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!

This is a wall I've been working on for about a week, and I don't want to turn it in without input. It's made from a few images I found on Google and stuff like that, and then it was put together through Photoshop.

So to put it into simple terms, is it AP worthy?

I've never really liked the idea of collaging the same character in a wallpaper but that's just me. Also, you really need to work on the extraction...there is alot of jagged white stuff everywhere.
Keep on working at it, you can do it. I would advise just choosing one scan, work hard to extract it nicely, and go from there.
Good luck!

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Because when I loaded it, it looked a lot different. (no white lines) Does anyone know a good hosting image site?

No, I'm not talking about the white lines I'm talking about the extraction of the characters. Its really jagged, and there are white jagged shards around the characters. You need to take your time and carefully extract each character. There is a good tutorial for this at Imanimetions.
Just start with the extraction for now because the background is pretty nice looking :D

Your scans are also pretty "dirty" there's a lot of pixellated shading in there, you might be able to fix that with the blur tool, just don't over-do it.
your char. on the left is very red, I would desaturate her just a little bit,
you background charachter looks the cleanest of all, you might toy with the idea of making her the foreground charachter and putting the other 2 in the background.
and surely work on the extraction.
also, your bg charachter is completely missing her thumb. if it's not in the original picture you were working with, you will have to put something there to hide that.

The only problem with me putting the background character in front is, compared to when I put her in front the color is really off with the rest of the picture. Once I placed her in the back, however she was really more in-sync with the rest of the picture.

I've never liked the collage idea either >_< because it just looks redundant and as if you've run out of ideas as to what to fill up the space with =/

well, as aforementioned by others, the image qualities are quite low. they are dirty and artifacted and cleaning will do them much good.

as to the color problem, not that i'm saying you should have her in front, but if you are using ps, you can always use adjustment layers to cure that problem with color complementation.

You should try to clean your scan first... Cause even if you get a good extraction quality... You will still have spots and dust on your pictures...

You should also think of a darker sign... Where you put it, we can't really read it easily.

You can try to remove one of your character and try a writing... It's an other way to fill up space without looking too charged... And it's easier to manage with...

The background is nice. But the withe part looks awful with those scans right now.. But lest way for your next try...

Isn't the signiture supposed to be a little hidden though? Because if it's too hidden won't AP reject it?

No, Zazou is saying that you should make your sig LESS hidden...

Both scans on the right and left need to be cleaned up...the one on the left needs to be extracted better, definitely. Same for the big one in the background. I think three stocks may be too much too...and if you DO use three, should have them all be similar brithnesses...like the one on the right is really gray...>.<

The background's really nice though. If you cleaned up those scans, it should look pretty nice.

Brightness?
Well... How can I explain that.. It's the way the character are lighted... It's the colours type and the way some are litter than others... I'm sorry if I'm not really good for explanations but I'm french speaking...

aznxenocide is telling you to try to have similar colours on all the characters on this wall to make it even...

Is that clearer in your mind?
