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!
Wallpaper No. at AP: The very first one Total Time Taken: Three Weeks Layers: Priceless . . . err 40+
This wallpaper took a while, and it probably didn't end up so great. Looking through this site really hurts my self-esteem, Lol. Everyone here is so talented, so artistic, creative and absolutely kickass at wall'n. And meanwhile what am I? Nothing. Sigh. Well this is my very first attempt at an AP (AP as in Advanced Placement. =] Bleh, Stuy ruins my mind) wallpaper. Hopefully it isn't TOO bad.
The Idea
First off, the Section Zero thread can be found here. My main intention was to blend Saber in a blizzard scene using blue and white hues (Which is why the wallpaper is so linear). And shining through the storm is hope. basically the idea is to "Never lose Hope" even in the worst of times. Pretty simple, and fairly overused. The scan itself is fairly overused too, but I really like the scan so. =]
The Versions
Twenty-Seven . . . Sheesh. Go to the Section Zero Thread for a complete listing. =]

I like it! love the blue hue here and then adding several brush effects to make it seem shes stnading in a blizzard is perfect! Good job on this one! And for your very first wall, thats amazing! I'm impressed! Hope to see more well made walls from you! Goodluck! Favorites for me!

Apologies for not following up on your last session zero posts - been awfully busy recently. Anyways you've chosen a pretty good text placement yourself. Imho, would be easier to read if it went from bottom up instead of from top down, but that's just nitpicking.
Good work removing the unwanted starry light fx from the text. Next time, you'll remember to save different versions as you work so that you can go back and undo stuff like that more easily! ;Þ
WAH...Excellent Saber wall... she looks really beautiful in that pose... the sky in the background with the grass at the bottom look well done... they main image layer and the background layer really go well with each other... keep up the good work... hope to see some more....and keep up good work!^^hehehe

Wow nicely done ^_^. Saber fits in the background good and I actually like the snowy background for this scan best ^^. She's covering herself like she's in a cold place, so that's what made the wall awesome ^^. Great work! *adds*
Only thing that bothers me is that vertical text at the left, sorry i didn't notice this wall being accepted earlier, xp
been quite busy myself. Great Job! and COngrats!
lookin forward to you makin more walls ne~?
Personally I think this wallpaper is beautiful, it takes that whole beautiful girl in snow concept and takes it one step farther. She looks actually cold, especially with the eyes closed and you can tell a lot of work was done with the photoshop layers. I like it.
She looks like some sort of ice princess or snow goddest! I like the fadding effect. In a way, you did the wind effect in the whole picture really realistic. I recon you could have put a bit more colour or more saturation (if you use photoshop) But still it pretty cool! Good job, mate!
