Hyung Tae Kim CUM TACENT CLAMANT

The background and the shadowing in this wall are great. I look forward to your next work. :)

Wow....this background are amazing! Just amazing! Thanks for sharing!

I dunno if the title is a typo..or a misspelling, or a different language..but..err, lol. <_<

anyway, as a technicality, the only thing I could recommend is improvement of blending and typography.

As a personal opinion, I would recommend that stocks not be used so bluntly as a background.

*giggles* HEE HEE THIS WALL HAS THE WORD CUM IN IT 8D

Now that i've returned to my proper age. I don't really think the mountains work well in this - too blatantly stock-imaged. Painting over the stocks might've worked in this case - i also don't like the bird that's in there as a part of the original stock. This senic wall's a little weird 'cause it goes from Mountains-peeking-above-clouds, then to open land - where one would expect to find more clouds/a blue sky? hmm. It all feels very grand and epic, though. nice job.

nice attempt here like the lighting effect you created the mountain stock looks too real for the character scan in my opinion well done anyway missy

here are the rules of the challenge for those that don't know them. they were fairly restrictive and stock photos had to be used ;P

i think you did a pretty good job with the rules you had. highknees' is pretty good too. i think it would have been hard to choose between them.

+fav! :)

hi phoenix, long time no see ^_^ great job on your background. 100+ layers O_o i imagine it makes your computer cry every time you load it. but it looks great anyway, so it's worth it. ^_^

see you around.

Jeez Minstrel giving a little bit too harsh on the critiques? ;p. No but seriously Stock blending isnt an easy task unless you have been taking secret arts in methods. My honest opinion is using terragen for background and having much of an easier time with the mountains and such...it really is a handy tool. Anyway Still a well done effort...hope Dave thinks the same way ;p

• That’s an amazing War Of Genesis wallpaper. The BG is astonishing! Enough said…

holy sheep, this wallpaper rulz! XD i feel your pain because of the "Layer 79 Copy 67" situation :D but hey, you really made a great wallpaper!! ^^ goes to favs!

really nice dark feeling in this wallpaper :) i just think you could work more with the bg.. it look a bit to real.. but overall it's a really cool wallpaper :)

The wall is pretty cool ^.^ The stock is really nice, and it blends quite well with the scan ^.^ I like the scan you decided to use! ^______^ The lighting in the wall is great too ;D Keep it up ^^b

I used to be a hater of landscape backdrops... but I think you're starting to convert me. Though the image is a bit dark, it does give the wall a deep and glorious mood- almost sinister- that I think is necessary. Placement of the character was subtle and I'm really glad that there was no bothersome text anywhere to distract me.

Your effort shines through. Great job!

Well done!!! Very nice wall. Thx for sharing

The amount of details put into this wall is absolutely amazing! The lighting is good, the colours match so well and the ray of light on the character really puts it into perspective!!!

You already know how I feel about this one - you're an absolute champ in blending - awesome job!

A fantastic idea, and I think you did a very good job pulling it together. It seems that the stock photo you used wasn't to great on image quality though? It really seems to take away from the fine work you did with the rest of it. I can't tell for sure it's been filtered to look that way, or if it's just a poor image. If it's filtered, I'd suggest you go back to having it look clearer and try a different tact. If it's just a bad image, I guess it would take quite a bit of work to touch up, you might be able to manage it though. Despite this, overall, it's really quite nice.

I like the background because the mountains, fields, water, and the sky all look very realistic. The combination of green, blue, and brown has a calm sensation to it. Great use of textures in the mountains. Overall job, it was above decent. Keep the work and effort up!

wow the water is sooo cool,.. i like it, and the wallpaper looks so awesome,... *_*

Great landscape as background. It matches perfectly the windy hair of the character. Love it!!

Also, the rocks... There's a reason why this wall is over 100 layers... Look closely at the wallpaper's rock formation and its crevices or whatever... - - - > I'm sorry, I couldn't notice it. But I saw it was something complicated and all. The wall is really beautiful.

i was just writing to highknees that it'd be cool to see what you submitted for the battle, since i've downloaded good walls from you before, and then i noticed this paper's thumbnail and clicked on it, and it happened to be yours. which goes to prove it's not that far off from the quality of the winning paper, as they both caught my eye so quickly. you did a good job, and the level of detail is awesome. that must have been a difficult vote for everyone haha. for my opinion, i think it could be that this wall doesn't create an immediate mood the way highknees' did, and that could be the turning factor if i had been voting. but nonetheless i still think the wall you made is really good. i love the sunlight you put on the character, and for some reason i especially like the water that's just outside the 'cove' the character is in. great wall once again, and thanks for sharing

thats one AMAZING wallpaper, you know your stuff well! i sure hope i can make something like this someday soon ^_^

Great JOB ! Perfect Efect in Wallpaper ^^

Once again, stocks are a great way to make wallpapers come to life. But, when it comes to stocks, they are no easy matter. BUt despite that, you were able to maipulate images in ways that you probally thought didn't exist. Great job! I can't wait to see your feature work. +fav

Nice work ~ that background is really stunning^^

nice job on this. i love the background. it's so detailed

Awesome wallpaper. I like everything about this wallpaper. The ray of light that shines on the character makes him stand out a lot. Then the detail coastline just makes this wallpaper a classic.
