This is Part 1/4 of The Beams Series.
I really like Charles & Ray Beams they were like matching pairs from heaven. With kewl theme song (get it by your hand) & retro outfit. But their happy theme never last long,
I'm pretty sad with the cruel end its really put me-off, they weren't bad. =/.
The theme for this piece is mix retro (the 70') I had blend this wall with lot of symbolic icon. its all related to eureka summer of love events // seven swell. You should visualize from left to right... oh well, i shouldn't not tell you what notions you should hear or not, so figure it for yourself. do your math
The retro brush is by porcelainBRUSHES & Thanks to moutonzare for providing the ray vector.

-- For the second time eros had taken her love.
`MistrelKnight got a good point, I'd made the angel a bit obvious on the last part of the story board (i called those box story board thats my plot device) because in the beginning of ray's stories,she got sterile by the seven swell (as the hand of faith). The angel (eros/cupid) is holding the symbolic chalice of female womb and love (whatever). and at the end part of ray stories. she lost Charles :( . and she's got so deprived (turn out to be suicidal) .. thats how i got the first story board title 'Eve Sepukku'. its unfortunate. I love both of them.
I had upload the - beam's theme songs (by hiroshi watanabe/quadra) . you could download it at my server.
[edit] 2/4/07 *gat - add reflection.

pretty damn stylish. angel on the bottom has to go though, distracts you from the real point of the wall.

I like the blood on the floor and there is good composition, but you forgot to add the reflection of the scan on the floor!
6 years, 3 months ago
Get rid of that cherub at the bottom right and this would be a perfect wall. Very stylish and I LOVE Charles & Ray T___T. Renton should have stayed with them!

:P very nice! although the blood might be a bit too much, agrred with all the comments so far^^ but excellent job!
*add as a favorite*

i really love this backgroup.......it's very lovely.......also eureka seveN is very good .....it's one of my favourite movie.......^^

It's great how you took gat's advice, but rather the scan's reflection, you made the BG's reflect... ^^

Preparing to watch the newest episode of E7 right now... I loved Charles and Ray too!! Makes me cry how they ended... Was never so shocked at an anime before.
Really love this wall... Great concept and pretty colours! Definitely a +fav for me!

I like bg ... Bg's look old
6 years, 3 months ago
This wall is too much for me :) I'm a bit scared of these retro things but I want to stay objective, so ye, you did a good job. This wall is well made, it's just not my taste. But I have to praise you for choosing Ray. I loved her in the series.
6 years, 3 months ago
reading baka's and Mk's comment i gotta agree with the cherub be removed, too distracting from the simple lines the wall has.
aside from that NICE! love the text as usual xD
charles and ray were a cool couple ;_; i guess it wont be complete for a good anime to kill cool ppl =_=
6 years, 3 months ago
OMG! this is perfect!! i love the pattern, the flower, the gradient and its look like in the magazine
6 years, 3 months ago
Wow ! It is extremely stylish , caught my eye in an instant . Neat background and colour balance . ( i find the character's face sort of ugly though XD ... my opinion XD ) . Great wallpaper nonetheless :P
6 years, 3 months ago
This is absolutely beautiful. As soon as I get home, this is going on my desktop (:
My only complaint is the contrast on the scan of Ray, but I'm on a tiny laptop with an odd screen so I don't know how well I can tell things like that.
6 years, 3 months ago
Very stylish, plus I really love how the reflection/spatter add depth to the wall. It's just that the angel/circles don't blend in that well and I don't totally dig their placement :/ Still a fav.
6 years, 3 months ago
ha! cool! i loved the bg!!
(+fav)
6 years, 3 months ago
looking really good { though I have a thing against dlded brushes XD } well anyway, this'll definitely be my new desktop very soon ^_^
O_<

Great wallpaper!!! I love the background!!! ^____^ +fav

Great concept more great design equally a great wallpaper
Excellent wall ^____^
6 years, 3 months ago
Nice wallpaper; it is certainly very stylized and I like the concept of telling Ray and Charles' story (really tragic) through a polyptych-type format. The background textures are really great in their composition and color scheme.
I am a little impartial to the blood effects on the ground, but they are certainly fitting in regards to their role within the series.
Great wallpaper, I'm going to favorite this one, thank you!
6 years, 3 months ago
damt! It's really great! I like Charles & Ray :)
6 years, 3 months ago
I really like the background~ Nice work
6 years, 3 months ago
I adore the inter-changing background. >:D
6 years, 3 months ago
DAng, this is good, well...The Background is just....i'm speachless, it's jus tthat char i dont know who is, only it's from that 7 thing......it would be alot better if it was someone i kewn of, but anyway, very good work xD +fav
6 years, 3 months ago
Good wallpaper ^^ i like the way you did everything together it looks interesting very much i can say :P the colors are nice and the way the background is done is very nice. the character don't really fit in but it's alright. the black and green parts don't really look good with everything... maybe if they were the same color...but you did good job =3 eureka 7 is awesome X3
6 years, 3 months ago
I really liked the beams and one of my favorite parts in eureka seven is the moment when they tell renton to call them moma and papa TT__TT its just so overwelming, now for the wallpaper I think you did an exelent job altough its a concept paper its has a really cool air of being a scenic one, the first tought that crossed my mind is that she was on some japanesse room, the reflection of the back bords in the floor is excelent and also rey´s feet reflexion but I guess what I liked the most is that you succesfully captured Rey´s essence a clean like cute enviroment but a blody floor (kind of really describes who Ray is) excelent job Fav+

Very cool, very retro!!
6 years, 3 months ago
love it! Very retro and cool but I'm not getting the angel at the bottom...sort of detracts from the wall in general. But overall really good
6 years, 3 months ago
I'm not too fond of Charles and Ray. I downloaded it anyway because it was worth it. I like the feel of it, if you know what I mean. I like how you put "sepukku in the corner.
6 years, 3 months ago
A really nice wallpaper of Ray, to bad you dont see alot of wallapers of Ray and charles the most wallpapers are from Eureka or renton ah cant blaim that. But it would be nice if there were more wallpapers from the other characters. I would love to see a wallpaper of Norbu haha
6 years, 3 months ago
Cool~ looks classy classic, very nice....
6 years, 3 months ago
very nice composition, although the black person or angel kind of takes your attention off But it's still a great wallpaper

What exactly was the Summer of Love? I've heard it mentioned throughout the show, but I never really knew what it was. I am referring to the show on Adult Swim.

Sorry for the double post, but wasn't the Summer of Love when the Coralions came to Earth?

Lovely Ray Beams wall. Although...1/4? Who's the fourth Beam? :o
6 years, 2 months ago
OMG this is such a great wall!! i love the funky background and the colors are just so great! it's really modern and fresh :D. and another thing.... it looks so perfect on my desktop! lol. Great job!!
6 years, 2 months ago
This wallpaper's just wonderful!
But like another person had said, the blood is a bit too much. I also think that the angel should've been somewhere else.
Besides that, good job!

Excellent work!!! The appearance is very original. It is of the best thing than I have seen,
6 years, 1 month ago
Wow!
So pretty! I love the colors and the layout
I might like it better without the blood spatter at the bottom, though.
Good Job! :D
6 years, 1 month ago
this wall has a lot going for it. aside from it telling the story you wanted it to tell, it also looks like ray just finished hanging her laundry on a clothes line. =P not that that's a bad thing. i think it looks pretty. good job with the different colors, nothing looks out of place - the cherub's the only thing that i don't like. this wall looks like it came off a page of a magazine. it just looks good =D
overall 4 out of 5

Aaaaaaaaah I just love it!!! Even when I didn't watch Eureka 7 yet, I love Ray character because Aya Hisakawa is her seiyuu XD. This wallpaper is so fashion I love it!!! I'll check the rest of the Beams' series.

I love the background!! The colors are so good ^^

I like this wallpaper very much. It's really catchy for me. Sort of 70's clothing and nice colors. I just don't understand the spatter part ><. Nice Work as always.
6 years, 3 weeks ago
Satisfactory! that is the first word that comes to mind with this wall. +++FAV. >_< I love Eureka Seven and you captured the right tone for Ray! I like the textures that you used for the Wall's BG. However I think that she looks like she is hovering over the spatters, but otherwise I see no problems....

I like it that it has a simple, clean setting.
The wallpaper doesn't look empty or overdone with excessive colours. Love the cool, light colour scheme, it blends well with Ray. And the reflection adds a nice touch of depth.
My only suggestion is removing the angel. It seems "misplaced" in the BG. Plus it's very distracting to the overall image. It would look wonderful if you did that ^^

This is lovely! You put a lot of thought into it. Even though it's so cute and upbeat it actually makes me feel quite sad. *sniffle* Anyhow, great job! I'm loving your work!

i cried.i really cried for them.*sob*sob*waaaaa ray-saaaaan charles-saaaan.they were a heavenly couple. i want to be their child.By the way great your work is great. but that little angel disturbs me.+fav
5 years, 6 months ago
A very stylish wallpaper, but like a lot of the other comments, I have to agree that the angel bit doesn't really fit to me, but aside from that, I really like it.

The background on this is so inventive. I adore the retro feel of the paper. Brilliant.

Very nice wallpaper, from e7 I can honestly say she is one of my favorite characters with Charles. By the way retro feeling towards the wallpaper rocks xD
5 years, 1 month ago
i loved the vectors!!!
2 years, 11 months ago
Still one of my favorite wallpapers from Eureka 7. You really did a great job on it, and unlike everyone else I sort of like the cherub in the corner.
