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'll start off with stats. Hopefully those who know me will recognize this grunge-abstract style of walling. The background is made from brushes with the addition of some lightning stock. I tried to have it all exude power and determination. The "rough" aspect of the wall represents struggle. 50 layers, about 5 hours total.
This wall has a lot of meaning for me. Starting next year, I'll be a first grade teacher. The decision to go into this field was based on a classroom experience I had through my university. Originally I was a Zoology major and went in to teach a lesson on Peregrine Falcons. It was a lot of fun for me and the kids loved it and continually asked if I would return. Yes, I told them, hopefully one day, and perhaps with more animals and a field trip to boot! Well, I returned, but this time as a teacher. I'm a 21 year old male. Men in elementary classrooms is at an all-time low. The fear of being labeled a pedophile and the pursuit of "bread-winner" status is the culprit. This places a powerful restraint on the potential of school systems worldwide. I'm fighting against these social stigmas because I love what I'm doing. The internal rewards far exceed any monetary payments I could receive.
I also love Gurren Lagann. It's an amazing series and the struggle the characters go through and their personal devotion to their cause is beyond words. So, this is a dedication to their struggle as well as mine. Raise your glasses to teachers and wish me luck in my journey ahead.

Great wall. The atmosphere, symbolism... all fits nicely with the grunge. This image of Simon and Kamina is great as well and is a perfect scan to use to portray the determination theme you presented. Good luck in your new job and future. Fight the powah! *raise glass*
Your title for it made me think at first of the country song lyrics, "And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing, 'whiskey for my men, beer for my horses...'", which actually fits the theme of Gurren Lagann somewhat too, lol.
But yeah, absolute best wishes with your teaching career, and good luck!
Cool wallpaper.
good work!

awesome work here
Good work you two and keep it up!
Anyway Really nice wallpaper.

Great wall!

great job overall especially on background
Overall it is a brilliant wallpaper.
Nice concept of the wall, the scan is nice and extracted well
Wow this is such an outstanding wallpaper. The style is very intriguing and two boys are very detailed. This wallpaper leaves me speechless so I'll just say this, awesome work and I'll add this to my favs.
Just as Kamina was a mentor to Simon, so too will you be a teacher to the youth of the world!
Beautiful imagery, and excellent work on the wall. The story and reasoning behind it make it that much better.
I freaking love your grungy abstract style T _T This wall looks terrific!
Also, mad props on your decision to become a teacher. There definitely needs to be more good teachers in the world and I think you'll be a really great one ;D And seriously, the influence that you have over your students will be tremendous. I still remember some of my favorite grade-school teachers and I can definitely say that they've played a big part in shaping who I've become. Congrats on having discovered/decided your calling! I'm still trying to figure mine out so I have tremendous respect for people who discover theirs ; -;
Amazing wall. I always admit grunge and black-white arts, maybe cause I'm pretty weak with them ;3 And TTGL is always a good choice to being walled.
And also I admit your decision to work as a teacher. I'm sure that you will do great. Who creates such good walls, must be a wonderful person. Lucky who will got your student ;3

A teacher who loves anime, now I wish I could be in that 1st grade class, haha.
Anyway, I love Gurren Lagann, it was one of the few sorta-mecha animes I enjoyed and I really love this wall.
The grunge aspect and the poses just makes it so cool, and it earns a well deserved spot on my desktop and a fav. o/ < 3
