I would ttly recommend you full-view bc that thumbnail is embarrassing.
Uhh hi, long time no see? So I started this wall back in 2010 but due to a lot of reasons I never finished it. I recently developed a resolve to finish everything I had started graphic wise on my hard drive. (Note: it's sad how many walls/icons I started & never finished. This should not surprise anyone that knows me tbh.)
Originally the characters outlines + some coloring were done in Photoshop 6 (I use PSCS6 atm) and I feel like the quality/size kind of suffered for it. A couple weeks ago I loaded the psd, cried, proceeded to try to salvage some of the pixilated outlines and then went from there. In the end I scrapped the original concept (idk Spike had green hair in the original wall? Idk wth I was thinking back then.) and redid the whole composition + color scheme. Everything was done by "hand" (tablet) via CS6, with the exception of the outlines. I obviously went cray cray with the details, I had some type of determination while making this. The title is from a Black Keys song.
Before I forget, original scans: Spike + Faye
Ik this isn't the greatest ever but in the end I decided to submit this bc the accumulating guilt was too much to bear. Hope some of you like blinding saturation tbh, ahahaha. Welp, that's the end.
If any1currs I'm more acive here: Livejournal + Icon Comm ~shameless promo of recent icon post~ + Twitter + Tumblr
This took me longer to write than it should of tbh, I'm too used to html now. Ty 4 ur time.
/sry too anxious

Wow. Pop. That was I said to myself when I saw your work. Personally I like graphic design composition and your work has really brillant / bright colors that I loved. I like how is big and cut the write behind with its 3D effect and random color lines. My most fav. detail is Fey's make-up, with its shade on her eyelids.
Using pois for some parts it was a great idea, to different directions, because they give an amazing Pop Art reminding execution. Well, I hope this work could finish in Slideshow Gallery because its so damn good. Absolutely added on my favs. My compliments.

well we are two guilty girls I empatize with you, I know how much difficult is to work hard and define a idea (getting insane in the middle and after), let me tell ya the work you went through totally worth it! this is spectacular, one of your best wallpaper, the composition is great, you get right choosing colors and shapes, dots are well placed & colored and not over using the graphisms, well done choosing pictures that, share not just theclose up but also the usage for your idea, though the text is not readable it all, is all mixed with the characters and the bg that even I didn't care what was wrote. Is cold spicy and vivid and the clean space on the botton is just more than right, you hit it. I just love it.
Don't worry about the thumbnail it actually stand out in the main page :3
pd: I loved the icon post

Ahahaha that's a relief. lD I was concerned over the quality of the thumbnail since it kind of ruins some of the details of the wall. :o

OH WOW this is absolutely amazing.
I'd like to commend you for going for a graphic design type of wall. This demonstrates how simple techniques can go a long way with proper execution and some creativity from the artist. While scenery walls are not bad, I have a strong bias towards walls with a more abstract concept. Excellent execution with the limited CMY palette, and the halftone dots are a nice touch as well. The vectoring is also flawless and those white lines along the hair and clothing definitely complete the pop art look.
I would fave this wall twice if I could.
PS nothing wrong with the thumbnail IMO

Bang! Dynamite wall! It's been quite some time since I saw walls in this style, that are greatly done. Primary colors plus a touch of green done in a nice, simplistic way.
Well the masters of AP have said them good points, will not copy anymore, except the fave. +1 and keep it up!

Hi! Maybe it is really hard to take the time and the patience in order to finish a wall paper...i have never made one before so i really can't tell how hard it is...but you should try finishing them up...i mean this one is amazing! I love the colors AND the male character from this anime. (i've never watched it before). This wallie is really good and i hope you keep sharing what you create! :D

Thank you! ♥ Ahahaha I totally would but the problem is that I'm extremely slow at finishing things, others are much much quicker than I am. I focus too much on the little things and it makes me stall. :V Thank you! ♥ I'm very glad you like it~ ;3 Cowboy Bebop is amazing tbh, you should watch it! :D

Omnomnom! Just loving the colors here and how you mixed in some subtle gradients as well. I think it tuned out just fine so I'm glad you stuck with it and found the resolve to salvage what you had. If anything I would say up close it feels a little sharp on some edges, but that may be leftovers from what you said about the old pixelated outlines and such.
