wonderfull work!

This wallpaper turned out so different from what I had in mind when I started. First of all I wanted to use a completely different scan, but I couldn't get the lineart for that one right because it was too sketchy so I picked this one instead. I also wanted to make a simple scenic background featuring a Tokonoma and Ikebana but I couldn't pull that of either so I thought "Screw it all" and went for a simple wall screen as background, the flowers and butterfly were vectored from this scan.
Somehow I have the feeling this is a pretty failure, I wanted to make another Minimal-ism entry but looking at it now I
don't have the feeling it's good (simple) enough.
I guess I can still tell you what my interpretation of the scan is though. With all the floating hair and clothing it
looks a little supernatural on the surface, to me it's an portrayal of Rin's situation. Her aim is to kill
Anotsu and avenge her family, but somehow I have the feeling she isn't really getting closer to achieving this
(more the reverse in fact), she's in a way just sitting and not moving towards her aim. Still it's not like
nothing is changing because Rin herself and her situation are changing throughout the series, there's always
movement/change like in her hair and clothing in that scan. Even if there's no visible progress there's still
a change.
Those are my thoughts and musing about it now it's somehow sad that I couldn't think of a better background
and it's unbelievable how I suck at "attaching" people to the floor they're supposed to stand/sit
on.
On a more positive note, they're making an anime for this awesome series this summer. I hope there'll be fansubs for this. >.<
Textures were taken from DA! (though they've been taken off the site now) and Dioma@Deviantart, patterns were taken from Hybrid Genesis.

This is really beautiful. I like the elegance in her posture, it matches with the over tone of the wall and the wall screen images of flowers and butterflies. nice job on this!

Hi, there! I so knew it was yours just by looking at the thumbnail... :)
Your wallpapers are very elegant and somehow mature. I really love your work.
Your compositions are always balanced and pleasant to see.
Keep up with the good work! :)
+ fav! ;)
Kisses... :) -

I totally knew this was your's. When I saw the thumbnail, I immediatly said, "Anja submitted a new wallpaper!"
And this is pretty win in my opinion. I actually think it'd make a wonderful minimal-ism entry (though I'm not the one who decided that).
I love the earthy tones you've used. The vector is just... so awesome.
And I love the wallscreen designs. <3 -

I love the vector, nice expression and feeling poured
into it. Back ground is beautiful, you like picking on yourself huh?
I love the flowers and simple bg, I feel like I'm watching a play.
Great job :3 -

It's definitely not simple, I think the flowers have killed the minimal look :) .
Even though I am not really fond of the colours here (I rather despise brown), somehow the combination of red and brown seems to be very fitting. I also like the mood of the wallpaper - the sad face of the girl, the red mooon and the obi mysteriously untying itself. -

Hum, i love the mood of this piece, her expression is great, and the color composition fits that quite well. As for the scan, well it's nicely used and vectored, but not so well blended into the bg (except for the colors of course), maybe because of the strong outlines. Great textures on the bg !
Thumbs up and fav :D
