This was my submission to the second challenge of the Crimson Orchestra... against the Invincible Intercosmic de Facto Working Party (yes, I remembered that by heart >_>).
This wallpaper almost never happened. My computer had a virus and I couldn't really do anything on it... Then the deadline was extended a week and I completed it quite quickly.
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOU COMPLAIN THAT YOUR NECK HURTS WHILE VIEWING THIS WALL! Seriously, it's getting old. xD
Everything but the scan is from scratch. I was really sick the day I worked on this and when I flipped it I almost threw up. xD I think having it tilted gives it a bit of originality to it. I think the lyric fits well, too. :3 The lyric is from The Exies' Calm and Collapsed. It's a great band, and I bet most of you haven't heard of them. So take a listen here. :D
And here is a special widescreen for Ish and anyone who hates the anti-clockwise 90 degree angle.




We heard you like towers so we put a mosaic of this tower on this tower.

I was wondering why you hadn't submitted it yet. Well here it is.
Actually, I really like the angel it's at. Gives it more a dramatic feeling. Nice grunge, and I think one of the best walls in the challenge.(+Fave)

I think the sideways effect makes more impact on the theme.
No complaints for neck craning Xp.
Nice job.

haha...sideways wall. that was what caught my eye. original idea ^^. though i didn't crane my neck to view it...because my neck is already hurting from craning to look at my six scans of the art for the ED Find the Way. Now that was bad... anyway, gj and that's all that needs saying.

celest, I hate you.
metal, I love my version, the other one makes my neck hurt.

screw the "right side up" version. the impact isn't nearly as good. with it being at the angle it/'s at, the lyrics actually fit and give it an extra push. with the horiz. version, it's kinda like..."okay?" anyways, one of my fav entried. it's amazing how something to simple such as flipping something really adds that extra push. i also love the verticles it creates. they'r enot nearly as noticable as the horizontal version. anyways, uber love for this wall (yes...i love it so much i even used the word i hate the most. uber) fav from me :3

lol, great job in making everyone's neck hurt. It's an interesting idea and I like the textures you used. Good job.

i was waiting on this one cuz it was one of my fave entries. The different angle adds so much interest, who needs the "normal" one. I like the texture and the lyrics. Nothing else to say but great job and it's a fave~

Actually i like the 90 degrees twisted version [even your neck kinda hurt when you see it for some time], nice idea , the soft texture and black & white theme give more expression to it [i know it was part of the theme, but not all people can add that kind of stuff], the only thing that dont like me are the buildings on the back they look pretty solid and clashes with the blured clouds on the back and soft changes of tones on the floor. Besides that, is a good entry, a big plus for the original idea of the twisted thingy.

Wow I love this wallpaper. I find it really unique. The way you put the wallpaper sideways is really awesome. There's no need to make your neck hurt... it looks awesome looking at it sideways.

i like this wall...who cares it is sideways??it is unique like that.black and white,love it...no complaints here..fav.

The skyscrapers in the background are a little too sharp compared to the rest of the wall. Other than that, I like how it's sideways. Nice job!

Yay for changes in perspective. ^^ I would have liked it for that only, but to be honest I kind of fell in love with the whole feeling of it (not to mention that it fits perfectly with my computer for the moment... ^^;;). I do wish there had been some kind of splash of color to draw attention though. But oh well, people's opinions differ.

I'm big fan of black and white wallpapers and this one looks good [maybe it's the dude's look... it makes me smile for some reason XD]. I only have a few comments. Firstly, the whole scene is kind of dark. Yeah, I know it matches the guy's nervous breakdown and it brings out the girl in white.. but still... It'd look better juuust a bit lighter. Secondly, the buildings still need a bit polishing to fit in the image perfectly. I'd recommend the same grungy texture that's on the rest of the image [because right now you can't see it, if it exists], and maybe you can make them a bit lighter and with a softer contour [not much, just a bit, 'cause right now they seem like cut out from a piece of black paper]. Maybe if you add some soft window lights on them, you could give them some volume. Oh, yeah, and, personally, I would have kept the legs uncut, although it looks ok as it is, too ^^'. The text is great :D, maybe a less common font could bring more attention to it. Anyway, I like the wallpaper a lot and I hope that you and your computer got better. Keep up the good work! ;)

I just happened to pass by your userpage in saw this wall, and i thought i have to click it right away, it looks too cool, I LOVE LOVE how you rotate the picture, i looks just way too cool, love it ><

although titled walls aren't my thing, the side version is definitely better than the normal version, it has more drama and it suits the theme better, the normal one looks really plain and boring nice job!
