Okay, saw first saw this amazing image when I was playing this visual novel (kinda yuri'ish) on the PS2. Thought it would make a good wallie, but turned out it's only in 640x480 =/. I then thought man maybe if I could vector it that would be good... and so I went to pick up vectoring, and vectored this image.
Original image (640x480):

Took a total of 6 days of work, slowness mostly due to my inexperience >_<. The process for those who are
interested (each image transition is about a day of work):

Stats:
Layer: 90+ (most of them are colour layers)
Most tedious/annoying part to vector: Kimono butterfly outlines (grr...)
Hardest part to vector: The eye... yes the eye, took me 2 hours to get the first eye right...
My favourite part of the vector: The extended sleeves of the kimono...
My least favourite part of the vector: The hair.. also probably because it's the part I first coloured, so
it's probably not too good...

I usually use animepaper, only browses MT once in a while for a scan or two.... but this place seems to have much more people.
As for the character, she's called Yumei from Akai Ito, a PS2 yuri'ish visual novel (http://www.success-corp.co.jp/software/ps2/akaiito/index.html)

I actually cannot find anything at fault with this wallpaper. There can be different background styles to highlight the character by shining the outline behind the character

awesome image! >.<
though the vector is jagged, my advice is to merge all the layers before resizing it the vector to smaller size
then u get sharp+soft in one :)
anyway, u did a very good job ^^ -
