What Exactly Is Pink? by °dalarty 3 weeks 3 days ago

^nat
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!

I made this one becouse I love the game and the movie. Didn't have any special goals during the process, just wanted to contain the fresh white colour, and made everything but the logo black/white so it would stand out, think it gives a special feeling of some sort, like the images are flashes of memories and the logo represents what it actually is. Something like that.
It's real size is actually 1200 x 1000, but since that doesn't work here I had to resize it to 1152 x 864 which made it a little broader then the original.
So what do you guys think? Feel free to comment. http://img117.imageshack.us/my.php?image=memorieskopiera3hp5.jpg
Thanks.

The symmetry you've created here is good, although. the Advent children staple at the lower left really distracts from this not only because of it's shape but also of it's color. All the images you have placed here seem as though they've been resized then cut/paste. Seems like good enough material here for some extractions to be done and placed instead.

The font type I like quite a bit, seems to fit well. The edges of the text have lost deffinition and needs to be touched up.

Moreover, perhaps it's just me but, this almost feels like a whiteout brightness attack to my retenas. I keep wandering back to the Advent Children staple and want to stay as my eyes seem to starve for color while contemplating this work for reasons afformentioned.

As for the central insignia, I like it quite a bit. However, it either doesn't fit here, shouldn't be as opaque or needs to be moved elsewhere. I can't quite put my finger on it.

Try to lower the brightness and the contrast of your wallpaper. If you were aiming for symmetry, then the two images below ruined the effect somewhat. The text (although the font is lovely) doesn't seem to match your selected images.

But basically in my opinion it's too bright. Do try to fixt the brightness and contrast.

It's just pics pieced together. There's very little editing done; the concept's neat, but the execution's just not getting there.

It needs some color! Its kind of way too white its burns my eyes a little bit. The composition looks good. The text just needs to be fixed up a bit enlarged mabye. Good luck!

Hey guys! I've edited and chnaged the wall quite a bit now, and also put on some more colour as you said, and I agree it looks better with colour, even if the white theme is still present. I've also continued the work on the "memories" theme, hence all the smaller images. And could someone tell me how to soften the edges of the text? And do you think I can submit it soon?

Ok it looks better but still it bit hard on the eyes...maybe try putting a layer of light blue or something on the bg to bring down the intense brightness. And left center/colored pic that is cloud with red eyes right? Maybe its just me but that's a bit confusing having his eyes red...I almost don't know who it is. Other than that great job! keep working on it =).

OK i'll try something with the bg. haha nope that is not cloud, it's Rufus (duh!), you know when he "dies" in the explosion and looks into the fire with his cool eyes like: "oh yeah? come and get me". That's why I made his eyes especially fiery =)

Ok well I own the movie...and must have watched it a thousand times (heh! eye candy) but I didn't recognize him sooo... Maybe put a bit a clarification in there like maybe their names written on it or something. good luck.

I've added a very slight light-blue colour to the background. Another thing I would like to do is to add something that looks like the lifestream, a nice greenish, glowing curvy line. How do I do that?

It looks like you've made a lot of progress with this, but the thing I want to comment on is the text. I'm not exactly sure due to the font you used, but it looks like you wrote "It is becouse we love memories..." and should be "because". If that is an "a" on there, then I guess just ignore me haha (but it looks very similar to the other o's in the text).

Anyway, good luck with your wall!

And just make it not as bright. ^.^

The concept's nice, but if there were someway you could make the emblem smaller, and so that it doesn't overlap his goggles, I think it'd make it alot better...cuz right now, it makes his eyes look really wierd, with that think overlapping it...nice job though! don't forget your sig. =P

I love it. The eyes need to be toned down a bit, but it's great.
I liked the version without color, but the last posted version is definitely much more interesting.
Can't wait to see it finished.
