Yoshitaka Amano The Path of Treasure

O.O,

WOW!! HERE HERE FOR PIRATE THEME!!! I'm absolutely amazed with all the DETAIL O.O...SUGOI! The parchment looks pretty darn realistic. I have but one question. Did you create all that from scratch or did you use stocks? Either way you made this wallpaper AWESOME. Great work ;).

Have a nice day.

first...YOU SPELLED PIXELATED WRONG YOU WHORE! second, i'm not a fan of all of amano's work either. actually, it's his more popular stuff that i don't really like. his more realistic stuff, and his more pop stuff is what i prefer, although i do really like the scan. now, fr an actual critique. i give you a lot of credit for coming up with a unique idea that avoided extraction (since you were bitchin about it from day 1 xD ) don't blame you though. it's far from easy. the pirate theme is cool, and always fun! (like my storyboarding project...) and you did a nice job at keeping it interesting. overall it's a nice job, but you've done much better. now go do something fun!

I'm impressed at how you managed to stick within the rules and still come up with something novel. I think desktop photomanipulation is your thing, yes sir! When I look at it, I can't help thinking dirty spyglass for some reason. And hourglass. This reminds me of those shots of *ahem* you were showing me... hahahahahaha! I think I better stop before my comments get derivative.

lol is that polish zloti? it's worth like 0.001 cents XD not real treassure after all

wow...this is...weird. And I mean that in the best possible way. I really do like the antique look.

I love how you managed the details and textures. Lack of characters for me, but it is good in its own way. Good work.

Wow! I love the pirate theme! I'm not that much of a fan of Amano's works either but you did a great job on this wallpaper! It is eye-catching and totally my style! Keep up the great work!

Hey I really like this, I'm definetely feelin' the pirate thing. A dagger is all it needs. A sweet pirate dagger stuck into the table. LOL you should have given one of the characters an eye patch. XD XD ok one minor problem I see - it looks like the pillar on the scroll extends out into the rolled portion. That's definetely unrealistic. x) I give this an Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrh rating! (R-rating, get it.) >.>;;

its cool, well done (sort of) and although i can appriciate the idea behind it, I can't quite see how the scan fits in a pirate theme (which Im also having trouble distinguishing). Also, the blending of the scan needs some work, it doesn't feel like its drawn on the parchment at all, not to mention that part of it goes over the rolled part..whats up with that? Also the idea of letters, images and random items on a table with a slight sepia tone over it, is over used...noting that I've used it too, haha. Overall its a good wall, but its just not convincing enough.

WOW, definitely different from any wallpaper I've seen! It's creative of you to come up of an idea like that. That's cool. I am admiring the pirate theme. It matches well with the picture. The whole theme is excellent. The coins at the edge is awesome. :D The parchments added to the wall made the wallpaper a delight to see. Seeing something different is definitely a plus, and this is wayy different (in a VERY good way.) Overall, your effects were explicit, and they sure do make it look like one of the greatest wallpapers made. Very talented!

Great, great job! + faves [:

This is beautiful. I don't really get the pirate part, though. I'd also think that the Amano art should be in sepia-tone or line-drawing...color like that is pretty hard to achieve in parchment ^_^

really nice wp, very thought out. it's put together perfectly. the old paper effect is great and the characters give just the right amount of color contrast. did you make the stairs look 3-d like that or was it part of the scan? amazing work! :)

My only crit is you could've made the scan looked sketched in instead of faded in, but damn is it nice. o__o;

+fav

The scroll is so damn sexy, I have no complaints XD The rest however...good work, but there's still something lacking in them =X Since it's so close up, details and perspective are of great importance. You have the perspective correct for the papers, but I don't get how the coins are kind of thin....maybe it's just my monitor =.=a The papers are kind of lacking depth, well, that was hard enough to do, so I'll let you loose XD Excellent work on the scan *thumbs up* This one's still going to my faves ;D +fav

And here I am thinking that I have seen all the brilliant DERKA entries yet Blaze come up with this amazing wall... I mean it is amazing what you did with this wall... No offense to other DERKA competitors but this is my favorite out of all the entries so far... Way to go Blaze...

What I love most about this wall is the detail... I mean WhiteBlaze really put a lot of stuff into this wall... As for the pirate theme it worked perfectly... I mean there is so much detail that I could almost read the handwriting on the paper... Another thing that I love about this wall is the texture.... Looking at the paper it really does look like and old scroll... The wood background was also a very nice touch with the proper texture...

10/10 for this wall... No doubt I would say that this is on my top three best wallpapers here on AP... Great Job White Blaze!!!!

perfect!! you blended the images so well. i love old looking stuff and this is great! when i get home i'll get a new DT hehe

The pirate theme makes it sort of....romantic. Great detail work, nice intergration of the scan with the realism of the objects and scrolls.

okay.. i nearly died cuz i didn't have any idea how to make the wallie with that *** scan... >__>and you did this.. o__o what should i say.. this wallie is just perfect.. the bg is really amazing.. and the idea is great.. >__< but you didn't really work on the scan... okay there is the the man, the woman and the stairs..
but you just put the scan on a sheet of paper?? x__x

nyaa.. why not? haha xDD;;

Haha *pats* Definitely an interesting use of the scan in comparison to the other entries :) Yah I'm not quite sure how the scan fits in with the pirates theme either xD But the photomanip is nicely done fo sho :D

BLAZEY!!! You're no. 3!! (no. 1 is Nuniko, no. 2 is Kalico-pun) I mean the DEARKA entries. yo...the size is big. Takes long to download it-_- But I just looove the idea. I think Amano's artwork is ok..what do you think that's bad? lol, sorry for the chit-chat. The wall is very awsome, great, cool, beautiful, ancient, misterious, & very creative... The characters are soo ancient & misterious, & I totally love the way you put it on a map. How did you do it??!! The bg is the best!! The things look very real... all of them. I love the coins...it looks very real.. & the map is also awsome & looks very real.. I love the note, the book & other things you put in. & the texture is very awsome. Awsome job!! I'll definately add ths to my favs!! Keep up the awsome work, & hope to see aother wall from you soon!! *smacks Blazey becaause I've been waiting this wall for a very2x long time...... *

Interesante

I love abtract things

great wall

*fav*

brilliant...

very nice

Wow *0* I like it so much!

+fave ^^

I still don't get how this theme has anything to do with pirates. It's more like an ancient to ruin to me. It's an original and creative wallpaper. It almost seems as if it isn't an anime wallpaper but you mangaed to get pass within the rule limits. Quite amazing for a waller to create such immense magnificence. The scrolls and letters reminds me a lot of the library in the castles or old temples. Great work!

You're very original but it would be better if the characters could have been a little bit bigger because is hard to see them

I love it!! It looks very realistic, and the colors match well. Good! Good!

Wow! This wallpaper looks fantastic! I love the background and the whole concept is great!

Kewl stuff, very abstract indeed, at first i didnt understand the bg looked a while longer and was like waaaaaaaaa! its good but i think the green character, kinda killed it, it doesnt really go that well but its still good nonetheless

It's a good wallpaper; nice concept! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ ** ** ** ** ** ** _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ ** ** ** ** _ _ ** ** _ _ ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** ** ** _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _ ** ** _ _ _ _ _ _

But that's no matter

I think that's because the color background

I can only say is great

in all ways

It would have took me ages for all the details~ It is very detailed and everything looks so ...KIRE!!!!!!!
