Help on a Bleach wall and Naruto Wall
1 Page: [ 1 ]
Ok, I've got two wallpaper's in progress that I'd like advice on. The first one is a Naruto Wallpaper that I thought was ok but got rejected when I submitted it. I'm sure whatever the reason was was something simple that I can fix, but I'd like opinions.

The second wallpaper is a Bleach wallpaper of Ichigo that I just finished today, but would like opinions on before attempting to submit it to the wallpaper section.

Please help me out here. I'm trying to improve on my work and the only way to do that is through constructive criticism and advice. All comments are appreciated, whether good or bad.

Regarding the Bleach wall, on the lower left, one of the lines looks like it's poking out a tad too far. I love the way the ground is glowing up like lava or something. The only other thing I see is that his cape seems to blend in with the background in a semi-transparent way.
Thanks, I fixed those things. Use the same link to see the difference. Any suggestions on the Naruto one?

The naruto one has unique colours but still something strange about that i love the bleach one ^^ great job !
(You may want to separate these; 1 wallpaper per thread generally..)
The Bleach one is a nice concept, but really needs polishing. Nothing is very sharp, especially the character. The horizon just cuts off and there are some burnt patches around. It seems like a transparent layer may be messing it up.
The black lines aren't really helping anything, and don't fit the wall. Your sig needs to go in the bottom corner, unless this is an advertisement for you. Good concept, just needs work.

Ok, I'll work on those...what would you suggest for the horizon? And what should I do for the border instead of the lines, if anything?
I'd say that you don't need a border. Also, is he just floating over the... um.. lava? Try placing him on a rock or something. The horizon does just fade away. Place something in the background... maybe mountains? Also, I'm sort of anti-text, so unless you are really attached to it, I'd remove it.
In the Naruto wall... which scan do you want us to be focusing on? If you really want to keep the second pic, perhaps lower the opacity on it. I'd remove the one in the foreground all together because the one in the back has so much more emotion... But that's just me. Also, you've used a layer blending mode which totally alters his colors. I'd change the color scheme as well. Blue and pink don't really go with the images you've selected.
I'm very sorry if I sounded harsh at all. ^^;;
Keep working on the Bleach wall. That isn't to say you should abandon the Naruto wall, just that the Bleach wall has more of an established concept that you can continue to develop.

Not at all, this is quite helpful. I'll work on the Naruto one later (its actually quite old, and I may end up forgetting about it, but I'll proabably try working with it later)
I'm diggin your idea of rocks and mountains in the background. I'll try that out, its a splendid idea. I think I will keep the text, but I'll see if I can't make it fit the theme a little more. I'll ditch the border though. Thanks for the input.
:EDIT: I added mountains in the background, and a few rocks in the forground. I also changed the text and got rid of the border. I'm thinking that perhaps I should add a few more rocks so the three added don't look quite so out of place, but I'll let you guys decide whether you think thats necessary.
Again, use the link in the first post to view the newer version.

Ah, much improved. The firey rocks don't fade off to the mountains quite good enough. Just needs some intermediate ground. I still don't care for the text. Looks like something from cooltext.com.. The colors need some adjusting as well. There appears to be some green around in there, which really clashes with the reds.
Couple of questions before I continue work on it. I realize you think there's no need for text, but I'd like to have it, so what would your suggestion be on some text that would fit the wallpaper better? By fade the rocks, do you mean make the ground darker in the back area (I'm sure you do, but I'm asking just the same). I thought I got the green out of the picture...do you by chance mean some of the bright flame spots? I continue to appreciate the feedback.
The naruto wall seems too high of contrast, i'm not sure. but the bleach wall is actually pretty cool looking, however i think the text is a little too much, regular font will look much nicer
Ok, I took a stab in the dark and tried to answer my own questions. I read you're post silence, but in the process of looking for a decent regular font I came across this one and thought it looked rather cool and fitting, so I gave it a try. I also did my best to take the green out of the flames, but theres one or two spots that just don't want to change color unless I erase them, and then it wouldn't look good enough, so I'll just leave those be. I think I blended the lava into the background better, unless antabakai was talking about the rocks sticking out of the lava...
As always use the same link to view the new result. Hopefully I'm done with this wallpaper so I can submit it...

I like the text a bit better now. The green seems to be mostly gone now as well.
My comment about the rocks.. I meant that the exploding ground goes back about 25 feet from where he's standing, and then there is just distant mountains. You need something to connect them better, like a bit of lighter ground.. Something darker than the fire, but lighter than the mountains.
That's what I was trying to say.
One last thing, the rocks in the background seem to be in focus more than the rocks up front... Oh, and the lightnight bolt thing has some faded out areas that don't look too good. Add the same bolt on top, blur/screen and color dodge over the original. Should get rid of the fade outs.

Awesome, I'll give those things a try, thanks.
