Sky / Cape I happen to be very fascinated and made the decision to challenge my self by creating the most realistic clouds possible. The brushes I used are dry brushes in the standard presets for photoshop. I chose them 'cause the so closely resemble the moisture particulate that clouds are made of. The clouds are hand painted with the brush tool and then they are applied with a gradient mask in the blending options. As the cape was vectored, and is sharper than the original image to give the wall a very epic perspective.
Mountains No, I did not paint the mountains I extracted them. I am working on developing the right technique to do so. But, I'm not that far yet. I did however clean them up a bit. They were all in the same focal range to start with so I have filtered them to create more distance. Also, I tweaked the color because it was extremely desaturated, and had lost it's vividness.

I started this one a few months ago. It is still a work in progress.Which happens to be all that I have done so far. I was inspired by this scan by �@harakiri

Effects in the wallpaper are really fantastic. They are drawing flignt of freedom in wonderful sunset.

Uhm, somehow I find the rocks near the bottom disturbing, imo it would have been nice if it was cleaner and more detailed. It would have been nice if the sword looks a bit disconnected but maybe thats just me. I love the background and the clouds though, overall it's a really good wall awesome job (XD)

+fav for you.

An epic wall it is... The clouds are looking pretty. To what I see, the way you blurred it makes it look distant to the sword, and it's good. The vector of the cape looks nice and sharp, but I think the sword is too sharp. Anyway, nice extracting the mountains and the creating clouds.

Wow, top rated today -- great job on this From what I remember in Session Zero it hasn't changed that much, but it's not a problem. It seems like you've made a lot of people happy (including me) in immortalizing Kamina. Congratulations on completing this wall :)

Not bad at all, but personally, the skies really bug me. I think they're far too blurry, and look rather unnatural.

I like the work on cloth and sword.. The effects make the whole image look mysterious. I like it. Keep it up. :)

I love the sunset background! It gives you a warm, peaceful feeling. The scenery is amazing. But the cape and the sword seems a bit too sharp, and doesn't really go together with the background. But the extracting the mountains has been done very clean! I can tell that you've put a lot of effort to this wall.

the rocks seem to filtered to fit in with the sword and cape maybe try some blurs or smudge
4 years, 3 days ago
I don't want to be mean but I do wonder how people consider this epic... Although the thumb looks cool and all, fullview is pretty disappointing. The elements don't merge, the blurry sky is really awkward compared to the sharp mountains and all the filters you've used on the scan are no good. You should have worked on it some more. Anyways, keep it up. (This is a huge spoiler btw so you might as well point it out for those who haven't watched the anime up to that point, myself included. "A Hero's Grave" as a title would have been better in that aspect.)

Well, as it's been here for a few days........... I'd say it is.
Good work Major, I see where a lot can be improved as Bern said but for your first acceptance this isn't bad at all, I like the sword and ground. Keep up the hard work.

Really and divinely epic and sad in the same time. It's just a sword but it's very symbolic. Kamina is a super hero and his will continues to live inside his red mantle.
