Im still bloody sketchy on this comeback to wallpaper business because im now used to actually painting on canvas rather than photshopping a wallpaper on a comp but this was one of the few walls ive been working at for the past 2 weeks, yeah i know its kinda slow for me but what do i care. Anyway i got this scan from Candy-chan when she started to spulrt out most of Kouji Ogata scans (maker of the Boogiepop phantom series) and i love the expression on the characters face...deprived of her innocence... so i placed her somewhere near the water and correlated it with a bridge on the horizon, added the pole so you dont get lost in the mist and perspective of the whole bg. Still added the grunge touch with a little of the boogiepop keyhole effect to neutralize the plain white which would blind your eyes in an instant.

"The week of dead butterflies" was an actual title of mine for a painting i produced for an art show back at Feburary, which depicted of a woman throwing butterflies which flew upside down to preferably mean lost innocence thus showing the feleling of the artist. "Cvivismodi adeo veritas Cvivismodi adeo dvbitatio Cvivismodi adeo capvt itis" is latin for "what is truth, what is uncertainty and what is existence" these are one of the questions that i have sought but never have found yet... all my life its been a struggle to find meaning in everything I do and learn from though it would be fatal or worthwhile in the end, all i know is that we are tested everyday to the whims of both time and existence. Jean paul Satre (French philosopher) said "If you search for happiness all your life it would come to nothing" and a friend of mine then said "We are at a constant freedom until we die" then i counteracted the deal saying " There is no true happiness in the world", some of these sayings mean a lot to me no matter how unrelated to the subject of the whole wallpaper it is but if we could fid meaning in the things we do in life then we wouldnt be so oblivious to our de evolving human race which is sucked into warmongering and capitalist societies that we in fact can change all this... but im just one person.

More resolutions in Imanimetions so anyway I hope you like it... ^_^

Dude, why'd you had to make a dead butterfly on your wallpaper? It's kinda lugubrious (I didn't bother to read the entire discription, but I bet the reason's in there). I do like the colour use in your wallpaper as well as the canvas effect. Composition's good and also the background matches the character's expression, but I do wonder why they made those stripes on the nose of the character. Its probably some sort of shadow effect, but it looks a bit weird. Overall a good wallpaper, keep up the good work.

Spooky! I love this kind of atmosphere on fanarts (yeah, I'm creepy). Red and blue, nice choice, I like it :)

Nice use of text, and the lack of color makes the contrast of the subject's eyes all the more eerie. Great work!

Nice nice HOT!!! XD I really like the blood splatter, it's real but so abnormal! I'm not even sure blood splatters that way but i don't care, I love it. ^_^ The girl is really good too, I like the foreshadowing from cheek to title. The background is really good, very Silent Hill, welcome-to-hell theme. Overall this is a great wallpaper, it 's an eyeful, great images, aweosme text work and not to mention it's all onesided (sadly for pc users). Great wall!! XD
