Fly... by °Phill 4 weeks 2 days ago

^nat
This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Peoples need common sense, people who don't have that were stupid.

That's an urban legend. we all know common sense doesn't exist.

Common sense is about as common as decent men.

A very good idea I would say. But there are somethings that I don`t like in your wallpaper.
There is something wrong withe the rocks on the left (propably extraction problem).
The quality of the "shadow" isn`t too good and this strange transparency of the characters hand dos`t fit at all.
Needs a little more work out and it will be fine. GOOD LUCK !

Maybe you could give vectoring a shot? it takes forever, but you have much more control over the image, so in the end it will look better.

it's a cool manga pic and great idea. everything looks a little pixelated and i'm not really a fan of the brush you used to make some "noise" on the right side of the image. the sky looks pretty good.

again, the ghost image doesn't look good because it's enlarge.
quality of sasuke overalll need a bit upgrading.
there are quite some debris in the wall, not sure what those are.
bg/mountain is pretty jagged.
the branch on the left side, and the things around that are pretty random.
the clouds have this sort of edge that doesn't look too grate.
the font..doesn't really fit.
make sure you have a better planned out wallpaper. and that the quality is top-notch.

C: i hope i wasn't too hard on ya. good luck!

I like the change. he looks better on the left than in the middle, even though it left you with some dead space on the right.

i use illustrator to vector and then export it into photoshop to piece all the vectors together. i actually prefer illustrator to photoshop, it's just that photoshop has more bells and whistles. if you know of a way to get both (legally, of course), that would be ideal.

I'm going to ignore the anger image since I'm sure you don't really want comments on that. Also, please don't get mad at people because they give you suggestions on improvement. That is why people post in Session Zero - for help. If you just want positive comments try submitting it. If its declined then it obviously needs work, which is what Session Zero is for. Take people's suggestions not with anger but appreciation, they are going out of their way to try and get your work to its best. Ok, here's what I think - the image could probably pass submission if you worked with the colors a bit. The yellow is way too overpowering. In photoshop, go to Image - Color Balance and adjust the color levels to something a little less intense. Hope this helps! Good luck with submission!

Frustration's a given doing this stuff, shady. We all get shot down the first couple of times. My first submission was very subpar, but it also gave me a better idea on what works and what doesn't.

I think that this could be a good page, but it looks like the pixelation around Uchiha in the foreground is a little rough. You might want to clean it up to make him look a little smoother. Also I'm a little unclear as to why you have him blurred in the backgorund as well. It would seem to me that you might want to put another character there, but then, I'm not familiar with the series.

This is certainly a salvagable page and I think if you keep polishing it, you'll be in good shape. Keep plugging and good luck!

The fore and background images are way too pixely, the background sasuke has alot of artifacts floating around. I too would suggest vectoring... though it might be a little too difficult for your first vector because of the painted effect of the scan.

I like it. the mountains are much improved... the sharingan takes up the empty space on the right... your shadowing on the bigger sasuke is much better. if you don't want to vector, this is probably a place to stop and try submitting it. good luck man.

...and if it doesn't get accepted, post again and tell us what they didn't like. my first wall was horrible until i posted it on this forum and got ripped apart. it's a good way to learn.

One time I ended up with -300 papers =P It could be worse. I submitted many different wallpapers that were rejected before one was accepted. They more you change around things and they arent right, you learn more about the standards of the site, you can find some tutorials on this forum that you can use to improve your wallpapers. Its going to go uphill from know on, the more you learn about the site and the more your wallpapers improve :) Keep working at it!
