After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!
Finally, the first wall I ever try to submit.
It took me one week to finish it, I did it during my spare time after I studied for my exams.
Okay, about the wall. I thought about some ideas for making walls, then I got the inspiration after I saw Koi89 wall's collections.
There are some artwork that Koi made. Then I thought...
Why don't I make a manual sketch than scan it to computer?
So I did it. I color it using Photoshop. After that, I found out that I made many mistakes in my original sketch.
I fix on it manually, using Photoshop + mousse + Brush... It's really hard job for me.
I never know that I have to work with so many details, especially those white edges ( or grey pencil line ) and hairs.
The thin hairs, I made it manually using mousse and brushes or rectangular tools.
For the thick hairs, I made it with rectangular tools, and then using warp transform.
For the wires around her body and the butterflies, I'm using brushes from deviant art ( They're really great )
I made some foolish mistakes, so there are some parts that I have to fix more than one time.
But I love this wall ^^
I choose to use the red-black background because I think those two colors can represent
my personal opinion about how humans now ( the bad people ) :
Bad people, using their innocent face, they trapt others on the wires that they build around themselves.
People are hurting others for their own pleasure.
People can so easily kill others that they hate. Lives have no meaning at all.
Others are just tools that they have to use to reach their goals. They don't care how many people they should sacrifice,
or how many hearts they have hurt.
And I'm totally disagree with this type of humans.
Two butterfly above Enma's hand represent injustice ( one is small while the other is big ).
The red thread ( of course ) represent death and revenge / grudge.
The color of butterflies being trapped is black to represent that sometimes the victim can also be the doer.
Woow first!
i really like it...
i love jigoku shoujo and this wall captured me...lol
butterflies are so cool...
and the title red and black world (my favourite colors)

Nice work! although it looks a lil bit scary to me.. well that's what Jigoku Shoujo is all about isn't it?hehe
i like the butterfly pattern you use..it really fits her.. good! keep it up
Nice job. I did not like only her face - does not match with rest detail. BTW if peer into her eye, begins lung a dizziness. Heh, this is a magic wall :)
Woow first!

A fine blending of sorts. the scan doesnt seem that high-res, but what's captivating about the wall is it's unique style of incorporating visuals.
dunno what the barbed wire design is for but it's cool nonetheless.
and enma ai rules! nice wall there
those 2 comments basically capture everything i wanted to say, lol, so very nice wallpaper ^_^
The concept and all is quite nice, but... her hands seem so not like hers [the shape], and eyes too. You used very thin light brown instead black for lines and it's very unlike Jigoku Shoujo, since originals are made with a bit bolder black line. Also eyes are more pink than red...
I know i'm pointing small differences, still the art of JS is so characteristic and special that not many wallers are capable of catching this charm. And i regret it, since sole opening would make a lot of them.
I'm not a pro at Photoshop so i won't say anything about it being well made or not. Just the graphic impression.
I think you did a good job with the layering and the effects are creepy and look great. The barbed wire and butterflies thing is an awesome contrast. The subject is so blank and soulless looking, and the image has a great darkness.
If I had to suggest anything, it would be that you might add a texture in the BG, like a stock CG image in a very, very dark red (like elfe-noire's Jikogu paper from last month). Not to say yours isn't a great first paper, just making a suggestion to help you get a "AA" rating on the next one. Thanks for your hard work!
Congratulations!
The colors are well planned, and makes for a dark yet mysterious type of wall,
can't help but remember Fatal Frame when looking at this wall. It has that
Japanese-School-Girl-Gothic type thing going on in here, and I love the way
the butterflies are integrated into her colors.
Wonderfully done! Yet another inspiration to my future works!
He he, i always looks she eyes... and listen she say: "You are death...HO HO HO." Yes, this eyes are like a evil eyes... Ok, the wallpaper. I like. Shoujo wallpapers need a dark felling... and you got it! Thanks for sharing!
*gets shield before getting attacks from anyone* >_<
"What's so important in vectoring?" asked my mind ..
The butterflies .. umm .. in my opinion .. isn't a very great idea, I can sort of see a repetition .. I think that's me .. since I'm the only one saying this .. I think?
Anyways, it looks good! n__n Sketch is not that bad but not that great either, and you spent a week on it? I haven't even finish mine and it's been a month.. *lol* Well, no comparison, I just don't have the talent, at least not yet.
By the way, I don't really love this wallpaper, but I'm sure I'll be able to see more coming from you ^^
Last but not least, good luck and all the best! Congratz and looking forward to see more from you.

I always like the effect of red, black and white. However youve managed to make it look really good. At first the character blends into her surroundings but the butterfly effect on her hands and clotes makes her stand out and the eyes make her stand out as they are a different colour to the rets of the red. Love it. Excellent work
The background is interesting, the style, and the colors you used there are good, especially the butterflies'. The character doesn't look too charming, though, the black lines, and butterflies on her are very strange. Anyway, nice wallpaper.

I love the series, but GAH scary and not scary
in the way that it is suppose to be
Nice colors?? Nice composition but it freaks me out.

But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?' "

...but no vectoring? That disappointed me a bit...
Good layout, composition...technique not up to par with the rest of the wall, ja?
Excellent still for a first wall...just something like this probably deserves a vector.
Yay! Yuki! Great wall!
