O M G I T I S D O N E!
I've never... EVER wall'ed this quick in my entire life ((I didn't rush it though)) I got really excited to see what it would look like that, I've just been working on it every time I time to spare ((and there's a lot haha)) Saying that.. I've been looking at it that long that I will have probably missed something, THOUGH I CHECKED.. haha
In my vector I said that was gonna put really strong lighting on the wall... well I changed my mind! I was gonna make it DAYTIME and then I thought It would look better at NIGHTIME so there you have it!
This is like my third time painting, SO I am really proud of my snow even if it crap, I hope its not! T___T Please don't hate my snow! I seem to creating a partern with my wallpapers... non-wide screen - wide screen - non and the WIDESCREEN again! Omg... :D I did have it a little darker than this, but i think it looks bet Anyway I hopes you like it. If you have any tips on how I improve then I am all ears :D

I couldn't hope to do this in a million years. The blurry depth background, vectoring (which I hardly even do lol) the snow, I dunno how you made that amazing lighting but its fantastic! damn I feel like this is maybe the best wall this year I've seen and its come at the end of the year lol. +fav

This is amazing Meronheddo =D I loved the vector, but WOW... the wall is beautiful and just SO well done!! Congrats on being the Staff Pick, because honestly this wall deserves it! And only your third time painting!? O_O ... wow... keep it up because you are seriously good at it, the snow looks beautiful! I can really feel the chill of the snow and yet the warmth of the character. Congrats and a definite +Fav from me once again!!

I can't explain it, this makes me swoon. Maybe it's the lighting, maybe it's the snow or maybe it's his penetrating gaze staring straight into my soul.
I like the snow on the sole of his shoes. I like the fact I can see all the sweet details when I see it in full size. And I like the subtle way you put the signature. I don't really like the lighting all that much because it's a little too bright for night time, especially on the snow. You could maybe add a darker shading on the snow on the ground toward the back to create distance.
You did a really great job with this. I didn't expect to a wallpaper submission of the vector so soon X) Happy New Year!

I can't help but went =O when I saw the vector the other day. But now, again, I am simply amazed by this wall! =O
I love the idea and the way you've done it. From the snow to the lights, I can see that you've paid attention to every detail. XD Love the colour, the concept and the impression of this wall. I can feel the chill from the snowy day, and yet the warmth from the character, especially the eyes.
You've done a good job! I can't help but like it twice, over MT and here.X3

A-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND IT'S HIGHLIGHTED! XD
CONGRATULATIONS! THIS. IS. FREAKING. GOOD. (COPY + PASTE from MT): Although I quite agree with what @alenas said----perhaps some larger snowflakes falling on the foreground would be nice. :D But the overall scene is quite breathtaking.
P.S. I think the appropriate title for this would be "I Waited For You" or "You Said You Would Meet Me". LOL. Just being dramatic and all. XD And yes, you could use these titles if you want to. ^^v
P.P.S. I think the reason why it took so long to be published was because @Bantam wanted to surprise you with a highlight! LOL.

Great new wall from you! And congrats on the HL too. :D As usual great job on the character vector and your attention to color and detail. But your background fits very well so great concept as well! I like how the wall has levels of depth, with him and the snow in front, the swing in the middle, and the poles/lights in the back. I'm also enjoying those glowing spots and how they add nice extra spots of color too. If anything I would say the falling snow seems a bit too uniform; like a solid curtain, so I agree with the following comments about having some larger flakes here and there to break up the curtain effect. And a minor annoyance, but I wish the wall was lowered a few pixels so the top of the swing set doesn't touch the top of the wall - it needs a few more pixels of breathing room there! XD

OKAI THIS WALL IS AMAZINGLY BREATHTAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where should i start first. The background.. it is absolutley amazing and beautiful the blurr of the lights make verything seem quite and alive at the same time. The snow adds the sad calm feeling to it...like theres some lonliness in there somewhere, like hes been waiting for so long. Now to the character. He is abosutely gorgeous. HIs beauty is captivating. lol his eyes and his hair have to be my favortie part on him. the detial on them is very noticeable and realistic. his eyes, when i look at them its like hes looking at me like for real...and i cant look away cuz im caught. the detail in him altogether the snow is so realistic looking and its everywhere.. on the soles of his shoes, the way it forms around his body wheres his laying down. Overall amazing beautiful breathtaking work in this wall I love it this defintely a +fav for me.

The vector of this wall is so awesome, very clean and the colors are lively which produce a good contrast to the wintery background, for that this wall deserve to be HIGHLIGHTED and to have a +FAV. Same issues with the snow, but it seems that it don't affect the wall that much.

I love the texture and coloring of his hair. And also, the texture and coloring of the wallpaper itself looks so smooth, yet crisp and dignified. I like it a lot :D

i think you can do better then this so i will give this 5\10 but good try not being mean just saying

this wallpaper is beautiful. The way you edited actually transmits the idea of an quite much alive image, highlight to his hair and eyes, which were really well done ... I like the choice of colors, but I think they're too vibrants, in this case, I'd really decrease their contrast a bit, to minimize the idea of a 'wallpaper without good finishing that'd give a more professional look', I'm not saying that your image is not professional, quite the contrary, this wallpaper is really very good, but if I could point out two things that I'd subtly change, they'd be the edition of his mouth, whose outline could be more defined and with less shadow, which, in my humble opinion, by being in a tone somewhat dark is transmitting the impression that it is part of the jacket, and.. I'd apply a little more of depth effects in areas close to the contour of the right foot, which is the only thing in the image looking like 'there's not much perspective here, because it is a drawing'. I hope I have helped, my intentions in this review were not 'speaking ill', I've only commented these two subtle aspects that I noticed when looking at the image, as I have already said, your editing got very beautiful, congratulations!

I absolutely adore the snow and how the character trys to hide behind it (looks that way to me LOL) keep up the good work ;)

Nice wall, sure it was hard to do this but somehow Im not pleasant about the final result I think it could look even better, anyway I love this wall overall :)

The wallpaper is really well done!
The snow does look a little off but the background and the vector are absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I really like the lights in the background and the way it's sort of blurred, it really gives it a natural sort of feeling and even matches the whole mood. And I like his hair and how the tips match the color of his eyes :D
