What Exactly Is Pink? by °dalarty 3 weeks 14 hours ago

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!

If this isn't a search box, then where's the frakking search box? Put it at the top of the main page, for crying out loud.

I really like where this is going. so far, it looks REALLY good.

one suggestion that i have is that you should maybe put some text in the left hand side of the wallpaper. it looks a little plain the way that it is. the character image and borders look good where they're at and the colors work really well together. it just seems a little empty there on the left side.

another thing - the dark border of the character image seems to be out of place there in the middle of the wall. matbe work on extracting that a little better and making the background all one shade.

so, good job. especially for putting up with win98 (i feel bad for you) *pats on back*

I think you'e done a good job. altough maybe you could reduce the size of your image the empty space at the other side is okay, nice place for icons. Again nice job.

I like it, maybe you should put some text on the empty space, as techman said, and try to make the shadow that you made a little bit softer, maybe you can guassian blur it, or make the brush bigger. Oh, and one more thing, make the shape that you did more opaque.

Yeah, handling that empty space is definitely a good idea. Text would work, but maybe extending some of those gray shapes would be a good idea too.

You're coming really close to a tangent on the right side (where the cloak hits the edge of the screen) and that's generally considered a big no-no compositionally. Moving him a little farther to the left to give a bit more distance from the edge might make it feel more comfortable.

He's got a point about that little dark glow around the figure, feels kinda odd, makes the image feel more like a cutout than a person, and the drop shadow looks really funky.You'll want to make sure that you keep the direction it's projected the same everywhere, and that it extends back under the image. Right now with the single thickness line it looks more like its extruded and we're seeing the edge of the raised block.

Last thing, the text that says "renew" in the bottom right... it doesn't feel like it fits the image at all. I'd say either make it a gothic style text to match the "A" in your imagery, or a script to match your linework, or even just an unobtrusive sans serif font that wouldn't stand out quite so much as the Times Roman you're using now.

Really nice image though, very pretty layout, and it'll be great for fitting icons around. (except I'd have to mirror the sucker. Macs are a pain sometimes, what with their putting their icons on the other side)

Nice job, but to be honest, I hate the shadow tha tyou seem to have painted behind him. Also, if does seem like the right image sort of stops, with the colors in the back. If you want 2 diferent colors, try making it a gradient in the background. Or make the background uniform. Also, for the left, maybe just put some text in it. Hope that helps. ^^

Didn't you just put the scan on a gradient...?

Wooo ahhhhhhh, the contrast between light and dark. alright! XD

- the extraction is very well done
- remove the white borders behind the scan.
- too plain, add something. (suggestions: text, abstract - not the crystal abstract -.-")
- there's two different colors on the background..
- you're missing a signature

keep up the good work! ^^

Yeah weird shadow behind him.. I suggest you throw him in the middle of the wall, and have a really nifty and equally complicated bg as the borders of this card-like thing you have going.. maybe extend those designs and get rid of the white border.. Theres also the word "Renew" on the bottom there and it looks out of place.. maybe get rid of that too.. @@

i think that's supposed to be the sig on the wall. maybe it should be down at the bottom instead of the middle of the image. still, i think this is a good attempt at a wall, especially for a first try.

It's alright. The extraction seems pretty good, but with the border of the artwork and the white vertical lines it looks very restricted. Lose the white lines and try extending the ethereal ribbon pattern over the rest of the wall to fill the space.

You should do more with it...all you did was put the pink glow behind him, and a shadow.
