This is my 2nd wallpaper that I've done for Animepaper, and 2nd for Gurren Lagann. I just loved the series so much, I'm in such a GL mood xD
Anyhoo, this is probably the 6th revision of this particular Wallpaper, it's gone through so many transformations I can't even remember what it first looked like. I have to say I'm fairly pleased with the result, though I'm not sure if everyone else will be =S
My goal was to keep things minimalistic - a sense of simplicity, while at the same time as much attention to detail in order to bring out the emotion of the scene. For those who haven't watched Gurren Lagann, the scene might not strike you as emotional as those who have seen it. Nia wasn't originally there and it was titled differently, but I thought adding her in would create a different sense of mood, and I think it works. The only problem was comparing their heights - Simon being taller by half a head, though in this particular wallpaper, he is leaning over which made determining Nia's height quite annoying. Still not sure if it's right, but I'm definetely close!
Lastly, I want to say a big thank you to my friends Azz and Mo (you know who you are) for their contributed critisicm towards my work. Without them, I'd have no idea what other people are thinking =S
P.S. I also realize that Black and white is not a style everyone likes, so I did try a few other designs.
Dramatic Red: Leaves are full blown red and nothing else is in colour. I particularly like this one myself, but I've been told the red is very very distracting.Dramatic Red
Blue Skies Ahead! Same as above with red leaves, but with a smooth blue sky as well. Blue skies Ahead
Any comments about either of the wallpapers is greatly appreciated. I'm not quite used to this style of design, but I did enjoy doing it!

Who believes in yourself!
I like the simplistic finalization (actually don't like the colored ones as much). Because it's simplistic, I'd say that there's nothing to be too excited about, BUT the wall does look good to me. The characters work better when you know who they are (and I do), so I'd definitely say that fans of the series will definitely enjoy the wall whereas others probably not as much (just my hypothesis though).
I'm a fan, so you've done an awesome job in my eyes!

awesome, the tree is wonderful, and the faded cityscape adds just enough to the image to make it necessary

Great wallpaper, it very simple, but pretty stylish. It also brings back very sad memories of the show.

Very nice wall, its simple which is definitely what makes it like able, IMHO. The black and white color scheme also gives it kind of a... would you say, nostalgic feel? I love it.

I really like that this uses what i felt was one of the most iconic images in the show. It's really well put together. Simplifying the sketched style info monochrome vectors makes it look really great in this wall.

While Black and White simplistic walls aren't my style, I can appreciate them when I see good ones.

Ooooo~ Nice concept you have here. I like wallpapers that give a simple feel. The city itself does not feel right with Kamina because Kamina never experienced life in a city before. That's just my opinion. Over than that. Nice wallpaper overall. ^^

I Know How You Feel About The Serie 8)E And This Sceen Almost Crusched me ! Thank For this one! Now i can get my pals to se it ! A Good wall makes one feel Really nice And this one does the trik!

Really like your wall. I have it as my desktop at the moment, except I inverted the colors! :P I like the original form, and would have kept it the way it is, but I can't stand having a white desktop background. It's just too bright for my eyes :( If you're curious, invert the colors and look at it for yourself. Great wallpaper dude :)

Awesome wallpaper really top class. The minimalistic style is great, very nice and clan. Would have loved the plain black and white with the blue skies, as I am not crazy about the red.

I really like it! The composition is well done, as well as the typography.
B&W works fine in this :]

Lord Kamina...*sigh* Live on, dude, live on. This wall makes me think of that episode, as he walked away from Yoko swinging his dads cape saying that it would be 10x better.

As many said, simple, beautiful, and love the outline. I think the tree is random with the leafs or what those should be :P But far better then my attempts, so thumbs up. Keep up the good work!

I at is to the Gain show of image one-year-old this which feels use like with realness. It' S wells of the realness which is assembled. Sees the style information monochromatic vector which sketches, simply does in compliance with in it from this wall is serious with realness and makes. The completion which is simple (actually don' Like; t like that and likes them whom colors). it' In because; S where is simple, I' d there' Reveals; s approximately being excited anything too, but the wall the writing to be good tries. The quality is who, you this (), is like this I' When knowing, operates well; d positively the fan of series positively the wall the other side the different person reveals the point which is probably like that and to enjoy. Wallpaper normal type of highest realness. minimalistic styles are serious, they are a quite good whole group. To go out and about red without reaching and in order to be, will love the black-and-white plain in blue sky.

I'm a big fan of silhouettes and simple color palettes, and this one satisfies both. Props, I like it....and dude, flowing cape is so baller. I do have to ask, why that particular tree? I would have used a fuller and healthier tree to complement the determination present in that moment. Regardless, it's cool stuff.

I really like your style! I think that the sense of simplicity is really wonderful, and I really love the gradient on the cloak. This pose is from a really emotional scene and I appreciate that you got rid of the color to see the entire silouhette. It's, quite frankly, beautiful. Favorited!

The greatest quote of the entire series...makes me sad when i remember the fall of Kamina T_T. I swear the instant Kamina died it started raining outside my house, NO JOKE O.O anyway PICTURE! just the fact that the picture is in black and white suggests greatness (i've been noticing that in DA most people who use B&W rly can pull stuff off) <3 Nia is in this picture ^_^
