Late night entertainment... but for who? Touhou Wallpaper

This might be my last contribution in quiet a while, so I thought I'd really give it my all this time. There's actually a lot of things that didn't fit that I had to leave out. Either way, at first this was going to become two separate wallies but I decided to merge the ideas and mysteriously everything fell into place magnificently.

The idea was... to make a battle in true Touhou-spirit with a lot of fancy effects and more bullets than you could ever count. After a while I scrapped the idea and tried a different approach and used a little more "subtle" effects (I call that subtle?). It turned out for the better though and I kept on stacking layer after layer of detail and effects, making modifications as I saw fit along the way. I actually wanted everything to be a slight bit brighter, but for some reason I always end up with really black silhouettes and striking colorful effects. I like it, and it is flashy - but can be quiet tiresome to the eyes. Also the blackness around helped me really focus on what was important - the effects, characters and the ominous atmosphere - which was really what I wanted to convey the most. Either way enjoy. Below are some images of development stages - it didn't start off pretty...

First attemptand then...it became like this.I think I have more layers than Sakuya has knives...

No Gensokyoans where harmed during the making of this wallie. Oh and for those of you guys and gals who are into Touhou - who would win? Remy or Reimu? (I have a feeling I shouldn't have asked that, but too late)

How's that for fireworks by the way Suika?

Hmmm, I'm not sure who would win because I'm not familiar with Touhou... but from the looks of the picture, I'd say the girl wielding the huge glowing scythe would win lol

Great theme on this wall. The idea is original and refreshing from most walls. The sense of duality on some random night-time showdown is very cool and your progress of creating the battling atmosphere works great with this wall. The glows are very nicely placed and the little elements (like the bats, the glowing sparkles in the night sky, the motion-blurred leaves), they all work great together and show how much time/dedication/thought you put into this piece. Great job~ ^^

Hmmm When I saw the preview of the wallpaper I thought that It didn't stand out but once I downloaded the high resolution version I saw the minor details that made it a good wallpaper.

Nice work!

For sure Reimu wins the battle... That's a fact...

And yes! the details are visible when you download in high res... :S

ps. in the magic circle of reimu, why in arabic?

The interesting, but "plain" style scenery contrasts greatly with the epic characters. However, it's all well-composed, and there's even that mysterious person far in the back. Love it!

It's a really great Touhou wallpaper - without a doubt. But there are things that don't fit well.
For example: the stairs seem smaller than but one foot of Reimu. Then: the glow around Reimu might be a little less visible. The glow of the magic circlet in contrast - might have more glow to it and not be 100% equally visible - besides you might want to fit it to the ground, so that it seems as if it is "projected" onto the ground. I also miss the refractions/reflections of the light. I know that simple grass doesn't reflect much, but those things are really bright - so you might want to add hints in the over all ambiance that those sparkles exist (except you say that this magic isn't "reflected" or anything, because it's magic).

This wallpaper does have potential, but it is not perfect (well - who is perfect anyway ^^). Good wall though :). Please let me know if you improve any of the things I mentioned above.

wow those effects you put in are really awesome! It's really nice to see the added effects around the floating shadow (sorry I don't know anything about Touhou). I like the bg and the effects around the frilly-dress girl......though in my opinion the symbol on the floor and the faraway shadow sitting on the erm...gate in the bg (that thing, I don't know what it is called) looks a bit out of place...but overall good job :)

Nice, I really like this battle scene, I mean Reimu's and Remy's battle would be just like this. Suika in the BG is the best, I guess this is the first wall with the little oni here. I think Reimu would win for sure, but even if she'd lose, Suika would avange her.

I do not feel the feeling that is dark. It is wall paper showing images of Toho well. Good job!

What a really gorgeous wallpaper! I've been looking for something that was Touhou related to use, and this is just wonderful. The feeling is really like what you get from the games- an epic battle just about to take place. Will definitely be using straight away.

Very clean and clear. Nevertheless, it would be great if there are more details. Good work.

Great work on the effects surrounding both characters. Suika in the background is a hilarious addition. I feel like the background could be more than just silhouettes, but it's not that big of a deal.

Wow, really cool! I love the way the danmaku looks, and the magic circle beneath Reimu. Great job!

love the image, especially as Reimu has an anime sweat drop because Remillia is using her Gugnir during the "Star of David" spell card(yes I'm a nerd lol). I can also see Suika in the background on the shrine gate, presumably drinking sake.

Reimu would likely to win, albeit with great difficulties. It is a given that the main character could beat anyone in the story. The dark colour is astounding. The only thing I find disappointing is that I cannot see their respective faces. Are they having fun or is this some kind of new incident?

Nice wallpaper! I like how you did the little details in the background. The moon is also really good! I like how its fading behind the clouds! Great work!

The right side of this is a little lacking in subject and its a little distracting to the eye, but I really love how you did this one. The trees in the background are eye catching because they don't have much dimension to them, but I really like that. Colors are beautiful.

Great concept for the wallpaper, the red-purple combo fits very well to both night scene and Touhou itself. I'm not entirely sure about the leafs on the very right, but the rest seem be appealing from every aspect.
