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!
Weeeee!! finally a full metal alchemist wallpaper! Ive been working on this for over a week. Im so sick of it...ugh. Well, the interesting thing is that I realized that the scan quality was very very bad after I extracted it. And I was too lazy to find another better quality one, so I decided to clean up the scan...I thought it was supposed to be easier!! T_T Instead, it seriously took me 6 hours just to do the scan. only 20% or so of the scan is in its original content. Ed and Al looked like they were diseased before. Thank god they look so much better now! Oh, and if you even think about ripping this scan out of my wall.....well, you dont even have to worry about MT coming after you...because you better start running! I'll eat your head off and hit you with a frying pan if you rip from this wall. This is the hardest wall I've ever worked on besides ~Aquamarina~.
Well, I'd been planning to make a Full Metal Alchemist wall for awhile now and never got around to it. the background seems to be too fantasy-ish to me, while Ed and Al could be plonked into this world and still fit (meaning there isnt anything "fantasy-ish" about them). so that part bothers me, but I cant think of anything to do about it. I was thinking about putting wings on them.....but ahh...no. just..no. this scan is definitely not a wing-addable scan. ah pooie. I really do like doing wings.

Very good job cleaning up the scan, the birds and the bg look very nice. I wish more people would be here to check it out, but no matter, its a fav for me :)
Awsome wallpaper! Wow you really did do a nice job cleaning the scan can't tell that anything was a mess about it ^_^! The backround really seems to fit for me, its like there relaxing and enjoying the mountains. You said this was the hardest wall you ever worked on and I believe you! Major fav for me!
Its beautifull, and very pretty especially the
background i really like it, the scan are
cleaned very nicely, overall effect is perfectly
good, and its quite peacefull looking,
Nice job on this! You cleaned up this scan pretty well! The only thing is, the scan is a bit dark for the background...Also, some of the lines aren't as crisp as they could have been. The text kinda bothers me, like it's not supposed to be there or it just doesn't match...(my opinion though!). I like the flock of birds in the background, but it seems like it's just a bit too much. The little shrub/plant thingies by Ed's coat towards the bottom don't really look crisp enough. Over all, I do like this wall because it has a sense for serenity...

Those are scans? they look like vectors! REally awesome job, the two things I'm not quite fond of is the overpopulation of birds..xD
the sand in his hand just looks a bit weird, but Awesome job nevertheless
Wow, I really liked this wallpaper of yours. To think that you had to clean up the scan since the original image was pretty bad makes me like it even more. You did a really good job on it since the image does not look weird or anything. I also liked how the background fit with what was happening with the image. The scenery is very nice and the subtle blur on the mountains adds a pretty good effect (of distance etc). Keep up the good work!
p.s. how bout less sparkles/pollen (the white things in the sky) next time...the sky seems a tad bit cluttered

Wow o_o. this is SO awesome! man, the quality is PERFECT^o^! i love the pictures you used of edward & alphonse with the birds & everything, totally awesome^_^. keep doing great wallpapers!
I don't think it's too fantasy-ish. Actually, I think it looks real, as if you could look out your window in the countryside and see them walking down the path like that.
Either way, you did do a great job with the scan, and I love the shot of those two like that regardless of the background, so...

I think I like the contrast between the dark scan and the light background... Maybe it's just me?

I like
The background is alright as well.
However this particular background doesn't blend in with the scan that well.
