::ORIGINAL VERSION:: CLICK PLEASE!

Hi everyone! This is ANNA and I present you my entry for the battle vs EVI @ povism.org.

::THE THEME:: A Season's love.

Judging as per the rules.

  • only male + female couples are allowed (no ecchi!)
  • no gray-scale and no B&W
  • have to be mixed in use of tools (that means you can't make a full PS brushes wall with with a scan, or just a full vectored piece nor a full painted one. Doesn't matter how much, you have to use different tools to make the wall.
  • at least 1280*1024 (widescreen allowed)
  • text is allowed as long as you don't write the season's name (you chose) into it.
  • only vectors made by you are allowed
  • stocks are not allowed, (ie, photos)
  • textures can be used (and brushes)

I chose my wall to feature Summer! My favourite season. Some of my partners said that it's not quite straightforward. I had my doubts too but I asked my lovely mother and she responsed: "Summer of course!" And as I said before, I trust my mother. >3<

I used almost every tool that exists in Photoshop CS2. 1. Pen tool (shape layers) for lineart 2. Eyedropper tool for blending 3. Brush tool for painting 4. Smudge tool for fine details and blending 5. Dodge tool for light effects 6. Blur tool for fine touches 7. Polugonal Lasso tool for scan extracting 8. Move tool for changes in elements' positions 9. Zoom tool because I can't live without it 10. Burn tool for other fine touches 11. Eraser tool because I can't live without it too

::THE CONCEPT:: You know you are in love when you see the world in her eyes, and her eyes everywhere in the world.

  • David Levesque -

::THE MAKING OF:: I started browsing galleries that contained art I liked while searching for couple scans. I then browsed Deus Machina Demonbane. I saw this scan and fell in love with it.

I just had to think of how to make a wall out of it. Then I went to deviantart for inspiration. I saw this tiny image that basically inspired me.

WIP:

Step One: Scan rotation, lineart, scan extension, scan extraction, placement into blank canvas.

Step two: Painting of lineart:

Step three: Basic bg colors

Step four: I blended and defined the shapes on both sides and then added lots of details on the right side mostly and less on the left side.

Step five: More details on the right side. Added painted fish with reference, bubbles, lighting tweaks, and a black border.

Step six: Details on the left side along with more fish. I also edited some things I didn't like. The squid is a touch that is about to go in the next

step. I also added text.

Step seven: Final touches, lighting effects, more blending of the characters into the bg.


Thanks goes to my team for the support! We are still alive!! VA!

I appreciate every comment! So please, comment!

Indescribable. It honestly leaves you speechless. |(VcV)| You simply did it to make a flawless wallpaper. I practically can't find words to describe how much I like this. It is undoubtedly the best thing you've ever made. :|

And well, I don't know many things about PhotoShop, but I know one thing for sure. This is called one thing. Art .

It's a breathtaking WP (pun intended) also very detailed and creative. Love how you make gleam of sunlight penetrates through the depths of the ocean/sea and how you put your effort on making the aquatic life in BG looks alive. The bubbles looks great too. Yes, both of the characters blends well with the aquatic surrounding.

Just when Kurou suddenly opens his mouth underwater, there must be some air escaped from his mouth and some amounts of bubbles formed around him and hits Al Azif's face. That the only thing that bugs me in this WP.

Anyway, thumbs up!

This is really pretty, but I don't think it emphasizes summer (or any season, for that matter). Also, something about the text doesn't seem right to me. The placement is good, but the fontface doesn't seem striking enough :3

So I definitely like this piece and the effort you put into it, but I don't think it really fit the requirement of the competition ^^;

Okay I admit that the background looks magnificent the wall compistion is great. And the colors too. But I think the season can’t be recognized easily. And sorry, for some reason I can’t believe you didn’t use any stock. Some parts (like the rocks on the right side and especially the fishes) are way too photo looking. And because of the above mentioned confusing things I’m not satisfied with this wall (being one of those who actully wrote the rule for the battle) If we don’t mention the battle it’s an awesome wall i have to admit. But like this I’m unceratin.

I must admit I am amazed with the wallpaper you have submitted it. Concerning the composition I have no words actually, it is magnificent… Nevertheless looking at your description and following your WIP, I must admit really that this is not a digitally painted background. You may have stated so, but the more I look at this piece the more photorealism / photo manipulation with lots of smudge and added features (fishes/apart from the three that are close to the characters on the left). The plants though are drawn and that is for sure. As for the bubbles i love them^^, either brushed or painted. It is the first time I actually criticize someone’s work (the way someone worked to be specific) but it is something that caught my eyes. Maybe you haven’t explained clearly the way you worked. It is not bad to use photo reference, if you actually state the followings: a. “I used a photo reference to re create the X element (meaning you saw something and painted something as it is…yet it is clearly shown that it is your creation)” b. “I used a stock photo and manipulated parts of it to create the X element (meaning you used the X element as it is but added or erased parts using smudge – healing etc)” Well, if the rules are not allowing the use of stock photo but only on reference this wallpaper is against the rules. As for the season concept…well it is not something that I would decide whether it is shown through your wallpaper or not, it depends on the other competitor’s wallpapers and their way of using this info from the rules. Other than that, I must admit that if I am making a mistake and being strict or wrong in any possible way, depending in my knowledge on digital painting of’ course, I will write another comment stating my apologies.

Hmmm....Well at 1st I really was just gawking it and saying "wow, how did she do it?" and stuff...but after looking at it more carefully I just have to ask...

How? How did they get in there?!?! I mean the bg shows them somewhere in a cave like place! How'd they get there?!? :PPP Also no matter how much I look at it...the bg just seems too real! But since having seen what you can do on previous walls I believe that ou really did make it from scratch...its just that next time I believe you should use pics you find as reference and not follow them straight. Letting your imagination do some of the work sometimes can produce the best results unexpectedly ;)

But what do I know! I just love this wall and I know it! :P Fave damn it, fave!!

mmm.. well sorry to say this, as a team we always make and review the rules together.. and i have to agree with anolibb and mouritsa... i was thinking the same... when i first saw it i was like O_O .. is that a stock?... didn't we say NO to stock photos?... (o_o) then i read the description and i wasn't sure since i don't have much painting experience... but it still looks weird for a painted wall... some fishes and rocks are too sharp and look more like a photo, used underneath..

Anyway i still think that the wallpaper looks beautifull, outside the challenge it is an awesome piece.. But inside it... it's a bit disapointing since it's going a bit against the rules.. fell free to correct me if i'm wrong.. i'm just being honest and explaining what i thought.. i hope it doesn't sound too hard.. you know i love your work and i admire you two a lot...

I like the dark... I always seem to like dark walls (could be my photosensitive nature though). Something about the two characters doesn't seem to quite blend in well with the background but all in all I really like it. I hope I don't sound too critical! I couldn't begin to photoshop anything but I've been told I have an eye for it. oO

Another amazing wall from a challenge that has produced some truly stunning stuff. Never mind the challenge rules, it's a very well exected piece and that's that.

Totally less-than-three the underwater setting, it's just perfect for the scan. Only nitpick is that the air bubbles at the sides are a bit distracting, being so sharp and clear - could have been "pushed" into the background with some trasnparency and blurring.

Good work!

OH-KAY!! O_O O_O O_O

Well, i shouldn't be surprised. Another wall from the walling goddess! :D

But still, i can't help but be awed by the magnificence of this splendid work of digital art and imagination.

Sometimes, for walls like this, it's not justified to bring the technical aspect of things into the matter. As that'd be like...... you're taking a pleasant drive on the country side and suddenly you start talking or thinking math or physics or psychology or something... wtf..? -_-" Maybe it's necessary... but still.... >_>

But well, thats just my opinion. I can appreciate walls only from their aesthetic point of view most of the times. Because i am not much of a waller right now, so, i can easily overlook the technical aspect of such things :P

And i'm just glad that i do. Especially after seeing this and a few other previous walls by you.

There's hardly anything that needs saying for a wall such as this... other than... magnificent, beautiful, spectacular.... *and goes on with this for another 2 days... lol*

I just have to fav this wall, i just can't do otherwise! I'd fav this over and over again, if i could, though!

Dang! This wall made me so speechless that i didn't realize that there aren't any onion emotes in my comment! Omg.... what is happening to me?! >_< So, here's one.... for the wall.... <3

Ahhh.... muuuuuuucchhhhhhhh better... lol...

Coming back to the wall, well, there is just one thing that i think does need mentioning and i agree with the critique that has come before me, that the tittle or theme of the wall isn't really in coordination with the results of the wall. Could've been something like; Pure as Water.... or something.... you know... >_>Now, what is that pure is upto the spectator to decide :P

But thats just a small thing. I think. Can be easily overlooked.

Again, i'm just mesmerized by the sheer brilliance and beauty of your work and the wall itself. Just beautiful.

I can't wait to see your next awesomely awesome wall full of awesome awesomeness!! (9+_+)

This wallpaper is simply gorgeous! It's sorta like watching a painter on television... they'll be painting a blob and you'll be like, what in the world is he doing? And before you know it, he turns it into trees and a sun. Anyway my point, it's sort of similar to your digital painting! xD Your painting skills are fabulous and it must've taken ages to paint it so well!

|(o_o) emoticon Omfg. Anna. I am speechless. Being a fellow digital painter I would say this is one of the best digital paintings I have seen on this site. Not only is it amazing that you painted the line art of the scan and the entire background, but the fact that I looked intensely at the wallpaper a few times and could not tell it was digitally painted. I really am speechless and give you a big hand for this one! This inspires me to start painting again :) I havent been on photoshop in a few months...EEP >.< My only complaint really is the text for some reason hehe.

Overall, Magnificent job Anna, truly magnificent.

This wallpaper is simply amazing! I the render was incorporated very nicely with the background. I really like the background, so aqua and black. The bubbles look very nice and makes the water seem very realistic. The only thing that I find awkward is the comma for "don't". Thxs for the wallpaper, *addes to favourites*

OH-KAY!! O_O O_O O_O

Well, i shouldn't be surprised. Another wall from the walling goddess! :D

But still, i can't help but be awed by the magnificence of this splendid work of digital art and imagination.

Sometimes, for walls like this, it's not justified to bring the technical aspect of things into the matter. As that'd be like...... you're taking a pleasant drive on the country side and suddenly you start talking or thinking math or physics or psychology or something... wtf..? -_-" Maybe it's necessary... but still.... >_>

But well, thats just my opinion. I can appreciate walls only from their aesthetic point of view most of the times. Because i am not much of a waller right now, so, i can easily overlook the technical aspect of such things :P [2]

Awesome work on the aquatic environment. The fishes, the lighting, bubbles, and even corals are done wonderfully.

Overall effect is there as well. Regarding the long-over competition, I also don't see a season, as the fish nor the effects look particularly seasonal.
