After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!
Oh...okey. I'm glad because people on the ShoutBox are..not that active as it..used to be..I think. Thank you for telling me that Kitty. :) Loleta will come back after we are back from the resturant.
First of all, I have to apologise as I'll have to put off completing this wallpaper till 3rd Dec because I'm currently preparing for my exams. (So check back after that! :D)
I'll definitely consider all your suggestions and fix all the flaws in this wall that you guys have pointed out, and I promise to at least vector the lines, if not the whole of Urahara, to fix that paint-daub look.
Thank you all for the helpful suggestions!

[04 Nov Update]
I changed the texture from the previous one, because it was of too low a resolution and the Sharpen filter didn't work the way I wanted it to. I think this one gives it more punch, more 'dramatic effect' if you would call it. I also fixed some other flaws I overlooked the first time.
A lot of you commented that the filter was too strong. I'm not really sure which filter you guys were referring to but I assume it's the "paint daubs" look rather than the film grain. The paint daubs didn't come from the filter though >< But I did some smudging to make the colour look smoother. Hopefully that works better now.
I have two other versions here (without the glow), one with the same texture and the other of a different one. I'm not sure if this wall would look better without the glow, so do comment if you think it doesn't ^^
I'm supposed to be studying for my exams, but I sneaked in a wallpaper -_-
I couldn't resist. After all, this is awesome Urahara we're looking at
The line I put in is just something random I thought of...I happened to revisit the Turn Back The Pendulum arc again so I'm still in the "Darn Aizen you made me your scapegoat" mood Urahara was in. And so, it's like Urahara's still trying to send a telepathic message over to Aizen, "You know, the truth's gonna be out someday". And yeah, hence the Aizen silhouette.
Alright I don't know what I'm saying, it's almost 4am on my side and I don't deny, I'm a bit delirious at the moment. And I must admit, walling is so much faster when you're not vectoring ><
Texture's from Sanami276@deviantART, but I edited it a little.
I really like how he fades out into splatters. But he's a bit too unclear. I think it'll be better if he's normal and use the texture over the whole wall on multiply.
I agree with the above.
The splatter looks cool, and I like it. But the filter used is too much for the characters face. Try and tone it down. If that's the filter that's helping with the splattering effect, make the head a separate piece and remove the effect from it, then keep the filter on the rest of the image. Good job as far as I'm concerned, just keep it up!
The fading effect is amazing. It fit well to the title of the paper.
But I agree with those who said above, the whole work maybe a little unclear.
(personal idea) maybe lighter color for the background will work.
I really like the overall concept of this wallpaper.
The way you included Aizen's silhoutte like that is pretty innovative. But the thing that bugs me is the background texture. It's too blurry for me. Maybe you can use Sharpen on it?
Like everyone says too, tone down on the filters. But other than that, this is amazing! The text you used for this wall is perfect.
You're back! YAYZ. **glomps** The character is a bit too water-colored. Try to sharpen him up a bit. Again, the colors and shading, and textures, AND typography si JUST AMAZINGLY AWESOME! XD
The added textures look really good! But Kisuke's head still feels too water colored, I still think that leaving out his head from all the filter effects will make the wall look better.
I really like the idea that you have going on there, its really cool^^
i dont no anything bout filters or anything cause im only a bigginer at PhotoShop and what im saying might have already been said, but i think that... dammit i forgot his name, i think its Urahara or something like that, anyway his edges stand out too much, i think that you should make them softer because he just stands out from the background too much, but i like the white glow that you have around him its nice^^
other than that its really cool wall^^

This wallpaper is pretty awesome
& it's Urahara- making it even more amazing!
Contrary to some of the others' opinions, I really like the filtering & think it's a great effect, however, the only thing that kind of bugs me is the line down the middle of the background. Is that intentional?
OMG take off the paint daub filter asap! It hurts my eyes >.<. It doesn't match the splatter you did on the right side (which is awesome by the way). The text is really cool. I like the background texture on the second choice better. Also try maybe taking off or lowering the opacity on the outer glow on the character. It makes him pop off the background to much, I think he would look sharper and better other way. Try using the scan of him, with no filters added. Duplicate the scan layer twice. Bottom scan layer use the Noise -> Median filter on him if you want a softer smudge look. On the top scan layer above that try putting it's opacity to 50% and see what you think?
It's a cool wall,but I hate the water color effect or whatever on him,he looks totally unclear...the typography is really good,so is the splatter...just remove the effect on him,and the wall will be perfect^^
Hi thanks to all of you for the really helpful comments!
I regret having to say I have to put off completing this wallpaper till 3rd Dec as I''m currently preparing for my exams, but I'll definitely consider all your suggestions.
@Karaina,
The line came with the texture which I got off deviantART, will fix that when I have the time.
@PinkPrincessLacus,
I didn't exactly use the paint daubs...It was the result of a simple colour trace of the original scan. I didn't have the time to do a proper vector yet and the original scan was of too low a resolution, so I had to make do with that at the moment. I didn't think the paint-daub look was of too much a concern at first, because I was working with splatters after all. But like many of you have said, it probably looks too water-colourish. So I'll fix that when I get the time as well.
I feel that the layout of this piece is very well done, although... it could be a little bit more to the left, I always try not to centre a figure/object because putting it off centre might enhance the work. The lighting could be more dramatic, but still this is very powerful, your choice of font is perfect! Hope to see more of your work, good luck.
There are things I like in this wallpapers and there are things I hate.
First, what I like:
What you did to Uraharas' picture,
even though the picture itself is not that good qualitywise...
The background seems fitting, at least the colors, but make it richer!
What I hate:
Aizen's silhouette.
I mean, the size, the placement...it's all wrong!
I don't like the font either.
Try some other fonts and make Aizens presence fiercer! It's Aizen-sama, for gods sake ;)
Like many people already said, the face is a bit unclear and that decreases the quality of the picture. Try making it a bit more clear and it might get better ^^
Anyway, the fading effect looks great and the wallpaper is quite original xD
Also, the font you used on the text looks amazing!
I'm going to fav it...but I would fav it with more gladly if you fixed that mistake referred before ^^

User Comments!
Looking forward to seeing this done! =D
The splatter is cool, so work with that. Maybe a few more textures would be good too.
