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!
LL: (if you are still on) I need to have you making a group annoucement about the card game. Currently very few people are on it. I make the design,but we need set the rules soon as possible.
I'm a bit behind everyone else in my group, but I figured I'd at least post up my entry for the recent Battelgrounds contest I did before everyone forgot it we won.
I went for a very old-school grunge look on this one, sticking to the 3-color pallet of orange, yellow-orange, and yellow to give everything a psuedo-septia look; the clocks just fit the theme of the show perfectly and they work realy well as the main eye-catcher in the wall. The re-cg by Kalico is simply amazing, an I'm glad it looked so good in the finished product. Other than that, it was just a fan wall to make, and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do!
Wow.. this is great. I love the fading effect you apply with the character, and how it looks like she's fading away into the background. The background itself is full of intricate detail and lovely textures! .. I love the "wind" effect you emphasize in this piece... as well as your choic of presenting this image. I've seen this image used before... but I really like the color scheme and way you presented this one ^.^ .. My only ".." about this would probably be the font o.O .. "Rah Xephon looks like "R ah Xephon" to me because of the font style .. >< .. other than that though, as usual, it's a job well done! ^.^ Keep it up! :3
Great wall! I love it. The sense of time...the clock is great. It reminds me of shakugan no shana's op. It's really pretty. Haven't watched the anime yet but heard the ost and it was fabulous. The song actually matched this wall. Did you listen to the ost while making this one? I wonder....

HI! I remember seeing this character on your avy and sig, ne? Hehe, rock on! The grunges and textures on teh BG looks sublime! I see you added sum world maps and what not to the mix as well! As for the character, you might want to remove the outlines from her extraction! Wat I do is highlight her by holding CTRL & click on teh scan layer, and then use Select :: Modify :: Contract to 1 pixel! Then Inverse and delete the desired outline! Viola, she looks magnifique! Anyhoo, it still is a wonderful wallie, deddy! Hope my simple tutorial helps you out, ne!
wasn't this your avatar at one point?? Heh, heh...thought it was familiar. I really like the scan but I think I like how it's integrated into the BG more. The way the grunge overlaps the character is done very skillfully. It's enough to make the image interesting but not too much as to cover up or distract. The color is a nice earthy color that fits very well with the image. I think the feathers are an exceptional touch. Their slight glow adds intrigue and contrast the darker colors. It also makes her skin almost seem luminous. very nice job!O.o

Would have been perfect without the text, though =(

And the clock gives it such a great "old" look
