can attempt Clannad next time? XD

  15. reload Nov 27, 2007

  20. Fran Elite Member Nov 28, 2007

    Dude, the textureles is so much better
    I really like the angle, it looks very cool. And well, the vector...wow, flawless as always!
    Keep it up~

  21. drastikhate Nov 28, 2007

    You used an awesome texture, it has a nicer feel to it! :D
    +fav

  22. moonescape Nov 28, 2007

    Wow, this is beautiful! I just love this. I've never seen the scan before actually despite I've browsed around. Oh wait now I know why. I didn't check the catergory for such a long time. XD

    This is really wonderful. In truth it was just a simple background use of effects and texture did the trick here. :o Ack. I told myself not to go on the comptuer. I'm promising to improve my grade, but I'm procrasinating. Somone must stop me going to MT. OX

    You love(d) Sailor Moon? Oh, wow...I learn something new about people everyday. I always figured you for the more eccentric-artist-type from your vectors and thought you loved stuff like xxxHolic or something. You actually cried while watching Sola? Wow again... ^_^'

    I can see how Aono was supposed to be the "villain" of the show but I don't think she deserves to be hated. If Matsuri hadn't interfered with her life (both times) she wouldn't have turned out that way. If anything, I think the anime is about Matsuri's life coming full-circle by redeeming her one regretful sin. :nerd:

    But enough about that, on to the vector-wall. Why the heck did you texture-over the vector? Was it to hide the painted background or was it an artistic choice? Either way, I personally feel it undermines all the work you put into vectoring the scan a little. On the other hand, the texture you chose was interesting. I don't know if you've ever played the "Silent Hill" games but that's what it reminds me of. So much so that I'm tempted to recolor your wall in reds and oranges to parody it but I reconsidered because I don't know if that would offend you or not. :sweat:

    Sorry for making you read all that, I'll try to wrap up. You can probably guess that I prefer the textureless version more; I feel it really shows your efforts into vectoring the scan (not to mention painting the bg yourself). Your work is exemplery as always and Matsuri looks kind of shy yet seductive in this wall. It's all good. Thanks for sharing (all versions) of this vector-wall, abul. I d/loaded at least 3 out of 4. I eagerly look forward to your next vector; and if it's more Sola then all the better. Until then, take care. Cheers! ;)
