This is one of my first wallpapers. I didn't want to get to complicated yet so this is what I did. I had some nice brushes with blood spatter and skulls as well as the Death Font for the "Death Note" text. It took me forever to find the other font for the famous Death Note sentence "The human whose name is written in this note shall die." I made the renders stick out a bit using outer glow. I saw that it was a bit too bright with all of that white so I toned it down a bit. And last but not least added a very small stroke around it and a nice on the eyes inner glow.

The one thing that sticks out to me is the Death Note sentence: it should be centered like everything else, so it should be moved to the right a little bit. The "the" touches L's back, while the "die" has a considerable amount of room before it touches Light's back.

nice contrast between black and white! i never saw this anime but people say it´s very good. about your project i´ll only reconsider the place and the size you put the signature. i prefer the ones that stands behind the windows start button and, consequently, don´t mess the picture on the background. congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Nice concept, and good vectoring, but there are some edges that looks kinda funny to me, for example, the top of light's head, that curve in there look kinda jagged, other than that everything looks great, nice job, keep it up.

I'm liking this background because it can be perceived either way, since there's black and white on both sides of the image. That's also the thing that I love about Death Note as a whole. Pretty much everyone that I know who has watched this anime is either an L supporter or a Kira supporter, so it's difficult to not be biased when discussing the anime or looking at a picture similar to this one. I myself am an L supporter, so I perceive L as a "good" character, therefore I see the white background on his side of the image, and Kira as "evil", therefore I see a black background on his side. I honestly don't think that made any sense, but great job anyways! I love the black and white, it keeps it simple and gets the message across efficiently (in a good way). Keep up the great work!
5 years, 7 months ago
Ooh, that's a nice juxtaposition of L against Light. Though I have to wonder, why is everything color inverted through the middle except the line "the human who's name is written in this note shall die"? Wanted to keep that one consistent so it'd be more noticeable to the viewer?

The black/white contrast is excellent, one of the best death note wallpapers i've seen for sure. It's simple but says everything: the conflict between two opposite sides. And the Death Note phrase, "the human who... blah blah blah", finish this masterwork. Very nice job man, added as a favorite. =)
5 years, 6 months ago
First Blood, Nice work it is a bit too simple but very nice just the same. I like that you went through finding the right Font for the right sentence it looks great. "3*z"

I love the black and white! And the quote adds a nice finishing touch.

Nice death note wallpaper. Really like the blood spatter effects and the simple contrast of black and white. Also really like the contrast between L and Kira, the skull effect is also very cool and matches very well with this wallpaper's concept and theme. Good job and keep up the good work, hope to see some more great work from you soon. Definitely adding this wallpaper to my favorites for sure.

Wow, I really like this one! o.0 The black/white (dark/light as you may want to call it) contrast, make the wall so simple but so pure brilliant!
It's a shame though that you put that sentence under "Death Note"... It cancels the effect the simple contrast leaves. It would have been better if you have left it out... but still... Brilliant Wallpaper!!!

Good ideas in this wallpaper! Two opposites at the mirror, light and shadows not too complicated but clear, outlined very well! The images seem two card with their background...

great job on the wall paper and nice choice of sentence
4 years, 3 months ago
Simple, yet effective. I really like the contrast effect there. It kind of helps you to see how Light and L are complete opposites. I really like the scan you used, too, by the way. What I think is really neat about your wallpaper is that you don't need the actual character images there in full color or anything. Just the contrasting silhouettes are necessary to convey the fact that the two figures are Light and L. The blood spatter effects are really cool too, and the sentence "The human whose name is written in this note shall die" kinda ties it all together. I like that font, too, even if it isn't exactly the same as the one used in the manga/anime. Where did you find it? I would love to type a school paper in that font...

Simplicity is elegance, and although I have my doubts as to the originality of your piece, that does not mean I don't admire it for the work of art it is.

i don't think you needed to stroke/border L and Light. Instead, you can just blue the background instead
