It has to be accepted, it's simple, neat and full o different interpretations.
He sure is skinny ^_^' The vector is very well composed, my favorite is the bird. Its colors have nice tones. I
like painted vectors, you worked with a beautiful, but hard to handle scan. Congrats, it's a success! :D
Artist Comment
This wall is supposed to be an entry for the Minaimal-ism Project held by
.
I hope it'll be accepted as an entry. :\
In Germany we have the metaphor 'von der Muse gekuesst werden' (to be kissed by a muse) which means you got a
sudden inspiration or have been inspired by something. Muses are deities of inspiration in Greek mythology and often
depicted as women.
'Inspiration is something that brings color to a life that would be rather dull and uneventful without it';
that's the thought behind this wallpaper. Sometimes inspiration is captivating and obvious and sometimes it's
small and unobtrusive, but it's always there and makes life a little more interestening.
It was really fun to use a scan by RAIN again. RAIN is one of my favorite artists and that alone makes the process more funny and satisfying. It's odd how I always vector anything, even if I could do something without vectoring. What I really like about vectoring is that everything fits together in the end, and I get a clean, harmonic result.
Textures and patterns for this were taken from DA!, Bashcorpo and Hybrid Genesis.
Here's the 1600x1200
version.
Comments and favs are greatly appreciated, hope you enjoy.
Edit:(16.05.2008)
I kind of agreed with Gaara and MapleRose on the highlights, so I fixed that and some minor errors I noticed along the
way. I sure hope it looks better now.

Wouldn't you like to be kissed by a muse?
Simple but beautiful. The earthen tones with a touch of bright colours on the bird makes this an exotic yet calming wallpaper with interesting symbolism and interpretation. Using clean vectoring and soft painting, Erdbeermilch did a great job on reworking RAIN's artwork!

Beautiful, innocent, exotic, alluring, refreshing & free. Stunning work of art. It's criminal to call this a wallpaper :)

Simply spectacular.
I keep tryin' to remind myself that this is a "simple-ism" wallpaper and any suggestion I provide is going to upset the already delightful simplicity and beauty this piece already possesses.
Good luck on the contest!

I just feel that the highlight on the leaves should be painted as well, right? Other than that, the simplicity works and I like how you've changed the original colour.

Pretty ^__^ I love your use of colours. And yes, I can understand the concept behind this, because I receive inspiration everywhere :) Nice vectoring and painting, though I agree with gaara that the sharp highlights on the leaves look a bit out of place...

I love the painted look on this wall, especially the way you paint his face. It's very artistic and I think you made up for the simplicity of the background by doing that. My only tiny bit complain would be that the leaves could use more shadows on the right side.

That's indeed very pleasant. I like how you managed to sort of retrace and recolour the artwork yet it still holds its authenticity (that watercolour of the original... lol... somewhat a nightmare to work with x_x;) I love how it's all clean and nicely done. Well deserved highlight :)

Great concept, the vectoring is beautiful, and your color composition is wonderful (especially for the bird). The bg textures are nice, and i like the simpleness of the whole piece ;)
Thumbs up and fav :D
