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!

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
You did a great job vectoring the Manhattan skyline, it almost looks real. I like that blimp in the background and the clouds swirling around her. Great job!
ah, the power of swirly swirly clouds! would have preferred some colour, but this'll do just fine. and you came up with the quote yourself? amazzzzzing!

Lol... I read your description on the image, (which is something I don't typically do, but since I happened to read it for your rahxephon collaboration, I decided to take a peak) and it made me laugh. I don't have much to say on this one except that "Whoosh" seems like the most appropriate title and that if anyone ever tells me to vector the skyline of manhattan, I will definitely kick them in the face, just for you. ^_~
Well when it comes to black & white wallpapers i'm not a big fan of it.
but when it comes to last exile i love it so much *____*
and i most say that you have a great works and talent to wallpapers ^^
keep the great work =3 +fav

I don't really like the text, either, but I do like the blur- it really makes the character and the clouds pop out. You shouldn't hate this, it's simply amazing.
Absolutely perfect clouds. Never seen better. Black & white is very cool, and it's a nice vector. The blobby gray horizon-things are kind of, um, blobby and gray, though. Unfortunately blobby & gray. The city-skyline idea isn't bad (though somewhat overplayed), but that's not the best execution. Great style & very fitting overall, though!
Wah! You're a pro at making grunge walls! And pop-art! >.< You did a great job vectoring the skyline and everything. How can you hate this wall? You're crazy! xD This wall is so awesome! O_O The scan, i agree, is amazing. And the quote is very unique.

Really cool, i personally would preferred seeing it coloured but it's great in black and white too.
The char blend really well giving the feeling she can walk on the clouds, the text too is really well blended +fav ^^
I don't usually care for this type of pop art either howvere much you hate it, it is really nice. I like the blur and I get this feeling of the 40's blk&wht with this one and just to piss you off more. HA HA I am adding it to my favorites.
Omg, PRETTYYYY O_O! lol. this wallpaper is amazing. the black and white is definately unique and gives it a nice touch. AND... even though i don't know range murata, FAV xD
