After 2 months i decided to finish off what i started.

i'm surprised that i had enough leftover skill to finish this off. the rock were definently the most annoying part of the wall. it took many tries, and this is the closest i can make it look like stone. it's safe to say that i completed this wall through much trial and error.

the moon was actually taken off a earlier wall i did and it fits LOL. the clouds were difficult and it came out the way i wanted it to look like. i'm really satisfied with the way it looks. the lamp took while to get the perspective right. and the light glowing off it was walk in the park.

the girl is kaoru from rurouni kenshin. i found it in one of the manga books and decided to use it. lucky for me colouring was pretty straight forward. and the details weren't too complex.

i'm looking forward to some C&C's guys.

This wallpaper is very beatiful. the dark puple is very nice and adds a soft but hardness to the wallpaper that make it so woundful. The sky is cool and seems to go on forever. I love it. Awesome job.

The background is absolutely beautiful, very soft and light, despite the dark colors. However, it is because of this, that the scan you chose feels too.... cartoony. There is far less detail on the scan in the foreground, then the background, which makes the whole thing look backwards. I think part of the problem comes from the face, which has no lines on it other then the eyes. Too... plain for your background. Despite that, you still did a great job on the wall, good work!

Hooray for purple!!! I love the moonlight 'glow' feeling. All the glows are beautiful. I think your hard work really paid off! I've got a new favorite. ^_^

Looks really nice. You did a wonderful job with this piece, I like the dark tones. Everything in this piece looks like it was made to go together. Keep up the good work and keep 'em coming.

Haha, the top of the Torii is lit up as if it's a neon tube, like it's a convenience store in the spirit land. It all kind of works together in a dreamy way, the flux between realism and unreal lighting/character. Her robe could've used some fake texture and less photoshop shading, but it still doesn't detract from the fantastic mood of the entire wall.

Very atmospheric. Nice use of the the moon and the lights as light sources. Very effective and detailed.

The water is beautiful and the whole wallpaper has a really nice atmospheric ambience to it. Definitely one to add to my favourites list!

Desktop of the Week!!!

The atmosphere got me right away. The purpleness of the Wall generating the darkness effect is just right. It worked with Grayserg's COTS Wall as well, but that one was VERY PURPLE !
Moon and Clouds look great. I had to change my Digital vibrance setting so I could see the water however.
Excellent Job!! This will remain on the desktop until someone defeats it ! A winner is you !!! :) +fav

weeeell, thats quite some fine night atmosphere the clouds and moon are awesome the stairs and rocks look really interesting well chosen font, the text is just too faded, or small, should be better visible, it has enough space there i wonder what the sky would look with a few stars in it... minor flaws, great job

This wallie is very beautiful and lovely! The rocks turned out pretty good! The only thing that i don't really like about this wallie, is Kaoru. It didn't really blend well with the wallie but it fits in okay. Overall, you have done a wonderful job on this!! Keep it up!! +fave

I was surprised why they rejected and then accepted it again, I will comment there soon enough. It is kinda blurry which is something I did not like too much. But I love the serene feeling to it. Definitely a plus. a little more clear on the surroundings would make a great improvement.

amazing background, but kaoru needs a lot of work, her eye is way too big for one thing and she doesn't fit in well with the background with her thick outlines, more detailed artwork of her would look much better

the lighting effectts are really good . i also like how dark looking the wall is. really good job. though if i had done this wall i would most likely put the words on the top right corner instead of the center. but it is still a good job

oh yay! I think there can never be too many Rurouni Kenshin wallpapers, and there are so few Kaoru wallpapers out there. So I'm very happy that you made this one. :D I think it's a very lovely wallpaper, and your clouds remind me of this phrase 'every cloud has a silver lining' ^___^;; Kaoru looks so pretty there, and the moody dark blue atmosphere fits very well. Good job!

Hm, this wallpaper is very elegent and formal. It also has some dark feature to it, however. The colors all blend together with the shades of purple. The brightness may be a little too much. It would somehow appear better in the same contrast. Keep the work and effort up!

The scan sucked though it;s not your fault manga scans are just always hard to handle.

I love the whole thing man, sorry havent commented on your stuff for a while, you kno how it goes
