Wallpapers and Walling

You linked the thumbnails and not a link to the wallpaper.

You can upload one version and host the other version on some image site. Mainly because all I see that is different is the eye color. It's nothing drasitic.

As far as fan art goes. It is only accepted on one condition from what I read:

Wallpapers made from fan art or doujinshi by recognized or highly skilled artists must be submitted to the artist's category. A user can render a wall using an artist's picture as reference. What I believe is that animepaper is trying curve away wallpapers that include fan art from people who draw fan art that is not high quality. That means it is all disportional, coloring isn't great, sloppy, or it doesn't seem like a lot of effort was put in. According to the FAQ, it is ok as long as your fan art is similar to a reknown artist's drawings. Submissions to the "Original Anime Art" category need to fit the intended scope of the category. The category is ONLY for "anime-styled" drawings done by the waller, or by a close friend that you then made into a wall. They MUST be original characters and can not be fan art nor doujinshi. Again, this is for ANIME STYLED ARTWORK ONLY. It took me a couple of mins to answer your question and frustration. FAQ is a good place to look to answer questions. I looked at the other thread and your fan art isn't anime style. This quote also explains why other "fan art" is in the gallery.

I never thought of it was fan art when I first looked at. If it was, it was done really well, haha.

Well, I can see the differences now between the wallpapers. But I still don't think it's enough to warrant 2 separate entries. You could submit both and they might get approved but as said before, the change isn't that drastic.

One thing is that the linework isn't consistent. The outer lines are dark while the inner ones are lighter. The lighter ones I presume are from the original scan. Then the other ones is some black stroke or glow effect. I suggest maybe vectoring the line work only and overlay it on top of the scan. It will make the scan look better since all the lines will be consistent.

The brown design... it doesn't really fit in. The main conflict on this wall is that you're trying to blend 2 styles together but it isn't working. The font and design is a bit grungy but then you have a clear blue sky as the background.

What I suggest for changes is that, you undo the black glow on the top left design. Change the color to white or a light color. Then move the layer behind Tsuna and use some filter to blend it into the sky background. Then the font could be changed into something more smoother and refined but not a gothic-type font. You could maintain the same color because it looks pretty cool. The wall feels kind of cramp, maybe you could scale down Tsuna and reveal more of his body. The wallpaper also needs a signature somewhere.

Tsuna with blue eyes suits the wallpaper better. Unless you want to change everything to red and use the original one.

honestly i dont think you did much other than change the face but i do like your change i think you should just re-cg the whole thing and take away the borders and the part that says giotto and that line behind it those are distracting and not needed in my opinion

so cool!!
