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!

A quick description of this wallpaper I designed is that it's colorful. I don't know... It looks really squashy at the moment but I'm not quite sure how to fix this.

Another note, should I leave the huge Sora character on the side slightly transparent or have it with 100% opacity? Also, I'm not quite sure if I should leave the corners blackened. What do you guys think?

Many thanks in advance for any advice^^

Here's the wallpaper:

Hmmm. Which Image? The huge character or the mini ones in the background. I think you're talking about the back ones. Actually I used a few brushes on top to give it that grainy texture... I'll try clearing the image up a bit... I think. Or maybe get a clearer scan. Thanks for the advice^^ Your awesome.

There is a lot of things happening but the quality is good! remove the bg characters and the "+" signs. and i think you should put the banner "kingdom hearts" at the top-right corner and of course remove the "DIsney - square enix"

hope that helps :]

Thanks makotoken^^ Wow! So the quality is good? I'm not sure now... One person says so and one doesn't... Hmm. I'll be removing the Disney and Square Enix and the + signs. Cool. I think it might look better now! Brilliant. Except I'm not quite sure about the background characters because if I remove them it'll basically be blank. Hmm. I'll see what I can do. Sure helps! Can't thank you enough. hehe.

I really think you should keep the background characters. They look really good there. Almost like sora's reflecting upon kingdom hearts one. Yes its a excellent effect. But i do agree with the others that you should remove the plus signs. They don't look good there, and what purpose have they got there? Yup nothing much else to say but once done i'm sure it'll be ready for submission. Good Luck!

W00t! Thanks heaps you guys! Absolutely removing the + signs. Though... if it's gone should I replace the space with something else? Or leave it blank. I guess I'll see how it goes. Yeah, probably it's best because it's much too overcrowded at the moment.

EDIT:
- background characters moved up + remove the texture
- redone the colors in the background
- fix on the D in Disney which still had white (I didn't remove it because I liked it there)
- remove corners and "+"s

OR

- some brushes used around logo

Hmm... Should I do anything extra to it? It seems too simple of a design. Which is better too?

You should also give to the big Sora a bit more opacity... Or at least try to make him completely opac then see how it turns out... Cause I don't like to see the feet of the back characters through his knee... It's looking pretty weird...

About the texturing on the first one I didn't like the grainy looking stuff but the textures you used on the corners was pretty nice looking and now you remove it I think it looks a bit too simple colors if you see what I mean.

I'm not sure about the brushed logo... Not sure the way you did helps to make it obvious... Maybe use darker brushes? I don't know... But for me now it's not really useful this way.

I would love to see a bit more contrast in the frontground Sora... Cause right now your wall seems so... Quiet and calm... Don't really feel right.. TOO quiet...

I like the text... It's really looking good! :)

Don't forget to let some space for the icons! :)

Note : I'm not sure about the quality of the big Sora... It's still looks pretty low quality in my mind but I'll wait to see the opac version before telling you... :)

Nice wall by the way! :)

I made some additional changes to the wallpaper according to the ideas given. Great ideas zazou8888^^ I think I've done most of the suggestions you told me to but I'm not quite sure what do you mean by adding contrast to the Sora... I'm not quite sure how. The rest I'm fine.

EDIT:
- dirtied the background
- placed the corners back on
- flipped the whole wallpaper so there's more icon space

I don't know... something still doesn't seem right.

Lol, by flipping it, the text on the rock in the background image is backwards now. But it's easy cleanup. Just FYI. ^.^

The logo might be too much...Try it without, and see how it looks. You want space for icons too. Negative space, IF USED WELL, can make a wall look cooler. But I mean, if it looks too empty, by all means, keep the logo. =P

If you want to fill up that space between Sora and the background image...Keyblades? Behind big Sora, but in front of the curl texture thing in the background. I think that'll fill it up sufficiently. hmm and why the embossed name on the right? Barely noticed it at first...and it doesn't really add much. You can keep the name if you somehow integrate it with the logo...or just use the name to replace the logo altogehter.

heh i don't really do session zero anymore. But for you, ANYTHING.

^.^

good luck! i'll check this thread later. =P

Hey you got all I said really right! :p By contrast I meant to add some intensity to the colors... And I think it's really looking great.
I love the contrast between the foreground and the background. But be careful not to put it on a too high scale...

Sora really looks fine now but it looks like you have some artifacts from the saving... Careful to use the save for web tool or clean a bit some parts... It's too late to point you the spots I see wrong (YEAH my paint pointer! :D) but I will tomorrow or this week end if you want me to.

For me the logo really looks bad here... But if you make it smaller then put it in the empty space I guess it will be fine... But I'm not sure you need it... And you forgot to remove the Disney and Square Enix ;)

The Sora writing is no more readable now... Or at least, like azn said it's not really adding something anymore...
You can remove it or use it on a higher style... But I'm not sure it's the best way to go...

Well... I think that's all I can come up with...
But I have a last question : can you put Sora a bit downer? Cause Right now his leg is a bit too obvious and it's not the beautifulest part of his body! :D ^^

Good luck and if you get the time, check out my vectored character... I need to get some idea about a background -___-

Once again I've edited the wallpaper. This time with these edits:
- shadow of the big Sora
- added a crown (actually I made this myself - this might be the reason why it looks strange)
- fixed the rock
- fixed the "Sora" heading
- lightened the dirt
- lightened the opacity on the background characters

OR
- a slightly darkened version

How's it look? Almost ready for submission? Fingers crossed >.<
Thanks for all your support and assistance! Almost done. w00t! =]
To zazou8888 - I'll have a look at your vector^^

Yup its a major improvement of your last version. I'm sure its ready. There's nothing i can criticize on this one. Thumbs up! i reckon its ready for submission but just to be on the safe side, get other ap member's confirmation.
