My fourth submission here and probably one of the most important for me.
I do believe that many of you have heard in the news about the fires set in Greece by arsonists, within the last weeks. More than 70 people died in these fires and even more than 3000 animals were trapped and burned in the farms. It is a great loss for our country and surely an event that will never be forgotten.
Considering this fact the university i am studying at the moment has taken some kind of action towards this. All of us had to talk about the occasion at the schools we are teaching for our practice and involve the kids into certain activities. Since it was summer and the schools were closed we decided to do this in a centre were every child would voluntarily take part in this event. We sent notes to every child that was at the schools we taught and more than 500 kids responded. Each day, 10 of us had to create a project based on the fires in separated classrooms. My kids decided to make a poster that would be published in a magazine. The message of the poster was “Stop killing Earth, our mother…”. Plus, the kids decided to make groups and every day they would take care of the small gardens we created in our schools and neighborhoods. Last but not least the university created a certain software for kids with lots of interactive activities that would allow them to know about fires. Believe me; you would like to participate in it as well. These incidents bring people together and most important it makes us wake up from the lethargy we are all in.
About the wallpaper. I had been working on it last month. Surely it wasn’t meant to have a hidden meaning this time. I just started it for my practicing in using “highlights” and “shadows”. When this event was taking place though, I knew that this wallpaper was meant to be completed. It is dedicated to Mother Nature and it symbolizes the birth of life in nature (the little girl born from the flower).
Time: More than a month Layers: About 60 Help with the lights: Adoc from Deviantart (he helped me so much with his advice/ http://adoc.deviantart.com/ ) Flower: A 3d object modified with gradient mesh in illustrator and then applied a texture on it / Stock: http://shd-stock.deviantart.com/ (Granted permission to use it in any way and I thank her for allowing me to use this amazing 3d object) Textures: My stock (if you want them, just send me a note) Scan: Found here in the gallery (and Minitokyo and In the Official Ragnarok Online page) Extra help: I want to thank Kalico for always being here for me, my best friend here anolibb (which by the way is kicking my butt these days for saying stupid things >.<), and PastorOfMuppets for making my signature (again^_^)
Ps. This scan is overused and most people here have made amazing walls with it. This is my version and has nothing to do with the scan being so pretty and popular, I just found it and thought it would best fit my idea. Thank you for your comments in advance.

the things that happened are terrible ;_; I'm always shocked when I hear about innocent people's animal's death. Life is so not fair. BEcause we all go on... and the memory fades, we forget. But they lost their only chance to live. And the thought is sad, although I do believe that their souls have found peace. About the wall. Well I have seen it lalala, and I like it. It fits your style perfectly. Thanks for sharing, glad you are back and didnt leave. Things are always solved after a while.

Yay, finally new submission from you! <3 I've been reading about those fires, it's nice that so many kids want to participate in such activieties ^^; Wall is really cute and I love colors (green! <3 ) It have very nice feeling in it ^^

Well, what can I say.... Firtsly I would like to thank you on behalf of both me and Maria for making this wall for the fire incidents that Greece suffered. It's important to us since we were strongly affected by them. Now, as far as the technical details are concerned, I like the atmosphere of the wall. The only thing I don't like is that parts of the grass look like they are enlarged and therefore, the quality is kinda bad. But other than that the wallpaper is good. Keep it up.

Simple beautiful! I also watched tv and saw the horrible fire in greek. My county send firemans too to help. The wallpaper is really beautiful. My first idea was that she is that little girl in the Andersen Fairy-Tale, how borned in a flower. I don't know the english name....

The word "beauty" falls all over this wall...
You did I really good job at capturing the magic feeling the scan needed and still be within the nature sector. I love the highlights behind the girl and everything seems to blend so well together!

such a tragic tragedy... ;_; in my country, fires often happens too...(nearly 3 times per month)...it's so horrible... as for this wallpaper...it's quite nice...I like the trees...>_>but I think Alpha and Omega title isn't very suited for this wallpaper...because I thought they have the meaning as beginning and the end (refer to Xenogears >:D>:D>:D)... well...adorable as always...+fav

Oh a new wall from you! I've always enjoyed your wallpapers, and this one is no exclusion. I like how you interpreted the scan, and how it symbolizes new life. I think you brought that out really well with the lighting and colors in this wallpaper. =3 However im not too fond of the blurriness at the top part of the wall. But still a good wall nonetheless, and you deserve a favie. =)

Yeah that fires suck... it's horreible that there are disasters like that, destroying tthe nature. I live in germany, here aren't such fires, but I think it must be horrible to lose home or something else... to the wall: First, I like the fact that it's a widescreen one ^_^ Also the scan fits almost perfectly with the great background, I like all the great green tones you used on the bg, they are gorgeous! Great piece of art, it really deserves a favourite! ^___^

That's a sad news indeed. i think it's a good thing u have the garden project for the kids. It's imported for them to learn early in life that we have to take care of our planet. As for the wall i love the wonderful feeling it gives out. The girl feel so light and soft the surrounding really add to the mood. I think you did a good job on this one it's a fav for me. :) Keep up the wonderful work.

geez, i'm so overwhelmed, I really don't have anything to say, as all your walls are breathtaking, words really do escape me, I wish adults were more like children, always open to learn and explore and being able to see beauty in everything little thing, we as adults should take more care of our environment, but we take it all for granted, thinking it will always be there. anyway, it really is a lovely wall, so I'll fave it~
4 years, 8 months ago
Wow... a really breathtaking wall. And with the background information you told in your descriptions, it just gets more interesting.
The only thing about it is, that it doesn't fit my desktop, cause of the widescreen format. I don't like blank lines on my desktop.
Keep it up! ;)

adversity is often a source of unity and that is one light during a terrible time. what happened in greece was a frightening disaster. i was shocked by what i was reading when i picked up some newspaper one day. the scale of this was so enormous and the whole thing was tragic -- it really made my heart go cold when i read about the story of the fate of one mother and her children...and how close they had come to picking the road that would have saved them. what's really sad is that the fires weren't natural but were made by arsonists.
onto the wall: you are an absolute artistic phenomenon. =] your painting is detailed and gorgeous. the lack of a shadow beneath the large flower confused me for a second, but i was drawn right back into the amazing-ness of your artwork. x3 i could go on and shower you with endless praises, but i think you can already tell my admiration for your work. so i'll just move on to +fav. :D
4 years, 8 months ago
Wow. Your inspiration behind this wall is just as amazing as this wall :) I love your works, and this wall is no different. For the sake of time (since i'm in the process of moving back to uni right now), I'll just say this wall is awesome ^^
Hopefully when things settle down for me, I'll get a chance to properly critique this wall. But for now, +fav

ah, sorry Mariel =.=' I'm slow to react to new walls... been kinda busy.
Anyway, the lighting on this one rocks, though I'm not too fond of the grass (I kinda agree with what storm-and-fire said, the grass looks kinda odd). My favorite part has got to be the mist.

The wall came out fantastic. And good job posting who you referenced. It's beautiful, and the complements between the greens and yellows and the red really add a nice touch. No complaints, it just looks beautiful. can't wait to start a collab soon :3

It's really ironic that when humans finally come to love and protect Earth, She came with many disasters which damaged Her children. I saw the fires over the news and was very sad for everything, the trees, the animals, the people... especially the smoke pouring into the air. This wall is the exact opposite of the fire. It has a cool feel, like healing. I love trees. I love green. I love this wall.

it took me a long to comment this but I can still do it right? Well Mouritsa did it again. She must be one of the really really few that has all of walls above S rating(in fact only one is S the others are all SS) And she did it by herself. With many inflences from classical illustrating and the graphic novels for kids she made that outstanding piece with really enchanting atmosphere! I can say that I m really impressed with you.In so few time , you ve made so many. Congratulations again and again.

The Firtslyi when it will make this wall of hazard will be extensive with substitution of the hazard both sides, coming out Mary it wants thanking the non event which the grease undergoes. Us by them because effect goes mad strongly it is important in us. Until the technical detail fact now, me likes the atmosphere of the wall. With is magnified in like that reason and like portion of the grass, quality Ul E about it is bad and to be only it does not like to go out that it sees, is. The wallpaper is good but other than that. Defends it the up.This point is colored in inside hazard to wondering Rob who is legitimate to skip the legibilityThe green which is improved, the structure is excellent,!

I think there are lots of people who said/saying: I love this,this is so nice! I don't want to repeat what everyone already said or still staying, but this don't means I don't like/love this much!
The flower is really nice ,but it is bad that she isn't standing in the middle of it. It looks more that she is in back of the flower... The green background is really nice(besindes it is my favourite color :3) And the light around the girl is really nice too
at all/after all a really nice wallpaper keep you're good work +fav

Very beautiful! The colors you use create such a peaceful and calm atmosphere, and the lighting effects make it look simply magical. The flower looks really nice...although it was 3-D, you made it look like it was painted in with the rest of the scene. I like the lighting effects you put on the grass as well...it makes the light look more realistic. The fluttering leaves and petals add a nice touch as well! Great job on this wall! .(n_n).
*Definitely one of my favorites*

This one is very beautiful and the various shades of green really look nice. Overall there's a lot of detail around the whole picture as well. If I had to make one complaint it would be the brown flower, but that's of course not at all your fault since it's hard to accentuate the green flowers and not get a little drawback on the brown. Anyway thank you a lot for this wallpaper.
