Ok people here we go. This is a resubmission of a wallpaper I did earlier. The main reason for this being that i was pretty unhappy with the wallpaper and decided to make some major changes to it all together.
Now on to the good part. this wallpaper is the outcome of about 4 weeks worth of work strait and totals somewhere near 42 layers, if yout hink thats a small number it may come from the fact that almost everything besides the scan wall done by hand so it really didnt take that many layers.
I realize that this scan has been used by just about every other Valkyrie Profile wallpaper on this site, but I think i pulled it off in an entirely different manner then the others so in my opinion its completely original.
the insiration from this wallpaper comes from the game itself of course. I was trying to depict the scene when Lenneth first comes down to earth looking for souls to fight in ragnarok. If you've no idea what im talking about i suggest you play the game, it's opne of my favorites.
Inspiration for the title comes from the Nightwish song of the same name. Whos lyrics pretty much sum up the theme of this wall perfectly and seemed to fit rather well. Some may ask why there is no title on the wallpaper itself. the reason for this is pretty simple. I was trying to make a realistic wallpaper, and who can tell me where in real life they have ever seen a bunch of text just floating above the world...
A few people I'd like to thank. First I would like to thank BetoXZ for this wonderfull scan, which can be found here. I'd like to thank Square-Enix for this wonderfull game, though it was just Enix when this game was released but oh well. I'd especially like to thank all the people over at Pointless Vandalism for thier support and helpfull advice while makeing this wallpaper. And last ut not least Id like to thank of of you who download and enjoy this wallpaper. I make them for you guys not for myself, so please enjoy.

nice one squigly :) interesting colors you chose. i guess i'm used to space scenes being more flashy but how you've done this really suits the wall.
great job! :) out of all the walls submitted to ap in the last 24hrs, yours is the one that will be on my desktop today ;p

When I first saw this I was like "heeey, that looks familiar", but I do have to admit, even though I liked the first version, this new version is a huge improvement.
I love how you darkened the scan just so, and then used the lighting to backlight her. This makes the mood so much more ethereal, and I have to agree with you, this captures the mood of the game's opening scene quite beautifully.
Any plans to take a stab at a Silmeria wall? ^_^
I love this wall, I'm adding it to my faves.

Hmmm I generaly don't do a wallpaper for a game or anime I have niether seen or played. I believe this gives me a better feel for the atmosphere of the wall. So you probably wont see a Selmeria wall for a while since i sold my ps2 and am just waiting for the ps3 launch. Though i was considering doing a Valyrie Profile series of at least the more popular characters. That is depending on the response i get from this wallpaper.

It looks really nice! Sort of simple, but that's not bad at all. ^_^ I don't know much about Valkyrie, but this looks just fine, so keep it up!

You've worked really hard on this wallpaper! I'm happy to see it finally over here! The shadowing on the character featured is nice and I liked how you wrapped her in fog. The Sky is nicely done, but I still don't really like the gound. Still, there is plenty of space to put icons on a desktop! Keep up the hard work ^_^

I've played Valkyrie Profile at PS and played it again at PSP. Hihi, I can't get enough of Lenneth I guess. It's my favorite game.
The way you put much effort doing this wallpaper only shows how you really enjoyed playing the game as well.
Thanks for this. ^^
Keep up the good work. I'll be looking forward to see more of your designs.

Good mood to the picture.
I would suggest a brighter moon? It'll help the picture stand out a little.

Ich habe mir Prototype gestern aus der Videothek zum testen ausgeliehen und schon das ganze Wochenende gespielt. Ein Glück. So ein Schrott kommt mir nicht ins Haus.
Erstmal die Vorteile: + Offene Spielwelt + Überall versteckte Dinge zum entdecken + Überall zusätzliche Bonusaufgaben + Spannend inszenierte Handlung/Zwischensequenzen Mehr fällt mir nun wirklich nicht ein...
Nachteile: - Es wird nicht jedes Gamepad unterstützt (Die zwei die ich habe zumindest nicht, Street Fighter 4 hatte da keine Probleme)
Schlechte Grafik. Ich spiele auf 1600x1200 mit max. Details und alles hochgedreht was nur geht aber trotzdem kann das Spiel mit aktuellen Titeln ÜBERHAUPT NICHT mithalten. Gut so viel kann man eh nicht einstellen... Auflösung, AA, Schatten und Grafik Details. Mehr geht nicht. Ist halt eine typische PS3/XBox umsetzungen. Deshalb verstehe ich die Leute nicht die sagen die Grafik sei klasse. Auf der PS3/Xbox vielleicht...
Schwammige Steuerung. Da meine beiden Gamepads nicht unterstützt werden muss ich halt mit Maus und Tastatur spielen. Mitten im Kampf ist die Steuerung sehr ungenau da die Maussteuerung sehr schwammig ist. Und wenn man einmal eine "Combo" begonnen hat kann man diese nicht mehr unterbrechen. Es sei denn ein "Super-Mutant" trifft einen von der Seite.
Schlechtes Kampfsystem. Mitten im Kampf macht man eigentlich immer nur das gleiche. Linke Maustaste, Linke Maustaste, linke Maustaste ab und zu mal die rechte Maustaste für eine "Combo" und dann wieder linke Maustaste. Springen kann man vergessen da man meistens eh 50m zu weit springt. Man kann aber auch Gegenstände aufnehmen und werfen. Was sich aber nur bei Hubschraubern lohnt...
Geringe Gegnervielfalt. Hauptsächlich kämpft man nur gegen Soldaten. Diese sehen, wer hätte es gedacht, alle identisch aus. Dann gibts noch Hubschrauber und Panzer die einen die ganze Zeit nur nerven. Ab und zu sieht man dann auch mal so "Super Mutanten". Das spiel erinnert an stellen stark an Medal of Honor world at war. Es wirft einem nämlich immer neue Gegner entgegen. Killt man einen, kommen drei neue nach.
Ständige wiederholung. In diesem Spiel macht man eigentlich immer nur das gleiche. Von A nach B rennen. Dort Gegner umhauen. XP in Upgrades umtauschen und dann wieder von vorne. Abwechslung bieten zwar die Bonus Missionen, aber selbst die wiederholen sich ständig.
Den Punkt brutalität setz ich mal auf neutral. Wer darauf steht der kommt beim Prototype voll auf seine Kosten. Man kann alles und jeden abmezeln (sehr blutig). Aber irgendwann wird selbst das auf dauer langweilig.
Fazit: Wer ein Spiel sucht, wo man nicht groß nachdenken muss, viel Blut sehen will, immer das gleiche machen möchte, auf schlechte Grafik und eine schlechte Stuerung steht, der kann bei Prototype gerne zugreifen.
Alternativ würde ich euch raten, kauft euch eine Xbox oder eine PS3 und dazu das Spiel. Auf der Konsole wird es hoffentlich besser sein als auf dem PC.
