Catch a falling Petal Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight! Wallpaper

Alright, it all started with a screenshot taken from a scene in the animation. I decided I wanted to do something with it and started experimenting, leading to a handy vector (bad pun~). Someway between somewhere and nowhere I ended up with a rather strange background, which in a creepy way actually fit the original idea I had planned for the wallpaper. On the contrary, I don't think anyone has ever made a Manabian wallpaper this dark and color void. I personally believe it turned out rather good though - the idea at least. How colorful and bright feelings can gray out the world around the person who experiences them.

I am in debt to the people of brusheezy.com for the beautiful brushes found there, as well as 1001freefonts.com for the never-ending supply of wicked stuff.

If you wonder why I didn't chose a high-color cheerful and bright setting, that's basically why I didn't. And I really enjoyed making this piece of rubbish (it may look like it at first glance, I'm well aware of that~) and if you like it - enjoy. Otherwise simply don't.

Poke me if you want to borrow the lineart I used, I'd love to see someone else have a go with it. Too bad I'm to lazy to upload it to AP~

Well, I think the idea alone is amazing. But you also did a very good job of making the wallie. :3 Personally, I think some of the text coulda been blended more, but that's prolly just me.

+Fav because it's just so cool. ;D

I really love it! This is what I've been looking for! I've never seen this anime but it looks amazing (the wallpaper that is)! I like the brush strokes you used as well as the text. Also I think it looks really well because the image is sharp despite the random shades!

Definitely a Fav!8)E

~(@_@)~ So not in the characteristics of the show... You really went with your own idea here! Congratz I really couldn't believe this was from MS! The darkness is definitely a new approach to the show and art and you pulled it off pretty nicely. Nice job!

This wall, which barely shows the face of the character has a great concept, and the darkness is great too --> I don't have to strain my eyes to see my light colored icons ^.^

Great textures you used at the back, but I think you could add more detail to the hands, more shading of colors, etc.

Still, the fresh concept makes this a nice enough wallpaper ^^

I like the abstract feel alot and the composition it's a different approach to walling since most walls are of pretty girls and I like how everything is dark and then you have the beauty of the flower petal nice job. B+ |(C_C)|

I love how you portrayed the concept -- the blending of the images in the background is great. Even though the majority of the wall is monochrome-like, it still manages to deliver the 'cool' factor, and quite successfully gives emphasis to the theme. I'm not really sure about the brush behind the pink petal, it seems a tad out of place. Anyway, awesome work! ^^

Ah, a Manabi wallpaper with darker tones, very well, very well. I like the atmosphere it creates, the intimacy with the subject, the lone petal being welcomed.

It shows the depth of emotion in this show I felt was often glossed over in favor of the cute factor (cute it is, sure, but it is not everything about it)

Speaking from the unbiased view of someone who has never seen the show and can't compare it to anything else, I think it's wonderful. I look at it and I immediately get the feeling of protecting something small and precious that brings light to a dim world. I also love the concept expressed by the text you chose, and the effect of the individual words you scattered in like a subtle magnetic poetry set. This is a wallpaper that makes me want to watch the series and see what it's about. ^.^
