Oh, what emo kid could resist this wall.
I read Tama's design blog entry on smudge painting and have wanted to try it out for a while. This is the product. It's nowhere near Tama's stuff, naturally, but i'm pleased with the result. I kind of hate her arm and nose, though.
Bebop is an interesting series in that, 7 years after its initial releas in 1999, whereas many an anime have been "walled to death" in that amount of time, i never seem to feel that exhaustion when i look at a bebop wall.
I have a laptop now, so i think my primary resolution will be 16:10 from now on :o
Thanks to metal and julie for final checks :o

I personally think the smudging helped the feeling get across more powerfully. The emptiness on the left looks good, even though it's a lot of negative space. Le FAVE!

The smudging definitely turns a lot of that empty space on the left into a dramatic swirl of not quite perceptible chaos...As for the words, they are just visible enough to make out without being annoying. I find this wallpaper to be very simple, and really elegant in the point, and emotion it gets across, particularly in her face, and the half shaded light. VERY IMPRESSIVE, and very creative, I love this wallpaper.

your wallpaper really depicts the feeling here - it's dark, lonesome, heavy. you can definately sense the emotions beyond the crying image.
well done.

Brilliant, I'd say. Simple yet very thoughtout. The emotion, detail has been garnered so finely into this wall, it's enough to drive my focus away from the wide empty space and stare endlessly at the emotive lady. +fav'd for great justice.

I like...very emo... Although the quality can be brushed up, but honestly, this thing strikes a chord in my heart +fav

i like it. lolz, the emotion of the character is well presented. i could care less of the quality or whatever critiques would say about it. its a beautiful piece of work.

Very good! The smudge effect you did on this piece reminds of me of expressionism-esque oil painting. The empty space contributes well to the feelings being expressed by this piece. Although I do not like the realistic Faye of this scan, that's more of a personal gripe than anything else and doesn't detract from this awesome wallpaper.
Great job!

why so emo? were you sad during my absence??
6 years, 6 months ago
Crying? I don't think so. Don't belive the lady's cry is the wallpaper's name.

A really gloomy and dark wall , but personally, I dont like seeing faye valentine with that face...

Great picture. I like the setting and the contours. I also think that the light is fine and that the feeling is very proper.
