What Exactly Is Pink? by °dalarty 1 week 5 days ago

^nat

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!

Well, I'm not really sure where this came from. After a ton of working, re-working, and re-re-working, I've finally gotten this. I was thinking of the FMA movie while working. If you've seen the movie, you'll notice a difference in colors between the two worlds- Ed's world is bright and colorful, while the other is dull. I really wanted to emphasize that, and bring out Ed's expression.

The BG is entirely made of textures from mayang's gallery (Except the lamppost), all skewed and sized to fit perspective. In order to make sure things looked right, I made a rough 3-d model and used a screenshot as a reference. This was one big headache... but I think it's worth it. A big thanks to blu3angl and shiningdays for giving me feedback!

Its much better than before, and I know the effect you were going for since I've seen the movie, but..I still don't dig the color/black and white. =\ I've never really seen any walls that pulled off this trick succesfully, and while yours is damn good, its just not down my alley.

Nice alley, nice use of textures. I didn't see the movie, so no. I don't really understand your use of colors.
But I don't dig the dull grey background with a sudden colorful and vibrant Ed. It just doesn't blend.
Other than that. Good job.

A nice wallpaper though I wonder why the character would glow given the background is quite mono as in grey & white. Nevertheless I like the background

Oooh I like the idea you went for, I've seen the movie before (it was pretty good ^^) and yeah you can tell that the colours are fairly different in each world ^^ It looks almost like as if Edward is isolated in this wall =P Coz he's the only thing which is in colour. Nice idea ;D

Nice job with the textures ^^ I'd be a bit curious to see what this'd look like all black and white, but regardless, it looks nice right now ^^

The alley 3D-ness looks cool and the texturing as well. If everything was constructed from scratch then you've done tremendous job. Love the backwall and the lamp post.
Not sure about the glowing Ed - haven't seen the movie..
I'd say his shoes and bottom of his pants could be blended better with the bg though, atm the difference of colours look rather too contrasty and perhaps lacking shadows on the floor.
Building a believable world from scratch is not easy and I think you've done a pretty good job overall :)

It is a wallpaper with atmosphere very much. Edward who pauses in the seen mysterious space looks away the reality like the back of the alley and the building, etc.

I really like the 3d concept of the alley and the background. It really brings into life. And yea... the concept of the movie is pretty obvious in this wall. And Ed really looks sad... nice walL!

Wai I think you did great with this wall! I see that maybe the glow around him was to separate him with the rest of the world. personally, i don't see anything wrong with the idea of a colored person in the mist of black and white town.
Great JOB!

HM... I like that CG-background. It looks like a real photography. Edward's "light" effect in the wall looks very smooth and nice. Edward looks a bit blurry compared with the rest of the pic, but the picture overall looks great.

I've just started seeing Full Metal Alchemist, and I wanted to get a good wallpaper of it. Yours was chosen :) Congrats, dude! And pretty nice job!

However is a very beautiful wallpaper :D +favs

Ohhh, nice wallpaper, especially the background

seem to get mixed with the background although
overall its very nice and attractive,

good job...
