Yuki plays a RPG

I changed her eyes to look like they were staring at hell x)

There is no real theme or idea in this. I sorta just added stuff as I went along. It is open for your interpretation :) I did trial and error with a lot of techniques, so it took quite a while to finish.

This is perhaps my hardest and longest wallpaper.
I actually vectored Yuki a few months ago. It was my first time doing shape vectors (all lines are traced on both sides then filled in, as opposed to one line then stroking). With little experience, it took quite a while; by the time I was done with hair, I couldn't take it anymore, and alot of the lines on the clothes are single width (1 stroke). It was a mistake. Illustrator screws a lot of stuff up when you mix Live Paint and brush strokes. I had to spend a lot of time fixing errors. I struggled through gradient fills, too. Now I've had more practice, my vectoring has gotten better and faster, but looking back, this vector turned out nicely still.

Anyways I finished the vector and let it sit for a while until now. I found a vector of a laptop I did for a poster contest a few weeks ago, and touched it up and recolored it.

Everything else is rendered in Photoshop. This took a few hours cuz of extra time spent experimenting. The balls and lines are a combination of brush strokes and blending effects.

I'm not sure if the balls in the BG look too messy or not, so here's a version without

I realize there's some empty space around the sides of the laptop, but adding stuff didn't improve the wall, so I'm leaving it for icon space :P.

This was partly inspired by one of my other wallpapers.

    This is really nice, but somehow i prefer the one with lots of the colorful marbles. Mind if u made it into 1600x900 D:, or the same size as the one u put up :3.

  2. ngakyuklim Jan 13, 2010

    It is funny looked. Though it would not badly be looked as wall-paper on a laptop desktop and as though she leaves it

  6. Sakura-Dust Jan 13, 2010

    You forgot to erase a part of the red strings in the right, on the black bg.
    The idea is creative, I love the uniqueness of it, I also like the version with lots of marbles more, it's not that empty.

  7. LystikinenaXP Jan 13, 2010

    That's a shiny laptop, it looks very nice ^^. I like both versions of it, it was good that you thought of the icon space :). Sometimes it's good to have a little corner where to put them you know? I like the colorful marbles too. Great work~

    Yuki! I bet she's very good at gaming (though I see her more as a mage XD)

    Anyway, nice vectoring, the gradients on Yuki are pretty nice, though I think the laptop could use some touch-ups (a few jagged and blocky areas that should be smoother). (and lol I think I have the same laptop XD)

    I love those colour lines, esp against the black background. I think I prefer the cleaner version, but I like how in this version it looks like the coloured balls look like they're flowing out of the computer :)

  9. Echolen Jan 14, 2010

    I love the concept! And the colors look really great!

    Very nicely done, love the uniqueness of it. :))
    I prefer the version with all the balls in it, ( but the resolution is waaaay too big for my desktop >.<; ).

    Great job, love.
