Beautiful atmospheric wallpaper. I think it really suits the black and white theme. I really like it, +fav!

This one is very nice! Great job on this piece.

Wow, must of taken you some time with re-creating/drawing the scan ^^" Not surprised you need a break XD *gives cookie* :D I love the atmosphere in this wallie ^^ It's really nice! Great job with re-drawing the scan ;D Nicely done ^^b

I absolutely adore the sketchy feel. It's great for black and white! It feels as though you drew the whole thing!

Simply the best B&W wallpaper! +fav

*very* nice! ^^ LOL, you just go and have a break - you deserved it - the wallpaper looks simply amazing. nothing else to add - everyone else alreday said it XD

Not much to say 'cause you already know that I think it looks great ^^ I love the scans you used... I also really like the raindrops effect, and how this wall really plays with the whole indoors/outdoors feel... really nicely done >_<

Great. Simply great. Now I'm starting to understand why we lost XD I love the rain on the windows and the broken window on the floor and...evrything! Congratulations for the wall and for the victory, FAV +

This was the best wallpaper in the challenge. Good job...(+fave)

A very Melancholic wall..And I agree, what was with the surge of black and white walls a couple of days ago about anyways...

yay yay! for the win :) amazing job on extending the scene.... >___< looks greeeat! and yea...murata is a popular choice... '_' hehe

WOW... wonderful wallie . Just wonderful ... what can I say ? excellent! xD The raind drops on the windows are amazing and the general feeling of it is what it should be. Nice . very nice!

+fav!

this is freaking amazing, how you managed to shamelessly extend the scan while preserving the Abe style is beyond me. Truly a fantastic piece of reCG.

easily my favorite entry from the opposing army. even if i didn't like really...any of the others lol i like how you kept that abe feel throughout. and the addition of the broken window is <3

I like it! but for me Its a little sad. Somedays we need to see this walls on our computers isnt it? The art is original, Congrats!

Wow its Cooooool ^-^ I Love it ^-^ * Add 2 Fave * Good Job ^-^

This is the best wall of that challenge. Seriously. Abe's artwork is amazing, but you did a great job expanding the scan/base concept like that.

You really did a great job by completed this scan and added really cool details outside the window and even inside. Everything fits really well and are nicely incorporated. So nothing to complain in this wall. I was just wondering if you choose yourself to do it in gray colour or was it because of the contest, cause it would be really nice with a bit of color here and there. Anyway great job, adding to fav :)

This is my fav wall out of your battle results. The sketchiness is absolutely amazing and even more amazing that you are able to carry the same drawing style across the board, creating a seamless blending of original and extension halves.

I wished though, perhaps if the lighting was a tiny bit less uniform, perhaps introduce a dim light bulb or a lantern somewhere, I reckon that would make an absolute killer for added dramatic fx which would help direct focus on certain parts of the wall e.g. the person and/or the cityscape.

Another thing that I wasn't 100% on was the windows - not sure if it's slightly lacking depth or just an optical illusion, but the windows look like posters pasted on the wall rather than actual windows. Maybe I just need a new pair of glasses.

Congrats for the win and for such an awesome wall!

Great job! My kind of wallpaper :)~ Very nice grayscale choice. And the wallpaper is neither too dark, nor too bright. I'm not quite sure about the broken piece of... well, of whatever that is near the broken window. It defies gravity and the rest of the laws of nature [like the one that states that that object shoud cast a shadow, since all the other objects around do that...]. The broken window also doesn't have a shadow which is kind of sad because it ruins the otherwise very good wallpaper. And the direction of the light is a bit questionable. In the original scan, outside was considerably lighter, so it was ok for the guy to be so well lit, but in the altered image maybe it would have looked better to darken his left side a bit more. I'm still not sure about it, but it would be worth trying.. if you have nothing better to do, that is ^^. On the bright side, the rain drops on the windows look great, did you draw them or are they taken from a photo? And if you did draw them, care to make a little tutorial ^^' ? But what I truly like most about this wallpaper is the atmosphere... it really makes me look out of the window and sigh...

Cracks on the walls are awesome, cityscape is awesome, vegetation outside the window is awesome. The rain dropples though, they stand out too much, they're too sharp, to clear.

Yoshitoshi Abe is always great. Especially in professional wallpapers like that)) I'm veryveryvery liked this grey colors. Yeah. Professional work.

P.S. I hope you forgive me for the mistakes, because english is not my native language ^_^
