What Exactly Is Pink? by °dalarty 3 weeks 2 days ago

Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!

You're trying too hard and if you're going to explode over something so trivial you'd best be watching where you do so.

I've always been interested in making a simple 3D wallpaper, but I've never found one that suits my skill level (which is pretty noobish). But one picture caught my eye and I thought "Heck, it shouldn't be too hard right?"

Boy, I suck at predicting things.

Anyways, this took around 50 hours to create, most of which was not the modeling of the room but rather tweaking the scene to create a perfect atmosphere. Of course in the process I got to learn a couple of really neat things (like how to make the curtains flow ^_^). Anyways, this certain image took 2 hours to render (I had rendered another one beforehand but that one was crummy...oh, and that one also took 2 hours...) and another hour to edit in Photoshop to my liking. (And then another hour trying to figure out why my Imageready wasn't working >_<). So, I hope you guys like it, and if not a few constructive comments wouldn't hurt either.

Clicky!

Hmm...well, that blurriness comes from something in maya called depth of view (or somewhere along those lines), where everything besides the objects being focused on are blurry. In photography the same effect is created whenever something close is focused on; everything behind it gets blurred out. Of course, I can always re-render it without that effect (another 2 hours...*sigh*) but I still feel that it creates a better feeling of realism with this.

Futakoi Alternative...as it says on the bottom right hand corner of the wallpaper. Why do you ask? Is there another category that I might be able to put it in?

Of course, for those people who haven't watched the show I highly doubt they know how those cups have anything to do with the anime.

It's sorta like feathers and AIR, they just seem to go together.

-Update

Unblurred the background and changed up the clouds a little bit. Yeah, that's about it.

I actually liked the depth of field effect even if the focal length was a tad aggressive.

I hate to rain on your parade EndlessBlue but if the image remains essentially your 3D work it won't be submittable. That's not to say that you haven't put sufficient effort into the image but in its present state its fan art and is not submittable as per the submission guidelines.

Perhaps you could integrate the character from the original scan into the image to address this.

So what's the difference between fan art and original art?

Does fan art have to have some item directly from the official series? Or is it merely the concept that makes it fan art? And what if you have fan art based on another piece of fan art? Would that make it fan art too or something completely different?

And must all wallpapers here be fan art, or can there be originality in the limited space that is defined as "fan art"?

BTW, comments are still welcomed...legal or not I still want this wallpaper to look pleasing ^_^

Wow...that last comment made me quite confused <brain cramp> But...honestly...I really don't see why EndlessBlue can't submit it...I see the 3D rendering kind of vectoring...he just copied the picture in order to make it clearer/better in general...Just as long as he doesn't submit it as a scan it seems fine to me...

But to Endless Blue: the difference between fan art and original art is that original art is an image that you created on your own from your own mind...while fan art is recreating the idea of another artist (roughly anyway) For example...say you just decided to draw a girl...any girl that you just designed on your own recently...and then you liked it so much that you decided to wall it...that would be considered original art...

@iloveipodskiwiperson2: Don't go and revive old threads like this one...I'm sure that you are eager to comment and get papers...but it won't help much...This wallpaper was actually already submitted and accepted...But just for some advice on posting in threads...don't go back any further than the second page...because anything after that are usually WAY too old to bother with...

But I do understand that you are a new member and eager to participate...there's nothing wrong with that! ^_^
