Hello. First time posting a wall on AP lol. At one point I had quite a few walls I was working on but lost all my data a while ago ; ; Didn't have a way of backing them up or maybe it's easier to say I was just stupid and didn't do it.

Anyways, this started as a scan I was fixing up for future use, that ultimately became a quick wall. I say quick because it didn't take long at all (less time than extracting and cleaning the scan O_o) but I do like it, thus why I'm asking for everyone's opinion about it here. Not much too it, used to be a lot brighter. I noticed the pink might be a bit um... orange? on some screens I don't know. Maybe it's just my eyes at 3 am.

If this is too simple just let me know and I'll see if I can use the same scan but a different bg. I've made a lot of sigs and what not but first wall I've finished and been somewhat happy with. Text is something I just thought up really quickly. If you all think Anemone or something would be better just tell me. Oh yeah by the way... I've never actually seen Eureka Seven <.<

First wall be gentle ^^;

Scroll down for Wall version 2

You got a good idea going on, except the face and the hair seemed kinda dimmed out

Nice concept. Just 2 things:

1) The girl's hair seems lost in the background. Maybe you wanted the blend effect, I don't know. Then it would be good.

2) The background is a bit too simple. Just a fractal on a black background. Applying some brushes, texture and filters to the frac will not do much harm. Do try at least.

Anyways, it seem it could become a good wall with some work. For first wall, it's a very good start.

Nice effects though.
I agree with infinity

Ok so I went back and changed a few things. I made the character more noticeable and made the effect a bit more um... vibrant. Extended it out just a little bit. I only used fractals on the fringe of the effect the rest consists of 3-5 brush sets. Anyways this should be a bit better. Any thing else you all notice please let me know, you've all been a great help. :D

The improved vibrance is nice, but the image looks a bit washed out, I think you should try and blend it a different way so the brushes don't interfere as well.

The left is a bit empty, maybe you should try and have something there.

I'll see what I can do to improve it a bit. I'd rather not put too much on the left though, as it might look a bit weird if there was a ton of stuff covering the whole thing, and honestly I can't think of what to put there. I'll try some stuff though and see what it's like. As for the blending, using just normal colors causes the character to stand apart from the bg too much. The whole feel is supposed to be pretty bright so that's why the colors may look washed out. I'll try some different blending to see if I can make the colors fuller while still maintaining the actual blend between the char and the bg. I'll try to remove some of the brushes going through although the image itself is a bit plain alone so I'll tone the brushes going through a bit but probably not remove them entirely.

I'm not an expert at this yet but I do try and all the advice you all are giving me is a great help and makes the overall work appear much better.

I liked more the first tryout. It was less saturated by the pink and had a more gentle atmosphere about it, it blended all together, the simple bg and the char, in pink hues.
Anyway, it's very good work, both of them.

Ok lol... here's a slightly altered one. I fixed up the character a bit and "attempted" to fill up some of the left side but nothing major. I don't know if the stuff under the name will fit the bill as taking up the blank space but it's a start. Let me know what you all think.

You improved it quite a lot! Nice!

Anyways, there is not much to say now, except that it's a little too strong. I mean, just a little too vibrant. The purple is a bit too strong, both for the main fractal and the one on the left. It could make some icons difficult to see. If you could just tone that down a bit. And for the main fract, the details (bits and pieces sticking out randomly) is a bit too visible. If you could do some blurring/blending, it could be better. Try and see for yourself.

Use filters to add some effects if you want. That could do the toning down. Nothing much to say. I like the way the frac was used near the text!
