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!
Well, first off, this wallpaper was created for Round II of Gideon's Pool Party. The word I was trying represent is "Beauty," and I think I did a pretty good job of doing that, even though what I have isn't exactly the most original concept ever.
Onto the process. I started off with this Suion scan that I found over at Anime Project Alliance (thank you Nuriko. Oh, and that is also a shrunk down version of it, I used the high resolution one to outline the city.) Then my wallpaper looked like this after I painted and vectored and threw it all together. That was just kind of ugly, though, so, I knew I had to switch it up. I then filled in the bottom part of the wallpaper, and still knew that I needed a new character to replace the shape of the girl. So I found this nifty I'll Generation Basketball scan, by the artist Hiroyuki Asada, and it worked perfectly for what I had in mind. The challenge required that I added a pattern to the wallpaper, which was a real pain trying to find something to work well with it. I didn't upload the pattern version here, because I like the simplicity of the one without it, but here it is for anyone who is interested. No smaller resolutions of that because I really don't care enough.
Haha, award for the crappiest description of a wallpaper ever goes to me. Oh well, I guess.
The title is completely inspired by the song "Adam Lives In Theory" by Lauryn Hill. It's such an amazing song, I seriously recommend not only checking out the song, but the entire MTV Unplugged album that it is on. It's so honest and full of emotion. :/ It's beyond just music. I can't explain it. I can only urge you to go and become obsessed with her music like I am. Here is a link to another song by her on the same album that I love just as much: http://youtube.com/watch?v=EyOhUXsGqak

Damn, this is the longest description I have ever written, I think. Before I'm finished, though, I want to let you all know that I posted a new Journal entry with some of my older wallpapers that I am proud of. Go check it out if you have some free time.
EDIT: Oh! Happy birthday aplastictree. I would dedicate this to you, but I would be lying if I said my original intent was to make this for you. I hope you have a good one, though. Actually, I find dedicating wallpapers to people in the first place to be completely ridiculous. It's like saying, "Hey, if you don't like this wallpaper, you're an asshole! Alright, have a good day!" Haha, like, why put someone on the spot like that? Whatever.
EDIT 2: I forgot to thank Gideon and w00tazn for their help. Seriously, thank you guys.
I like the wallpaper becausei t gives me strange feelind,and I like strange feelings(I'm weierd)
afer all I like the color orange and red which are warm colors and the the colors blue and black which are cold colors!
I like the background but I think there is no background...
Nice wallpaper

Eh D: Frankly and blatantly blatantly honestly speaking, your walls have .. not ... impressed me as of late : / This is a lot better, but I still have a few complaints Dx so excuse my nit-picky-ness (you can bitch to me later whenever you catch me on IRC if you wish >.>;;;) ~
Like I said, overall, this wall is not bad in the least. The sunset is pretty, and the colours are beautiful, especially is such stark contrast - the warm coloured sky antithesis to the cool coloured silhouettes. Hm, twas quite a nice touch ~ the lighter blotches of colour closer to the horizon where the sun would usually provide a glare (at least that's what I'm assuming the intent was : s).
The original scan you chose was smexy < 3 although Brom ~ Hrm : s I know it would have taken away from the authenticity of your finished piece, but I think the wall would've came out better if the bottom half of the wall looked more like the original image you worked off of than you just painting in the entire thing one colour. Although although ~!the separation is quite quaint and makes the wall look more complete. The only reason I'd prefer otherwise is because by painting the entire bottom half in, it looks a bit.. awkward[?] like the character is just standing on top of a ... house or something instead of being able to tell that the silhouette of the trees/buildings/townscape is actually above the horizon line.
: sss I kind of like the girl better than the later scan you chose to use as the character >.>;; I don't know.. it might just be me D: but the style of the background and the character you later chose seem to clash a bit : ((( but but but like I said DDD: it's probably just me ~
Naw, this is pretty good : x You know I love your work, Brom :3 and I'm a fan. (I'll keep watching you until you come out with something better >.> : x) but hey : D I... should drop by IRC more and say hi to you before school starts .. again ... ;___; Dx

Very Nice! At first glance the wall seems simple, but with further inspection various complexities appear- a nice picture for the more simple of heart and a more in-depth view for the more intricate. A good wall for all minds ^.^
Brom, your wallpapers are always pure love for me! < 3
I adore the color scheme, yellow-purple combo is always cool and there aren't many walls with those colors.
The idea is absolutely fantastic :')
Just beautiful.

I like what you did with it, it looks soo much better without the huge pattern eating up the wall.
Looks nice.
Very simple, but the concept is strong.
I like the soft painting.
Good job!
