Trick or Treat by °chanelqueen17 1 month 2 weeks ago

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 played Persona 4 and I have Persona 3 ~FES edition, but I haven't played it yet. I liked both but I wish they had the option to include the Japanese voices...they had a all-star seiyuu cast.

I should restate a few things. It isn't a major overall, but it is nearest to the original release that the States has had access to without importing. So if you like Persona pick it up.

Wonder if Moutonzare had finished his vector... doki doki

Persona IS AWESOME. Truly faithful remastering of the original. Worth the buy for that price.

I think my head is permanently tilted to the right.
I tried to get a feel of desolation, loss, and hope onto this wall.

Title: "The Way to a Smile" - taken from FFVII series novels
Japanese Blurb: something along the lines of "I wanted to see her smile again" (I personally do NOT know much japanese, just asked a friend lol)

Scan:I took the scan from here, vector and painted it via smudging and stuff.
Background: Crafted via vectors, textures, and painting from various pieces of source material. The sky is a stock from resurgere. Dove is too.

This thing took way too long, any comments and all suggestions are welcome. Hope you like it. 8)E emoticon

Special Thanks to Nysha for her comments on SZ
EDIT: And so there were more highlights on his hair! thanks :)

I'm glad to see you've put out another wall :) I think the background looks awesome. You've done a great job with blending it and making it look like an ideal background. The black lines give Ed a nice stood out look and gives a unique look to the wall and that works great with the entire piece as well. However, I think that Ed's bangs could be adjusted a little to match the painting you did with the rest of the wall. Also, maybe the darkest vector shadow of his ribs could be blended the way the midtones blend (they sort of stick out a little). Overall, the colors are lovely and the wall looks great! Nice work~ ^^

Lovely background and also nice for the vectoring...
though the black outline rather to thick, esp in his hair, but the blending between Ed and the bg is just good enough to see...

This is a very nice piece of work. I like the way you coloured it in a more realistic way. The composition is very well thought out to draw most attention to the character, aspecialy the automail.

The only critique i will give, and this is just a suggestion, is: to maiby add a few hard-shadows, just a little bit can make for a picture with better definition, and might help your eyes not to get lost within the fleshcolours especially.

Just a thought though, very well done.

I love it :3
the only small complaint i have is that the foreground looks all pastel-ish and flat while the bg looks epic with all the lighting--i think you should create some lighting in his hair and on the edges where the light is coming from behind just to blend it a bit more
but other than that i really love it!

I think you did a great job with this.
I loft the soft brush details you made in his hair and on his skin, it's very nice and well rendered.

This is great! I love that scan and the wall you made from it! I think you really did justice to it. The background is very atmospheric and I think you did an excellent job on the arm. Fantastic job!

The wall is spectacular. I love the amount of detail on the hand, as well as a bit forgotten technique of mixing sharp vector edges with smooth, painted filling - this is what makes this wall unique! Unbelievable piece, really!

Hey, saw this one in SZ a while ago but totally forgot about it ^__^" Sorry about that, but I think the final version has turned out really well. Nice job on the background, looks pretty cool. I like the use of colors, they really give the wall that gritty, dark-ish style.
The only thing I don't like is the outlines on Ed's hair. They're too black and too thick, giving it a cartoony look, while the rest is more realistic.

Anyway, nice work!

Nice wallpaper dude. Its been time now that i have seen new members make wallpapers that look pleasing to the eyes.Good wallpaper indeed, but i would do a bit of suggestion and put my two cents. Firstly that your scan looks good. I have no critiques against it. The background is good looking but it could have been better. The torn building behind his cape looks good but looks very fake maybe because of its edge.. Needs a bit of perspective i guess. Then everything is fine except the minaret. I hope you know what that is. Its that building behind his hands..The one with slits in it and the pigeon flying around it..Well that looks literally bad. No offence but it does not go with the background. Maybe because of 2 reasons. (1) that the minaret has edges that look very weird as if it was extracted using a magic wand. And (2) because the pigeon flying around it looks a bit off "graphics".
I hope you shall do better next time. I appreciate your hard work put into this. Keep it up
