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!

I think if your just curious to try then your bicurious, but if you frequently do it you are bisexual? I'm not positive. I'm not sure if she is or not, she's never said she isn't.

I worked on this one for a while, and I'm at last pretty happy with the text and scan. Even though the image is a really pretty one, I made this with the last episodes in mind, so it came out kind of sad. I think.

Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated.

The scan does need a little bit more cleaning... overall it's extremely nice, though.

But... are the characters supposed to be different colors? o_O

Thanks everyone for the constructive crit! I really appreciate it! It's intentional that the one character is desaturated. I wanted to make him seem separate from the vibrant colors. Does it look bad?

@ doki: Do you know any ways to clean scans? I'm sorta new to it, so I'm pretty clueless.

This will work only on PhotoShop:

1. Duplicate the layer
2. With the top layer selected go to Filters->Noise->Medium Noise->5 px
3. Change the blending mode of the top layer to Overlay or Soft Light (I mostly use Soft Light)
4. On the original layer use Blur or Soft Blur

Thank you, angel-voice! *hugs*

I fixed the scans. Are they clean enough now?

Sure is a nice wallpaper, however 2 things

you abused a bit on the smart blur, because some lines are vanishing on the interior of the scan, worst thing that abuse of smart blur does, is "eat" the softness of the lines
so reclean the scan to get better results

another thing is the feathers, give them some rotation, to look less random

Its really good, but I think the scan needs a bit of cleaning up especially in the area that has the buttons. Keep up the good work! (n_n)~ emoticon

@ Danalm: Thanks for the suggestions! What do you mean by the lines are vanishing? Sorry... I'm really new to this. ><

@ alienMkys-Comin: The buttons! I forgot. >< Thanks for pointing that out. I'll do my best. ^^

Does anyone have any suggestions/tips/tutorials/helps on cleaning scans, and how to notice what needs cleaned?
