I _had to make _ a wallpaper last Saturday... Jigoku Shoujo came to my mind, since I love the dark, creepy, pretty design of Ai. [The series, however, is boring... as hell. =D The fillers/repetitive episodes, I mean.]
Well then. I decided to use this scan (Minitokyo). I extracted and cleaned Ai's figure. From the beginning, I want her in a dark, degradated, creepy, sad, hopeless scenery. To compose it, I started by two stocks (sky and a cement decayed room), by Resurgere (at DA). Although, they are almost unrecognizable now... :D Then, messing up - shadowing, adding (my own) textures, bla, bla, and bla. The wallpaper took me about two hours of work (not counting with the extraction, that needed about 20/30 minutes).
Hope you like it... ;o] Oh, and I will gladely accep good sugestions for a title!
Comments (approving and also disapproving ones), favourites, tips, suggestions, et cetera are precious to me! ;3 Thank You! (~_~)
* * * * *
EDIT !
Oh, wow! It was really a pleasure to red each comment... I must THANK again all the people who favourited, commented and downloaded this wall! The "shivers", the "horror movie"... God, I am so glad you felt that and liked the wall! ~Totally made my day! :3
By other side, yours comments were very, very useful, they shown me defects that I wasn't aware, they worn me about some important details in a walpaper. For exemple, I must confess that until now I never looked at the function of a wallpaper while I was making one - to display in the desktop! So, elements like my signature shall never lie in the upper places.
So, I will TOTALLY upload a new version of this wallpaper, to try to fix the problems you had shown me. I can't do it today since I have an academic work to finish (already in delay), and opening Photoshop is dangerous Dx - but I will work in it ASAP! Things to change:
- Try to clarify if Ai is floating or at the ground;
- Blur softly the side of the room that id a little less than the other one;
- Change the signature placement;
- Give Ai some shadowing, and try to blend her better;
- Get rid of:D the glow around Ai - specially because it is notorious only in the bottom half of her figure. (Indeed, this was already bugging me! :3);
- ...
Once again, I'm very grateful to all of you! ♥
EDIT II ! Second version uploaded. I hope, to better one...
The first version can still be found HERE.

A very good anime even if sometimes it's repetitive. I like the effect put on this combination. The result is very good but the writings on the upper right corner are a little bit out of place. Anyway, good work.

definately one of the best jokoku walls around,wish you had in 5:4 format but still I ll fav it cause it captures the darkness which lies inside Ai.

Great work! Enma Ai in a dark theme. I really like the background, it suits her perfectly!

I dunno what to say, so I'll just make this short. It's great, I love it. Fav! xD

The title eh? How about "Darkness Consumes"? XD
It's really awesome - the dark atmosphere, the sky and the abandoned building fit perfectly. I'd add more shadows around/below the girl, though. It kind of looks like she's floating in the air...But if that's the effect you wanted to achieve, please ignore this. :D
Anyway, great wall. *favs*

so creepy wall but i like it...
5 years, 3 months ago
wow! this is really nice wall,(^t^) I've always loved dark and elegant walls, it always gets into me.
i would give alot of credit for the background, cause it looks great!
Enma looks so cute just standing there all by herself in the rain. although i would prefer it better if she was wearing her new kimono,the one from season 2.

CREEPY. Very well done in the making of this creepy wall. I honestly got shivers down my back when I first saw the thumbnail.o_o

The perspective put into the bg is really surreal and eye catching! The texture used like from an old film texture really brings out the wallpaper. Colours between bg and character matches very well too.... simply real and fantastic!
5 years, 3 months ago
It's a great wall =D I like the dark, sad feeling you gave to it ;)
5 years, 3 months ago
i kind of like the wallpaper, it a bit darker thani would like that but still its a nice wallpaper, i am really impressed by the effect use in it, its clean and well finised, great job on it
5 years, 3 months ago
the scan look perfectly well with the BG even though there is one thing that bother me is the quality of the BG , it looks pretty funny with the side of the building being blurred and the other side is not overall this is a great wallpaper, great color scheme and great text you used
5 years, 3 months ago
I like how it has a faint grunginess to it, and with the rain it has a heavy feel that adds to the creepiness. The atmosphere for this piece is really very well crafted. One thing I wondered about though- is she supposed to look like she's floating? She sort of does to me, but I guess it doesn't really matter since she has a bit of a ghostly presence anyways. Nice work!
5 years, 3 months ago
Very nice wall indeed. I think that you could have made a second version were Ai would have adjusted brightness/contrast to stand out less through. Nice use of stock and effects ^^
5 years, 3 months ago
OMG!! this is awesome dark wallpaper! (9+_+) I love the BG, and omg the atmosphere looks scary ~(@_@)~ and oh the place as well! lol it's completely incredible work! Keep it up. +FAVV it ^^

Awesome Dark wallpaper :D i love how you made the BG and this whole wall looks like a horror movie ^^ the colors are great as well and this wall is going to be my new fav! +FAv

Spooky, Mysterious and Mesmerizing.
Amazing work indeed. Love the background and Ai's spooky presence. Textures used create a very nice background that blends well with Ai. Ai's expression is a little weird though but I'm fine with that. Its the Girl From Hell afterall.
My only complaints would be the text at the top right hand corner. Wouldn't it be better if its places at the bottom where the taskbar covers it.

I like this. I have to admit, I didn't read all of the comments before me, too many of them XD Here's my thoughts: I love the grungy feel of it. It really suits Ai. (And I completely agree with you about the series--so boring!) Ai does look like she's floating a little bit. I'd work on getting rid of the very slight glow that's around her bottom half. That should help with that.
As for your signature, I say put it where you want it. I understand folk's sentiments about it being a wallpaper and all, but the way you've got it doesn't effect that all that much. There are plenty of great wallers whose sigs aren't at the bottom (Yina and Storm-and-Fire are two that come to mind, and they even worked in dedications and website links!) Just my opinion!
Great job on the wall!

remember me... anyway.. just wanted to say i really like this wall... i like dark walls but there are so few around... i like the effect givent to the clouds... red higlights are really different, seeing that the sky is grey... and enma's floating I think... cause her feet are not flat on the ground and I don't think she can stand that much on tip toe... the ravens (i think they are ravens) at the back add a nice touch to the bg... a little form of life but usually a symbol for the opposite...
fav!

Impressive wallpaper! I just love the concept, It's trully dark and tragic and misterious all at the same time ^^ I adore the background. The only thing it bothers me its Ai's colors (I think she doesn't blend with the bg very well). Other than that, your wall is simply marvellous!
Hope to see more walls from you soon!

If you can make her eyes and upper face unseen (by darking effect), it can be more horrific #(u_u)#
