Laughter is Essential

I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Atelier Rorona was finally coming stateside for the PS3, after being out in Japan for a bit and looking like there wasn't going to be any possible US release. Round 6 of WAR did not help with this in the slightest.

I'm going to be completely honest, when I saw this on your website and when I saw some of the other submissions, I thought that you had used a completely different character. That is honestly the highest compliment I can pay to you, because you have altered her enough and changed so many things that she is completely different and unique. Especially being that you changed her cute-yet-fan servicy styled outfit and most important of all, her face. I can only begin to express how incredibly creativity it is to alter a character so much and approach it like that.

I can definitely see the influence from Heart464 as well in this wallpaper. With the lovely accents of red and yellow to the beautiful blue background itself. It's great when you can take inspiration from something and give it a personal twist to it. I also really like the text as well. You can't help but to smile seeing all of that and even though I can't read it all, I certainly think that the creativity is there and it wouldn't be the same without it. Of course I don't need to comment on how creative I think it is when you work your signature into your work.

It was so refreshing to see an entry like this and so nice to see such influence from someone who has disappeared from the walling scene as well. With an excellent choice of color and amazing creativity, there is no wonder as to why this wall found it's way onto my desktop.

Lol, yep, I can definitely see Heart's style here. :D

I love the title and the colors, though I think a more lighter blue would add up even better to the whole 'chipper' theme. But that's just me nitpicking. XD

Nice job; definitely makes you smile when you look at her. :3

This is sooo adorable...I love the dotty textures and the typography^^ nice work as always^^ + fave

I love the colors, the halftone and the text and I also love heart464's style so this is definitely a fav.

This is so cute and it really makes you smile! I love love love the colors in it as well! +fav!

beautiful! The colors, fonts and vector loved me! puts a smile on my face to see this wall! good job!

• Fav! (^ 3^)

HALFTONE LOVE. <3 Love the overall outcome of this wall. ^^v

I love it. This wall really makes one smile. It gives off positive reaction looking at it. That aside, I agree that a lighter blue would be appropriate for the theme about laughter but then, again I I would personally prefer this shade of blue because it's cooler to the eyes if use as wallpaper (for which the purpose it was made). Lighter blue might strain the eyes. The halftones are really interesting to look at. They give added element to the entire artwork. The same goes with the sketchy strokes. The minimal use and choice of colors are just but fitting.

This wall makes my day! +fav

I love the color dispatch, the text is really cute too <3

Since it's drastically different from the original apparently it's harder to grade something that deviates from the normal and is creative (though all art is in at least the smallest of ways).

For some reason even with the smile and joy of the picture the blue, probably the shade, personally gives me a feel of the "blues", but otherwise it fits with the style you intended, and therefore nice job!

Its a pretty interesting look give it a more lovely look to it. |(n_n)|

Very simple but its awesome! <3

very cute and unique colour design XD

Love your typography. This deserves much more than just a B. :(

I just fell in love with that pattern!!! I wanna the same one P(T_T)

and damn, that sketchy style is SUPER AWESOME <3 <3 <3

faving of course!

For awhile I thought Akashanosferatu was back to walling. this must mean your work is that wesome.

This is very cute. I really like the free and sketchy style you have going here. :)

This is awesome. I love the colour and design.

Makes me smile

awww ... that is so very cute! I like the idea with the words in english an japanese ^.^ good job

I'm not gonna lie a bit odd cuz the blue contradicts the mood in her face. but still job well done :)

This wallpaper is really nice and well done, I think you did a wonderful job! I love it!

I really like style of this wall is nostalgical and cheerful. Colour combination suits it well, truly great choice! Keep it up! ;)adds as favourite

It was even hard to recognize the character for me, but I like how the results differes from her usual herself. Compared your complex walls is simpler, but it almost looks like some epic audio cover, so a lot highfives for this piece from me. +Fav
