Funky, retro, modern. FLCL!?!?
1600x1200 version for you 4:3 people here - http://www.weheartcode.com/flcl_summer1971_1600x1200.jpg
This wall was inspired by the work of Artists like Jeremy Prasatik ( http://www.jp33.com/jp33_prints2.html) and Scott Hansen ( http://www.iso50.com/ ) and of course the late 60's/early 70's.
This wallpaper was completed listening exclusively to The Beatles to put me in the right groove. I really love the graphic/vector and different color mix.
The colors had to be shifted to create a 'paper white' that was manila colored, greens were slightly blued, I used a special color curve that is used in photography to simulate Polaroid cross processing.
The foreground was extracted and a japanese style vector sunburst in pastels was added. Paper texture and retro floral overlays were blended in.
Typography done with Nyet font and some more paper textures.
Thanks to Session Zero, especially dragonoflore and zazou8888.
Big ups to all the widescreen wallers!
4:3 Ratio @ 1600x1200 available on Request via PM - Even though u 4:3 wallers dont do the same for us!

I never had a chance to watch FLCL, but I love the retro look. It has really peaked my interest in the series with this wallpaper alone.

I've spotted the scan you probably used for this wall yesterday on AP, already thought it would make a great wall. You absolutely prove I was right about that ^^. Good job and keep on wallin'.

You've done an excellant job with this wall. Great texture usage. The color scheme is perfect. It's very easy on the eyes. And she's far enough away from the right edge that the Vista sidebar doesn't overlap her, ha ha. Thanks for this great widescreen.

Amazing job, awesome colors and great effects!! the scans are perfectly extracted and the composition is great!! details, details, so many details, when I saw it in zoomed view, I realize what you did, the sky, the background, all looks great detailed, it seems a lot of work!! I like the style you used in this wall, and I think the widescreen size gives it more style too!!! congrats, no regrets at all, it is great!!!

Thanks for all the comments guys, an especially thanks to the scan uploader, I always loved it, perfect composition for a widescreen wall.

I love you in so many ways! Not enough people make 1440x900 wallpapers, especially good ones like this! Thank You :D I look forward to your future releases.
Great Job!

I like the vector! Actually the whole vectory style of the wallpaper is awesome ^^ I liked how you worked on the colors and how you managed to have such a nice composition. The brushes used are nice and their placement is nicely chosen!
Keep up the hard work!

congratulations to getting it out :) time for me to make some actually good comments now instead of my constant flaming ^^
The shading/color was nicely done (all the colors fell in the shame range). The texture print turned out quite fine too (as opposed to when i was afraid it would just be spammed everywhere ^^). The transition from heavy texture print to light/no texture as it got towards the center was spiffy~ The bumpy texture also added a nice feel. The thumbnail also makes it look like an old photograph :D Above all, everything looks clean. Though come to think of it, the two cloud-streak-things in the top left seem a little off now... >_>
But anyways, good work :) i will never understand that walrus song...

As I already said I like the simple look of this one wall and it's really nice it has been accepted but I still wish you could remove the sky behind the texture in the upper left corner...
Yeah I know.. I'm picky! :D ^_^
I'm sure it will get a pretty nice rate! :)
Glad I could be of use :)

Hey, this is pretty amazing work! The warm color scheme that you used is done really well and in conjunction with the texturing work on the background and the filters I feel you managed to capture the retro look you were going for.
Excellent work and I'm glad this is available in 1680x1050!
Keep on the fantastic work and thank you for this, this piece is certainly a favorite!
Man, I still can't get over detail of this.

This is a very nice and well done wall. Great job. The only thing thats bothering me a bit is that Mamimi doesn't look quite like she does in the series. There's just something about it that bothers me and I can't quite describe it.
Other than that, great job

The background looks really good, the environment is very interesting. The character is very good, too, she fits to the background well. Her skirt is barely visible, though... but she's good, anyway. Nice wallpaper.
6 years, 5 months ago
Yeah it's awesome you're very gifted! Good job :D

This is a very well thought out idea for a wallpaper, but I thin kit is poorly applied in some ways. The thing that really bothers me most in the matter is that this was not changed too much from the original scan ((when it comes to the foreground anyways)) The only notable differences are the background with the rising sun design and the texture placed over the entire wallpaper. I also think that the texture that was used should have had some different textures placed in different areas to make the movement a little bit more interesting, too. Overall, I would have to say that this is a very successful wallpaper, despite all of my criticism. It's not that it's a bad wallpaper, it's just that it wasn't that much of a personal creation and lacks the edge of creativity that we all see in many wallpapers here in the galleries, but doesn't lack in the quality. It does have a very crisp and detailed appearance and I do have to acknowledge the fact that it looks very nice. Keep up the good work!

this wallpaper is one of the best i've ever seen, hands down. i love the detail on the sunbeams, they really make this wallpaper unique.

Well now, you can taste the 70's 80's feel in the wall that makes it a classic when dealing with appearance then just having a character in it that is memorable.
I like the traditional Japanese background of the Rising sun red and white transition in the back. Very good choice cut.
I applaud this wall for not because of the look, but because of the various techniques you used to make it this awesome.
Like I said, Very choice cut.

i've been looking around for something different an flcl an i just think this might be it! i like the nostalgic colors and of course the 16:10 ratio. i wonder why it's still so rare ^^;

nice textures.. and the dis-harmonic (in color) rays in the background . It adds a character to your work.
