Look, it's all dark. Yay, I love dark wall. Combined with that blue green-ish color give it a nicer feel. Spike looks cool just standing there in the middle xD

i wonder what's the diffirent between your wall and the scan (o_o) Will you please let me know :D ?
5 years, 5 months ago
um i stalker no. 3?? i think there's a lot more texture to the wall than to the scan and the whole mood is different from the scan which is quite a significance if you ask me.

awesome wallpaper...keep up the good work!
5 years, 5 months ago
hmmm that's weird chaos... did you intend the scan to look like that on th bg? because what i see in my comp is this square slab (your scan) floating on a black BG...it doesn't blend and doesn't look seamless. maybe your monitor's too dark and u didnt notice? and the texture is too thick on his face it makes his face look pixelated =\ and maybe some text work so people won't ask what's the difference between this and your scan...or add those glowing butterflies from the movie
what i like in the wall is it's greenish mysterious tint :'D
5 years, 5 months ago
I'd have to agree with you. I think he took the scan, and completely ruined it. The entire thing looks pixelated. On top of that, I've seen this scan with the butterflies in, and graffiti on the walls, and it looked a hundred times better. That isn't to say that noone else should bother trying to top what has already been done, but this doesn't come close.

I like the colors here, it's a good contrast with the black. Yes, the edge of the scan shows, but i'm thinking it probably wasnt intentional. Alsom maybe if the texture was toned down a bit, it would be nice, but i personally dont mind it.

Rude would be acting like it's the best wallpaper ever made, and not pointing out any of it's flaws. As someone had just pointed them out in-depth directly above my post, I felt that giving my opinion of it (notice how it says "Your Opinion") was enough, instead of going into detail that had already been given.
I'm a believer in creative criticism, and rudeness has nothing to do with it. If a revision comes out of that criticism, then it was worth it.

so, talk back when you have at least 1 wall, CK has 29 and at least 2 of them have the highest rating that this site has to give. if you are going to leech, at least leech on silent, and spare us of noobish comments
Of course this wall has its flaws. just thinking the author of the L!ghtspeed does one wall like this... im disappointed of course. However if this was made correctly and with more time, this wall could prove itself by being a good piece of art.

So basically you agree with me, but since I don't create wallpapers based on anime, my opinion is less important. Makes sense, glad we cleared that up.
Other than what tatekane mentioned, there isn't anything else to fault this wallpaper for. Glad to know that you agree with me though. >:3
Thanks for the wallpapers ChaosKaiser, keep at it.

I'll have to agree with the black "box" around the scan, but I'll attribute that to your monitor. I often come across the same problem when working on my TFT and later doing finishing touches on my laptop. Maybe next time, before publishing, try looking at it with different levels of brightness and gamma - or even better a second monitor. Other than that, I really love the greenish tint; I've seen other walls made of this scan and most of them use a bluish color theme; the green is a fresh idea and does give it a nice mysterious feel. As the previous commenter said: with a bit of work, this might make a pretty amazing wall, so don't give up on it yet;)

Nice wallpaper there, the boarders are a little big but its gives that good feeling.
5 years, 5 months ago
I have to agree in some points with the other posters. The texture is really a bit thick and should be toned down a bit. I also like the green shine on the wall. It gives a special feeling and impression of the wall. Other than that I have also to agree that this wall could use some work. Don't get me wrong: I'm far away from the places you reached with your walls but I think I could just tell my opinion about your work.
I don't really like the thick black sites of the wall, I really think you could add something to spice it more up. Mmmmh, I'm actually wondering about what tAtEkAnE said before. I can't see the this black box around the scan. Maybe my monitor is also too dark.
Some last words about the discussion here with sammy: You can always tell your opinion but next time I suggest to think more about what you want to write before you did it. Can you imagine how you would feel by such a rude comment on one of your walls?! You can always say such things in a more nicer way.

People are talking about respect, rudeness and beig a noob here i see...well for starters noone has the right to comment about someone's comment here. If you wanna give answers to people just use the guestbook. They are 'pure opinions' as long as they don't involve harrasment which i can't see any here. People know that i am kinda out of business these days and i am not even commenting the walls but this is it. I am writing these here coz i am frustrated kinda... What is this exactly? a wall...a scan...a work in progress? tate already mentioned many of the things as flaws of this as a wall i think anyways. Excuse me but I can't see this as a wall to be honest; this is just insult. This is actually an insult to the wallers who are trying to improve the community's quality and working hard on their walls to make em look good. They are seriously working hard on walls whether if they are vector works or not. And in wall description I see that this one took 2 hours...must be a joke or something coz this won't even take 20 minutes to accomplish. Even a Phostosop noobie can understand that i think. Pasting a scan on a black background with a few filters or textures doesn't cut it. I always thought AP has improved quality and selection methods submission wise; but it seems i was very very wrong. If a developer can post something like this what should we expect from the rookie wallers then i ask you? Anyways; i am done here. Grtz on making me actually write something like this after all these months.
5 years, 5 months ago
Now let's see... Quite a controversial wall I should say. All in all, I agree with everything tate has said. As for the box thingy, I totally understand it. Making dark walls in dark screens is a pain in the neck, because you have to make sure that everyone sees it right... What we used to do in our old screen is use a white layer set to Soft Light to see if the dark stuff looks good enough.

5 years, 5 months ago
I don't get it...
Is the background supposed to be like that? It looks like a scan plastered on a black background. There's obvious black borders to the sides of the image, and it just looks very unprofessional. CK's done a lot of walls, and I'm starting to think this isn't really one of her walls at all... maybe a practical joke or something.
If it is one of your walls CK, then... might want to take the advice of the other posters here and clean it up a little :3.

I'm impressed that this got on the top rated for the day considering that the original problem is still there that many people commented on. Not sure what to make of it, but congratulations all the same.
5 years, 5 months ago
Nothing's rude about Sammy's comment. Perhaps she didn't really ruin it, but I sure as hell know that those black borders are spoiling it, and it looks like nothing really happened to the scan other than a levels and colour balance tweak. If I were to use that scan (I wouldn't) I'd make sure the walls on each side would extend so it doesn't look too empty. Aren't you sure you're not being rude yourself by criticizing someone else's opinion, which as far as I can see is justified?
BTW, not only have I not made any wallpapers, I've also hit the leecher's limit. Just wanted to point that out before someone comes up and tries to be funny.

Gorgeous wall...except the black borders sort of take away from the full effect. Perhaps next time find a larger version of the scan so you can fill more of the screen, or just not shrink it to match the height? Otherwise, great job on the image itself.

Yeah, uh... hate to kill the good mood, but this is terrible. The image in the middle is quite obviously just placed on the background. This could use some cleaning up, needs to be blended into the background color.
Blending isn't all that difficult.

The contrast of light in this picture is fantastic. I've seen a lot of pictures of Spike that have far too much light in them, I personally beleive he looks infinitely better with a lack of light, rather than copious amounts of it.

J'aime bien l'effet de l'image et la couleur. (~_~)

I love the dark melancholy feel of this wallpaper. It speaks well to Spike's character and to the feeling of the Bebop movie. I use this one a lot, its kind of my default paper. When I can't think of one to use I'll usually pick this one.

This wallpaper really left a deep impression on me when I first saw it - I like the spotlight on Spike and the atmospheric choice of colours. However, I do agree that the black bars (especially on the right) are a bit too stark, and perhaps could have been vectored more smoothly.

Really dig the composition of this one. Good job.
