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.

Why hello there AP!
Okay, I know the title is really cheesy (you know that band, guns n' roses, HAHAHAHAHA *shot*) but I thought it fit.
So! Here we have the main cast of characters in Ouran High School Host Club. If you want to see the original version of this wall, that's here. Pretty bad, huh? So I went to Session Zero and over the course of 2 months or so, I came to this.
Most of the time I put into this wall was into the roses around the sides (I vectored those from anime screenshots, roses are a major theme in this show) and extracting/cleaning up the scan. While I did extract and clean it in the first revision, throughout the Session Zero topic I had, people kept noticing spots here and there, as well as these horizontal lines going across the scan which I hadn't noticed at first and I really had to work to get rid of them. >_o I'm quite proud of the final version, though :3
Major props to all my peeps at Session Zero, especially ~LadySaotome and θblu3angl, who gave me helpful comments multiple times and played a big role in making this wall what it is.
When I first added the background, both the wall and the floor were red. Since, I took out some of the things that gave it that red shade, but I tried to replicate it for the sake of options. Hence the bit at the top of this description.
I also recieved comments that the 1024x768 one is hecka ugly, so I put other versions at the top of this description also. Don't ever say Mumpo doesn't service the AP people >:]

Nice background !! I like the roses :) I prefer the red background !!
I've seen your initial wallpaper !! That's a lot of improvement !!
I liked the scan you used !!
Keep up the good work !!
Wow, really big improvements from your previous wallpaper! That's the spirit not to give up right ;D Like how you've portrayed the wallpaper and the layout is pretty cool. I got to love that shadow of the scan though XD
Goody... You've worked very hard on this one.. I saw its improvements in SZ... Glad you could fix that lines in the scan!!
I like more this one than the red version... but they all look pretty...
Nice work, keep up with it :)

I love the vector of the roses. Its rich in colour and its well produced. The bg looks simple but very nice. Great usage of textures. What this wall really catch my attention is you putting a white shade over the bg but not over the scan. It makes me focus more on the scan while the bg is not interrupting me.
Excellent. 2 months of work done well

By the time i saw this in session zero you were like done and I thought wahhh so cute! i had a silly fangirl moment. Really fitting to the cute atmosphere of Ouran Host Club plus it's just plain pretty, nice job and congrats~
I definitely like this better than the red version. Pastels suit the hosts so well. A little tired of seeing huge roses following the Host Club wherever they go, but I suppose it's inevitable. Nice job!
It might look different in the largest size, but for my resolution 1024x768, the wall looks quickly resized. The line around the characters looked squished making the characters look strange.
I do like the simple roses and background used for the wallpaper though.
Wow I really like this one. The whole club and it is nicely done. Keep up the good work. My favorite character is haruhi. The whole club loves her. They all look really cute. This is awesome. I like the background and the shadow you gave the host members. The roses in the front looks really good too.
This wall is so nice~ i think the way it looks is quite different and very nice hehe
i love the show so i was instantly drawn to this wall and its so good favorite and my desktop thank you ^^
I gotta love this wallpaper. The background is just plain and nice. Everything there just suited the background. Plus, the vector is nice as well. Gonna add it as my favorite^^
