Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Only the Chosen are Saved

I generally like this kind of work and your is well done, really particular but I think there should be more contrast between the two colors because they are both dark and not so far, I think you could try a make some reviison changing the two colors (black and bright yellow for exemple or true cyano and pure magenta). The texture is nice but putted casually, it seems, and for my taste I like more flat color without this kind of effects. You could try to use a wood texture as a wood low relief using dark and light brown for exemple or red and white as "A Game of Throne" God tree because the composition is rounded from outside to the middle as a hole tree. This is some ideas I had when I saw your work :). After that your work is nice and striked my attention, so it's good, at least. ^___^

It's submitted! Well now that i've seen the anime, i can get a better look at this. The moment is from ep9 and the girls are none other than Kyouko Sakura (in red) and Sayaka (in blue). For those who're wondering, The wall basically tries to represent Hapiness & Despair/curse. That there's a Balance in the universe, that if someone has Hope or gains happiness it will be balanced by Despair/curse to another if not the person itself. So even thou the colors represented might not interest everyone, they're exactly the same as in the anime..so i think fans would appreciate it. Different revisions may appeal audience, but im glad you kept it original. Gave it a fresher/brighter appeal by playing around with shade and gradients and added textures to give depth which blended in quite well. Also I can see why you said you didn't intend to make a wall of this, but it's good that you did to capture that moment and the feelings in it..and conveyed what you were aiming for.

At first, I thought it was simple wall. But as I read your comment, it has a powerful message. The message of this wall becomes powerful and clear because of its simplicity. Simplicity has bring this wall to have a good level of attraction coupled with a good message, this wall really deserves a +FAV. Although the composition, technique and the concept of opposite sides was not something really new, BUT I really feel the the feelings that you want to convey through your wall. I REALLY LOVE IT!

You know, the simplicity of this wall is the reason I like it so much. I haven't seen the anime, and I don't know the characters, but I can get a good feel of their dichotomy from the two contrasting colors. From their silhouettes, I can tell that this is a pretty emotionally serious scene, and I think this gravity is best portrayed through a simple image... it diverts the audience's attention away from frilly graphics and instead focuses it towards the emotional depth portrayed. Well done!
