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!
Just a simple Kino wallpaper. When I was flipping through the second visual book again and saw this picture, I decided to wall it. In keeping with the chess theme I drew up a chessboard, which took 3 tries to get at a decent perspective. Some color gradients, some texture, and some pencil-like outlining to keep with the sketchy nature of the original artwork... and that's about all there is to this wallpaper. It's calm, and unbelievably bright.

A really fantastic wallpaper, I really like the textures and the soft muted colors. The simple but beautiful looking chessboard really matches the character and the image perfect. I'm definetly going to add this to my favorites; I can't resist a good Kino's wall.
I saw a new Kino wall on the frontpage and I KNEW it was yours :P Well it's nice, soft pastel gradients always work well.. and it all looks so seamless. Two thumbs up :D
Wow...I love the concept, but I think the character's a little too faded... O.o Besides that, I don't really have any complaints. The simplicity in this wall is extremely effective, excellent job ;D
Creative backround. My favorite part is probably how the color goes from a pink to a pale orange. The texture used is very nice, also. Even though it may be alittle too much on the scan? Overall though, some nice work. :)
Ohhhh @_@.....rather simple yet......very original >xD
I really like the whole grainy texture you put throughout the chessboard and the character, it gives it tis.....m00d I cant really explain @_@!
anyway......fine wall uve made here! >xD

Beautiful absolutely beautiful! If you couldn't tell I just love it :) The texture is just so perfect (yes I am obsessing over the texture I do the same on my walls XD) The scan and layout just works so well, and every once In awhile I like to use a minimalistic wallpaper and this is just perfect. A big thumbs up!
Wowies, beautiful work! The perspective is really nicely done! The texture is really nice! It's simple but has alot of dept and texture. The colours blends in nicely too! Awesome work!

This isn't something I'd personally use for my desktop, but since it's beautifully done, I'll add it to my favorites.
