Fly... by °Phill 4 weeks 2 days ago

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.

I finally found time away from school to get working on my wallpaper that I started ages ago. I took in all your considerations and I want to hear your opinions on it.

Did you try to make an image of a wall with Ichigo, Rukia,Byakuya and Renji's picture on it? Well it's a nice idea but i think you need to make it like a 'sketch'(??). And how about adding some text?? Oh, and you forgot your sig too!
It's a nice concept up to this point but you still have to fix some things.

I like the concept...but I think it needs to look more graffiti like and right now it doesn't. Also it looks alittle empty at the top perhaps putting the title up there or some text or something but graffiti style. I do like the texture on the brick though. You need to work on alittle more, then I think you will have it.

Good luck!:)

I guess that depends...if you can do it free hand then try it out and see if you like it. :)

But if not a good place to look is deviantART.

don't know whether it was mentioned before,... but there should be an alert button for every user, so that spammers among us can be punished quickly by the mods.

Comments which have only (bad) one liners like "I hate those fillers, it is so boring" should be deleted without questioning,... at least 2 to more lines should be required for a post. If some body hates or like something, one should give at least one reason...

About sections: I would add maybe a "movie"-section in which you can discuss about movies, Stars and anyhting related to it. Because among Anime fans there are still a lot of people who like real movies and have favorite real actors.
If it's possible divide them into "Hollywood" and "International" Movie section...


that would be about it with my suggestion...

*Ignore !zimuteng03...... hes a spammer >.<*

My thoughts on this wall, hmmmmm....

I really like the image you have used on the wall(especially using BLEACH characters), but it is a bit of a letdown that it is a bit distorted behind the brickwork.
Really, i have to agree with previous comments. If it was more graffiti like, it would blend into the brick wall more, and look really cool. And using a bit of text in the wall would also give more of a theme.
It looks a bit dull taking an image and putting it on a brickwall with no real effects used, but if you maybe clean it up a bit, i reckon it will give good results so keep at it!

;-D

Decided to go in a completely different direction with this one. I changed from Bleach To KH2 simple because the scans had better quality and were much larger. So here is the new one with the KH2 characters. Not really sure if I should add anything since they take up a majority of the space on the wall.

I think they look great, could use a little text to complete it of course

and yea, try a grafiti font with that same texture and you should be good to go

edit: where did the scans come from? the color is great.. very vibrant

They came from Kingdom Hearts Ultimania. The reason they look so vibrant is because I spent numerous hours refining them from their original quality. Sure the scan was high resolution but they quality was pretty bad. If you want them just check out their gallery.

Okay I am going to try to freehand some graffiti text for this wallpaper, if that doesn't turn out I guess I'll go with some custom made text from a site.

I really like the idea, but I gotta say, I like the second one more than the first. I think you can do alot more with it though. First of all, try bringing out some of the colors, making it look spraypainted. Also, it would be cool to have an awesome graffiti logo/title on there. You can also work on the brick texture a bit, but that's the lesser of it's needs. Good luck.

I submitted the wallpaper but it was rejected. What should I improve on to get into the gallery on AP. The rejection message said that it didn't meet the quality stated in the guide. Any suggestions?
