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!
There are a lot of reasons to highlight this wall, in fact the list could probably go on forever. Right of the bat it is very obvious that both Kalico and Dhias put allot of time into this wall especially if you look at the original scan. With both Dhias superb smudging as well as Kalicoâ??s artistic knowledge and experience they are able to make this wall truly stand out and above the rest. The space within the wall has a great sense of depth, and the placement of everything is right on mark. All the while the wall keeps a realistic yet fantasy feel to it that makes you think for a moment that just maybe a place like this really exists. The wall also makes for a great example of teamwork, and in this case it makes for an absolutely beautiful wallpaper.
Lastly, I would like to say a special message to Kalico that I am sure we all would all agree with. Kalico, we will all miss you and all of your beautiful walls not to mention all of the time you put into AP that has made it the great place that it is today. I wish you the best of luck what ever the future may have in store for you.
Mmm...latin
so, today i present to you, a collab between me and dhias! between me and my new found compositional skills, and dhias' awesome smudging, and my other weird obsession with textures, we have for you a rahXephon wall.
A lot of work went into this one, but the thing about it i personally like the most is the amount of depth it has.
to start, we picked out a scan. dhias smudged and recolored all of ayato and quan, as wella s all the rocks around it, and then there was water added.
it came to me, where i textured, tweaked, and added foreground elements, like rocks and tree branches to fix the scale and add depth. added some light streaks and starte don the text.
back to dhias it went where the ligh went under some changes, as did the text a nd a few other minor issues.
back to me for some final tweaks and effects, text and signature.
now, here it is. the rahXephon wall we worked so hard on.
restricted color pallete, parallel composition, and prettyness.
we hope you enjoy it, because we worked really hard on it.
and for those of you who have left me nice PM's and little notes in my guestbook, thanks. i appreciate your kind words, and i'll miss you all very much.
stop by pixelated graffiti either this weekend or next for more resolutions as well as if you care at all abou tmy future walls.
I am definitly adding this one to my favs. I don't think there is anything to this wall that I don't like. The detail is amazing and everything fits nicely together. I really like the detail you guys put into the background...awesome! I'm sorry that I'm not able to do a more thorough comment. I don't make wallpapers so I'm not familiar with all the stuff you guys go through to make these great wallpapers. But through my untrained eyes it looks great! Keep up the good work you guys!
Wah...you're very good at scaring people T-T *Places your walls besides mine**nods* Yep, I am no competition T-T
Anyway, back to the wall. This is simply amazing, I must say this is more of a masterpiece rather than a wallpaper, because the term wallpaper seems to degrade it O.O The water seems a bit cut off (this is just a recommendation that'll probably not even work, so you can pretty much ignore it), the waterfalls seem so...flat X_x Adding some mist here and there probably won't be any harm, in fact, it'll probably add to the mystic feel O_o Other than that, this piece of art can be easily described with one (long) word 'wow-uber-1337-beautiful-amazing-sexy-woah-incredible-superb-youpwnme-...' you get what I mean.
I must say dhias did an excellent job, too! Your smudging is godly *bows*
Anyway, I'm out. +fav^(u1/(1-r))

KALICO YOU OWN what else can I say T_T you and dhias did an awesome job I am so jealous of both of your skills. It makes me so happy just to be able to know you both ^^
Um for critiques I would have made the change from water to mountain a little less abrupt and um made it darker like the earlier versions xD Overall though this wall owns and we all know it ^^
The texturing in this made my jaw drop. Like I said to you earlier, when I first saw it, I wanted to glomp both you and dhias, but you always give me that weird look... so yeah. Just jokes. =/
Anyways, I'm liking how the characters are made to look like they blend with the rock. What REALLY caught my eye is the water. The water looks very real. Another thing I noticed is the use of distance. The rocks and tree branches in the bottom appear closer than everything else in the wall. Made me go "damn." I don't think I've seen too many walls using this kind of technique so my hats off to you two.
This is quite beautiful. Scary and interesting, sparks the download for RahXephon...
The thumbnail was capturing and the wallpaper is just breathless. I love the texture and the background...
Damn I wish I had smuding skills. *also bows to dhias* I don't think there's anything to change in this wallpaper. And I totally agree with highknees' one long word.
+fav of course. Best RahXephon Art I've ever seen in my life.
I see boobies! lol.. You filthy person kalico! The text doesn't do much for me, i think you coudl have done better eh. Otherwise, the wall looks really great and has a ncie feel to it.. at least for a kalico wall. passhhh.

Okay, when dhias showed me a sneak peak of this wallpaper this morning, my jaw dropped lower than floor. so low that it took a while for me to get it hooked back on and stop the drool from flowing out. XD okay, enough with the sugary crap. it's awesome and we all know it. you guys own!
p/s: just found out that you were leaving. i'll try to stop by pixelgraf more often to check up on your new walls and not to mention, we have a new family member don't we? *stares at dhias*
Zomg! awesome! AHH BOOBIES! Anyways, its very well done. It reminds me of one of those 18th century paintings XD. OH also, could someone translate those words? XD but YAY A RAHXEPHON WALL!
This is more of a 15 century painting rather than a anime wallpaper lol but I mean that in the best way possible, I think it's really artistic, getting away from all the traditional anime walls.
Everything look so real or just oil painting style, can't quite describe it, but the sun rays, texturing, water, scan, blending, it's truely a great piece, I guess there is a difference between playin artist and real artists lol.
Walls like this pain me cause I honestly get left with nothing to say than "WOW", this is just beautiful and of course it's the Mu's garden made perfectly except it's not by studio Bones. This is lovely work...(still nothing more I want to say other than "WOW"

Man.. You're a genius at walling I must say.. The colors, the mood, and the whole thing in the wallpaper looks great
What I don't like is the wall looks a bit grainy, but maybe that's just part of the wall's effect ;P
Meh love the rays of light, it looks like they're in a swamp or somekind O.o;; Love it~ Favorite!
