Sitting at my desk, twittling my thumbs, and praying that something will magically happen and all my work will be done for the night... Long and drawn out right? :S
- Fixed jpeg compression quality issues, blurred out the rought look on the moon, removed the white border, fixed the text (still suffering from a chronic lack of decent Linux fonts) and made the fog look a little better.
Here's my present to all of you! Perfect to wreck the Xmas mood ^_^! Just kidding! Sorry if it's slightly messy, I was in a rush to finish this for the end of Christmas day. Beautfiul scan found on the Snow gallery ( http://www.animepaper.net/scans/Snow/entry38081/ ). I was a bit lucky to get this nice effect on the background. I used a "soft light" layer for the trees, on a snowy background. The foreground fog is just some cloud brushes with a large blur on them.
This wallpaper is for my new friend Laurette. I'm teaching her to make anime wallpapers. Wish her luck everyone. She wants to be as good as me, so it shouldn't be too difficult to bring her up to that sort of level I guess ^_^!
Anyway, enjoy. Leave a comment - make my wallpapers better!
I have a problem with the whitish border surrounding the wall, the overly smart blurred background and the huge text which I'd find better if it was smaller and better rendered with a bevel or something.
scan is well integrated however, the mist is too saturated giving the scan a weird undesirable look.
but it's an overall cool wallpaper. the moon impressed me though as the roughness of it clearly shows.
They say to make your own breaks, but i'm not sure

The scan is really very nice and the background is amazing where did you get it, because if you done it you are an ARTIST!
I wouldn't change anything of it.
Congratulations you've done an excelent job!

Very nice! The snow and the trees look really cool, but the mist looks a little funky. The text placement looks a little wrong. Maybe it should be place more towards the middle. Also, the font is just a little too simple for me. It would look really cool if it was a super curly scripty type front. The scan extraction is mostly really good except in some little areas where parts of the line are missing. Other than that, I love the wintery feel of this wally. The moon is wonderful as well. Great job!
Lovely lovely wallie!
love the snow! looks so light and fluffy!
the background is simple and faded, to bring focus to the scan
i like how it makes the character stand out.
maybe a better text could be used?
it doesn't really suit the mood of the wall and it's quite difficult to see.
anyway, great job here!
keep it up!
thanks for sharing this!
OMG!! This wallpaper is so cute I love how you have the girl standing in the middle, it really goes well with the snow falling all around her! And the background with the moon and forest makes a great combination. I have to add this to my Favz, it's too cute! You did a great job, keep up the great work! ^_^
