FULL VIEW PLEASE.

Prologue:There are times when you think that you dont "have it".I mean you feel totally lost . That how I was at least . That I didnt have it. I didnt have something to contribute to Art. That I used to do again and again the same thing . But this time was different. This time I had real motivation into making this wall . Like the good old times . StoryBehindThePicture:I found this tiny , yet beautiful scan . I always liked the painting style and since I know that I really suck at painting and drawing and sketching ( I feel kinda "rusted" you see ) I never tried something like this all of this time that I use Photoshop for creating wallpapers. This time I took this scan And repainted it ! I repainted about 90% of it. I left some spots as they were to keep the painting look that I always wanted. The result was like this with the recontruction part only. The totally repainted version is one that you can download. You might think that was an easy job . I dont. I never tried it before . Maybe I wont retry doing something like this in the future.It took me many hours of work (about 10-12 or so) to achieve what I really wanted . Especially making look her right eye like this was incredibly hard for me to do. TheTools:My Wacom Tablet,Patience,a brush set of trees and Photoshop. TheStoryBehindTheConcept:Its about finding your own self. I ll let you this time make your own scenario . Its too easy when you explain everything to the others . And I ve added many small details here and there just to make you think what I meant with making this .As for the disturbing theme hope you can pass this one . If you think its too violent be sure that if you open the news you ll see more violence than every movie/painting/art generally. Resources:Scan was found over http://www.digik.netand thats it. No textures this time. No stock images as well . Epilogue: "Requiem,Kyrie" "Black In Death" "Midnights Hymn" "And I Am Suffering" "Domine" "Lacrimosa (I Am Blind With Weeping)" "Rest Eternal"

the track list of unreleased - yet- Virgin Black's album. I heard it countless times while making this. All titles have something to do with this Wallpaper.

Any possible support would be appreciated . Take care everyone.

Very nice... i'm only a fan of "dark" walls if they are done right, you've nailed the atmosphere on this one, i love the scan and the layout, the bg textures work well with the scan, the colours are very good, its hard to negociate colour on a "dark wall" but you chose well, over all a great wall and one to be remembered. well done and thanks for sharing dude! +FAV

Great job, it doesn't even look like it was tempered with, I can't say anyhting about your painting I never done it myself so I don't know. Very dark wall with a dark scan, but I like it, reminds me of some of the things I used to draw back in the old days long ago. +fav

only con is the second image of her in the background, there is no reason in my opinion for her to be there.

"In the beginning...there was only dark"

This is your very first try to draw something with the help of each one of your little right fingers. If we take this fact into account and then we look carefuly to the before and after of this scan it is quite understood that you put time and effort to repaint the "whole" image. It is rare to see such an act and for some people it may seem meaningless but when it comes to the "birth of a new art style" (-digital painting) everything has its meaning...

For that meaning and only your work deserves to be recognised.

As for the motivation part you mentioned, i can only say that i wish this motivation started from a fact outside you and then transformed into an inner one.

Motivation is the key to evolve not only as an artist but as person as well. Let's say that you made another step in your life.

+fv from me cause i saw the reborn of a great artist at least...

I don't have much to say about your wall... When I first saw the thumbnail I really want to full view it immediately! I can see the effort you applied in your work... It left me speechless... I want to congratulate you...your work is very wonderful. Absolutely a fav for me...

The background is really good, the scenery and the colors are looking nice. The character is looking good, she fits to the background well. Nice wallpaper.

Wow, I've almost missed this one! I won't say it's obvious there's lots of effort put in it (wait...I've just said it...oh well XD) because it's... well, obvious :D Well, to make it short, I like it a lot...it's a style I'd like to be capable of using...one day, in a future far, far away. Yeah... Well, this is definitely my fav! ^-^

Wow, it's really been a while since I seen a wall worth commenting. This piece of work is nicely done. It's very beautiful, indeed. Love the deep purple colors.. it really brings out the beauty of this wall.

"She is a tortured soul and she is crying with bloody tears for what is left.." This phrase poped into my mind when I saw this wallpaper. The work you 've done was very very good indeed. Of course it is too dark but this is justified. I 'm glad to see that a painting of one of my favourite artists became such a beautiful (and symbolic if I might say so) wallpaper. This is a fav for me!

I must have been stupid to have missed such a greatly inspired maccabre wallpaper, it is just plain fantastic, now if only it is widescreen cause this wall needs a superior resolution for the scariness it has to offer.

I don't know about the brain, it doesn't look quite like it's following the shape of the head, it looks flat rather than curved.
