Uncreative wallpapers are uncreative wallpapers. D:
It's finally done. A painted wallpaper! At last, and I'm very proud of this. *noods*
I sort of went on 3 different phases while I was doing this wall: the first one, the vectoring, I worked pretty fast on the outlines and I made sure they looked decent before painting. The second one and maybe the longest: figuring out how to paint. Seriously. I totally forgot how to do it. I tried different things and they failed, I mean, I couldn't get the look I was aiming for. Then, I tried multishading, like a sort of vexel, it didn't came nice either. So, in the end, I got very frustrated and I kinda dropped the wall. I even did the Echo wallpaper in the meantime. After that, I tried SAI (Vitaamin: I still can't use that thing ;__;) I even looked for different tutorials on the subject but they weren't useful....or I didn't read them with the enough attention. *rolls eyes*. But then, I discovered that I really could paint and I give it a shot and I think I made it : D.
Well, it's CG....and it's Lulu...or depressed Lulu as Kitten called it xD and it's so lame that's a CG wall, but I just can't help it! I adore that scan.
I feel I should explain the title maybe...Viva la Vida as in the Coldplay song. The lyrics of that song fit so well with Lulu's story, and I'm not going to give any details since I don't want to spoil anyone. Just google the lyrics and think of it. And it's one of my favorite songs too <3.
Did you notice I didn't use a single texture or pattern, omg, really. This is the first non-patterned/textured wallpaper I have ever made o_o

What a beautiful wall!!!|(VcV)| The purple dominant colour is a good choice, it increase the dramatism of the scene, and stand the character out... Congrats for this awesome job! Add as fav, of course!

I’m a sucker for a man with the look of despair and especially when he is as evil as they come, which is why I’m cheering for Lelouch’s ravishing appearance and extremely distinguished revised features. His classically expression is very dramatic and attractive. I love the feel of this wallpaper it is simple, fresh and totally sophisticated. I must bow to you Naomi-chan, truth be told, because this is smoothness at it's best. I love every little detail in the wallpaper and it looks wonderful on my desktop so much appreciation for the hard work and the excellent wallpaper!

Like you said, I adore the scan! |(VcV)| I love how you actually follow the theme of the CG artwork: you gave it the painted look than the pristine HQ work that computer effects do.
I wish I could blow this up and make it a poster on my wall; it's beautiful !! Thanks so much for a great wall!

The evil overlord is watching and waiting... It may be his future of destiny or hope? Purple colors in the wallpaper are flowing his mystery in his deep mind.

xD This is kinda funny; the first time I heard Viva la Vida was right after I watched Code Geass and I said "OMG it's Lulu!!"; so I agree with the title~~
I'm so glad you went back to this; everything's beautiful! The painting is really, truly amazing. Wonderful colors.

So pretty! The colors are very relaxing. I like all the purples~ And it's simple, although it still took a lot of work. ^^ The simplicity of the bg makes you focus on Lulu. :) Although I'm not a CG fan, I really love your wall. The painting is so nice! And yup, no textures. XD I can rarely manage that either, lol. The outlines are perfect. I hate doing the outlines the most, so congrats to you on making them quick, yet still neat. ^^ I love his hair color. It's all just so wonderful. *faves despite not liking the show* It's just THAT good of a wall. :3

I agree with that title you chose, Viva La Vida. I wonder if Coldplay watch Code Geass or not? They're probably be surprised to see how an anime's story fits with one of their best song LOL
About the wall, it's absolutely gorgeous! You really did a great job on the painting~~
Faved!

When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was just another Lelouch's wall... I'm glad I full viewed it. And I have to say that it was the title that really caught my attention. I love that song. xD It isn't just another wallpaper. It's one of the few that really shows Lulu's essence. It's so peaceful, so soft... I don't like purple that much, but I absolutely loved your wall. Keep up the great work. ^^

8)EThis wallpaper is a breath of fresh air. Now here’s a man who believes in making a statement no matter what his situation maybe. Case in point? This bold dramatic out cry for either C.C. or Suzaku, it is both visually confusing and intriguing. I would have to describe this scenery as classic and or conservative because of Lulu’s stature and atmosphere, the two are extremely ravishing and well defined.
The painting is admirable and the vector is marvelous. The colors are of an amiable disposition. Wow, thank you for evoking these emotions of appreciation, your work is incredible and I look forward to seeing more great things from you. Saved and faved!

This is easily in my opinion going to be the next popular style to succeed vector. It combines both the sharp/clean elements of vector along with the smooth/flow aspects of brush. Like you said "uncreative wallpapers are uncreative wallpapers" but still this does feel somewhat uncreative to me, the background is really lacking, I mean just a smoke filled area? But i can see why you would go in that direction since it most of been torture just dealing with the original artwork. However, it just is missing something maybe a castle on pillars of sand. (XD)

I love the color choices, and the painted look is a good touch, to a straightforward wallpaper. :3

The colouring is excellent, I love the soft palette. Everything is just about perfect; the pose and detail are spot-on and the line work is really nice too. His hair may be just a little too rich of a purple for my taste but that's probably just me.

Can you feel the agony of Lulu? He looking at this wallpaper made me remember Lulu's pain and suffering in the anime.. I'm going to watch it again when i have the free time.

Wow this is gorgeous! I'm pretty picky about my wallpapers but this is fantastic. Excellent job with the colors as they really do make Lelouch stand out. It may be "uncreative" but sometimes the simplest wallpapers are the best ones. Thanks double for providing it in such large format.

SO COOL WP, the image cover of the frts soundtrack of the R2 Season. I like the pain expression, so cool, but sadly.
