This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.
While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.
The reason why is if I make the thread, one of the other threads wont be on the main page. Only 10 can be there. The only unneeded thread was the freelancer thread. Besides, Eternal isn't a house. only a title.
tadaa! its a new revision of my vividless cho (the sepia style with a blurred butterfly)... have I overdone it?
I'm always open for criticisms and suggestions...
First off, you need to work on the color scheme. I would say that the colors are in a state of emergency they are that bad right now. I understand the concept of the butterfly illuminating color onto the character, but having the color-less, light-lacking character be a mis of white and bashe is completely dull and unimaginative. If I want to stare at something white and bashe, I'll look at the plastered walls in my living room. Maybe having the character be dark, while having the butterfly illuminate, I don't know, the prism of natural light? That could work. Second, make the butterfly clear. It's blurred, and no one wants to stand at pixles that are fighting to the death or their desktop. I'm not looking at Varrhis Valaho, I'm looking at my computer, so make the picture clear. Third, you could have picked a hell of a better anime to do a wall for than Naruto, so if you want to make yourself known, then you need to do something different. Flooding an already saturated field of wallpapers in Naruto won't work unless you really hit the nail on the head, but since it's already driven into the wall, if you hit it again you might bring down the whole stub. Fourth, you need to either a) get rid of the watermarked name or b) make it a different color and semi-transparent in nature. People who download the wallpaper because they like the character, will obviously know who it is, so there's no real need to make a blurry, typed-in-word-then-added-shade-underneath-the-characters character name. Fifth, make the background more noticeable. If the character is not supposed to be colored or 'vivid' that does not mean the ground he stands on and surrounds has to be either. The was it looks now it looks like he happens to be floating in mid-air on a non-cloudy day where the sun just set over the hill in the distance. Your wallpaper in conclusion is in emergency state. It's lost its fingers and needs them surgically reattached in a few hours if it hopes to actually be able to grip things further in its lifetime. Point is, this wallpaper needs work, badly. I would suggest either a color scheme change, and a reworking of the main art and design, or to completely go back to a blank page on the drawing board.
Damn Spudsy2061 you are crazy, you should be a little considerate, first of all, he or she (i bet is a he since he has a Rock Lee avatar), is making his first wall, and as you don't know since you haven't done one, making a wall for the first time, is difficult, may be you should try it i bet you'll do worse lol. You see, to make comments like the one you just did, you should have some thing to prove you have even a little of idea of how to do a wall, and since you don't even have an avatar, nor a wall, you should not make comments like those ones.
now with the wall, jigoku-nin is it your wall??, i bet it is since it lacks of some things you should take into serious consideration. though you should add your signature, read the FAQ, that's very important.
first, the scan is blurred, both chouji and the butterfly, i understand you tried to do the butterfly that way, but it stress some people to have something that blurred in their computers, you should vector the whole thing, that would be very nice.
second, the Background (BG), i think you should add something more interesting, may be a forest, or some houses from konoha, i don't know, try to be creative.
as i see i think you took a screenshot from some episode and try to do a wall with it, well a screenshot is not a wall, and will seriously not be accepted into the galleries, but if you take the scan (image of chouji and the butterfly), and you do something creative with the BG, that would be nice, it doesn't have to be something very elaborated, just something creative.
and last but not least naruto is an awesome anime, and there are not many walls of chouji, i think this one would be very nice when is finished, good luck. XD.
My apologies! I was really a troublesome newbie of all times...
No problem,
I'll work with it...
I accept everything's screwed up...So I assumed to submit it in session zero (was that even a good idea?) ^_^'
About my signature, oh really my utmost apologies...
^_^
XD
Lol you don't have to apologise for that, i mean its your first wall, and yeah it was an excellent idea to post it on SZ, that way everyone can help you and tell you what to do, keep the good work, hope to see this wall finished, don't forget to read the FAQ lol.
but having the color-less, light-lacking character be a mis of white and bashe is completely dull and unimaginative.
i disagree with this.
having one colored object in a b/w pic is a common technique, and it works fine. the problem with yours is the b/w is not true b/w. it's old film color, which has a yellow tint. to make the pic work all the solor has to be completely removed from the bg, so it's truly b/w. but the whole thing needs vectored. it's rather blurry. you can have the butterfly slightly blurry or the character slightly blurry, but not both. my suggestion, if you want the focused effect would be to keep the focus where the focal point is, the butterfly. but for this wall, clarity would just work better. so vector the whole thing. then, make the butterflies coloring realty vibrant. also, make the bg slightly darker, so it's not awash of white when all color is removed.
what you want in the end is a really crisp, really clean b/w bg, with a really luminescent butterfly in the foreground.
I don't see too many Chouji walls so props to you for that.
I have to agree that the scan of Chouji is a bit blury, so if you could either vecotr it or find a higher quailty image of Chouji, that would help. I like the butterfly having color, but try to make it less blurry as well.
I would also make Chouji b&w so that the color of the butterfly stands out more.
Hey, I'm still working on getting a first wall submitted so don't get discouraged. Do your best and over time your PS skills will improve.
Keep up the good work and let me know when you revise this wall.
Don't forget to add your own signature (sig) to the wall.
As for the text of Chouji's name, it does not bother me, though it's a bit tiny in comparision to the rest of the wall.
Very honest title it is not clear for that butterfly
you made Chouji halucinate sorry it's a NO
THIS IS VERY INSULTING FOR WALLPAPER IT SHOULD BE CLEAR
Please Remember: |
* Colors are always necessary, colorless art is nearly nothing...
* Effects makes it look impressive, it removes the simplicity of art...
* The Character in the art is the most important thing...
* The Character gives the emotion to the theme of the wallpaper...
* Please Choose Wisely...
* Please Don't Over Do It...

I must also say that we are low on Chouji walls.
The quality of the wall is low,need to be more shapper and better colors. As was sugested don't forget your signature...is a requirement here.
Btw don't take the critiques on your heart, everbody beginned once and you just learn with the first flaws.
Good luck.
