What Exactly Is Pink? by °dalarty 1 week 4 days ago

Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!

Location Cards? Ok, we don't need to stick with MtG anyways. I just used it as base.

Using the term blue/red/etc magic is a bit awkward. I'd be incline to use Science/Nature/Magic/etc factions instead. Works better with Location cards. The term mana can be replaced by faction points.

Majority should decide. They are just lazy. I thinked about mana cards.

Rather than calling the cards land, why not call them Locations?

The main image of Inuyasha looks like it could use some cleaning up. The "X" in the background looks kinda pixellated, too. And the text seems to pop out, drawing my eye more to that than to Inuyasha.

Overall, it looks kind of slapped together. My advice is to try experimenting with blending all the elements together somehow. I don't really have any suggestions for that, though.

Okay loss the text and the picture of the eye...its so distracting from the overall wall. I like everything else...but the text and the picture of the eye really isn't necessary.

Not bad for a first wall I should say. The image needs work... cleaning I should say or maybe you can put in a better quality scan of Inuyasha on your wall. The background seems kind of bare to me. The text effects and texture is good. add a litle bit more elements to wall.

Hmm. Okay, I understand that you're still looking for a way to clean up the main image, so I'll ignore that. Getting rid of the text and eye is great, giving you a blank slate, so to speak, but now your wall is unbalanced. Your background (the color, not texture - the texture's great), in its present state, doesn't complement your core image. Unfortunately I can't tell you where to go with that except play around with the levels (that's what I would do).

Going back to your original elements: I think the eye is a great concept - if you could enlarge it (how much is up to you) and fade it into the background (but you'd need to get rid of those edges, do some work to blend them in with the bg) that'd be sweet. As for the text, perhaps you could choose one word, one phrase (and fade that, too, maybe? give it an echo?) to place strategetically.

I suppose what I'm trying to say here is go for a balanced piece, but use subtlety. I like what you were trying to go for in the original; you should try to capture that. It's just that the original was too harsh.

Hrm, do I make sense? Hope this helps.
