I'm working on another Nana wallpaper and am trying to settle on a color scheme.
4 versions of the wallpaper
Details on each version:
#2: I actually started with this version in the design. The idea was to have a dark, subtle wallpaper without a lot of contrast.
#1: I wondered if #2 was TOO subtle, so I made a bright and bold and totally opposite version of it.
#3: Monotonal scheme, where the darks are the same color as the background and all you can see is the highlights (ie the face and arms/hands)
#4: A variant of #3, where I inverted the colors on the guy (I could just have easily inverted the colors on the girl). This was just to do something different and see how it affects the image. The advantage of this over #3 is that you can see the separation between the guy and the gal, whereas #3 is all one sorta blob.

Also, text? No text? If yes, what style (script, serif, san serif, bold, elegant, delicate...) I'm leaning towards either no text, or a bold san serif text that's large and in your face. Must decide how to keep it from overpowering the people.

Finally, is the positioning good? It's rotated about -60° from the original straight upright pose, mostly to fill the horizontal canvas and to have it a little off-skelter, which I always find more interesting than right angles.

P.S. Can someone name these characters for me? I haven't read the series yet... ^^;

(now in the gallery)

My vote would be for one or three. No text, this is stunning without it.

I'd vote for either 1 or 4. No text, please. :)

I am going to have to go with number one or three (I feel like I am on a game show xD) I also vote for bold sans serif font because I have yet to see someone pull it off 0_o

I go for 1 and 4
well almost all of my walls have text so im gonna go "with text" something large and would kinda look like your wall...u know the inverted colors and such

I vote for #1 =/
No text, I think that'll just ruin the simplicity of the wall.

I'll vote for #1 too, maybe with Nana's skin tone a little less bluish though. Elegant scriptlike text would look nice. Positioning is fine.

1 and 4, look pretty @~1@

Definitely #1, but make the background a bit darker perhaps. I would add a bit of text, light, like the color of the inside of the 1 over her dress ruffles.

Vote 1 No text P.S
