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!
I was watching this wallpaper come together in Session Zero, and the finished product turned out awesome. The Destroy Gundam is really reminiscient of how it was in the series, right down to the city's destruction. The texture brings it altogether, and even though some detail is lost because of it, the overall atmosphere more than makes up for it ^^
Another GSD wall to add to my gallery. I've been itching to do another mecha wall for a while, and when I saw this scan, I knew I had found the subject I was looking for. The scan was awfully covered with text, however, but I managed to clean it up a fair bit. If you don't notice the recolouring, then I've succeeded! XD Even so, the scan was pretty poor quality, so I had to do quite a bit of texturing to cover it up.
Destroy, being such a huge piece of destruction-equipment, I decided to go with a firey, smoking, destroyed city kind of look. It took me a while to do the buildings, although now that it's finished, they're barely visible... T_T Even so, I tried to add as much details as possible with the buildings. The sky was a blend of a couple of stock photos I found at sxc.hu. Add in faint silhouettes of Freedom and Impulse, and you have the sky! Of course, there are faint hints of green beams fired all over the place, but I guess that isn't visible either, eh?
The smoke, after texturing and stuff, didn't look that much like smoke anymore... But if it's grey, it won't fit in... I guess it looks okay right now. The smoke is actually used to seperate buildings from each other, showing layers of them, and to cover up the text near the 'thigh's of Destroy, so I couldn't take them away.
Overall, I think this wall turned out pretty good. I think I definately caught the feeling of a city better this time, after the failed attempt in Berserker.

Nice
it is so good
usually the Gundam only wallpaper is not that good
they usually can show the gundam in a good way , they usually can fit in to the background
but this one is very fit in. t is cool
Also the destory gundam word is in a very good place
sometime those word will destory the whole wallpaper
this is quite fit in lol
Gosh..such a dark wallpaper!
and a scary looking machine!

So dark... reminds me of the fire demons in naussica. They were actually pretty freaky when I watched it at my age and now this wallpaper is sorta giving me the freaks too =_=
Still I really like the orangy burning background contrasted with a dark destroy and the eyes that stand out boldly.
I have no critics for this wall. From my standpoint it does a perfect job of capturing the atmosphere desired. Perfect! Great job. I'm downloading this tommorrow.(can't today hit my limit (oh the shame) sry but tomorrow for sure)
I agree, there's absolutely no flaws in this wallpaper. You can feel the impression of X1 Destroy's destructive capabilities with the riveting fiery background. Besides, it's nice not to see a typical gundam/character wallpaper. (Mobile Armors and Superweapons, unite! XD )
YES! >_< finally a good wallies with stellars mobile suits, DESTROY! mwaahahahaha... lol like i said with your other wallie, the textrure is just wonderufl and the image of the MS is great. this wallpaper is really top notch. XD

This is a really cool wallpaper of Destroy! You did a great job with the background especially with all the colors. Destroy standing in front of a city in flames with it's eyes glowing is just a very eerie image!
The effort of the author to put that huge destroy gundam is really worth applauding for...
It really shows what great menace destroy is when it comes to mass destruction...
