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!
This wall was a experiment. I wanted a wall of H&C since long time ago, but the scan I was re-coloring is really hard to ... recg. I`m still do it because that's the pic I want to my desktop, but meanwhile, I made this like a funny job.
The whole bg was made by me with photoshop with only shapes. I know, it's... weird O.o but... well... I'm not a genius, you know. Cards were made with 3 or so pieces of scan, without colours, a little worked with finger tool, filter and layer propieties. And ther are textures in cards and bg too.
Each chara, each card. A game hand in the card table.
Simple concept, simple wall.
Characters: Yamada, Mayama, Takemoto, Hagu and Morita.
Size: 1600x1200 72px
Time: near to 12 hours (busy doing nothing... well, maybe it's better to say seaching the concept take the most of my time).
Layers: 17
Textures in: cards, card table and table.

Oh this is too sweet, just like the show. Love the simplicity and the colors of for the cards. The type for Honey and Clover is kind of hard to read and the photo album could use more texture. The clover on the cover is a plus and it's just a perfect wall for the series, really great job~
Really cute idea, but the extraction of the characters needs a bit of work ^^; And they're really over-saturated.. Really cute idea though, and I love the design in the background! The green and gold go really well together.
Whoa...The idea of the pictures is brilliant!
I love the bg and the flower (not sure if it's a flower or what) but I like it!
The colors were blended well and it's really nice!
I like the idea ^^ Nice and simple wallpaper but it's effective! ^-^ I like the textures you used! Look nice on the wallpaper ^_______^ Great job on the wallpaper!
Maybe we'll see even more HachiKuro since season two is airing! Very nice wall, but I agree with the above comments in that it could use a little work.
This is really cool.. i recently started watching honey and clover finally!!
i didnt have a chance but now i do and i love this show!!
the wallpaper is creative =)
Interesting concept, I will take the chance of going too far to say this, I think the cards-game effect would have been much stronger, and deeper, if you also had a large deck of faced down cards somewhere, in some corner maybe, maybe only partly seen, that would also give you the chance to make the pattern on the cards back something H&C related and give us a real desk, I want a real desk, a wooden one <.<... Those are the changes I would love to see.
That said, this wallpaper is still great as is and now serves admiringly as my wallpaper and I have been, though admittedly somewhat absent mindedly, looking for something new for my desktop for months now.
I will now go browse through your other works, though probably in the same manner I have been looking for a new wallpaper :).
I really like this wall! Maybe the characters looks over-saturated but to me that makes them look more like real old photographs. It would have been nice to have some texture on the "book", though.
