Maybe you could make the moon more realistic and take up more of the top left corner...but thats just my opinion.

GOOD LUCK~~

Wallpaper updated

Nice Wall,
The color of the moon and the reflection in the water don't really match. And the horizon, is diagnoal?
Just something I noticed.

Yeah, I tried to match the moon and water better, but I had problems with the light effects, I don´t know how to do it.
As for the horizon, are you talking about the water being diagonal in the upper boarder or about the water and grass alignment?

This needs... ALOT of work

Scan extraction needs work (We shouldn't see the white outline of it)

The water in the background is VERY blurry, does not go with any of the scans nor is it repairable (I say replace it)

The stack around the text is WAY too uniform, try mixing it up with different sizes and amounts on certain areas

The black shadows on the moon need work

The white glow around the text needs to be more unique and warp around more

The grass should fade into black cause it just stops immediately

The text also could be changed, not really feelin it with the rest of the wall



So yeah, it needs some work. however, with trial and error you should learn and become a better waller because of it.

I'll use some of your opinions.
I made the water blurry on purpose to make it look more distante, but maybe I'll replace it with the original
The white outline in the cloths is needed or you wouldnt be able to distinguish the character from the black background.

The white outline in the cloths is needed or you wouldn't be able to distinguish the character from the black background.

Not in, around it, like around the feet and the side of him... get rid of that, you'll still be able to see him, however he will blend more in the background as opposed to stand out like a sore thumb, which doesn't look too good.

Yea the upper border, horizon should be horizontal, right ;)
You might want to ditch the water, and just try it with a dark mirror effect. Something like this.

The water looks a bit odd to me - it's too real looking and it seems a bit on the purple side and everything else is black and white. I think the dark mirror effect would look good like Wally4u said.

Much work to do yet indeed. i see what you mean about ichigo fading into the bg, but at least you can afford to make the white outline outside of his black outline look neat right? currently, it looks like bad extraction. smooth it out and make it look more like it is on purpose. and walling with manga pics...is a hard thing to get right. just because if you don't treat the image, the style itself looks rather rough. and when you combine that with other things, such as the smooth default gras brush or the crisp text, something just doesn't look completely right.

and speaking of grass, you need to work on your brushing skills. i recommend you to redo it. navigate to nat's nighttime grass brushing tutorial on her website by clicking on the ningen homepage link provided on the right side of this webpage. it'll give you an idea of what would look like good grass. your grass is currently too sparse.

not a fan of the noise around the text. and the shadows on the moon...why do they look stripe-like? =/ and a little thing...the reflection in the water is brighter than your moon! careful there. the source of the light should always be brighter than the reflection...(well, technically, the moon is a reflector of light too, but you get what i mean right?)

and a last thing: everything is bleached of color...no pun intended. but the water has a reddish tone. if you are going to have a desaturated wall, make sure absolutely everything is desaturated!

hope this doesn't come across as a harsh post. and good luck with your work. :D

Thkx everyone for the comments.
I'll try making it better and post again

anyone knows where I can get some help for the dark mirror effect?
