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 really wanted to try out grunge and fantasy since I don't think I've done either. The reason it's entitled "Elemental Infection" is because you'll see some representations for different elements like wood, water, air, ice and such, and they seem to be getting infected by some sort of virus, which is represented through the grunge work. The girl is also getting infected. I'm sorry if I the wallpaper doesn't fit the girl at all. I haven't watched Shingetsutan Tsukihime yet, and I just wanted a very high quality scan.
Please excuse my grunge work for now, as this is my first try at it. I really like how I made the texts though. smiley This just includes lots of brush work using PS default brushes and some brushes from DeviantArt, different blending modes, and a couple of stock photos from www.sxc.hu.
45 layers. Took about 8 hours in 7 days (in the middle of homework! smiley).

Wow, I really love this wall! The colours fit into the atmosphere that you want. The atmosphere gives me an eerie and mysterious feeling. Not sure if this is the feeling you get, but it's really great!
I think this wall is fantastic... The only criticism that I have to make is that the girl should be standing up... it kinda looks wierd that she's croushing down... Other than that I loved it... Perfect texture and color scheme btw... never thought those colors would match but you pulled it off spectacularly...
