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!
Adobe Suite: $700. Junk food eaten while designing: $57. Hours spent working on a design when you could have been working: $350 dollars. The 10 minutes for someone to tell you you suck: Priceless
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.
Okie ... lol yeah my first wallpaper submitted here. I submitted this before to MT, i guess i should here too =]
ok, about this wallie:
time: about 2 hours a day for 4 days
Scan used: found here on minitokyo~
Brushes: DeviantArt - teh cloud brushes
this is my first wallpaper with actual water. so yeah i'm expecting critisims about that. I also made the talisman by trying out a few shapes... yeah lol. i saw amny other wallpapers like this i wanted to try something different.. like she was creating something . [reason for talisman, lol] but i don't think it turned out thae way i planned. But i like the color scheme of the wallpaper and the way Sbaer looks! yay!
It's so pretty! XD I love the sky and the clouds!
The water looks a bit weird though...it really doesn't look like water. But that's okay.
Love the blue! Lolz. Adding to my favs!
This is really awesome, blue fits perfectly with the wall.
the stock photo looks quite good with the char
im not sure if thats water you have there but seeing theres clouds it must be water?
anyway i dosent really bother me, overall an excellent wall +fav
and gratz on your first wall here at AP ^_^

Blue really goes with the awesome character that is Saber. Like the scan u've used and the faded-away thingy gives this sort of mystical feel to it.
Like the clouds but i'm not sure i like the water. I doesn't look all that realistic and it's also misty lookin...almost like it's reflecting the clouds. Whereas in real life, when you go to the beach and stuff, the clouds aren't reflected by the water.
BUT, congrats on your first wall. you did a great job overall.

Wow...it's just like magic!
the way the air and clouds blend into water with funny glowy things between them, gives the wall the right mood
the char is a bit weird though... the glow around it makes it look to much pasted in it
but i like the font of the title very much!!
keep this up, and you'll really get the hang off it!!

It looks very real! I love it so much! The clouds are so real and the special effects arround the character are amazing! You did a wonderfull job! Keep it up!
Hey for your first wall this isnt bad at all! I love the brush effects here! the swirls and the little sparkles are a nice touch and the sky is beautiful! I like the simple water effect and I like the talisman at the bottom of saber. Nice blending and good choice of font! Good job! Hope to see more great walls from you! FAvorites!

The sky and the cloud are nicely done. The littel shinning stars are nice too. However, your water does not seem really good, in addition, I think that you could work more on the horizon line where the water and the sky meet...
But I think that it is a nice work for a first wallpaper !! So keep on the good work :)
Such as beautiful calming wallpaper *____* I like the swirlys going around her ^.^ They look nice and the clouds go nicely with the water, though the water might need a little more work XP Looks good though! Keep it up!
