Another Kino vector from your Kino vector specialist. I found this pencilboard scan off of Cynical126's Shitajiki site and decided to go for it. I'm really fond of more feminine-looking pictures of Kino. They're quite rare, and they seem to show another site, a vulnerable, human side that is usually hidden behind her bland and non-judgemental demeanor.
I went for a pure-toned image without a single bit of blur or softness. I really liked my FMA comic-book-cover styled artwork, and wanted to try and use that here. Plus, it's fun doing something so utterly not a style you'd see in a wall in top submissions. No sparkles, no feathers, wings, moons, clouds, sunsets, trees, grass, girls with really big busts, birds, or even the slightest of special effects. Just a wood floor, the light from a window, and a person. I think this image is more powerful in its starkness, and to vexture it would dilute its beauty.
The entire wallpaper was made in Illustrator; Photoshop was used merely to add the text logo I've used on 25 of my 27 Kino walls.
The title was inspired by the .hack song "A Stray Child" and I decided to use it because she looks more vulnerable and innocent in this picture than any I've seen (except perhaps for that scene in episode 2.)

    Simplistic in form and design but the effort is inconcievable because its that good, just the work i like from the Vector princess of walls... Love the comic book style and a great job as usual! :) fava+

    *Edit: This kind of wall almost dwells in the style of grunge/ vector but it isnt because its in the middle of both so thats something unique i find from this... o_O

    wow~
    really simplistic and nicely done vector.
    but I think even vector walls need some shadowing? ^_^"
    still, nicely done vector~ ^_^

    Ooh~ non-vextured. :) A good call, I think. The only thing I could think to say is maybe move the logo an inch to the left? I got a bit confused if it was following the floor's grain or sunlight at first. XD But, hey. That's just personal. Like has been said, I really love the clean contrast. And.. if it was anyone else, that pose would be 'sensual' but I think it's really sweet that that word doesn't fit Kino at all. :) Great choice of piccy. Nice job.

    Highly effective! The muted green colour and the dramatic window lighting give it a very 'film noir' and gritty feel! Very impressive :)

    Sweet original work as usual, Tama :)
    Lovely unique composition, and eccentric coloring tones, makes this one unique and one-of-a-kind wall.... ;)

    this vector work is really something different. a part of her bad on the right side gets realy jaggy but other then that you did an awesome job on this.

    You get extra points for a unique design, Tama, but staring at this bg for too long makes my head hurt somehow. @_@

    simple but very dark wallpaper. I like how you got the window and light reflection to highlight the character according to its reflection
