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!
Zeit heilt alle Wunden - aber du wirst nicht vergessen
Time is a great healer - but you won't forget
1. bg = yuki and yuko's past
2. the different colours on the bg = the adventure in the past = happiness
3. gear wheels = time
4. crowd = the world, daily life
[STORY]
One year ago Yuko (the girl on the wallie) lost a very precious person, her boyfriend Yuki.
They did so many things together (1) and their past was full of happiness, like a picture with many different and warm colours. (2)
But Yuki died and Yuko's soul died as well. She didn't know what to do, she can't imagine a life without the person she loved.
Her time stopped (3), she fell into a deep hole, where nobody can reach her. But the time around her didn't stop (3+4). She can see the crowd and the working ppl. (4)
And Yuko know that nobody would wait for her anymore, she has to move the first step into the world without Yuki.
Slowly, Yuko tries to move out of the past (1) full of precious memories (2), but now full of sorrow.
Now, one year later, she's more and more able to leave her past behind her, because time is a great healer.
But she won't forget anything. That's why her "body" is still covered with the many different colours of the past.
Oh! i really like the colors for this and the people look very interesting in a good way! and the bg is very cool! and you have neat ideas! it's great that you have certain things to represent something! it gives it more meaning to it! great job!

I do have to say that this is simply gorgeous, Yina. I've been meaning to comment on some of your walls and drawings for sometime, but haven't had the time. Though, it changes now XD. What really caught my eye was the Rahxephon scan you used. =3 I've just recently gotten into the series and I'm really into it \o/. After reading though the little story you wrote, I made some time to comment on this wall XD.
First off, with the scan. Gorgeous. Just a beautiful extraction and cleaning as well. Time well spent and even with the texture in the bg, the scan still looks amazing. I also love the concept of the colors that go across her, very nicely done and just enough to give a beautiful effect, yet not too much to where it begins to drown the scan. Quite a unique idea if I do say so myself and I really like it.
This is where I fell inlove with this wall. The gears really interest me, but what I really like, is what you did with the people in the background. A beautiful concept that I really like, having her stand out in the crowd and the actions of the people in the background are very realistic as well giving the viewer the strong impression as if time itself was just frozen. I applaude you for that as well as for the unique idea behind this background. Bringing out their past with colors and how each color represents a part of their past as well and it shows how the memories of her loved one will always stay with her, even as time progresses. Even if time forgets, she shall always remember. Just a beautiful concept and how you portrayed it is so..perfect. I love it. The gears was also a very original and interesting concept, showing how time still progresses and that it never stands still. Honestly, everything has just been so beautiful done and you really did a fantastic job with the street as well and just the overall feel of this wallpaper, I just have to say that this is probably one of the deepest walls I've ever seen. Why? Mainly due to the concept behind it all and how it's portrayed. Using such means to display her feelings and showing that she still carries them with her, even if her boyfriend has departed the world, the memories of the past will always be with her, or else I'm looking into it far too much, but either or you really made quite a work of art, Yina.
Overall, what can I say, a beautiful extraction, a very original and unique idea that turned out beautifully and great use of the colors as well. It almost gives a rugged type feel to it, but to me that just shows the bumps and potholes in the road of life. The only thing I can honestly say is that I'd love to see a textless version of this wall. It's not because I don't know German, nor do I think the text is ugly. I'd just love to see a textless version of such beauty =x. This earns my favorite of the month, hands down and no questions about it.
I told fuku already... :) But yah, try to take the judges' comments with a grain of salt ^^;; because well, we do drop the highest and lowest scores for each wall before we calculate the total, so some of the judges comments might not be from the judges whose scores actually counted for the wallie... and sometimes judges comments don't necessarily reflect the score that they gave for it either ^^;;
Anyways. I think that you did a really beautiful job with this wall :D I love the background design, colors, and texture... :) And your conception for the wallie, of course, I always enjoy reading the story that you come up for your walls XD I think that you managed to capture the bittersweet feeling very well in this wallpaper :) Man, her sad expression is really catching... *_*
:) Be proud. You know this is a good wall :)

Very nice wall . . . and a very interesting thoughts you have. (in a good way ) :D . . . anyway, the scan is a beauty, nice extraction too. The background its very beautiful with nice colors too . . . i like the idea of all those people on the road . . . cool! :D
Well, keep up the good work and thank you for sharing it. :D
Wow such a great story...very sad. I think you have done a great job on the wallpaper and it really reflects the story well. The colours work really well together. I like the usuage of textures, it looks really effective. Great work, love it-Shira
Usually, i don't comment on wallpapers...but...i was compelled to comment on this one.
the wall itself = nice exectution.
but.
it has nothing to do with rahXephon. and that, i don't like.
it's not just you, but i have something against walls that are made from concepts unrelated to the anime or the feeling of the anime.
for example, you took mishima, and made her into someone else, to portray your story.
in my opinion, you should have drawn her instead. to me, it's no longer a rahXephon wall like it should be.
it's a mix between original and rahxephon. the only thing that ties it to it is the fact it has mishima in it, whom you no longer call mishima.
i mean, to each his own, but thats just my view on it. i don't really see any point to it if it's not made for the anime itself. i personally, don't even wall a series i've never seen/read. i don't want it to turn out that it has nothing to do with the series.
for my derka wall, i spoiled ahead 6 volumes of bleach just so my wall wouldn't be unfitting for the series.
again, thats just my opinion.
but maybe it's something to think about next time you make a wall.
i've found the best walls are those that renvoke a feeling you got from watching the series, or just a really beautiful/dramatic/funny scene from a series as well.
This wall is simply beautiful and definitely powerful. I can't think of a better concept to fit this scan than the featureless people on the groundless roads...very thoughtful and creative. It makes her stand out so much more and the colors here match so well with the message of this wall and emphasize her unidentified surroundings. The gears at the top is very different from the sky or space that most people would've chosen to go with, and I think they're just awesome.
This is really an amazing wallpaper with so much meaning. You did a most excellent job with this.
Beautiful job. I really, really like the background of the gears and outlines of people. I really love the coloring and I think the text is nice (even though I don't speak a lick of German---people are going to have to start using more French).
Oooh~
Sehr schönes Thema echt. Also mir gefällt there Wallpaper vom Grund auf, obwohl mir there Anime doch weniger gefällt. Aber there Background und there Titel ist so schön gewählt...Einfach wundervoll ;)...Ich liebe dich XD, erm deine Works :P..+favourite ;)

This is so beautifully done. I think my fave thing is the coloring maybe or is it the gears or is it the scan of Mishima Reika. It's just so symbolic and interesting and different. Lovely job - fave!
Wow...i already saw this in Mt and it looks absolutely awesome still!! ^-^ must fav it again.
the effects are just outstanding, and it all looks so mysterious in a way. beautiful scan. :)
