Excelent wall! i like that water-colour effect and the character design. This must go to my favorites!
Artist Comment
I have decided to create a new term to describe my work: vexture, or a textured
vector, which can be used to describe a fair number of my works.
This vexture features Kino from Kino no Tabi. (Stop groaning! I'm obsessed and I admit it!) The image comes from a
picture of the Japanese rerelease DVDS; I believe this is disc 5 of 6. The original image was about 200x300 pixels large but I just absolutely love the pose and the
disc itself won't be released until until the 16th, and I don't have enough money to buy all the Japanese
discs as imports. So I had to make do. Thankfully, vectors resize beautifully.
Since the original has her standing in a pool of water, so does this wallpaper. Clouds and birds were off a variety of
stocks from Stock Exchange. I especially like the bird stock, which
came from an image named "People of the Sky". Fits so perfectly with the bird imagery that's present in
the series itself. Otherwise I distort-filtered up some water and added lots and lots of texture. The idea was to give
it an old canvas painted feeling that I've put on a bunch of my other Kino walls.

Ahh~ you even get your own word! XD That's why you have rips <lol> (apart from the fact that there are fools in this world, of course).
Nice image, indeed. :) She looks cheeky... an almost foreign expression, as far as previous piccies go. XD And very shapely. Ahh~ thanks for sharing it with us. :) Beautiful painted look, too. I love that canvas-texture overlay. *hats off to another fine job*

I love your "vexture"! It's really well done and used here. If I didn't know 98% of your works were vectors I wouldn't have known this one was also one of them. ^^; Good job!

LOL Wow! Vexturing! ^_^' I'll bet that will be the new style for 2005, Tama-san! XD Very, very unique canvas-style wall, I never seen anything quite like it! :D The scan is so cool and the BG is well designed cleverly I might add! The birds are a nice addition, give off some depth on the wall! You should make a patent for this new type of style! i'll support your "Vexturing" 100%! XD

Nice texture, and it reminds me of those watermark-like painting. The concept and the excutation of it was very good, I want to see what other wall you can do with this style. A darker look might also be good. good job.

This new style that you're trying seems to have been a success. The water color effect is dazzling. (btw, I checked out that link, and that new young Kino picture on DVD 2 is just.... O_O)

Another amazing creation here. I got linked to this page from your other wallpaper, 'Kino: On a Wing and a Prayer'. They are both equally great. I definitely like the colours for this one, and the background composition is great too. No complaints here, as it would go great with my turquoise Windows theme. ^^
