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've made a bunch of ghibli wallpapers in the past, and with the new ponyo movie out, I found it fitting to make a ponyo wallpaper. This one is simple, and I tried to keep it that way with the smooth edges (not many black lines) and soft colors. I vectored the original image and completely drew the water by hand (another one of the my "learned how to do something as I go along" techniques) and I think I did a pretty good job for my first little puddle of water. It's not the most realistic water, but I didn't really want it to be, I just wanted it smooth.
Also in the original image, the head is underwater, and in this vector I wanted to make it look like ponyo's head is peaking just a little bit :)
Hope you guys enjoy it!
OH AND ALSO I actually haven't seen ponyo yet <_<, maybe if this wallpaper is popular enough I'll have to go see it lol
Ponyo ponyo ponyo sakana no ko! :)
You must see this movie now. As someone who has seen it - it is well worth seeing! :D
I've given you feedback throughout your creating of this one, so there's not much I can say. I love Ponyo!
This wall looks a lot darker on my mac than the pc at work.. so weird.
ONE SUGGESTION! Get rid of the black outline on the text and smooth the white edges. :)

Damn, haven't seen anything from you in a long while, Helix. Even though you're on the other side (Newa scum!), I've always loved your walls, so it's good to see you back!
Simplicity suits Ponyo well, so this is a lovely relaxing wall. Fantastic scanfix and the added water is great. I'm not so happy about the logo, it'd prolly be better if you had smoothened and straightened the edges, like the water. Looks a bit low-quality now compared to the rest.
And go watch the movie, you bananapeel, it's a must-see!
The movie was adorable (not on the same awesomeness level as Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle, but great nonetheless). I love the simplicity of the wallpaper. Ponyo sure is adorable and I loved it when she was in the pale staring up at Sasuke. You did a great job!
Nice texturing and detailing on this. Very well done but it doesnt quite interest me. It is cute and plain. There's a lot of plain wallpapers out there and some of them are just badly plain. Some of them have caught my attention although the work was a bit empty.
It is a nice wallpaper though. If the details weren't there, this wallpaper would've been definitely ignored. but i can actually see this wallpaper on a lot of computer screens. The wallpaper isn't busy. Empty wallpapers means more icon space. =)...

Google image searched the logos :)
