Okay, so I'm trying to finish this wall in time for Valentine's Day. There still seems to be something wrong with it, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe there's too much going on? I don't know, please give any comments or suggestions that you can.<a href='http://img194.exs.cx/img194/8452/magnacartawallpapercopy8ie.jpg' target='_blank'>http://img194.exs.cx/img194/8452/magnacart...apercopy8ie.jpg</a>

Hmmm... the characters are too dark for one thing. There's also way too many sparkles, maybe lessen that. The tree stands out, so do the cherry blossoms. the reflection looks weird, since the moon is behind them And the moon looks too big.Just try to make it not so 'packed', and try to space it out alittle bit.

Okay, I fixed it abit. I'm not sure if the tree is still to ummm prominent? I removed the reflections, reduced the size of the moon, made the characters a little bit lighter, toned down the glow from the tree, and erased some of the sparkles.<a href='http://img213.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img213&image=magnacartawallpaperver24bc.jpg' target='_blank'>http://img213.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img213&ima...aperver24bc.jpg</a>

Everything seems to clash- the river and grass with the sakura and the characters only match with the moon. That's just my opinion though <!--emo&:ph34r:--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ph34r.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='ph34r.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Hmm, I think the characters, the river and the tree are too bright compared to the moon and grass. If you bring them down a bit, they'll probably fit in a bit more.I'd also reduce the number of stars, sparkles and petals even more - the petals might look better if they were more difting down from the tree, rather than flying across? Dunno.I also think the character are a bit too big - the bg is kinda competing for space with them, if you see what I mean. It might help if you remove the river - it'll reduce the number of things in the wall competing for attention.Hope that helps <!--emo&:)--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.

Your overall use of color is dreadful, to be compeltely honest. There is no balancing shade and no unity in your color scheme. You are using green, blue, yellow, and red hues alogn with extreme light and dark. This setup is very hard to blend. The characters do not look like they are part of the scene at all- they are just kinda "there". The pink cloud still looks slapped o nand has no real relevance to anythign in the piece. As said, teh characters are too big, which leads to the perspective of the whole wall being off. The shape and perspective of the river and teh grassy banks don't flow at all, and the moon is in a very uncomfortable position. Honestly, It is going to take ALOT of work to alter everything in this wall. I think the idea is great, but it woudl be more work to fix it at this point than to start over with the same idea and really pay attention to the perspective and colors of it all.

Hi ichirusince the posts above me already said what needs attention..i would focus in giving ya suggestions, ya may consider it or not it's up to you <!--emo&:D--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->since the characters' color is in the shade of yellows and browns, i would suggest an afternoon BG, just change the colors of the elements in your BG to browns, reds and yellowit would make everything flow in togetherand of course ya gotta fix the perspective first...

Everything has pretty much been said...but i'd like to add to it a bit, and maybe rephrase some stuff.like 5string said, the color in yoru wall is actual;ly very bad. it clashes, and theres too much. everything is too bright to be lit at night only be the moon. which is weird, because you have 2 different light sources. you have the light source lighting the characters, and only the characters, and the light source of the moon, which lights everything else (in a way) and not the characters. actually, the lighting in general makes no sense. everything looks like it's glowing (for example the tree) and the water just doesn't seem like water.actually, to kind of make this easier, i'm gonna draw right on your wall x_xhope ya don't mind ^^;;;i'll briefly show you an idea of what you COULD do for color and stuff, so that you better understand what i mean.to start...the color should reflect that of the scan. the colors are orange and yellow and browns. you could either do what tate suggested and switch it to a sunset scene, or you could do what i showed in the scan. change the colors of the stuff already in the wall.the colors you have are too bright, and they clash way too much2nd, the prespective is off. thats something that takes time, but you have more than one vanishing point making it akward.3rd, again, the lighing is weird. i'd suggest remove the moon and stick with the one lightsource coming from the scan. put some moutains or more trees in the background to kind of covor up the horizon line. that also may help your perspective problem a bit.also, the lighting is extremly flat. your tree is a cardboard cut out of a tree. it's not round like a real tree would be. you can acomplish a more round tree by first, adding texure to the trunk, and then burning away at the part that ISN'T being hit by the light. your sakura petals also have no definition. they're really flat and look like a big blob. you're gonna wanna draken some of that to show more depth.4th, the water. it looks like a river of blue paint. it needs strong glistening highlights, and strong shadows. it also needs some sort of reflection. maybe now you could put a moon/stars reflection, since we can think of the moon as being on front of them. also, the water would be a lot darker, since it's night time.5th is your grass. you used the grass brush. and thats gonna cause problems for 2 reasons. you're covering an area that goes way back wit hthe same size grass brush. grass would get much smaller and less definable as the scene went back. yoru grass is all the same size, making it flat looking. also, the grass brush is extremely overused. try drawing your own blade or clup of glass and making your own brush. it'll help it look more like grass.sorry i kinda drew all over your picture. i hope it was at least helpful : /if you have any more questions, on how to do some of this stuff or whatever, feel free to ask <!--emo&:D--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Okay thanks for all the suggestions, I'll try to fix the wall as best as I can.
