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!

Well, I've been into graphic design for years not but I gotta say, you guys over here push the bar. This is not my first wallpaper. But if your eye is perceptive enough, you can tell I've hit a very big creative drought, one that has been with me for over three years now.

I originally wanted to simulate a somewhat rusted industrial sheet metal feel to the backdrop. But as the wallpaper progressed the paint spatters started to look kinda nice.

Needless to say, I am very much looking forward to your comments for this wallpaper, be it negative or positive. Thank you in advance to those who would leave their input.

Here's the revised wallpaper:

Version 2

I went back to the rusted sheet metal theme. And unfortunately, this too was rejected.

Comments please. Thanks. Ü

Upload it at ImageShack or Photobucket I think you should make Dante bigger.

This is Dante from Devil May cry 2, am I right? I don´t know but I prefer the design of the first Devil May cry or the modern design from Devil May cry 3.
The lyrics I know they are from Devils never cry, the awesome song played in the credits of Devil May cry 3..but I have my questions about the characters of the middle of the wallpaper, is Dante again? or his brother Virgil? Is a little blurry and I don´t see him well.
The colours you selected for the wallpaper are great, black and red suits perfectly with DMC atmosphere and give the wall a dark aspect and markes the main character Dante.
I think it´s good, but the central part..could be better ^^

Ok... it's hard to tell because the first one is so small, but I think it is the better of the two. But they have similar problems... I'll just treat them separately, but if I repeat myself it's deliberate, and if I don't, you may want to apply the comments back and forth.

WALLPAPER #1:
The paint splatters are really nice... but get a little (just a little) more crazy with them... they look deliberate. Put more black splotches (big ones) in -- and not necessarily round. It might even be fun to put one or two on the background image (and even invert them, so they become white splotches)... it's worth a try.

The border of the background is good, but it could be better... you'v chose to give Dante white, mist-like halos and highlights...why not make that the border too? Make his highlights become the border, and meld with it... (do not thing this has to be a big thick border, either... it can still be thin).

The background image needs to be moved up within the frame... right now the border cuts off too much. I want to see more of the background Dante's face and eyes, and less of the top of his head.

Your Text needs work... give it shadow... give it texture... give it idiosyncracies.

... Consider making Dante's white halo-ey highlights black instead... that would blend him better with the background and the picture as a whole. That, or make the whole background image, white-ish and misty too.

Your signature is too conspicuous.


WALLPAPER #2:
Your chains suck (although I couldn't do them)... use real ones instead.

Get more crazy with the ink spots.

Dial down the background image brightness of the second figure (the one fighting Dante). His face is way too bright, and the edge of it divides your whole picture like a razor. Maybe just get rid of him all together.

Again, your text is too boring. Too symmetrical, too straight, too perfect. Mess it up. Maybe use handwritten spotchy calligraphy style. Vary the size, the height, the shape etc. Give it a rawness.

And again about the signature.


Ok... hope that helps. You've got a great start on both.

I like the first one as it is basically, but I don't like the text so much. It's plain. It bores me. But don't get so crazy that it's distracting.

The second one I really don't like that much. The spots are tamed and aren't random enough. The chains are terrible. I think the image between the chains takes away from the main character. The white in front of him also takes away from him. Remember, you're trying for emphasis to him, not taking him away from being the main focus.

Hope this helps some ^^
