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!
My first wallpaper ever dedicated to Gundam 00. The concept of it is simple, but hopefully effective. I wanted to portray Gundam 00 in a more serene way that brought the series justice and to make the environment both beautiful and calm to show that Gundam 00, as warlike as it is, has its own peaceful moments thus having more meaning than just depicting Gundam battles, interventions, and the like.
Its not thaat baad. but its not great, barely good imo
contrast is too high in the bg. on the whole it looks like an official wall, that the image editor for the company producing Gundam 00, did in like 5mins.
Further more, coincidently, the first two comments are both by new members, both who registered unnaturally coincidently within a roughly 10minute time-span. Both comments were made within exactly a 10min time span, and seem very generic.
Not pointing fingers, but it just seems a little too coincidental to me.
in necase, not bad, but i personally wouldnt use it as a desktop

Another wallpaper I can't believe is in the gallery...
First off, the blending of scans/stock images is pretty bad. The cliffs/rocks are too realistic for the anime styled art, and the way you have random little objects filling up empty spaces on this wallpaper is a bit too obvious. Why the sky stops in the middle of the wallpaper on top there, I have no idea.
The worse is probably the way you blend darker backgrounds of original scans/images to other images. The Gundam 00 logo is the prime example. Did you crop it out of a scan and not even bother to attempt to extract it? Blending the bar so roughly across like that is...
Thank you all for your criticism. Yes, my intention was to make it look as official as possible and though the Exia scan was extracted, the background is not from any scan or stock image whatsoever. So, I that as a complement to my blending.
Based on reading your comments, I am pleased to know that I have achieved the effect of making it look like an official wallpaper as was my intention.
Regarding other comments, I appreciate them very much as it will help me improve in my future wallpapers. Rest assured, I make a wide variety so, official types won't be the only ones you see. ^_^
Well, it's his first wall, so we can let him off for this one time? =/
The contrasting of colors is too artificial in my opinion, and the logo is poor quality. I usually don't make scenic walls, because i suck with stocks and layer blending to create a sufficient background, but since you attempted it, nice.
There are some flaws situating in this wall, but I can see the effort you have implemented, so in the end, as long as you enjoyed making this wall, and made it with effort, it's a job well done.
There ain't many Gundam 00 wallies out there, so I applaud you. ^^
Overall, it's a good attempt, and I hope you can take all the advice and constructive criticism and utilize them in your second wall. ^^
Way too much clutter. I know what you were going for..but it just seems far too cluttered. I wouldn't advertise for your site with the wallpaper. If you'd want to advertise, you could always make a banner. It's not half bad for a first time wall, but definite could of used more work before being submitted. After all, that's what AP has Session Zero for =3
Ok, thats just subtle, Frost is the username of the waller right, the 3rd commenter uses the username Kimitaso, saying "Awesome wallpaper. I love the texture and the background. Looks majestic!"
then after a series of comments and criticism, Kimitaso says "Thank you all for your criticism.

Not something another user would say about another wall.
meaning most likely a comment on their own wall, saying something positive and generic and most of all, bias
which is kinda sad and im sure isnt something thats encouraged at AP.

Well, I'm not going to comment on the comment issues as Nakanishi has covered that. But I agree with him.
What I will offer is my (inexpert) opinion on the wallpaper itself. There're some elements I like, but what strikes me is clutter. There's too much stuff. What I would recommend would be to remove the 'Celestial Being' thing in the top left corner which, as others have said, looks ugly. I would also suggest removing the Ptolomaios and the Kyrios which are nearby. They distract the eye from what should be the main focus of the image - Exia. In fact, I'd be tempted to strip out the larger Gundam 00 logo too.
But, for a first effort, it's not terrible. I'm really no expert, so please take this as constructive criticism rather than an attack on the wallpaper. There is a sense of calm or peace which is your stated aim, so well done for that.
Very well made Gundam 00 wallpaper! I like so much the effects for the background taht you've realized and the workd arount the phrase "Celestial Being"! The work on the mecha is amazing too!

The only regret is that the resolution is too low; it should have been better a litle bit higher.
Good work.
