I love it, it reminds me of Two Door Cinema Club's video for "Something Good Can Work." Nice job!

OMG I can't get over this wall. The colors are great, the lines are clean, and you just turned a good shot into an awesome wall. Plus the art nouveau style is right up my alley. Way to go! I want to use this on my desktop (I didn't realize my 1600x900 resolution was so uncommon!), but my mountain of icons kind of ruin the image. When I reorganize I'll be using it, but it'll take a while : )

Very nice! It reminds me of a kaleidoscope. Very well done.

I agree with @Yaten2, this looks distorted. I think you should have worked a little harder to get it the right size without stretching the image so badly.

Um. Wow. I guess I'll start with the good: your kitties are adorable. Nice job.

Now, for things that are not so good: everything else. This really makes my eyes bleed. I like that you pulled off some good lighting effects, but the rest of this wall is so bad I want to cry. The pattern on the wall is too busy and is of very poor quality. The lamp is well done but the pattern on the lampshade clashes with everything else. The fireplace [not this "cheminey" business, which is actually spelled "chimney" for the record] has exactly zero depth. You used realistic patterns and a vectored fire, which I don't understand at all. The floor looks ridiculous. Why can you not stick to one style? Either do realistic effects or vector everything. Mixing the two looks horrible most of the time. Only a few wallers here can pull it off. You are not one of them.

This needs a serious revision. Immediately.

So...where's the rest of it? That's not a simple background. That's not a background at all. A simple background would be a hint of a pattern and text not aligned on the bottom of the wall where part of it will end up cut off by a taskbar. A simple background would be more drastic gradient, turning that circle into a sphere, and a few brushes. This is just lazy. You spent a little time on your vector and were in such a rush to get a wall accepted that you didn't put any thought into the background. Based on the vector, I'm pretty sure you can do at least a little bit better for a background than this.

WOW! This is really different from your other Sailor Moon walls. I like it. The colors in this one are more...mature, I guess. They aren't geared toward an audience that only likes pinks and purples and "girly" colors. It's been ages since I've watched Sailor Moon, so I can't speak toward Sailor Pluto's personality, but the color scheme definitely suits her costume. You've done a really great job with your vectors as usual, but her right leg is a bit jagged against the background and could use a touch-up. I personally don't mind the light effects, but I do prefer the darker version. Nice job.

It's nice, but too plain for me. One of my favorite parts of Spice and Wolf is that everything is so detailed. At the very least this could benefit from more detail in the hair and tail. The background works really well for me, but it would have been better to see a more detailed vector to balance the simplicity of the background. Right now it looks like it's only half done. I think Horo could also have benefited from a few outlines, at least to create a little more definition between colors that overlap like where her pant legs meet and her face against the lighter part of the background.

This is very cute. It's been a while since I've seen a nice wall that didn't focus on vectors. Her fur is a little too dark for the background in my opinion, but overall it's really cute. Nice job.

I've been looking over your wallpapers so far. You're pretty accomplished already as a waller, but try not to brag about how little time it takes to throw a background together. The viewer can usually tell when little effort is put in to any aspect, and it only hurts the quality of your wall [in my eyes, at least] when you confirm your inattention to quality, particularly in your first and third walls.

I like the sepia tone you've added to the "photograph," but the edges are too sharp to work with the overall feel. If they were real photos, they'd be bent and ragged and corners might be missing. It's good, it's just very basic. You're really on a roll with walls, considering how new you are to this community.

Visually, this is much more interesting than your first wall. Between the two versions, I like the first one better but the second one has a very cool effect. I'm guessing that you go by Mercurio somewhere--you should really make sure your signature matches your username here or it might get flagged and you could end up losing papers or getting banned.

This is much more crisp than your previous wall, which I'm glad to see. I like that there seems to be a surge in Sailor Moon walls lately. It's a classic that shouldn't be forgotten and you've brought a new perspective to the series.

It's very nice, but it seems rushed and it is blurry. The format doesn't matter, either; viewing both the JPG and PNG formats results in the same blurry picture. A shame, it could have been really cool. It needs a general sharpening-up. It looks a bit like it was created at a smaller size and expanded. Remember to always start big and get smaller, not the other way around.

As far as trying to express a feeling of warmth, you've done it. However, I'm not a fan of silhouette walls, so this isn't really my style. Not bad for a first wall overall, though.

Those manga are actually both by this artist, hence the similarities. I wish I had an art style that was so recognizable!

Your vector is really beautiful! The circles are cute, but the bubbles are kind of blurry. It's hard to get them just right, though. I'm not too crazy about the PS logo personally, but it's a different concept. However, the sphere the "Ps" is on is blurry. You have a lot of crisp pieces to this wall like the circles and your vector, but then for everything that's crisp, you have something that's blurry. It's a good wall, but it's not great. I think your best bet is to go back and vector everything, rather than using outside resources as-is. There are tons of tutorials on how to make 3-D spheres and reflective shapes. Good luck!

It's nice, just not my style. It would have been more impressive for me if you'd gotten rid of the bubble and just worked up some extra lines for his white...cloaky...thing. The lines are sharp and the background is really impressive, it's just a bit too dark for my taste. Overall, good job.

This is fun... right?

I tend to go more for colors that are mostly true to the original scan, so this is really not my thing. You did a great job on the vectors and the patterns are just right, but this would really look a lot better in the original color scheme.

I love this. The little bit of color is really eye catching without being distracting. I'm not sure if it was intentional, but I like how the cloudy bit in the bottom right looks a bit stormy. It offsets the brightness a little. Great job.

Wow. I like your not-mothy moth much better than the one in the scan. His hair turned out quite nicely. I love the background. The color swirls remind me of flames. The font works well with the colors and shapes. It also makes for a nice block of text. Great job!

I love purple! Very cute idea. It would have been nice to see Chii vectored to better match the rest of the wall, but she doesn't look bad. Hopefully you'll get the hang of vectoring soon! Photoshop can be tricky when you first start out, but you'll get it if you stick with it!

This turned out great! I love Nami's dress, particularly the detail at the hem. Paisley's my favorite. Your trees are lovely. Sometimes it just takes a little tweak, like an extra shadow or highlight to make the difference. I like how the dragon's colors offset the pink and keep the wall from being too girly. Well, the dragon and Luffy's finger up his nose. Great job!
