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!
ORIGINAL IMAGE (yes it started out that bad lol) ORIGINAL IMAGE
Yes I know its raining in the original picture but frankly......I have no clue how to re-do rain so I just went with fire instead.
There was a story that went with this when I first started but to tell you the truth I can't remember what it was so you can make up your own story. Cloud watching Neibleheim burning to the ground perhaps....idk. I did put a lot of effort into trying to repaint and vector (or whatever its called) the entire wall. I do admit to using the smudge tool a couple of times, I know I know BAD ME.
This wallpaper has been sitting on my computer for about a two years now. Just never felt like finishing it I guess, it was a little daunting. I thought it would be pretty simple and then I got to working on his hair. I about pulled my own hair out...it turned out that I had to do little pieces instead of just basic shapes. I think it turned out ok. Hope you like it.
P.S. : I kinda got a little lazy when I was finishing it because I just wanted to be done with it so sorry if its a lil sloppy in some areas. :(

I think this is a spectacular redo of a scan. Cloud looks amazing I'm truly impressed that such a poor quality was revised into this, the eyes are so emotional and you made the body look so clean cut and lean. Bringing out such a dirty looking image can't be easy and while still keeping it's original depth and form is every more of a challenge so I can really respect the work you put into this. The resolution is the deal breaker tho it needs to be bigger so you can see the great work you did. Over all this is extremely well done and even without the rain you keep the emotion and perspective of his pain and angst which is what makes this so great. A+ and a fav :) Oh and I like that you listed your inspirational music it's always a pleasure for me to see what inspires an artist.
What's wrong with the smudge tool? I use it all the time to refine brush strokes...so I see no shame in using it.
Anyway, I think this was a great project, and I'm glad you finished it, because it's unique (never seen that image before) and expressive. I just think that it could be sharper (mainly the face and eyes) if you worked on it some more though, since it's kinda blurry.
I agree with Nysha..
You had a very nice idea to do this.. and i think you managed it pretty well...
the wallpaper only lacks some details sharping the face and eyes, if you had worked on it some more this would be pretty good and outstanding.
good work ;]

Haha, I love this wallpaper for several reasons:
a) It's Cloud
b) ZOMG ITS CLOUD
c) KURAUDooooooAHHHHHHHH < 3
The reso's too small for my monitor but this is great work and you should be proud of yourself. : 3 you kept his looks too, which is awesome.
If there's a couple of things I would get really picky about are the hair and the shading. The hair looks a tad too thick and chunky and the shading could have more detail. i.e. his mouth.
But it's better than anything I can do so I'll just

P.S. I love you cuz you used the word "smudge" ^^ Looking forward to moar FF wallpapers from you ~~~

Kyaaaa!!! *enters crazy fangirl mode*
It's Cloud! My bishie love! < 3 < 3 < 3
Wow you did a great job on fixing up the image from such a small picture. I also like how smooth the wallpaper looks there. Just a little messy smudges at his eye and eyebrows though. But the hair looks amazing. < 3
Aww this scene is so touching..It's part of the ED sequence of the Crisis Core game when zack died. =O

You did great work with the hair, and the colours look so much better in comparison with the original image ^^ The face looks slightly off though o_O But I'm just being picky =D The fire and the text make a nice addition to the image < 3
Keep up the good work - hope to see more wallpapers from you ;)
This wallpaper is so phenomenal and I'm in awe of your amazing skills! First off I would like to thank you for paying tribute to one of my favorite yet complex character. This is the second wallpaper that I've seen recently of Final Fantasy 7 and it's features are just as exquisite. Cloud's expression here is rather dramatic but innocent, that's one of the key attribute that I like about him, his child like mind set and honesty is a joy to watch (but when he needs to take action and get the job done, there is no hesitation). I think you have refined him well and it transcends so much to the point where I can tap into all the emotions that he's expressing (well done).
The atmosphere is perfect and very complementing of the protagonist, I like the smooth mixture/blending of colors (it comes across flawlessly) and my favorite little distinguished detail is Cloud's hair. I have no idea as to how you managed to craft it so beautifully... well vectoring does come to mind (but even if you explained it to me in technical terms I believe that I still would not understand, hehe good job). The small flares of fire is spectacular as well. Please accept my humble bow of appreciation for this beautifully crafted wallpaper and pat yourself on the shoulder for a job well done!
This wall is really impressive..it is kinda blurry to me as Nysha said,but it's still and amazing wall...I like how you made his eyes,they really make me gaze at them and feel hypnotized,lol

WHAT!? You mean that you enlarged the whole image and cleaned it up again? Nice job!
It's OK with the fire in the BG. ^^ It reminds me of the scene of the destruction of Nibelheim when Sephiroth got insane and all...
GREAT WALL! And WHOOPEE, it's the resolution of our PC!
