Sword Art Online Wallpaper: Can’t Forget, Can’t Let Go

Artist Comment

If I remember correctly, I did this wallpaper around 9-10 weeks ago (yes, it’s quite old; posting wallpapers is not something I do that much anymore). SAO II was still airing at that time. Anyway, I did this wallpaper because I was personally enjoying the series (I usually wall series that I enjoy). I really liked Shino, so I made it around her character (no Asuna or Kirito, sorry... too many wallpapers of those 2 already).

In all honesty, I was between walling this series, Haikyuu!, Aldnoah.Zero, or Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. I was having a hard time picking which one to wall, so I had a close friend of mine pick one for me randomly. Who knows, I might try to wall one of these other series in the close or far future. If I do, I’ve the feeling that I might end up choosing Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. That series is love, in my opinion (***stares at avatar***).

Wallpaper Assets, etc:

There were a lot of neat screenshots that I wanted to wall for this series. I ended up choosing a couple from the ED#1 that I thought would make a good desktop wallpaper (for both; people with tons of icons, and those with close to none (like myself)).

Here are the screenshots I used and the way I stitched them together. Again, they were taken from the ED#1 of the series (which I love, btw):

I kept the “same” abstract BG style because I like it. Same with the overall color scheme (purple + blue = win). Added some textures here and there since I love using textures.

Instead of using the same style of vectoring I general do for the outlines of the characters, I decided to have fun with it and do something a bit different (what’s the point of making this stuff if you are not going to have fun with it, really). Outlines were done so they looked “rough and sketched”.

Yes, it is a simple wallpaper, but I like it. The fact is that I really don’t have the time nor drive for more complex and time consuming stuff than what you see here, so....
