** _What does a view from a high place remind you of?** The scenery you see from a high place is magnificent. Even an ordinary landscape looks beautiful. But a vision that's too large creates a boundary between you and the world. It's more correct for you to recognize the large world you see as the world you live in rather than the small space around you. But you can't feel that you're living in this big world no matter how hard you try.
Your reasoning, represented by your knowledge, and your experience, represented by your realization, will crash against each other. And eventually, you will lose yourself and confusion will begin. ** -Aozaki Touko** , Kara no Kyoukai 1: Fukan Fūkei _
Music: 空の境界 Original Soundtrack 7: 殺人考察(後) M41+42 Instead of being poetic, this file was actually named HUMANSOMETHING*.psd (note: caps) right up to the time the finished wall was sent to Jay (still bearing that noble title), and then a couple of hours later I had some coffee and decided to name it after the episode of KnK I was rewatching. and then, the PSD transformed itself into HUMANDERP.PSD
There is nothing very interesting about this, but there were some epic moments during the making of it: note: some of it is paraphrased cause my memory is awesome
[readmore] (a few days before deadline) Yina: Tsu, wanna run a dungeon? Tsu: sure o 3o and so we ran Coill Dungeon: the PSD on the other hand was at this stage
(two days before deadline)Warped Abyss dungeon, Emil Chronicle Online: a butterfly's explosion was so powerful the Gunner and Blademaster were killed standing upright, the Druid (healer) was flat on the floor and only the Necromancer survived.
(11h before the deadline) Yina: BLUR HER INSIDES! (I was painting water for the first time) Tsu: MY LEGS ARE FALLING ASLEEP (due to a defective and aging HP laptop I had to tilt the screen way back, ruining the colors, which led to me piling pillows on top of a desk and kneeling on them to see properly. Dangerous stuff.) [/readmore]
Thanks to @Yina (fellow hard worker), @otaku99 (for crits and dealing 16k damage on roboknights), Subaru (chainsaw ftw!), @storm-and-fire for inviting me to the Clash (at the time I was already flyin and Jay's secret agent >xD so I had to say no!) and @CrimsonCyanide for keeping me friendly company when I was (secretly) working on this. Sorry about that!

** no scans or stocks were harmed in the making of this thing **
I'd work on this some more, but some actual (as in:deadline and boss involved) work just came in with breakfast. While before I had time to play, I need to finish this srs business first.
Good luck and congratulations to everyone who joined AP Clash!

I CLAIM FIRST! WILL BE BACK!
Edit: Ok time to comment! Your appearance in the Clash is so awesome and formidable! Haha. I can't believe you can make such a detailed wall in such a time, it's really admirable. The girl looks very cute XD I really liked the purply and blue colors in the initial stages of the wall; I don't know if the deep red is right for the mood/her cute expression. Oh, oh, I thought how it was so cool how her eyes opened in the process pic. It's like... she woke up! XD
Anyway, congrats!!! Can't wait to see your next entry!

It makes so much more sense with your description. I wish you'd included it! I have a weird thought process, so I make different connections than others. D:
Since I commented on the Clash site you get this: Well made, I enjoyed the art in this a lot. :D

LoL @ Luna XD.
I always gotta admire you guys for doing 100% original work. It tells me just how powerful this wall was even without the music - the whole background scene you created felt so surreal and fantasy-like.
You are one hell of a secret agent >D. Congrats on the win!

I have to say that the wall draws your eye right into it. I really enjoy the use of color was well done.

Amazing and beautiful art! I love the colors and the atmosphere used here. I love the way the girl higher up looks and how the girl below her looks a bit unsure but still comfortable. Nice job. +fav

I always feel at awe when seeing original stuff. From the thumbnail the city looks amazing. Though I have to say that you´ve made the wall too grungy and dark and it doesn´t show that much. Also, I would have kept the colors and the brightness as it is in the 9th screenshot of your walkthrough. Still, this is greater than what I´ll ever do so I can´t not fav this.

I, as a person who whores grunge and contains half a gallery of the orange/red hue (the other blue...) will admit this is too grungey and red... BUT. ZOMG from scratch... It's pretty.

Hey! Congrats on winning! |(n_n)| I really love your OAAs + paintings. <3 Can't wait to see more from you. ^^v

Lol somehow the ghostly girl kinda makes me think that she's being abducted by aliens. xD
Anyway nice composition on the buildings. 8D Looks like you placed a lot of effort in making it. Quite a shame how it's not so visible due to the dark tones. Would've been nicer if it was slightly brighter so that the details on the buildings could be shown more clearly. Still love it anyway. < 3

Ahh.. truely awesome wallpaper - especially if one considers the fact that you didn't use any scans in it. The background is of high quality and supports the foreground nicely, while not being too pushy and letting the focus stay on the foreground (where it belongs). The foreground is a bit abstract and one could argue about the perspective - if there's any at all. The perspective doesn't match in itself - and it doesn't match with the background either. However: this is not a problem at all and it adds up to this mystic flair of the wallpaper. I also like the overall mood and coloring of this work and the girls do remind me of some characters I've saw somewhere, but definitely not enough to say that they are from a certain anime (none comes to my mind). It's more of a mix... the background reminds me a bit of texhnolyze for some reason, and the girl to the right reminds me a bit of Lain, while the one on the left reminds me a bit of Freya from Chobits (though a bit more evil due to the lack of her eyes).
Anyway: definitely worth your time and a favorite from me. +fav divStar.

Lol @ 'HUMANSOMETHING'. XD
I like the dark colors and the fact that this is all you and your imagination. The girl on the left creeps me out for some reason but it only adds up to the confusion and the sense of lost you described in the description.
Congrats and keep it up! :)
And do I see some custom PS leaf brushes? XD

Beautiful original art -- I always love seeing your style applied to any wall. The outcome is always lovely and quite surreal. I knew right away without even looking that this wall was yours :) Great use of hues -- and the perspective you've added to the piece really add a whole new level of technicality that should be acknowledged. Great work~

One thing that has always blown me away about your work is the sheer level of creativity that goes into each piece. I've always found myself looking forward to what you have planned next and curious about what you had planned for each WAR round that you were involved in. Maybe it had a lot to do with your beautiful painted style you approach walling with or maybe it had to do with the previously mentioned creativity, the likes of which is rarely seen. All it took is one look at your gallery and I became a rabid fanboy of your work. There was no going back. xD
While I understand that you feel you don't deserve some of the praise that I've given you over the time I've known you, I want you to understand that my words are of complete sincerity and honesty. I say what I do because I truthfully feel such when I gaze upon your work. I state this because I want you see where I'm coming from when I say that I personally feel this is your best wallpaper yet. Why would I say this when you feel more work needs to be done with it? Simply based upon the emotional content alone. The depiction of two characters expression two different emotional states really leaves a lot to interpret for the viewer and that is what I find so inciting about this wallpaper. It can be viewed in so many different aspects and approached from different angles as well and while this can cause confusion sometimes, I find it to be nothing less than brilliant.
The background is.. well, I'm just going to come out and say it. It is sex on a canvas, figuratively speaking of course. I'm not sure where the source of this came from, but it is nothing short of genius. From the gorgeous city setting, to the leaves and birds that seem to be slowly sifting apart as if they were made of ash, to the heavy atmosphere created by your choice of colors. The background alone makes me feel as if I'm in a lucid dream. However, what really blows me away is something I touched a little upon before and that is the city. Not only is the architecture well done, but the entire structure of the city is well crafted and very realistic. The fine details that went into everything around it and even the buildings in the distance alone would of sold me on this wallpaper. I can't express how much I absolutely love this background.
I had to hold myself back from commenting more, mainly because I was starting to ramble and repeat myself. In all my years of commenting, I've really been able to go on and on when I view a certain wallpaper, but not so much as when I viewed this. It's hard to find the proper words and there are so many things to touch upon and some of them I just want to keep talking about too that I'll just say I'm so glad you got involved in AP Clash and leave it at that.
