Well, I had a clear image in my head of doing a pop-art look for this wallpaper when I started, but as you can tell that concept definately fell along the wayside somewhere along the way. Instead, I found a rather nice stockimage burried somewhere in my HDD and went from there; I basically ended up going with a scenic, sunset kind of look that tried to create a nice red/orange color base that complements the character well. The leaves were a last-minute addition that really helps solidify the scene and give everything a 'finished' sort of feel. I hope you all enjoy!

definitly a good choice over the popart. the popart would have been cool, but it looked like arika had way too much american pride! i'm a sucker for sunsets and trees, and i gave you all the feedback i could while you were working on it, so i'll just fav it.

...It's nice :) The only thing that bothers me a bit is the text, which feels rather big...

I don't think the scan fits with the background. Arika is way to happy and chipper for such a dark background. She seems out of place.

The background and render are nice! but it almost looks like shes not part of the background, if you get me? Like the 'level' on the render should be a bit darker? cause she is pretty light and the bkg is darker.

But overall the design is nice, really nice compliment with the render and bkg. ^^ Keep it up!

I just love the background! I mean, there's trees and a sky that looks really nice. And not only that there's leaves with different colours that's falling. It's just so beautiful. Really great idea of choosing those colours, it match the character. Really great work!

Nice, but I think the text is too big or rather, it is too bold to the point the it distracts me from admiring the work you did on the background and on arika (which should be the main focus). I don't really know how you might solve this though, probably making the text a little smaller, and/or reducing its stroke and brightness. Or even better, since it's a sceneric wallpaper (text ain't supposed to be the main focus on a scenic wall anyway, right?), removing it completely wouldn't be a bad idea as well.

my 2 cents.

The background just goes nicely with the scan. The scan looks really bright which easily makes it known instantly that it is the focal point. But maybe the time of day presented dcesn't fit well... it just kinda obthers me since it looks kinda like dusk or dawn. Well keep up the good work.

The effects, the backgrounds, the color, lighting, and the scan are top notch! I think they are in the bes condition and each of them blend harmonously in your wallpaper. The problem is I don't think the character matches there. She seems to be out of place.
