Have a look, if you would.

Recently, I've been getting quite into Macross 7. Maybe it's the fact that so many people call it a travesty, or perhaps I just enjoy the idea of rock stars in space. I'm not quite sure which. At any rate, sortly after watching it, I came across a scan of our most beloved rock group floating through space in wedding decor.

"Such a novel idea!" I though. At the time, I was listening to Alanis Morisette's "Ironic"...

It's like rain on your wedding day,
A black fly in your chardonnay...

And thus the wallpaper was born. I'm not sure it's gallery-worthy yet, so go on! Rip it to shreads and leave me to piece it back together! I would mean so much to me...
The title, by the way is "Rain on your Wedding Day."

I like it. Maybe you could add some interesting text, or something. I get a classical feeling from it, so maybe you could make the text, (if you end up putting any in), curly and sharp. But I don't know, that's just me. It's a great foundation you have going on, though. ^_^

LA LI HO!

Hmmm I like it, but as Foxrain said, you could add some text.
Why don't you put a part of the lyric of Ironic that inspires you to made the wall? ^^

Concept's good, but the texturing is too heavy. that's a strange thing for me to say because i'm a texture fan...but yeah, it's somewhat too heavy here, especially for the skin. you could work with blending different textures together, so maybe a smoother texture could go over parts of her skin and dress. if nothing else fits, then you can always erase (using a blurry brush head) or mask (and gaussian blur filter the mask) certain parts to lighten it up just a tad, all with a gradual transition. the texture behind her in the upper right hand corner is also too three-d looking.

aside from that, the dark spots to the left and lower part of the wall would indeed be an excellent spot for some text. try out some fonts...handwritten/script style maybe. just experiment a bit with that. :D

Updated version, lalala.

I toned down the texturing on her and the dress, and I added some font. I'm not terribly happen with the font, though-- any suggestions on a better font, or a better technique?

I REALLY like this wallpaper, the only thing is I think the black is too...empty. (whether it was white or any other color). maybe some text? lyrics? poem? maybe a brush? flowers and/or flower petals would look very nice.

I'm...about okay with the texturing in the new version, i think, although i do believe people who are not totally into textures will find it too heavy still. *shrugs* what goes on from this point with the texture will depend on your judgment because i don't know how right i will be in telling you to tone it down just a tad more.

anyway, i think you should keep the text horizontal. as well, try for a less curled font, something handwritten but also a bit script-like. it could also do without fancy flourishes and swirls. i don't like the current font very much so experiment a bit more. i think you could also keep the text clean but lightly textured, as opposed to the blurred look you've got currently. i know i can be quite picky about font, color, position within the wall, position of text relative to each other, and all that stuff...but i think text can be quite important to a wall. ;P

so update and i'll see how you have improved this. =]

Also the colour white for the font stands out a tad too much try a yellow or green like the ones on your wall.

Version 3.0

The text is vertical, yellow, less flourishy, ect.
I tried to texture it, but it didn't work out as well as I'd hoped.

I suggested the texture thing to help the text fit in, in case the font you chose has some thick letters/letters with broad space. i know script fonts hardly have thick parts to them, but i did say handwritten...and that covers some fonts that look like hand writing but not necessarily done by something as fine as...a fountain pen for example. (okay, confused by my rambling about nothing? yeah...i kind of am myself xD) but what you have is quite thin, so texturing would hardly show and is of no use. and without it being obviously untextured, the whole fitting in problem is nonexistent. phew...all that about why something does not need to be done. >_<

so yeah, the text is fine as is. although i would definitely move the whole text part down a bit if i were you. i feel it is slightly on the high side currently, though unsure of your opinion.

another thing...it'd be cool if you could try adding rain. :D that idea was completely random, partly brought on by my new avatar and partly by rereading the text. oh but it would tie in the lyrics even more, because it would be portraying the first line of text ...and it would add to the rather dismay atmosphere created by all this dark texturing. *shrugs* your thoughts on this?
