Trick or Treat by °chanelqueen17 1 month 2 weeks ago

^nat
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 don't consider something a vector when you use a brush and/or a tablet

I think according the extreme resolutions we working is that not important. Rather should we discuss if we allow that heavy paintning of vector masks.

PS stuff can only be considered a vector when it is tremendous in size imo ;)

PS is a vector tool considering that you produce a vector, but photoshop rasterizes it into px so rescaling isn't possible =( so basically it's a vexel tool

Imo you should start a topic about this and see what others think. I partially agree with you mouton, but imo PS is also a vector tool (although not a real one)

I think a vector is something fully scalable from the source file (ie: svg, ai and so on) without lose on quality. Painting using vector mask is nice and all but not really vector from my point of view. But I am perhaps a little extremist on this subject.

okay everything you see before you see before you is made from scratch except the texture and grunge. I vectored the image of chidori from a screenshot, then I colored it. made the water tank in 3dsmax, and cheaply did the floors.

anyways, I haven't coloured images like this in a long time, so uhmm...does anyone see anything wrong? and anyone have any other suggestions towards this wall?

I suggest that you use another texture that is not so grainy on the character, or lose the texture on the character altogether. Also maybe you could move the character to the center? Unless there is something hidden in the shadows to balance the character on the left?

I quite like it, but the area on the right is too dark for me - I wouldn't know it was a water tower if you didn't say. I'd brighten the wall generally. It's so dark I can't really tell what the text says :/.

I'd also maybe punt things to the right like dhias said if possible, but I really wouldn't make her central, as it's kinda more interesting with the chara off-centre.

There's also a slight sense that she's floating. I'd consider very much darkening the shadowing and abandoning the reflection element - it makes things seem like glass and is also odd an sort of brightness.

All tweaks basically - overall I really quite like it myself :).

Okay so here is the current version

User posted image

I took trismugistus' advice and made the tank brighter, but actually made the wall darker because I wanted the eyes focus to go straight to chidori, and I also darkened the shadow and removed the reflection (hope it removes the floating problem)

I tried to try another texture, but without the grainyness, every single mistake is revealed, especially in the floor around chidori, and since my colouring was crappily done, chidori

see for yourself

and the grainyness also adds to the mood..

soo, yea

I think it's great, but then I thought that to start with :/. I still can't make out the text properly, though, but that's no great shakes.

I like teh current version.. The shadow definatly is an improvement.. If you look where teh background is light next to chidori you see a dark outline around her. My only suggestion would be to soften that. I think that is what was giving her a floating feeling in your origional post. Good Job. I love that scene, and it makes a nice wall.

okay I tried to lighten it up a little and also tried to make the text more readable, and added a bluish hue to it to make the theme...a little colder..

to mgsisawesome: yea I noticed that too, but didn't think much of it at the time, but since you brought it, I'll look into it

Does the BG look too empty/simple?

I like the simple background. I think that if you add too much more you risk making it too busy.

I think that you could try to either blend the title in a little more so it looks liek it is part of the roof or seperate it mor eso it looks like a title.. it seems to be somewere in the middle.

So otehr than my 2 criticisms i cant find anything else wrong with it. Im jealous of all the tallent here... if only I was as good as you all.

keep up the good work HiiHi! This will be my next desktop image!

Well it is great. But the "Full metal Panic: the second raid" title needs fixing. Try using the same font and colour with the "Abandoned". The rest of the wallpaper shall remain unchanged. It rocks.

The wallpaper looks pretty nice, though what still doesn't convince me is Chidori's vector which really looks too sharp. Her outlines seem somewhat damaged... what program did you use to vector her? =\
