Hey all this is my second ever wallpaper and my first attempt at grungeing and using textures ^^.
I really like Trinity Blood and I realized that there weren't all that many walls so I decided to make one.
The original scan I used for this wall can be found here: abel scan
I don't know exactly how long this wall took me to complete but it was a while with over 30+ layers. The bg is actually two different stock images: one of the vatican and then another one for the sky to get some dark cloud effects. I tried some different effects in the sky but they didn't work out so I had to dump them =/. The dark sort of silhouettes (sp?)/blotches around the lower parts of the wall are actually people who turned out like that after all of the manipulating and brushing.
The texture I used is from DA and I'd like to thank Tama-Neko for having them up on her site.
The stocks I used I found at the stock xchange
I'd like to say some special thanks to dhias, rocknroll-isgo, and WhiteBlaze who helped me out a lot with ideas and suggestions. I'd also like to thank everyone in #animepaper for their help.

So here I am to comment, I'm glad you took my suggestion to restore some of the detail to the building, it does look much better than the blurred version. The font also looks better now that you have lightened it. I like how you did the sky and the extraction is good. :3 I think that the wings could be lightened somewhat though. And oh yeah, compress your file with save for web. Overall, good job!

The wall looks really good, dark and misterious, the main scan also looks good, I have to mention that the building looks like the old White House XD ( that's no critic, just some humor), the font goes really good with the theme of the wallpaper, nice work :)

This wallpaper turned out really good! The extraction looks great too, especially when it was such a pain to extract Abel from the background. I like how you did the sky and how you manipulate the stock photo. I told you this wallpaper would be awesome once you finished it! ^^

Very nice...I like how the main image manages to match with the background. Although the colors might have blended together a little too well for my taste, yet still very well done B)

Hmmm, commenting commenting...
Remembering the original image you were working on, this is seriously great texture/grunge work --- especially considering this is your second wallpaper. The whole scene is very ... Armageddon-esque. XD And I'm glad the wings are more visible as well; helps out. The outerglow on the text still bothers me a bit... it's rough and the color doesn't fit well. Awesome job, Carlos. ^^
Now go make a vector wall. XD

I love the Vatican man! Plus trinity blood rocks! wooo xD The scan turned out great nice job on the wings. Keep it up dude awesome wall for your second time around!

I really like how the wings turned out, they were looking a bit iffy druing your devlopment. And from what I've heard of Trinity Blood the mood of the wall is very good. I'm pretty impressed with it, and good luck on all your next walls.

nifty work... not exactly my type but still looks interesting. nice texture work with really nice combination of the stock. The character blending can use just a little work but since this is grunge type that's a minor detail. Usage of colors are also very good. The feeling of the wall isreally something to be seen in full-view. But there is something really bothering me. The right arm of the abel seems cut off for some reason. I can't see what's going on in there by looking at the thumbs (i mean the scan) other then this is a really good wall man...keep this up

Hi Acrisius ~ Promised to comment the wall so here I am =)
K.. first off, the scan. Awesome job with the extraction- especially the hair. I've attempted extracting before @__@;; didn't work out too well ~ so props to you for doing a good job with it. I really like the chracter design. I think it was a good choice for a scan to wall. The wings- I must say, you did quite a number with. I recall on #ap you were having difficulty with em, but I think the result came out really nicely. It blends with the scan and the background and I'm liking the texture.
Speaking of which, the background. I'll start off with the sky. Just the brilliant colors are making me love it right now. Dark black clouds tinted with reds and then a smoky ashy grayish brown in the back- it looks great and not to mention the bright spot of light on the midleft side of the wall as well. Nice effect. The sky just really fits in with the rest and I like the feelings it gives off. Kind of creepy end-of-the-world type vibe.
Next, the buildings. That's the vatican? Lol.. nice works with the textures and such to make it give off the same feel as the sky. I love the building- nice job with the details and I believe that's a fountain as well. As with the silhouettes [yes... it's spelt "silhouettes"], I would've never guessed those were people. If anything, ghosts... er.. spirits. Nice job with the brushwork and such making em turn out that way. Neat effect if I do say so myself. Just a nice murky, dusty feel to the entire wall. I like it. As for the text ~
I'm still a bit iffy, but it turned it quite decently. What I like most is the fade-through with the different colors and texturing.
Overall, great job with the entire wall in general. You worked hard on it and it shows. Keep it up and the more walls you submit, the more I'll comment. =)

the character seem well done over the background, can't say much about the text... this wallpaper goes well with the anime spirit overall :)
7 years, 7 months ago
The author did a good job blending dark and warm colors together. The sky compliments the Vatican and there is a shot of Abel in the corner. Nice job.

i don't know if the background building really matches with abel's mood in this wallpaper. but nice nonetheless. that's one of my favorites graphics of abel!

This is nice. But the hair bothers me, I guess this has been talked about in other posts. It dosnt seem to blend well with the background. However the background itself, is nice for using a stock and putting back in the detail that was lost. I dunno ..hmm..just not sure. But over all nice job :)
