Black Cat Midnight Stroll

ok, first things first. IF you download the file here and compare it to what you posted in session zero you will see a lot of artifacting. This is beacuse the file is over 800kb, which is way too large. We reccommend people use "save for web" in photoshop and set the quality bar to about 70%. That will ensure a reasonably sized image, with little to no artifacting. You can then use edit and re-upload it to replace the file here.

In terms of the wall, the use of the simplistic noise filter cheapens it a little. The noise filter is one of those very obvious filters and should generally be used in conjunction with other things to make it seem less obvious. Here I would recommend searching for either a texture or a stock photo of a macro shot of somethign with a nice texture in order to give it more life and depth.

The other thing I would say is avoid using the light filters like that on the "photo" picture. Again, they're very obvious, and you can create somthing much more interesting and unique yourself. To do something like that what I tend to do is draw a light yellow circle and then use transfrom (look in the menus for differnt types of transform - perspective, etc) to reshape the circle.

Once you've got something that looks right you can rasterize it and duplicate the layer a bunch of times. By experimenting with the blur and blending modes (overly, soft light, etc) you can create something that looks like a light effect.

In order to create the shade, I do a similar process, but this time a use a layer where I've done a gradient. You can adjust the gradients so that you get a round gradient pattern, but the inside is clear and the outside is a dark grey shade. Agin, transform this to reshap it and then use blending modes to get something interesting.

Hope that helps you :).

Not bad,it seems a little plain,but that's ok.It came out pretty well to me.I really want to look into this series,but I want to read the manga more,I like the artwork.

Good wall^^! It is not your best one but I like it. The pic looks interesting and the colours have an average quality. All in all I would say:"You can use it for a desktop background^^."

woW.. that's awesome... i like it very much^^ u matched the scan well with the background... i'll add as my fav=P

he is so cute with the bell

Thanks for the sharing! ^_^

i like the main maroon/pinkish color you used in the background, it really accenuates the "Black Cat" logo.

SWEET!

Simply UR Good

First of all...the Black Cat anime series ROCKED! I personallly loved it, 2nd...THIS WALLPAPER IS AWESOME! I love it, I love Train and the way you portrayed him here...keep it up! ^_^

I like this wallpapper very much. I like your background and the picture of Train. Thank you for sharing your wallpaper.

Hmm, quite a simple looking wallpaper... To think that you have to do this six times... Maybe you can add something else to this? But i'm not any good with making wallpaper myself, so i can't tell much... >.< But i like the scan you choose, and the concept is ok. It just looks a little too plain for me...^^; Well, it's still good though, thanks for sharing it

Good job!

OMG, He looks so handsome, he is the best, also he is unbeatable. One of my favorites character in ACG~ Thank you for sharing this wallpaper~

He look so cool with tat wall!But I think it's abit too plain..should make him taking his gun..tat will look fantastic with it.Oh well, he still look cute with the plain wall^^

love his outfit :)

You did REALLY well on the transparent part. And the colors are simple, which go well with the overall of your wonderfully designed wallpaper. Plus.... Train looks really hot in that scan. XD The wall is merely slightly blurry, just slightly. (on the sides) Everything else is very good though. Keep up the good work kudasai. :D

aww his smile is charming....the background goes nicely...well done

To Gain is To loss To Fight is To be a man

Nice wallpaper. Black Cat is amazing. ^^ Nice background and image. *thumbs up* The background is a bit blurry. But that does emphasize on the mysteriousness of Train, and also let us focus on the image. Nice one! ^^

Smart picture! I like the composing and the colors. I also must say that the lightness appeare well and that the mood is well done.

Nice Job! =D Train-nii is amazing in that image and I like so much the Photo effect and the background color cause it's not very lightful!^^ And I like the position of the write "Black Cat" too!^^ <3

It`ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccccccccccccceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This is a nice wallpaper, i like it. Great work. :)

black cat ^_^ cool wallpaper thaanx

I really like this anime thus this wall is also great. The main part and background...although they're not too competition, they're nice, especially the main part. Well, I think if you put Train with Saya in another bright background, it'll absolutely wonderful. But obviously, this wall is so cool and you make Train much core cooler than the way he's as usually.

train pwns =D

Beautiful and crisp look of Train and the background looks pretty cool too. Nice color choices.

This is just so cute and adorable!!!

great great!
