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.
When I decided to make a Chobits-wallpaper I was thinking of making a scenery wall with happy, bright, colors (it was very rare that I even considered it). The music I listened to when I started working on it was made by Marilyn Manson, though, and so poor little Chi ended up in an alleyway located in a dark grunge-wallpaper. The idea for this version came to me when I listened to the MM-song called Coma Black. The quote in the middle is from that song.
I wanted to make an alley, but I couldn't find a good stock photo to use. Hence, I made the alley myself. I drew the picture in the background on notebook-paper. When that was done I scanned it and started making the other parts with the drawing as a base. I created the rest of the walls in photoshop. It took a lot of filters and distorting, but I finally got it right. Last but not least, I added a street from a stock photo I found.
The result was my most experimental wallpaper yet and, in my opinion, one of the better works I've made. I worked hard on it for two days and I'm glad that I made something new instead of the ordinary (and probably crappy) scenery wall it would have been.
Wow i really like this one, for some reason it all fits together quite well from the scan, to the quote, to the different but still good backround. Very good work.
Interesting concept. but i think the scan is too clean in relation to the rest of the wall. other than that, it's cool. i like the darkness and a little more light reflecting from the scan onto the wall and floor may add to it a bit more.
nice job though :)
I like a lot this work...specially what you write... is this yours? or do you extract it from the anime? because I never listen something like that before...
When I saw this picture I never thought that it was of Chii...it very different from the others of the same anime

WHOA! Talk about creativity! I love how CHii stands out in the alley and the glow about her. I also like the sketchy backdrop and the overall darkness! Excellent concept and theme and I seriously love that font and quote! Instant Favorite! Well done!

I hope you make that i recomende you...

I think the background could have been made better. Chii doesn't blend in well with it. I don't think a stock photo would have looked that great either, but maybe you could have found an alleyway in an anime and taken a screenshot of it or something, then played around with the lighting. Nice attempt though.
I didnt like this because chii is so small besides the backround isnt clear you cant make a difference of color and things on it......i think if you have put chii a little bit bigger it woul have been better

This is really creative. Very original. I like how you made Chii stand out among all that darkness. The only thing is the background doesn't seem to go with Chii very well but it is nice in it's own way. The text is good. Great work!

Stock photo can be found here. The brushes I used to merge the walls in the drawing and the ones I made in photoshop can be found here.
I hope that you like the wall as much as I do. Enjoy.
