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!
I can't help but love the artwork for Claymore, the more I read it the more I really begin to dig the amazing amount of detail that goes into every panel. It's really mindblowing how much work goes into each page...
Anyway, I found this really incredible scan of the first volume cover of Claymore here on AP, and inspiration hit me right away. I went for a pure scenic look for this one, with Claire entering some sunset drenched ruins in order to exterminate some evil. The hardest part was getting the depth right on everything, particularly the pillar in the foreground and the archway in the distance. The color scheme was surprisingly easy, especially considering it turned out to be the primary feature for the wall.
Big thanks to Kalico for all her help on this one!
A very good background with excellent light effects and a very good character : Claire ^_^
May be putting the rear monument elsewhere, like behind claire ?
Very good work.
I don't care for claymore, but I do admit I really do like the detail they put into the images. Thats one reason I was so drawn to X the first time i saw/read it. But then again, X is awesome in all aspects.
As for the wall, color-wise this is definitely one of your best. I hope kuler has been a huge help with that :3
Anyways, i like the whole wall. Only one thing that I didn't really notice before is the chips in the columns. Maybe they should have been a bit more pronounced because when i first noticed them just a minute ago, I thought they were a bad extraction error.
Other than that I think it came out great. I know I was a hard-ass with this one, but stuff like this can be tough to pull off.
Since it's only the columns I have a problem with, adding this to my favs.
I'm a big fan of all of your walls. I knew this was yours before I even clicked on it! I love the warm color scheme and the way you got the arch and the clouds to come out. I do agree with Kalico about the rough edges of the pillars. Maybe even some cracks running from the chips would help emphasize them? Also, I would have corrected the outline around her head a bit after extracting it, but that's a nit-picky detail. Very nice wall!
The scenery looks great for the wallpaper! I also like how you managed to make the title bold yet still quite fitting for the wallpaper.
I like the artwork for Claymore as well. It still looks nice in your wallpaper, but I don't feel that the pose gives everything else you did justice. It doesn't seem to fit well in my point of view.
I LOVE Claymore!! your Wall is AwSoMe
i like the color scheme, it's very warm & full of hope.. The scan is absolutely amazing & the background is Incredible...
Keep up the good work ^_^

I must say, I've been looking forward to seeing some good Claymore wallpapers and this one is excellent. Great lighting, color scheme, and blending of the character. I also like what you did with Clare's symbol in the text. I do believe however, that the archway in the distance is a bit too blurred out.. especially in perspective with the clouds overhead. The columns as well appear to be a bit too sharp.. perhaps you should have made it a bit more grainy to give it the feel of concrete chipping away. Also, I think it would have greatly added to the wall if not only the sides were chipped away. Still... I think it's a great wall. It certainly deserves a fave...
Gorgeous wall. I think this is the best use of that scan.The colours are perfect. :)
I agree with the others about the column, at first I was like Ew what is that pig pixelly thing, and then I realised those were cracks. ^^; There is also something about the edges of her that stand out a bit but I can't put my finger on it so maybe I'm just weird. ^^; I think it might be how some places there is an outline and other places there isn't. And the outline on the top of her head could be fixed a bit. Maybe I am nitpicking.
Great job with the text too, love the y. :D
The background is looking good, though it looks a bit blurry. The left pillar also feels in the way somehow. The character placed more inside, or the pillar somewhere else would look better. The character is looking good, she fits to the background well. Nice wallpaper.
Gorgeous lighting and colors! I love the texture you used. I don't think the chips in the pillars are a big deal because they're pretty realistic, but there's one chunk on the right of the left pillar next to the text that looks too square to be a chip. Awesome work on the text though ;D Adding this to my faves :)

Gotta love Claymore though. Beautiful wallpaper.

The Manga sounds interesting, and thanks for recommending it, I think I may like it :)
One request though: could you please make a 1280 x 800 res. version? You included all widescreen res. except this one. If it isn't too much trouble.
i like the color scheme, it's very warm & full of hope.. The scan is absolutely amazing & the background is Incredible...
