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!

So, I think this has been my biggest project yet. At first I wanted it to be a forest wall, but I didn't like the look of it so I went for a city look, it didn't look very appealing so I went for a mountian look and it seemed horrendous, then I decided to combine all 3 backgrounds into one and viola, I love it ^_^ although I think any scon would look good on this backgroung I believe I made the right choice.
[Title] Erhelle Meine Seele is German for Illuminate my soul, I thought the title was fitting as it seems her soul is in the darkness yet there is so much light surroinding her.

Hmmm not diggin this... good theme and all,. but serious quality problems.
The scan is low quality and needs serious touch-ups and the extraction is pixelated. The building look too flat and don't blend. the text doesn't really blend.. just tlooks slapped on. Blending and Quality! work work!

Umm... not bad... but just like 5stringDNA say, the scan is in low quanlity, and the building and texture are not blending... so you need some improve here... but still a great wall, the colour is works well in the wall! :)

I don't like the buildings. And yes 5stringDNA is right, they look really flat. Also it's weird how they're that coloured while in front of them and behind them everything is just plain dark. If you wanna give a sense of depth you should give some colour and brightness to the elements that appear in front of the buildings as well while you still can keep the "mountains" that dark. Because otherwise it looks odd, I mean we have plain dark then WHAM coloured buildings from nowhere then dark again. The text is not bad, you can keep that kind of layout but I would change the font with one that has a more "dramatic" look, one with serifs and big case letters. Try that and see if it looks better. :)
You need to work on your:
extraction, cause you still see some white edges and jaggy lines.
the buildings, give them a midtone color so you can see the perspective, instead of a flat building.
the blending of your scan in to the bg. now just looks like pasted in, so you need to fix the edges and stuff.
the font...it isn't matching well with the background. also...this font is annoying.
the idea and the sky looks good. just need tow fix these stuff. good luck ;D

I'd say the biggest problem with this wallpaper is the quality of the character. It needs a lot of cleaning as it is. You should never submit a wallpaper where the character is in such terrible shape as this, yet you do it a lot with your wallpapers. Too much Smart Blur maybe?
The moon's look bad with all of the Median filter on them, also. The text should probably be something more fitting, color wise. And finally, the buildings are too flat... it seems like all you can see is the gradient windows of them, which shouldn't be the case. They are just squares on top of big squares. :/
Well, I think the effects came out pretty good. I've also never seen that pic before (fanart? lol) it's cool though, it's still a pretty good, dark, background.
The colours are nice..but it's true, the building do look flat and don't fit in....it looks alright as a thumbnail, but then when it's larger, you can really tell the diff..
the wallpaper still looks nice though, just need to touch up a bit ^_~

Wow, for a big project I must say you did pretty well. You went above and beyond! Lol. It's good. Lol, very wise and creative to combine all the three. It looks excellent. Lol, yepp, you have indeed made the right choice. Bravo, bravo! Lol. Overall the wallpaper is woahh. Lol. In a good way of course [: I love the title you chose! It matches the picture quite well. I'd rate you a 12 / 10! Lol. Wow, 46 layers? That's alotta layers, lol. Hmmm. I never listened to it before. But I will try to when I get the chance.
