New one
Woah nice wallpaper, nothin grafic spectacle but nice vibe, hmmm if a city will at his place i would not know since then the perspective might screw up, maybe ya could try puttin a valey there
I like the background, but the scan doesn't really match the background very well at all. The extraction isn't too good - there are still white pixels around the guy's cape-y kinda thing.
The quality of the scan is pretty good. You don't need to do anything with this I feel.
The text is really crummy to put it bluntly. The text "snow pleasure" is too blurry and not at all defined. You need to find a better font for the two texts.
The snow's pretty good as well.
The only other thing I can suggest is that you make it a larger resolution. Is that a scaled down version that you uploaded to imageshack. If it is, we could do with looking at a larger res image.

This is a very nice wallpaper, but as said before nothing spectacular about it. The one comment I have is that when it was loading I first thought it was a star field but then realised it was snow. ut still doesnot really look like snow, and mainly because it is not even, i come from seden and have seen alot of the stuff, and never will you be able to see a break in the snow, it is 99 of the time an even fall. I think I know why you did it because oterwise it is very easy for te wall to get all cluttered up real quickbut yhea...just a thought. Other wise it is a great scan and that can go in a milion different directions. You could very easily get away with making the anime a little bigger so it fills the wall a little more. The only other ting is the text in left of scren is a little bit hard read. but not so bad it has to be changed, maybe just draw a couple of pixels back on the font stroke.

Ok, firstly it needs alot of work, sorry to be so bold but if you want to become better and produce high quality walls then you need to be able to handle and take critism.
Ok, I will start:
The bkg and the render (main image) does not go well. The shadow behind it is awful. Your better off darkening the bkg and chaning the color of the render's clothes. Blue and red does not go well.

No problem for the critics, I posted it here for that and be able to improve myself thanks to your suggestions.
ok so i have to:
-Stroke a little more text on the left and make it less blurry
-Extract better the scan
-Make better shadows
-A little more snow with no breaks
For the colours maybe put the background on sunset?
ps: what do you mean with crummy? :O

I dont think peepboon should have put it so bluntly, its definelty not 'crummy' its actually got a better flow than some others that were posted. The angle of this wall and the mood is very well prtrayed, nce and mellow, yet deep, BUT as some have not said, the scan characters dont even touch what your trying to portray as snow ground, it looks like the girl is hanging down, or just glued onto this nice background. How bout making sure the scan has a sure footing on the wall, and make sre the from mtns arent just like 'water wavs' make them have a little accent and sharp edges etc. dont go grunge, or maybe add a little to the rocks to give it a rutty realistic feel. :)
Much better, although the grey shape you covered with grass still shows through in a few patches. The shadow the characters cast on the ground should be more diffuse and have a broken outline since it's not longer cast on a smooth surface.
The riverside giving rise to the mountains looks odd. You'd think that the mountains are in the distance but they rise straight out of the water, so you need to make the junction more indistinct to help create the transition from mid-ground to more distant. Colourwise the whole thing looks OK so far, but your clouds are too obviously rendered using the default filter. Use the smudge and blur tools and some low opacity soft brushwork to round them out and make them look softer and more natural. Let them sort of rise out of that mist layer over the tops of the mountains, which could do with some thickening.
One of the most jarring things about this wall is that 'Snow Pleasure' thing in the translucent rectangle. It just looks out of place. The Fate Stay Night typography also seems to stand out a little much. Get rid of the drop shadow effect... in fact if you do keep it, which I don't feel necessary, then maybe a subtle blue glow consistent with the shades of the grass would help it stand out if you need it to.

What do you mean by this? "Colourwise the whole thing looks OK"
Um... I think the fog/clouds around the bottom of the mountains should be more distinct. That would look really great.

Firstly, sorry if I was a bit harsh and bold >_< im a nice guy really T___T
The newer version is a great improvement!
-The shadow actually fits well.
-The reflected mountains look good
------
Only thing I can think of to make it better is to see what it would looke like if they had blue clothes on instead of read.

-modified the clouds smudging them (need to be more bigger or smaller or they are good? :O) and i was thinking to make the sky a little more white what about it?
-modified the text
-shadow near the chars more sharp
and any suggestion about the shadow near the red cape on the right?
now I don't have any good idea for the connection between mountain and lake i have to think a little ehehe.
and next i'll try to make the mountains on the top a little more sharp

Acck. its very much improving, your going at a very nice pace of making this wall better and better, good job. :) The clouds i will have to say are a nice addition to the wall, but make sure they dont look like little puffs of cooton but something realsitc, like bleed in the white edges of the clouds to the blue snow sky, and yes, the grass is very well done to make your wall have more essence. Keep on going, and your almost there. :)
Here it is the blue clothes version :O Blue version
