Alright, now THIS is a present for Shinn, AP's very own Gallery moderator ^^ I still don't think this wall is exactly 'decent', but this time, I actually spent a lot of effort and time to making this. w00tazn and JTsang should know what this wall was before I totally changed it. The sky and mountains in the back (barely visible) were from two combined stock photos. Everything else is made from scratch, even the texture (jkjk...). Well, I'm pretty tired with this wall so I'll shut up and let you guys give me some crits. The annoying lines are actually done by accident, but I felt it gave off a certain mood that I was looking for so I kept it there. The clouds don't look exactly happy, which was exactly the ominous feel I was searching. This took about 50 layers and 2 days to finish. Textures were grabbed from http://www.mayang.com/textures Anyway, hope you guys enjoy! ^^
Now time for competition...rawr.

Hmm sketchy.. I like the mood though...
*squints really hard until tears form..
I think your text on the bottom is to the side almost to the point of getting cut off though.. lol ^^;

I think the angle of the brown building is a bit weird xD Shouldn't it be the same that the other one ? The title style is ok but I think the D of mind is somehow... annoying. The game of typo works with the P but the D feels like not connecting to the rest. o_o Dunno why though...
One more thing. People seem to use a lot of textures lately and if I were you, I'd use them with parsimony because it tends to make the picture flat and dirty not to mention the fact they are most of the time used to hide a lack of details. ^^;
It's still is a good composition and creation. :) Keep up the good job!

This is really cool. I really like the effect of the background and the character. It adds a very nice touch to the wallpaper. This style is cool. A really cool wallpaper Great job. I'll be looking forward to your future releases...

Hehe Shinn dedicated XD He will highlight this one lol You did a nice job with the textures and the overlay is vivid though not annoying. Overall I would give a 8.5 score X3

Alright. The edit option hates me. I took out the texture, thanks to Graphicfighter. Many thanks to JTsang and Graphie (I'll call you that from now on xD).

Oooh yes I'm liking the wall a lot better now without the texture.. ^^
7 years, 7 months ago
Hey you took my words lol XD.. well I really meant them and it looks so much nicer now (especially those ray of lights, very purdy). Clean and crisp! :p *fav* kekekke
7 years, 7 months ago
Nyyyuuu@____@ i dled the textured version._. *gets the no texture one>_<* i like it without x3 but the light rays and the skytrain window reflections funny@__@the direction... and the red and blue of the skytrain's bright compared to shinn=x but i like the skytrain^^'' and the bg behind it~^^~ goodjob~
7 years, 7 months ago
it is a nice wallpaper ^^ but i think the text would be better if you put it up, for the middle o.O
7 years, 7 months ago
Woooow 0_0 this is really somthing man i like it!!!!!!love itttt
7 years, 7 months ago
lol, second present?! Thanks again XD. And indeed I like this wallpaper and the fact that you made almost the whole background by yourself. Props for that! :)
7 years, 7 months ago
OMG!!! I LOVE THIS PIC. Shinn looks so good I love the colours, you did an outstanding job! The background look great too! Keep posting new ones
7 years, 7 months ago
The light rays are a bit extreme. :P
Angle...angle...angle... I think it is a bit off for hte buildings, it'd look most correct if it was perpendicular to the railing/skytrain. XD
Colour. Shinn is REALLY colourful compared to his surroundings... as well as the skytrain. Those blue/red stripes can use some toning down. XD
Buildings. Again, the perspective is kinda weird, although it's possible in RL to look like that, it'd look best if it was perpendicular. But that's probably just me. The windows aer a bit lacking in detail, and I don't have any suggestions... XD Anywyas, on the brown building, the windows stop going? That kinda bugs me, since its like window...window...window...TRUNCATE!
Text. You're definitely improving in this area... XD But like people already said, it may be better if the big letters weren't SO apart from the rest of it. Oh. And I think it's Gundam SEED Destiny. XD

Aside from the funky angle and a little overblurriness here and there, the wall looks great. The context is a bit odd.. I dunno what the scan has to do with the the train or whatever, but it's not that big of a deal. Nice wall HK, you are walling obsessed monster!
7 years, 7 months ago
Shinn! =] like him considerably more outside of the anime. First of all, angling problems: the support of the bridge for the train is off. It'd be tilted if you rotated the image so that the bridge and the ground are both level. I personally feel the blue and red streaks on the train are a bit too bright and clear and solid at the beginning point. And the way the buildings, which look rather 2D, meet the ground is kinda off too. It's tilted...The brown building and the right part of the next building w/ many windows are all at the same angle. But the left half of the plenty-window building is at a different angle--further counterclockwise (top to the left side, bottom to the right side). And the text is kinda hard to read but i don't really mind. And i luv your clouds in the bg! they r sooooo cool ^^
7 years, 7 months ago
Everything looks great HK ^-^ But I think on the bottom right part of the wall is a bit too plain : ) I especially like the rays of light and the scan is positioned just right! Fav. Great job.
7 years, 7 months ago
really great work on the bg man the atmosphere and typo is really well done. The jaggy edges on the scan are troubling me a little though. they kinda decrease the walls quality just a bit. but a very nice job anyways...
7 years, 7 months ago
Hmm, first of all the extraction on Shinn's hair is a bit rough. But everything else is nice. I like the textures and I lalso like the ray of light you put there. Great job!
7 years, 7 months ago
This is a unique wallpaper, haven't seen one of this nature for a character yet (let alone Shinn). The wallpaper has a very mellow atmosphere, with what appears to be buildings and an EL in the backround, different approach from fire and gundams =p.
Very high quality scan of shin, and very nice color. Simple classic design, not bad.
Good work.

Good Job, Looks good

Nice work HN! :D I love the train in the background. ALthough I cant tell if its moving very fast or its just a beautiuflly non segmented train. x) Good work on the background, the textures were well chosen.
7 years, 7 months ago
wow thats cool I really like shinn ^___^
7 years, 7 months ago
not very good....maybe bcos i dun like the character
7 years, 7 months ago
Yea he gets on my nerves some time but this is a cool wallpaper
7 years, 7 months ago
hm...a nice idea of an wallpaper. I like the combination of different styles( textures, normal stuff etc...) the composition is good, but some stuff looks hard, they could use some softer edges. some thextures looks big ( I mean...like a big stone) so the textures should be a bit smaller when the distance is further away. the light effect looks nice and so the bg does.
7 years, 7 months ago
Nice wall...background is good...but somehow it feels like it doesn't fit with the scan....
7 years, 7 months ago
thanks for sharing!
7 years, 7 months ago
Ah How can i live with GSD...Shinn, gd job!
7 years, 7 months ago
OoOoOooO!!i like the interesting backround!!!i love this scan of shinn!he is so hot!! ;D i like the contrast of the scan to the light!! you did an awesome job on that! the scan is very smooth! no grains what-so-ever!!!! is that supposed to be a train right behind the building?if so,looks interesting!^^ i have to put this on my favs!!
7 years, 7 months ago
Cool! :)

nice wall~~i like ......but the boy.......
7 years, 6 months ago
the quality of the wall is really great, especailly shinn, he looks really cool!! As for the background, it looks a bit odd as its a bit of the today technology.......u should make it a bit of future high technology..........but its ok, it looks really great, the effects are really clear.....keep up the good work!!
7 years, 6 months ago
you did a great job with the background!
7 years, 6 months ago
The concept looks good but the execution has some weakpoints. There are perspective problems when the bridge, the buildings and the ground come together and the train looks out of proportion. As I already said the concept and the atmosphere are good but the mistakes bother me.
7 years, 6 months ago
you've done a great job with the wallpaper. shinn looks really cool here. and hopefully, he gets "peaceful minds" after he was pwned by athrun a.k.a lost very badly. spoiler. ups
7 years, 6 months ago
huh... y train... i get if a gundam was like hanging aroudn but y train?? great job :D
7 years, 6 months ago
I like it. It would be kinda cool if it had an impulse or destiny in it but, alot of other wallpapers have it
7 years, 6 months ago
Lovin the wallpaper - and I just finished watching this anime too.
Shinn was definitely taken for granted much in the series. I wish more of the story revolved around him.
I love Shinn's expression and the background. Fits very nicely.
7 years, 6 months ago
Cool pic. Shinn rarley looks so calm in the show so its good to see a better side of him.
7 years, 6 months ago
Nothing to say, Just great!!!!!
7 years, 6 months ago
awsome job i love it^_^
7 years, 6 months ago
Wow, kakkoii na!!! I like his expression so much!! but What background is that? seems a little bit unclear. I think you should put impulse or destiny gudam as it's background. or you can put another character because it's still have useless empty space. if you put gundam as it's background, it won't have useless empty space right? just try it! by the way, It's a very cool wallpaper!
7 years, 6 months ago
Shinn is teh awesome-ness!!! <333333333

Nice wallpaper even though their is a lot less action that you'd usually find in wallpapers.
7 years, 4 months ago
I really, really like this. It's dark without being depressing. Very nice. :)
7 years, 2 months ago
I think this is a great wall. The background is well-planned, with buildings and the railways, that creates a city feeling. I see that there is a use of textures on the building, which add interest to the wall. As for Shinn, it was well extracted, clean and smooth. Great job!
7 years, 17 hours ago
I can't seem to like the rays and lights because they look kinda funny. The buildings are well-made and I like the train part there too. Anyway, the background is fitting for Shinn's mood there so it's okay.
6 years, 11 months ago
The angle makes it interesting to look at. +fave, awsome job.
6 years, 11 months ago
The train behind him was a very nice touch. It may be out of place but I think it totally goes together with the picture you've used of Shinn.

I LOVE the colours on shinn his expression really fits the mood of the picture
