More Macross Frontier <3
This was a hard scan for me to clean up, extracting it was simple enough but having to remove the text and those boxes and what not was not as easy as it first looked. I went with the original theme of clouds from the scan as I felt it suited it best. I did try out a space scene a few times but I just couldn't get it to work right. All in all it took me about a week, on and off, to finish this. Enjoy~

amazing amazing job on cleaning up the scan!! *claps* i could probably never do it that good ahah(: *thumbs up* and i love the idea of the cloud theme, it's very gorgeous how you replaced it with cleaner clouds. despite that being said, i think you should have made the clouds a darker hue or tone or whatever to match the picture more because for me, it sort of clashes with the scene--like the scene is all action-ish and yet the background is too dreamlike for a realistic touch. i hope i'm making sense here XD well overall, i think you did a fantastic job (esp with the grueling cleaning up of the scan you had to do) keep up the awesome work(:

*Jumps with joy* Yay Macross Frontier! Finally someone made a wall out of that scan. I've been waiting for someone to make one for so long. Even thought of making one myself, but then i got lazy. =O So im glad you made it. It looks great, and good job on removing all those text and stuff. The only thing that you may wanna fix is Alto's hair. The ends of his hair is kinda sharp and contrasting to the soft puffy clouds. So you may wanna soften it down, by adding a slight soft layer of cloud/fog over it to make it look softer. Everything else looks great though. Good job, and keep it up. ;D

A very good work cleaning up the scan. After adding the texture over the scan i almost thought it was vectored~ Dreamy and it give a beauty and the beast feels although it's kinda opposite in 'hime' and ranka's situation =x
Keep up the good work

Hi,
I agree that this wallpaper is well done. I like the overall theme, colors and the dreamy and soft atmosphere - and this is even without me having to watch macross frontier.
What I think might have been improved - is the shadow drawn on the clouds. It should be less regular and probably changing opacity depending on whether the cloud it shoud be seen "on" is nearer to the source (in this case the ship) or further back. In the former case you'd draw it most likely as dark as you did. In the latter case however you'd soften it and make it more transparent.
This is the only flaw I see in this wallpaper. Thank you for sharing - and in a super high resolution which would satisfy even the 30" LCD my elder brother has at home ^^;
good job.

All though I am not a fan of this series this wallpaper is to beautiful to ignore. I love the feeling it gives off. Great colors and cleaning of the scan. It's a great wall.

The first thing I noticed when I first saw this wallpaper was the angle that the scene seemed to be shot from. I really like the perspective, and I applaud you for pulling that off, because I've always found that it's a difficult task ~ Of course, a good scan always helps, but I feel that an artist's execution is also key.
It was a good extraction, and you did a great job cleaning the scan and filling in the missing spaces where there had been text and boxes. The lighting is good - the highlights and shaded areas - and it really gives it that feel of being in the clouds directly underneath the sun, which the texture also contributed to, I think.
The clouds look fantastic, and I'm honestly glad that you went with the clouds rather than a space theme, because I agree that the theme that you did decide on suits the scan very well. A lot of people might say that this is one of those walls that looks too much like the original scan, but I frankly enjoy pieces like these, because they're clean, simple, and crisp.
Nice work ~ keep it up : )

I love this! I didn't expect to like this series as much as I do and I was in need of a really nice Macross Frontier wallpaper. You did an excellent job. It must have taken you a lot of time to complete. I can't even image. I love the colors and the texture. *favs*

I don't know which I like more, the title of the paper, or the paper itself. I remember watching this episode and the scene was pretty intense. You seemed to have captured it really well adding on more features that bring out the scene even better. Very clean scan.

Simply beautiful. From the moment I first saw this wall I was enthralled by it. The scene itself was a particular favorite of mine in the series, and the way this wall catches it is perfect. Great job on the scan cleanup, if I didn't know that this was from a scan I wouldn't have guessed. Truly wonderful, great job.

This one is really nice as it sums up the interplay between Ranka and Alto so well. Alto deep down cares for Ranka but is far too much of a flake. It is only in moments of danger such as this that you can see it.

Wow, neat. The cleaning must have taken a lot of work indeed. You really can't tell how much you had to remove.
As far as I can see this background works brilliantly, although a space one would have been interesting to see of course. I think though that, given the shade of the clouds, the image needs to be brighter - less tinged with twilight rays if you know what I mean.

nice cleaning! amazing. Nice color used, i like the flat look. (or how do u say it). it's like time is frozen at this precise moment. It gives a dreamlike scenery. Keep up the good work.

Really nicely cleaned up and I love the general composition of the entire scene. I'm glad you stuck with clouds as it softens an otherwise dark hued pictures. The colors look really good, not too saturated and just enough for the viewer to focus on the expressions of the characters at hand as well as the gut-wrenching moment they're experiencing.
I do wish you added a bit more variety in color of the clouds in the background though. They're all kind of... the same shades of blue and white at the moment, and I would've liked to see some color variety and/or some deepening of hues here and there.
Otherwise, it's a really nice wallpaper and I'm proud to have it on my desktop. :)
