Hi guys, after quite a while I've finally completed this wallpaper. This took longer than I ever expected as I kept running out of ideas. I just completed watching the series last week, and being honest with myself here, this anime is better than Gundam 00. Although there are various parts that can prove to be really confusing, it always leaves me in suspense whereas the other animes I've watched before explains everything thoroughly to me that it never sets me thinking. Anyway, to get to the point, I decided to make a wall based on Code Geass. I couldn't find a good scan to render from so I just googled around and finally came across this: http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/337583
Having absolutely no experience with vectoring at all, I decided to patch the unwanted areas up with the paint brush. From then onwards, it's pretty straightforward as I work my way through completion. Overall, making this wallpaper took me over 8 hours, including alot of brainstorming on what scans I should use as there isn't a variety of usable ones to pick from.
C&C will be really appreciated.

Unbalanced is not quite the word I'm looking for, but what I'm going to be using until I can figure it out...
The characters are kind of off being that small and not having their lighting changed in any way. (The wallpaper lacks a light source in general.) Overuse of brushing/renders and an overall incoherent feel... No sense of depth.
Not exactly the right positions to be in "versus" for the mechs...

I'm going to be blunt and go with what @puppychow (above) had to say about this wallpaper.
I can see the kind of "feel" you were going for when checking out the scan you used, however you just didn't quite get it right.
Indeed, there is no sense of depth in this wallpaper, perhaps because of the rather bland looking background or the positioning of the mechs. (which could have been improved on)
Points for the brushwork (I love the whole "power oversurge" style brushing you did, mind if I ask what brushes you used?) but the awkward layout is really what prevents this from making the top wallpapers gallery.

Not exactly one of the better wallpapers. However, props for the electrical surge. Also I have to agree with puppychow16 and thebigfatwhale have said. The BG is simply too bland.

It look great .Nice job |(VcV)|

Hooray for another Guren wall! And oh, it comes with a Lancelot -- nice~ I like how you used the abstracts to create the energy atmosphere around the Guren's and Lancelot's firing weapons but I'm a bit disappointed because the scene looks a little too crowded by the addition of Kallen and Suzaku. Quoting what puppychow16 said earlier, the reason it lacks a light source because of the addition of the two. For one, they totally draw the attention off the mechs, therefore ultimately confusing the idea of what the wall is all about. However overall I'm thankful that someone made a Guren + Lancelot wall; it brings back memories of their epic battle~
FUKUSHAHADO FTW! (n_n)-b

i can see what you were trying to do but the background seems to be on the simple side. Overall good effort
4 years, 3 weeks ago
like what others have saidd above, and i believe you can do better than that on the background. that said, the lighting aren't quite as even as expected. for example theres 2 bright areas on both sides, and the mid portion isn't too dark to look right. everything just seem to be part of each other now..
that being said, i still think you did a fantastic job on this ;]

Good effect, but I think the guren's head should be visible. Well just my opinion, overall nice wallpaper. Good job!
4 years, 3 weeks ago
It's a cool one. Like the effect you used on Guren. Very nice!
4 years, 3 weeks ago
this is really unbalanced there's a cluster on the left i think it would b even better if u just took out the cahracters and leave on the the machines
4 years, 3 weeks ago
I really have to comment on how awesome the effects are - seriously, lol. Even though the composition isn't exactly perfect, props on the effects! ; )

Thats a really sick design you put on the mechs. Looks a lot different from the anime, but thats a good thing. Keep it up!
4 years, 3 weeks ago
Wow.... Do I even have to state what's good with this wallpaper... Just look at it!!!

Blinding effects! I like the other wallpapers of GunD that you have made more than this one since it's a bit plain. However, it's still a master piece.
4 years, 3 weeks ago
This looks awesome, really wish I can do this lol!

Awesome mecha wallpaper. Love the details and lighting you have added. Really great work.

Very nice, it really catches the eye.

The Lancelot seems a bit weird in position as though it's not really in air, but rather grounded... but it's still definitely gorgeous. The glow and colour really do stand out and overall, it just looks pretty :)
4 years, 3 weeks ago
(9+_+) jeje very cool man. It's a little too simple but i loved the lighting effects.
4 years, 3 weeks ago
I love it ccj. awesome use of the gurren and lancalot
4 years, 3 weeks ago
Great effects, bland background
Good nonetheless... maybe try adding a few more elements to the background... I don't really mind the positioning of the characters, but the bg really needs a few more prominent stuff.
4 years, 3 weeks ago
Wow CCJ , you still roxxors my soxxors! Very pretty colours and I actually like the perspective. :D
4 years, 3 weeks ago
Brushwork needs more work. It's kinda confusing and doesn't spike any interest. The background doesn't say much and mechs seem like their only emitting aura.
4 years, 3 weeks ago
holy crap m8...how'd u make this?

This is a little late, but as of now I can't find a Guren wall to top this one so for now this will be it Guren FTW! (n_n)-b +
4 years, 2 weeks ago
I'm guessing this a different version than the one people were calling 'bland', but either way I really love this wallpaper (Fav'd!).
I'd also like to point out what some call 'bland' others call 'simple'. No need to cover 100% of the screen with color or something.

Wow. That is a phenominal piece of work. Great job. Nice. I love it.

great wall. im sure you put lots of work into it and i think all that work shows really well
by having nice details :)
i gotta say i thought it was gundam when i saw the picture at thumb size scale :)

VERY HQ.. the color need to improve somehow.. keep it up! 8)E this is already good.
3 years, 10 months ago
This one isn't as nice as your 00 set. The effects clash with the scans and make it feel "too" chaotic. It could also use better balance as well, there is too much empty space.

Very nice colours, i love the contrast between the guren and the lancelot.
Well done.

While it did take me a few seconds to find the HEAD of the guren i think u did a great job on the wall. even though everyone says it lacks depth and could use more work it feels like the background really exemplifies the emptiness of space and the battle between the two mechs. I like how it totally stands apart from the battles in the anime itself and it looks like kallen's going to annihilate the lancelot with her own version of the "BURNING FINGER" (9+_+)

Yes, the background can be a bit bland if you look at it, but the thing that really stands out for me is the brushwork and the colors. That alone, for me, makes this a good wallpaper. Nice job!

One term to describe this wallpaper is EPIC. You did a great job also the mechs looks amazingly great. The aura they pull off is amazing. You did a great job. I can tell you spent hours on this a it really did pay off. The contrast is great. The Lancelot looks amazing and Kallen's mech looks equally awesome. In contrast to Lelouch and Suzaku rivalry, the mechs themselves are consider rivals because they battle many times before. One of the best mechs pictures I've seen. Good job.

Great wallpaper! Even if the background may appear bleak, I like how it further exemplifies the battle between the Guren and the Lancelot. Nice job with the effects as well. Well done on this wallpaper.
