Trick or Treat by °chanelqueen17 1 month 2 weeks ago

^nat
After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

I think according the extreme resolutions we working is that not important. Rather should we discuss if we allow that heavy paintning of vector masks.

PS stuff can only be considered a vector when it is tremendous in size imo ;)

PS is a vector tool considering that you produce a vector, but photoshop rasterizes it into px so rescaling isn't possible =( so basically it's a vexel tool

Imo you should start a topic about this and see what others think. I partially agree with you mouton, but imo PS is also a vector tool (although not a real one)

I think a vector is something fully scalable from the source file (ie: svg, ai and so on) without lose on quality. Painting using vector mask is nice and all but not really vector from my point of view. But I am perhaps a little extremist on this subject.

Wallpaper

i was wondering whether the wallpaper in general was too bland or not. or if i should just get rid of the eye in the middle or not. or possibly maybe just a different font...

those were the only things i could think of about this wallpaper so if you see something else please mention it to me. thank you

The text on the bottom left, it looks like it's in a white box and it catches my eye.
maybe you can just use text, if you are then that white box thingy is really eye catching, try to blend it in more.

Other then that the wallpaper looks nice

Alright i tried submitting it but it didn't make it. what else do you guys think i should do to improve my wall? should i add the clouds all over the backround rather than just in the corner? or is there any images i need to touch up and such. or do i need to just add something to the top right corner? should i try out a different font. don't feel afraid to critisize my wallpaper! i perfectly fine with it!

Your sig should be towards the bottom so it can be hidden by the taskbar...
the scan quality looks poor, the edges look fuzzy and blurry... seems like it's to hide poor extraction

i suggest finding better scans to work with~ some high quality scans and clean them well ^^
good luck

Nice job on your wall so far.

you know those blank white spaces? You should do some brushing there with a light blue-ish cerulean colour. Something soft like butterflys and...stuff XD.

Umm I think you can do a BIT more cleaning on the images...they still look a little...un-clean.

I'm not too sure about what you did with that eye in the middle o_o I think you didn't position it too well...it looks a bit more to the right than in the center.

Good luck with the rest of your wall ^^

Ok, forgive me for that i didn't read what others said, so excuse me if there are repeats :D

1. the whole wall needs a quality upgradetion
2. everything in the wall llooks too...faded.
3. the eye and scans need to be blended in better. look at this wall
4. the bg is too bright and...nothing really but white.
5. the pic on top left corner especilaly neeeds to be better quality. you can't just have it fade like that. blend it in,...see example
6. the color/what-ever-it-is behind the eye is pretty messy
7. need a better direction/theme for this wall, make the colors more distinct, so we can tell what it is.

8. it's not a bad start! i hope you don't find my comments harsh...time is limited, and thus the paraphrasing...

Good luck.~

Hmm, well I haven't read what anyone else has said, but I personally think that using just TWO images would do for this wallpaper? How about using the one of Yuna falling and her eye =) Use the one of Yuna dropping as the main wallpaper background, if you wish to 'spice' up the wallpaper a bit use some nice brushes ^^

After you've put Yuna as the centre of attention, change the opacity of the image (80%?) Just so that it blends more into the background ^^ THEN place the image of the eye ontop of the image of Yuna and change the opacity (40%) You want the eye to just add more effect to the wallpaper. Well I think that, that isn't a bad idea, not saying that your wallpaper is rubbish because it's beautiful, just needs bits and bobs done on it ^______^ You don't have to take my idea, just wanted to give my opinion ^^

Thank you all very much! i made two versions of the wallpaper

i admit i did get lazy wiht the second version T-T (I can only stare at the screen for so long XD). but i just did it as a general idea to see which one whould be better. i like the butterfly idea a lot i just suck at making butterflies T-T. so with both of them i cleaned up the images, added clouds all over the backround, and blended the images better.

again, thank you all for your comments ^^

I like the first image or top image. What I would do is...

1] Take out Yuna's picture in the top left.
2] Move "Don't Worry..." to the top left.
3] Move "I can fly" to the bottom right.
4] Take the big picture of Yuna... move it to the center... adjust it so that all of her head is in the wall... have clouds around her.
5] Remove the eye and gazebo looking thing.
6] keep the butterflies.

Instead of having all those images, chose one and work with it. create a background, using...maybe clouds. use stock photos and manipulate them, or paint them yourself, whichever looks best. basically you have too much going on with the images, and not enough with the background. it's not an awful wall, but it's not enough to get approved. i would take the image of her falling, and go with that one. make it look like she's falling through the sky with the clouds in the background. text come last. so before you start putting that in, work on the background. the text should work with it, but it should also look okay without it.
