Gate to the past Blood Plus Wallpaper

A wallpaper showing the gate to the 'ZOO' in Bordeaux from Blood+. This one was quite tricky. My idea on how it should look like changed many times while it was still in early stages of creation. By experimenting with different sets of filters I managed to make it dark enough for me. My sister came up with the idea of brightening the mist in front of the gate and making it glow, which was the hardest part. The effect may not be ideal, but I am rather satisfied. Making the gate less visible than the trees was also somehow problematic - it's behind the mist, which doesn't have the same thickness in every place, so it made me try many different types and combinations of brushes before getting acceptable outcome. I also thought about adding Saya's and Haji's silhouettes, but threw the idea away after few unsuccessful tests.

This wallpaper's style is something I really like - darkness, mystery, something seen usually in nightmares. I tried to make it to be just like the series, which charmed me with it's atmosphere.

I like it. but I think you could've varied the grunge a bit more. and added a bit more. and some things shouldn't be too blurry so to create a better feeling of depth.

Heh heh! Yeah, filters and blending modes galore. HAHA! I like how it came out. From your description of how you wanted the piece to look in end, i think your goal of a scary nightmare-ish kind of look was definitely achieved. It's an impressively put together piece and I like it a lot. I do think you should have found a way to include Saya and Haji though. They are such central characters in the series that without them the piece seems like it's missing something. Oh well. Congratulations on a well done piece and good luck with your future walling endeavors. *faves*

Great wallpaper here. I like how you contrast the light and dark colors. Also a nice added touch is where u put writing of some sort of writing in the background. The dark feel to it is also nice. Great work here one of my favorites now. :)

The thumbnail of this wall caught my eye... I'm still quite into abstract walls, and this one is quite captivating in my opinion. And it comes in a good resolution too!

Good work on this wall, I can't say anything much more cuz I gotta get back to work.

Cool wall. I love the grudge effect alot. But, some parts are really blurred or smudge so it makes the wall look unclean.

such a dark wallpaper. i would love this if you put some text on the tree to give contrast to the text written outside and i recommend putting a character in it like a kid on a swing :]

What I really like about this wallpaper is that I really didn't know what it was at the begining. I really had to look at it closely to realize what it was. I like the fact the wallpaper is eyecatching, and everything seems to blend in very nicely. Keep up the good work and I hope to see more of your work in the future.

The tree could use some variety from inside,sometimes it looks to me like a big black splash. With less leafs it could more suit to the creepy atmosphere of the gate entrance. Anyways not bad, I always like walls without any characters, and also know that requires skill to do them good.
