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 originally started looking for Kei Toume artwork after seeing a few scans and ended up finding Fuguruma Memories...a short color manga that completely blew me away for its plot, art, style, and most of all characters

There were so many good images to choose from but I ended up picking this manga scan from the end of the series

I sacrificed the color to go for a sepia-tone look that suited the importance of photographs and old memories in the series...my title (a translation of the French in the wall) is an allusion to Proust's seven volume work A la recherche du temps perdu ...(In Search of Lost Time or Remembrance of Things Past)... which is also about time and memories in love and life

Technical details:
Approx 10 hours
Approx 20 layers

Fuguruma Memories is one of my favorite Kei Toume works and it's wonderful to see a wall for it. I love how you accented Ian's eyes. They carries a strong message of holding on to dear memories.

Nice looking wp. the art seems odd to me, i'm not sure i would actually use this on my desktop but i still wanted to let you know that you did a good job. extraction and coloring look nice. i like the brush work you did on the bg, though i feel it's a bit empty. i know the focus is supposed to be on her but i think you could've faintly put objects in there. she's in a room, maybe a painting, or coffee table with some roses or something on it. still, it's a great wp. keep up the good work! :)

This wallpaper gives off a very dark and creepy feeling, which I think is really nice. Love the empty space and the textures used. overall really nice.

This wallpaper gives off an ancient past feeling. The brown effects make this wallpaper more vivid and lively. The designs you used is very clear and antique. It was constructed as being real simple and clean, but is also complex and intricate. Very calm blend of brown and black. Keep the work and effort up!

That wallpaper gives out a nice feeling of nostalgia, thanks to the colour and Ian's kimono. But it comes alive by keeping her eye-colour, which reminds me of the sad story of the girl she was modeled after. I really like this wall and therefor I'm adding it as my favourite, even though the background seems somehow empty. Still, at work, having it on my des it attracted more attention than many much more colourful and filled up did. Thumbs up.
