Tales of Vesperia Brave Vesperia

This is cute! Looks like the whole thing came from a magazine page....but it was edited...the white words to the side don't really go... or all the white words should stands out a little more....a better font? no...whtever

i like it...that's all that matters now

I like the overall idea of the picture and I really like the photo you choose for the background. But the wall is very busy and a few elements aren't blended together smoothly (i.e. the characters on the right side of the wall with the landscape on the left side).

SWEET!! TOV is such an epic game and the series is amazing. finally seeing people throw something out the vesperia. I really like it too, esp. the text. well done

not bad... but i wish there was a bigger size and a little better quality.....

this wallpaper is fantastic......but you need to brighter it a bit....

Woah..Looks awesome!!

It looks fine but I'm wondering that why the pictures left side has an green particular effect despite the right side? But good work keep it up :)

I hate to be a detractor, but I think this wallpaper needs a lot of work. Do not take this as a negative thing, please. I do not wish to insult you, I just want to offer some critique and advice if that is okay.

First of all, it is quite clear that this was made from two different images. The nice seam right down the middle of the image was my first clue, but it was not the only one. There are castles in the background of one and not in the other, and there is pixy dust stuff on one side that magically stops as it crosses over to the next. Also, the color does not quite mesh from one side to the next, a little color adjustment would be nice and it is quite easy to do in Photoshop. The sky was your best work. The color there seems to be consistent enough from one side to the next to be believable.

Now, honestly, I can not tell that you really did anything to these images other than blend them together at the seam and add some text and green vine brushes. I would hardly call this an original creation. That is something to keep in mind in the future. Do not start calling something yours unless you have actually done something to make it yours. Remember, other people put a great deal of time and effort into creating these images and we must treat them and their creations with the respect they deserve. You also have to credit your sources as well. I'm going to assume you did not create those vine brushes yourself, so who did you get them from? That needs to be either on the wall itself or in your description. In this case it is in neither. You should also credit the images you used, even if you found them right here on this site. Respect your sources.

A few things I would suggest for you:

1 : Put some time into learning the basics of Photoshop. There are many different tutorials online, both of the free variety and the higher quality subscription sort. I personally suggest Lynda.com. It is a video tutorial site with in-depth instruction on all sorts of programs by leading figures in the industry of design. Granted, it is one that requires a little of your money. I think it is $25 a month if I am not mistaken. But regardless, it is worth that $25 if you actually use it. If you want something free, the best I can suggest is the forums on Adobe.com and CreativeCow.net. You can ask questions and get professional advice on any topic. Both forums are well organized and have separate rooms for specific programs like Photoshop and Illustrator and will also notify you when your post gets a response, which does not take too long since both forums are quite popular. CreativeCow.net has a video tutorial section like Lynda.com, but I do not know how good it is having not used it myself.

2 : Get some feedback before submitting a wallpaper. AP has a great forum space specifically for that called Session Zero. Submit your stuff there before you put it up on the main site. That way you can avoid long posts like this in your comments and have the ability to correct things before it goes up for permanent download.

3 : Browse through other people's wallpapers, the ones that get rated B and higher, to get some ideas before you embark on a wall of your own. I am not saying to copy their ideas, I am just saying that browsing helps you see what is popular, how other people compose their walls, and what is considered to be good design. Do not limit yourself to AP either. There are great wallpaper sites all over the net, but the best I have found is a French site, Hebus.com, which has a massive selection of wallpapers going back over ten years. It might be in French, but it is easy to figure out. Just browse and you will get the hang of some of the vocabulary fairly quick. The wallpapers link is up at the very top of the site and is labeled "Fonds d'ecran" in blue. I suggest just browsing the "les populaires" section. That is an easy way to see what good designers are creating.

4 : Respect your sources! I know I said it once by I am saying it again. These are other people's creations you are borrowing for your own purposes. Do them the honor and respect of letting other people know that they did it and you did not. If you do not credit your sources it is called plagiarism, and that term is not limited only to writing. But, like in writing, if you find somebody's work that you love, you can still use it. Make it yours. That is the fun in walling. Make it something you can be proud to call your own. Respect your sources.

I hope I have not been too harsh. That was not my intent, but I am letting myself do this only because I see this is your first submission to AP, and because I genuinely want to help you do better in the future. If you have any other questions you can send me a message here on AP or contact me via email at caesar1280@hotmail.com. I would be happy to help with anything you need.

Have a great day and good luck in all your future walling efforts!

Nice wall!

I'm still waiting to buy this game.

I like how you composed the wall. It looks like it would be a big fold out picture in a strategy guide or game booklet.

Great job!

Great! I love TOV, too bad there isn't many TOV wallpapers here anyway, great wallpaper! +fave

ohhhh very cool

Hadn't noticed until I read Kiiru's post, but yes, the break is very noticeable. The green is too different between one side and the other. Would have been best to lighten it on the left to blend it, but I still like it, just because you don't see many Vesparia wallpapers out there.

Pretty nice!~ This game seems pretty cool and you made its justice with this awesome wallpaper of yours hehe. I love the effects and overall work! Keep it up. ^^

This is a very nice wallpaper.

Everything flows quite nicely.

Also, I like the text and the sort of glitter you have going on there.

Nicely done.

Great work with the nature background. However, font can be smaller so it won't steal the main role from the characters of vesperia

nice wallpaper

That! is something! Great wallpaper! Thanks for the share! Sad your laptop died, prices for thoses electronics gets lower though, even if the quality gets down too. Sorry for that lame comment, should had just said something about the wallpaper. Were you the one making all this? 'Cause the look of it is pretty nice or should I say, really nice! Lost just a bit of saturation though, usually Tales of Vesperia characters are more colorful, but like I said, it's just a suggestion! If you ever do something similar to this in the future, please pm me sir!

I just played the game.. and I love it.. thanx you for making this wallpaper =)

Okay, before I go on about how awesome this is, the s on 'it's' up on the second line of text looks like it's too far spaced out. Maybe it's just that typeface. Anyways, I really like this. The green effect you added on the left doesn't seem to mesh well with the right side, and I'd maybe scrap the leaves in the corners. However, I like the overall look and concept.

Wow this looks awesome, i was looking for the art of this wallpaper but this is better, thank you.

nice

Looks Very nice/

Font opacity is a little low, it would have stood out more and looked nicer if it looked a bit stronger and brighter. The background also looks a little cluttered despite the nice scenery. The landscape of the main scan also doesn't blend very well into the background, some more masking/feathering could have fixed that easily. But still really nice colours! ^^

Okay, I totally love this wallpaper!!! I love the text you chose and thought that it was placed nicely. I like the sort of faded look to the wallpaper, and I like the little leaves in the corner :) Such a great wallpaper! Thanks!

Loved this game!!
