First of all, i've to say that it's only my second try with photoshop (i gave up the first : second topic about this ) and i worked a lot to arrive at this result . If you don't believe me, just check session zero : one two
I also looked in groups (french speaking people, ...) and asked help to %trismugistus for blood stains tutorials, ...
Second, i'll explain the meaning of the wallpaper :
If you are following blood +, you've seen the episode when Saya goes on a visit in a museum with classmates and get shocked when she sees pictures of vietnam war in a wall of the museum & the one when they explain that they were obliged to awake saya brutally from his sleep and she went mad, even cutting an harm to hagi ...
Here's the start of my inspiratin for this wallpaper.
Third, i'll give a summary of how i arrived to this result (if you want more explaination just ask) :
For the background, i found a little picture of real wood then i constructed a whole wall, then i used effects, settings, burn tool, ...
For the 4 pictures : I took 4 screenshots with Bsplayer then i downsized them to have a good quaity and i improved their quality (look the them in the first and in the last wallpaper and you'll see the big improvement);
then i put a white background to make them look like pictures then i made effects on the edge of this, then darkened a little.
For the blood i struggled so much, with so many versions (nearly going mad with this) :
playing with different combinations of layers,multiply, drop shadow, inner shadow, outer glow, inner glow, ...
I searched for different sets of brushes ...
I put all this blood to show how brutal is the forced awakening of Saya (she don't even recognize Hagi and cut his harm in this episode).
For the text, i searched fonts & tried different colors.
My user name is in the bottom right in white to be more visible.
I worked more than a week to improve my understanding on how to use photoshop and improve this wallpaper and i'm proud that i improved so much myself; i'll continue working and improving for the next wallpaper.
I want to say thank you to trismugistus, the11342, blu3angl, baldric, Thesquid, neb1236, and all others who commented because every advice helped me a lot.
I turned out nicely... still it can be improved but it already improved since your cherry jam -looking blood :p
bah one day u'll make it don't worry ;)
now my big complaint is on the font. it ruins the whole thing, it's just splated on the wall :/
do something about it! i suggest a grunge font or something similar... like 1942 report...
Big compliment, cause you made it. it looks great and as i can see you worked hard on that one. the blood looks really good and the bg fits also to it. all in all this is great, i'm looking forward to see more of you. * +fav *
Hey Roberto! Accepted! Very nice bloody wall, thanks to the11342 your blood teacher :)
Blood colour is pretty, background too. So you did a great work (hard?). See ya
Congratulations! *shakes yer hand* ^^
the blood looks cool and neat...the bg (wooden thingie ryt?) fits right into it too!
there are some room for improvements...but great job!
Wow, that's a big improvement compared to the first one. Good job cleaning up those pictures and the wall looks really good. Great job on the blood too, although I don't really like that inner shadow on the top of each of the splatters, it makes the blood look really thick. I also think you should change the font, it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the wallpaper. Great job for your second attempt at a wallpaper!
Well, you definitely live up to the amount of gore that the series portrays though the blood splatters don't necessarily look like real blood. Blood is thinner while you give it a thicker look in this wall. However, since you're fairly new to Photoshop I actually applaud you because it's not an easy thing to master and even after one year I still have trouble with blood.
The one thing that keeps bugging me though is you seem to have used the same picture of Saya twice. A little more diversity in the screen shots would have been nice.
Also, change the font to something that fits in better with the bloody tone of the wall. It just stands out like a sore thumb right now.
Well looks good. Definitely fits the mood for the anime. You did pretty good blood for your first time. I'm not too good with blood myself so... hehe well anyways I like how it turned out! Good Work!
Yeah i agree with my main man and pimp THE11324 the font really brings it down ......love the blood tho..you should use the EDIT thing at some point and fix that text thing....
but its all good man peace out DooooD

Lol, the title seems like it came from a random teenage hardcore/grindcore band. My only complaint on the wall is that the blood seems like is floating flat in the air...not good.
Yay it was accepted! Great job! you did improve a whole lot, and i'm sure you'll be able to make even better walls in the future XD
the only i don't really like is the text.
I'm happy to see it finally here Roberto :) Congratulations !!
Well well... I liked the wooden background, however, I was not satisfied with the pics of Saya... Also the font, i felt that it was too soft for Blood Plus. The way you made the blood is quite realistic!I liked it too!Finally, the overall result is nice :)
Keep up the good work !!

Congratz on getting your wall accepted. It's a cool wall and looks like the hard work is paid off. The wall look alot better then the first version. the only thing that dont seems to fit in is the text other then that this wall is looking good.

When you love someone ... it can make you feel sad sometimes ... or sometimes it can make you feel lonely ... But it can make you feel happier than you've ever been.
