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...

not bad for a first item on minitokyo!~ =]

Great job. Great vector. Thanks for sharing!

Hey hey, welcome to MT! ^_^

Her mouth looks a bit strange (or is it only me?), but other than that, all I can say is : Wow!
Looking forward to see more from you! :)

new great vector/waller is on MT ^^ welcome.
BTW this wall is excellent. love outlines (I'm colored lines fan)

what game is this?

It's GREAT! Loved your wallie :)

I like it very much.

Great Wall, very well made^^

Welcome to MT!
Wow, what a great first submission, it's totally cool.
I love the blueish tone of the whole thing.
Hope to see more of you

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

saw this in AP and DL it there :D
just love the image you use! love also on how you vector it!
great colors + the butterflies effects XD love those glowy styles of them XD
this goes to my fav! ;)

btw welcome to MT! enjoy your stay here with us! XD
*gives you candy*

Nice! I love this game but u know I didn't have a chance to buy it.=[]=!"
So i only have their cg. ^^" This game name is AKAIITO.
+fav

Wow, very nice XD

This pic is beautiful i like it so much!

her face, her pose, everything is beautiful

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 ^^

it's so beautiful n.n!
it's very nice! -^^-
her kimono is beautiful
-^^-!
byes bee~~

Very nice work! I love the movement that you were able to capture with the scan and the butterflys! ^_^

that is soo cool.
-save as fav-

I love how the kimono turned out ^_^ Nice work. Keep it up :)

wow nice wallpaper
