1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200
and 1920 x 1200 versions (+/- textures) over here.
Included on the left is the textureless 2560 x 1600 version.
I should prolly be working on the wallpaper for Arete III, but I get distracted so easily it's not even funny anymore D: I'm also a dumbass: I had to save all the versions again because some stupid layer covered up the yellow spot on her left eye D: But anyway, this is the right version, the one I wanted to submit.
Buut, here it is. The story is simple: after seeing this scan, I knew I could make a wall with it because it's simpler than others I have on my list. I admit I wasn't too attracted to Kunie Kanbara's style in the beginning, but now I've grown to like it; it has matured somehow and looks much better, in my opinion.
As always, I went against the flow: Kunie walls have always been crisp and clear. I'm the special snowflake that decided she wanted a grunge Kunie wall on her desktop. I'm prolly gonna be disliked for "ruining" her style, but I made this primarily for myself and am just putting it out there, in case anyone wants it.
I began by vectoring the image itself, then added the text (which looked like this in the beginning). After that, I realized it looked kind of empty and started extending the "bubbles" which I actually interpreted as clouds in this wall, added the "rainbow" and then the "forest". Phew, I'm all out of quotation marks.

Time: 2 days, on and off. Took a lot more than I expected.
One beautiful scan by MapleRose.
One paper texture from Dioma.
No walkthrough because I didn't think it would take me that long D:
If you need the vector, ask me for it. I won't be submitting it individually because I see no point in doing so, but I'll gladly give it to you if you need it.
Dedicated to Kunie lovers. Hope you don't think I messed her style up too much. Critique is welcome and very appreciated <3 (not to say faves hugs aren't lol)
EDIT: here's a 2560 x 1600 version,
textureless and with more contrasting colors.
EDIT #2: another eye-popping special!

OMG WHAT DID YOU DO TO KUNIE :'(!
Lol, j/k.
This is fantastic, I love to see more wallers doing Kunie, and how each one of them reflect their own style 8)
And Grunge Kunie is such a fresh idea! Extending the circles worked perfectly. Text is nice, but I'd like to see
the title in a bigger font. It looks kinda shy there, while I think it should be the total opposite.
Wall moar Kunie <3
I dont love Kunie, but wallpaper is awesome ^^
I like the muted tones you used here... gives a different feel to the image/wall as a whole-- aged. That's the word. ^_^ Keep up the good work! (And the Kunie love!)
What an awesome Wallpaper. This is Sweet.
the grunge version is better... :D
I love the concept with multi-coloured circles floating about her head - Sort of like having your head in the clouds,
only here it's a rainbow-istic bliss of bubbles bubbles hehe. Sorry, feeling hyper, your wall has that effect. :3 I
personally prefer the textureless version, but the grunge does add a nice, faded effect which rather suits it as well~ I
like the 'eye-popping' version too with the happy bright colours.
Gotta love the delicate, smooth lineart. It's rather nice how it looks simple yet has a sort of depth - Me thinks
it looks like she's got a secret, a nice one but her lips are sealed mmhmm. :) On with the Kunie Kunbara fest!
Wahaha
Absolutely gorgeous wall. Just enough colour with tastefully arranged blank spaces. Kunie works her illustration like awesomeness XD Digging this!
I think both texture and textureless version works well. Though I kinda agree with you there, we're the minorities that loves grunging up scans that are meant to be crisp and clear, hahah!
