Trick or Treat by °chanelqueen17 1 month 2 weeks ago

After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

Hi, I have a wallpaper that I have done and I have submited it twice now, first time it lacked description so I fixed that and then it got rejected cuz of:
"-Image quality problems.
-Background composition issues."

I cant see whats wrong with the wallpaper so I hope someone can explain for me so I can fix it and don't make the same mistake in the future.

This is the Session Zero Forum ^^

The first rejection was because of lacking description. It is required to put a description. The reason why you wallpaper was rejected the second time is about the quality of your wallpaper.

Mainly it can be summed up like this: blurry.

The scan is blurry and could use cleaning. I'm not sure if you used a blur filter if so you really should remove it.

The background is hard to judge. Looks like the original background of the scan with just some text added. Not sure about that but I can't be sure without a link to the original scan you used.

The text on the background seems out of place for me. The font is not a good choice and the text itself looks also blurry and a bit grainy.

I first posted it in the General Forum, think his post is from back then.

Anyway, here is the original wallpaper if that is what you mean by scan:
http://media.animewallpapers.com/wallpapers/hellsing/hellsing_5_800.jpg?m=1195513127

I cant see the blur you are talking about either, only thing that I can come to think of is that Alucard isn't razor sharp at some edges.
When you say the text in the background you mean the quote on the red part right?

That's exactly what I wanted to know and that's not good for you.

So you took that wallpaper and edited it? This is not allowed, it's ripping and can't be said to be a self-made wallpaper by you.


guide
1. Is the wallpaper all your own work?

Using elements from other wallpapers in yours is not acceptable here at AP. Check out the scans gallery if you need some new material to work with.


Read the guide, the hole one not just the part I quoted to learn about the requirements for wallpapers.

So I cant use the background from that wallpaper at all?
I have worked to resolve some of the problems I found and made the background diffrent:
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t309/Zmile4ever/Hellsing_33.jpg

Here is a image showing the background i use without any effects and stuff on, next to the original wallpaper:

The only thing left from that original wallpaper is the "blood" texture/pattern.(That is visible)

Like the guide says:

Using elements from other wallpapers is not allowed.



I already quoted that part for you. Why don't you understand it?
The link to the background shows me that you only edited the girl out of the background by duplicating some other parts. That's not allowed. You can't use the background of this wallpaper you didn't make to made your own wallpaper. Search for a scan and make your own wallpaper by creating the background, extracting the scan and so on. Don't use any parts of other wallpapers, not even the smallest part.

Okay, new question. Must I use scans from this site?
Or can I look around on renders sites or take scans from a manga site?

No you can use scans/ renders found elsewhere. Just be sure to abide by the terms of use of the location you source them from.

Hmm I found the wallpaper I used before as a scan:
http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Hellsing/item15978/
Could I just redo the background using this scan and it will be fine?

btw, does the same rules apply for the Session Zero gallery? I read that there are no fines but how about the rules?

Use of that scan is fine. THe same rules apply to Session Zero. It is intended to house wallpapers in development. It is not made for final submissions.

Okay, Thanks for all the help, think I understand how this works more or less then.
Now I just got to wait and regain the 200 papers I lost due to my foolishness and eager to upload a wallpaper.

Try to make your own elements :) That would be very nice. Don't take images from wallpaper, they're edited as the author's style. Use scans or from the manga. (Better use scans, it has more resolution)
