Before i begin the comment of my wall, i have something to confess. I always loved christian crosses. Even though i'm an atheist, i love this symbol, it reeks with strenght and power, like no other one. Don't misunderstand me, i'm no fu***in' goth freak, i just love crosses. Ok i said it.
So... i had this french comic for a long time, with this huge cross that i scanned and kept preciously for when i would find the right scan :p i was roaming around AP's gallery when i saw this scan of Joe, and the idea came...
I began this wall with a title in mind: Crossfire. Jo is making what you call a crossfire, i had a cross to use, and i never did a full fire BG before... and i love lousy puns. So here we go huh?
I began with a re-CG of the cross, that was having some borders missing. Then i went for the fire BG, thx nat for your tutorial, that i enhanced for my needs tho :p well the fire was a real *****to make, and i tried many way of doing it, before coming back to the first i made: nat's one o_o
now the real big part of this wall: Jo's scan and what is around. you can see the scan HEREi had to re-colorize the whole scan in tones that were fitting my wall, and that was a pain in the a** it still hurts. i re-CGed a lil part of the legs and the holster to hide it afterwards with flames :p i love useles work hehe i created the bullet cases quickly but they look good i think. i couldn't figure out how to do a good fire burst for the guns, and once again, i clicked the wrong button and said "either i'm completely stupid either i'm a genius. i like the second answer more"
and the painfull stuff in this already painfull work: the tatoo. 100% HANDMADE!!! as you can see in the scan, her arm is naked. I drew inspiration in the tatoo she has in the anime and in the one i have on my arm, and the mix looks pretty cool huh? :) THAT is what took me the most time i think.
well that's all i guess... 40 something layers, 6hours of work... thx Blu3angel for providing me the link of nat's tutorial when the fire was already made :p and gat for the final check, even if i didn't change anything in the end (i can't put 50 bullets cases, her guns are .50 Desert Eagles, no submachine guns lol)
EDIT--> after few PM of people complaining, i made the blurred version the official one. more realistic heh...
enjoy, you bunch of pyromaniac wackos.

Now that is awesome. I love the fire and what you did with the scan and how she looks. Again, awesome. Great job!

AMAZING.... love the fire and the background looks awesome.

I'm not a fan of red, yet the combination you bring for this one is simply nice. The fire is a little bit overdone, but overall is looking neat. I particularly love the atmosphere this one brings. Good job.
7 years, 2 days ago
Now this wall I like. Red can be a very hard color to work with and you played it out very well in this wall. The scan and the fire go together nicely and you didn't have the fire completely engulf the character. Not too sure what I think about the cross in the background but still this is a nice piece of work.

a work of perfection - some slight pixellation around the edges but forgivable because the rest of the wall is quite compositionally good. she's got quite a forboding eye on you, there :P
The tattoo looks wonderful. I must admit though, i like the version with the motion blur more. the cross looks a little.. grainy (scanned-from-manga-style grainy) but again, forgivable.

All the elements of the wallpaper are merged perfectly, and the color scheme is very "burning". However, the flames texture is a bit too smooth compared to the scans.
You did a good work, but I wonder what she's shooting at... ;p
7 years, 2 days ago
wow, this turn out great......i really love it ......the scan and the finesh girl are soooo differant , what a great job you did ^_^ +fav

I love how you draw in everything...XD like me! anyways, yeah the fire looks nice..and the recoloring is awesome too! ..For some reason i didn't notice this wall was made by you until i read your shout.. But really nice blend and drawing of tatoo..hehe i love that part. and you really love red don't you?
To be honest, i wasn't gonna fav it..because i know nothing about this series. but reading how you went through the trouble of drawing everything and stuff..meh...i'll fav it.!
Also, i thought i might be a little too conceited if i didn't give it some attention
C: great work.!
PS..in six hours...wow...i won't be able to finish something like this in six hours..o.o

The composition and blending is seriously marvelous. Love the tatoo and incoming fires on that cross... I think the fire below and the over redness of the wall can use a little more work but whatever this is one of the best bakuten walls I have seen.

The cross is also nicely done, lovely textures, it looks realistic the background is just great the colours are awesome I really love the fire behind the character Everytyhing blends well together and the texture is high quality. excelent job.
7 years, 1 day ago
Cool fire effects. Really nicely done. The thing that sticks out at me the most is the fact that the character doesn't look like he's part of the background. Don't get me wrong, the colors on it are perfect. What I meant is the style of the char and the background are somewhat different. I just felt like I needed to say that, because it's the only thing I could say about it. xD Other than that, I really see nothing else to complain about. :D
Anyways, it's an awesome wall. :)

This wall has a real intensity about it. All the reds, the fire, the gunshots, it all goes well together. The scan put together with the cross looks a little conflicting because of the texture, but the composition still rocks. Nice one~(*'-')

this is such a well thought out piece that u can tell u put forth hard worth and detication for it to turn out so great. i like how the picture and the title are connected and how the pic itself could have different meanings hidden inside . the backround fire and the gunplay of the phycho lady is so awesome . its like she's struggling for different sides to choose . for example she could be an divine warrior for a higher plane or just be a raging murderer. but its still hot i give you much props on this picture

Incredible and fantastic colors and effects (the color scheme and effects goes together very well), very impressive,admirable, interesting and unique work, good vectoring work, beautiful design and...and...

Woah. Simply amazing. Being an atheist too, I have worn crosses around my neck. I guess, I too, should go with your explanation and say I love the power of teh Crosses ;)

Well first of all the flames are too smooth.The flames look okay though.But too smooth Don't be mad.(just doing my job) The cross looks aiight!!! Nothing wrong with that. The scan is nicely extracted and vectorized. The tattoo on her hand is really rockin!!!!. But what the hell is she shooting at.. Love the tones of red you used.
Good work though.I see you put much effort into this. Congrats.

Hey everyone.. so here's my wall, originally taking only 2 hours and about 7 layers... it has been transformed since then.
Through 6 different versions, and many more layers (finally topping out at 16 in the latest version) and who knows how many hours later, here it is.
Hopefully this time it is up to par, and I hope everyone here enjoys it.
Well there you go - enjoy :)

This looks totally awesome, but I find the cross a biblical refrence, perhaps you should have considered lesser reference to symbology? It looks good nonetheless.

Way cool wallpaper of Jo. This image is very dynamic and captures the intensity of one of Jo's gun fights, the blazing fire all around, guns firing, and the cracked cross in the background really emphasize the intensity the gun fight as well as stylizes gun fighting in general. Overall this is probably one of the most dynamic wallpaper designs ive seen in this site keep up the excellent work!
