Well, with the battlegrounds going on, we've seen a lot of incredible walls. This is one of them, that heavily deserves a highlight. The theme was music, and the wallpaper needed to be inspired by it, and minstrelknight did an Impeccable job. Using the manga deathnote, to recreate the album cover of the famous Pink Floyd album "Wish You Were Here" was not only a great idea, but it was also executed beautifully. A stunning image, with plenty of icon space! What more could you ask for?
K, this was for the EVI vs TLM challenge, we lost. I don't agree with the judgement, but what can you do. Unlike the last challenge I think we did considerably better than the opposing army, needless to say..they did an awesome job as well..some :p . ANYWAY. The wall, for those ignoramuses (ITS NOT AN INSULT, BUT AN EXCUSE FOR NOT KNOWING SOMETHING! if I wanted to insult you guys I'd say "stupid" which isn't the word I need xD) who don't know what Im this artwork belongs to, its from a Pink Floyd (one of the greatest bands ever) album.
says, wikipedia, the Jesus of the web. If thats not a winning choice..I don't know what is. At first, I thought of using the OVA "Wish You Were Here" for the wall, since it had the image already in anime form, but I decided to be a bit more creative, so I went and dug up a death note scan. I vectored the first time Light and L share a handshake, and well...it was the perfect fit for the album cover, which I vectored as well. I own the actual vynil, so it was all pretty much supplied by teh Ish. xD I know the vector of the ubildings isn't good..but, iono..I couldn't make it better. =[ I suxxors.
At first, I wanted L to be on fire, since
SPOILER (click to view)
he dies in the series
and his posture was more fitting but...I realized Light would be more fitting, since he's smiling even though he's the devil incarnated...just like the man in the vynil cover. All textures from mayang and DA!
you all, go listen to "wish you were here", greatest song ever written, thank recently deceased Syd Barret for it.
sorry for the shitty description, but Im not in the mood to make an amusing one, I almost died on my way home from Jersey. NEVER EVER! ride in a car with a drunk female who was just dumped by her boyfriend! NEVER! XD
Great vector work and i like the graininess in it. I'm bothered by the white space cos of it's emptiness but since it's supposed to ressemble the album cover, i guess i can live it.
Oh and great job with replicating it to the cover, it's a great tribute to Pink Floyd.
I love this wall. You did a fantastic job on it, and I have no negative comments to make regarding it. Buildings, vectoring, coloring, I like it all. Great job!
On the contrary, I think the reduced-detail vector style worked out quite well, being able to capture the scene with much less. Excellent choice of characters to mimic the original cover, too. Great stuff!
I liked the concept of the wallpaper !
However, I think that the wallpaper is somehow too empty !!
Anyway, I liked the vectoring work !!
Keep up the nice work :)
Nice Job ish! the scan combo is ALL :D
the vectorin is smooth. love the thing at the right... burning . and most importantly. on my desktop. this picture just "POPS" from my desktop. you guys would've won.. maybe a weapon was called for. o well.
Every now and then there comes wallpapers that is really unique from the other, and this is one them. I really appreciate these wallpaper since it's really original and it really stands out from the other wallpapers. Really nice concept you've got here. Love the flames on Light, it looks really great. It's a perfect scene for the two eternal friends/enemies. It's simply a masterpiece.
Ack. Yet again we manage to pull slightly ahead via a weapon. ^^;
I really do adore this piece. It's thoughtfully done, and the scan is just too perfectly fit. When I first saw it, the white space kind of scared me a little...but after a bit more looking it seems to complement the wall in an eerie way.
Yeahyeah go wine about the fact that ya lost, to set things straigt: IT WAS A FREAKING TIE we won cous of our overruling EVI batleship BUWAHAHAHAHAHA anyhows as said i absolutely love this wall and even have it as current wallpaper. i just love pink floyd and so this composition and all. one of the best walls of the challenge i reccon. great job man and oohyesh VIVA EL EVI
Damn, this is just perfect.
i love it. i'm actually out of words, and i don't know what to write - the idea was excellent, and yeah, the song ...the song!!
see?i'm not in the mood to write anything smart, so i'll just say this wall rocks and it goes to favs NOW!
^^
Uwah~! This wallpaper is col ^.^ It's a shame about what happened to L :( The vectoring in the wallpaper is really nice, smooth ^^ Nice texture. I like the simpleness of the wall, and the colours blend well ;)

Why must you submit your walls after i go to sleep?! D:
anywho. I like it, but i think i've already said that, so there's one thing i will say: i wish the part where it burns away at the white was a bit bigger :D
Nice, one of my favorite songs, a damn good wallpaper you choose to do, although the perspective on the buildings is a little off, all in all a job well done
