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!

My entry for the crimson orchestra vs. the IIDWFP
we lost, but i know my army learned a hell of a lot, and thats my goal :3
i completely stepped out of my element on this one.
I'm a grunge whore, and i actually hate pop-art walls. The only ones i've ever liked are the ones by tate and gid...and it's not cause i'm their friends. They just don't whore circles, and that makes me happy :D
so, i started out doing pop-art to see if i could. and i found out i could, and i also was reminded of how much i hate it, so i said..."screw this" trashed it, and started sometihng new.
if anyone ever tells you to vector the skyline of manhattan, just kick them in the face. Take my word for it folks, it's time consuming and painful. Yes, that is part of the manhattan skyline, and yes, i did vector the whole thing.
I actually don't feel like talking about this wall seeing as i pretty much hate it and want it to burn in hell for all eternity (but not the scan, because the scan is just amazing)
the quote says..."maybe fly and fall are the same thing...they both begin with F and end on the ground" it's some lame ass quote my sleepy mind came up with that i stuck in there.
yeah, so i hate this wall, so any criticism you have i don't really care much, since i will never be opening this illustrator file again for all of eternity. even if the earth itself were to burst into flames if i didn't.
and if you hate the blur, too bad. because it's called depth perception. that and the wall was too busy without the blur. but if i hear enough complaining i'll upload the craptastic non blurred version for you all to scowl at as well.
(in case my bitching didn't hint it off, i reeeeeaaaaaally hate this wall)
oh, and have a nice day
YAY.A very well made wallpaper indeed.First the vector is amazing.Then the black and white composition of the wallpaper goes perfectly with the wallpaper.The city looks great and the wispy clouds and marvellous.That text is nicely choosen and it goes so well with the background.An amazing wallpaper as i dont see any loss of quality anywhere.Its quality is as sharp as anything :)

I guess first, I'll address, in my opinion, the only negative: the text mars an otherwise perfectly designed wallpaper. I see it over and over again, a great wallpaper that, by all means, with just its visual merit, is able to stand on its own and carry whatever meaning the author had intended, but is marred by the presence of text. Being a visual medium, a wallpaper shouldn't need text, and very rarely do text complement rather than detract from the overall quality of a piece.
That aside, the simple grayscale cityscape with the grayscale girl works side by side quite nicely and gives a very 1950s era feel. The blimp is a nice touch =)
Ne~ That wall is simplistic. :D
I like it very much. Especially the quote. :3
Sounds well thought out for someone who came up
with it in a sleepy state. :o
hahahaha.
Great Job :D

Very nice paper.
