When I first saw this, my reaction was 'Oh, this looks very pretty!' but then I looked a bit harder and
thought that this looked oddly familiar
somehow. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the background in the night version of this wallpaper is practically
identical to the one you used in this one (http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/532216) - besides the vectored
character and those splashes of water, everything looks the same as in that one - the clouds, the sky, the water, even
the moon is the same; the only thing you omitted was the island. The sunset version also looks familiar. And not just in
this wallpaper; I've noticed that in pretty much all of your recent wallpapers - same clouds, same water, same
bushes, rocks, mountains, buildings, flowers, trees etc...
I don't want to sound rude but looking at this, I have to say it's no wonder you're so fast in making
wallpapers when all you do is vector the new character and slap on background elements you've already made and used
before. If the rest of us did that, we'd be making 2-3 wallpapers a week, as well.
I think you should use that potential and imagination of yours (because you do have one) and put more effort into making
your backgrounds more original and creative instead of just blatantly copy/pasting the elements you've used before
and only changing some colors on them. I also think you could definitely use a new approach to techniques or styles; do
something abstract or try typography, vexeling, extractions, old school techniques, the possibilities are endless,
really. If you continue this way, I'm afraid all your wallpapers will start to look completely the same (as
they've already have) and that's not exactly a good thing. :/
Other than that, I like the way you vectored the details on the kimono and obi. But, as usual, the lighting makes no sense since she's too bright and there are no additional moonlight/sunset highlights on her skin, hair and clothes. The orange overlay on the sunset version is also not necessary at all since it only ruins the overall colors...Keep practicing.
