Ruthless Sunset

"I am not usually one for taking part in session zero comments, but...

I felt this one required a little input. I'm not exactly sure where to begin... So, lets go with the first that comes to mind... as it has been said in the above posting, this character and backdrop is not from Hack, it is from a game called "Primitive Link", published by "Purple Soft". This majestic person is the character Sione. This primarily for everybody else's benefit, because she is a beautiful characters to say the least and it is always nice to put a name to a face... ^_^

Anyway, second point that I have noticed is I have had this --exact-- image on my computer since it was uploaded onto Minitokyo in October 2007 ((I actually found the scan and have once more bookmarked the URL for future reference)). Less the claimant that you designed this yourself in terms of your signature, it is untouched - barring the substantial decrease in resolution from the one supplied of 1600 x 1200.

I do hope that you can do better than take an image from another hosting site, slap your signature on it and pass it off as something you have done. If you wish to upload scans and such, then perhaps you should use the scans section in the future?

Perhaps taking this image and placing it onto another backdrop would be a good start if you wished to make a backdrop of her... it has been done as before? Just a passing suggestion..."

"Rock on!

Just as I am going on a great big Tsuyokiss hunt, this comes along, starting up the Tsuyokiss wallpaper section. WOOT! With a few scans available on AP, and several others floating around the internet in CG collections, I am looking forward to seeing many more enter this section in the near future.

As for the opening act, pink isn't exactly my style, but in truth I am biased to say that I prefer any colour as long as its black. But, I am pleased to see that the artist information is unobtrusive, and the colour combinations mix well. However, I feel that the caption made the backdrop a little lop-sided, leaving empty space on the right with nothing to fill a space that draws my attention away. If the main focus ((Erika)) was shifted a little to the right, it would compensate this fact.

Regardless, thank-you for sharing and displaying the fruits of your time... ^_^"

庭の影 - Garden Shadow

"Thumbnails do not do this justice

I am simply amazed when I opened this full screen. Initially I was hesitant and thought this to be slightly overrated, but when it was fully loaded, I can say I was honestly stunned back into my chair.

Amazing quality, the sharpness is absolutely superb for our main focus, and the items in the background are just enough out of focus to make it look authentic that those items really are far enough behind the main focus as depicted. Excellent shading that keeping with the darker time of day depicted by the sky.

An excellent piece that I am happy to save away on my computer for a time when I feel just right to enjoy this piece as a backdrop ((IE, when I have a wide-screen monitor o_o))

Thank-you for sharing... ^_^"

Wolf and Riding Hood

4 months 3 weeks ago

"I'm in near stitches!

This is an amazing take on something that seems so innocent on the surface. Granted, the look on little Reds face keeps true to that innocent vibe, but I'm going to leave it there.

Because I don't think I can come up with any puns, like I have seen from previous users ((Riding Little Redhood, that is rich stuff, baov)), I'm just going to stick to my thoughts on the artwork, and the wall as a whole.

As far as the back of the wallpaper being poorly done, I have to disagree. Instead of just having Red and the Wolf together on the left hand side, and leaving the right hand side empty, having that black and white image in the background makes sure that the wallpaper is evenly balanced, leaving limited white ((clear)) space, while it also adds extra depth to what I believe is trying to be portrayed. A double whammy.

I am of the opinion that it is actually the wolf's idea, or thought while she is holding Little Red, that gives more body to the wallpaper. This is definitely download worthy and will become the backdrop on my laptop when I wake it from its slumber tomorrow morning.

Thanks for sharing!"

"And intriguing piece to look at

Wallpapers with a deeper meaning are something that will interest most of us. There was something subtle about it the wallpaper that drew me in and made me keep looking until I realized what it was my unconscious mind had seen.

Very effective use of imagery that ads extra meaning and insight into the caption - something that you don't see at first glance. An image that I will not hesitate to take a second, third, or fourth look at when I drop back to my desktop.

Very good work. Definitely download worthy.

Quite the intriguing wallpaper...

As far as black and white wallpapers go, as I'm a sucker for them, this one doesn't exactly stand out at first glance, but having downloaded it into full size for the sake of curiosity ((that and I didn't have anything else to do)), I corrected myself into thinking this was quite worthy of the download.

I am now getting a very chilling feel every time I revert back to my desktop, because his eyes are now looking at me from the other side of my monitor. That is an impressive feeling to get from just a wallpaper.

The Vector is clean and crisp, with no visible irregularities, and the red petals are a nice touch that I didn't notice on my first viewing. A very beautiful piece of work that I am pleased to now has my background.

Well done!"

"Incredible... 1,000 words, one image... Should there be more said?

The strength captured in such a moment is the true skill of an artist, and I placing it into colour is a tribute to such an incredible moment caught in time. Having added the caption to it, you seemed to have intensified the moment the original artist was trying to convey to a point where you can almost feel her heart, if not her soul trying to get her emotions across.

All in all, it is download worthy and I am pleased to have added it to my computer so I can view it later. Thank-you for sharing ... ^_^"

"Go Shigure!

He just loves teasing his poor editor. This image perfectly shows his affinity for teasing her, and also shows off that goofy nature that our dearly beloved dog shows off.

As mentioned in the 'featured' comment, this perfectly gives off the "Full House" look without making everything seem too busy. Having the main characters in the centre, while the boarder is made out of the cherry blossoms is a perfect effect - almost as if the image is an open window into the entire series of Fruits Basket.

The only thing that really detracts from this beautiful wall, is the fruit nearest Tohru and the food laid out before Kisa and Hiro, as it doesn't exactly look like it belongs there. It ends up looking a little too bright and manufactured, for use of a better word. However, that is so minor that everything else makes up for it as you tend to forget it's even there in the end... You do end up just looking at it and seeing a rather happy situation that can't help but make you smile.

Rock on, and thanks for sharing!"

Attention Bunnies! We have a Stranger !!

1 year 2 months ago

"What a hoot!

I couldn't help but chuckle as this downloaded. The thumbnail doesn't quite do it all that much justice. Both the scan and the implanted image match perfectly in their use of shading, colour and as you mentioned previously - messy - styles, so that everything seems like it is meant to be there. There is nothing worse than having an image where the person, or thing of focus, is messy, while the rest of the image is crisp, clean and sharply made - or visa versa.

As I think somebody has said before, it does kind of have a grunge theme to it, especially in the way that the bunnies have zips across their mouth's. If not that, the caption gives out an ominous feeling that not all will be well for this stranger.

Anyway, this has instantly replaced by current backdrop and I'm pleased to say, it suites my mood to a T at the moment. Thanks for sharing!"

ORO?!

1 year 2 months ago

"Ahhhh, Good 'ol Kenshin.

Being his most commonly used phrase in the entire Anime, Oro has become his trademark.

Anyway, regardless of its simplicity, this is a very funny wallpaper to look at. The colour you decided to use, how it blends from a very orange like colour and into a red makes the backdrop scream out just the same exclamation our dear Kenshin used to. He usually used that expression when he was shocked, curious or just afraid and the orange and red combination has always been a 'danger', 'warning', 'shocked' set that one would use.

Simply put, I think that a green would clash and you wouldn't get the same feeling you'd get from this combination. All over, download worthy if you want to treat your friends to something a little shocking when you start up your computer. They'll take one look and they'd have to go "oro"?.

Kikoe masu ka? Lenalee?

"Very Well Done. Collab work at its finest!

You two must have had quite a-lot of fun while making this, because it shows in the intricate details and time spent between the vector, and every other aspect of this wallpaper.

I especially love the way that the ground seems to blur as it leads away from the main focus of the image, being Lenalee and Allen's hands. It seems to ad an increased effect on the time of day depicted, as I am sure I am not the only one that finds that during Sundown things tend to blur out at a distance. I am not entirely sure whether that is just my own eyesight, or mind, or in-fact was an intended effect.

Either way, it is an extremely beautiful piece of work and I am pleased to have come across it. I hope to see more collaborations between the two of you in the future, as I can foresee much more intriguing and exciting things. Thanks for sharing!"

Tenjou Tenge

"The Three Top Guns of Tenjou Tenge... Booyaka!

Effective use of empty space, and well balanced. Having Aya holding the Raki and giving off such a huge challenging stance in the background gives the use of Maya and Souichiro in the foreground all the more premiss that they belong there, as Aya does tend to fight her own battles for the most part from what I have found with the series thus far.

And for that reason reason, Maya and Souichiro seem like they belong like that in such a challenging pose. Having Nagi with his back turned gives off his bad-boy appeal, while Maya gives off a very 'imposing' feeling, regardless of her state of undress after turning from 'midgit chick' form, as Souichiro so aptly puts it.

Rock on. Thanks for sharing!

I can understand the intense idea of May weilding the Raki, but to a point where she begins to have no boundaries to the background makes it hard to enjoy the image all that much. A little tone down on the contrast and a touch back on the brightness would have made this an excellent background.

Thank-you for sharing your work mind you, Maya's stance with the Raki is incredible!"

Giving Shin that kind of blue hue gives him a ghostly quality. I know it wasn't exactly the kind of effect sought, but considering the fact that Shin is dead through the first part of the manga ((I haven't delved any further)), it seems quite apt an idea.

Anyway, it's an interesting piece of work that I know will get me thinking when I have a closer look at it.

Open. Model. Session

"Very Impressive indeed.

I am very intrigued with the use of blurring to focus your attention to the sessions model. That is the first thing that really stands out. The second is the caption - it doesn't intrude on the rest of the wallpaper, to a point where I hardly notice it is there.

On a more personal note... I could not contort like that for any length of time... Period. My hat goes off to people who do keep themselves in poses of similar constraint.

"Yay for Black and White! Worth the wait while it opens!

I still don't know what it is about black and white that gets me so interested. I guess it is because I see things in colour all day, that having something where I imagine the colours out to be something that sparks more thought than the usual ones I get.

Anyhoo, regardless of the fact that I haven't read anything into where these two come from, I get the distinct impression that they are partners in something. Not necessarily crime, but given the darkish style to the man I get the distinct impression of something dark between the two. At least that is what I get from the whole emotion the image gives out.

A real fine piece of work with nothing that overly detracts from it.

A very worthwhile addition to my wallpaper collection! Thank-you for sharing!"

Hidden Emotion

"The thumbnail doesn't do any justice! Stop reading and Download Now!

It's almost as if the backdrop to Mitsuomi and Maya is like the glass shattering around the face Mitsuomi gives out of being a stone cold totalitarian leader. If not, an emotionless fighting machine hell-bent on recognized control of all the different martial arts within his society. Or is that the same thing?

Anyway, I regress. Personally, I think the background, the colours and textures used fits exceedingly well with your choice of caption. Everything balances out throughout the wallpaper, and there is no 'empty space' which is a big thing sometimes in an emotion that you are trying to display. The only thing that I would suggest on, is having the caption up and away from the boarder a little bit.

Thanks for sharing!

"Finally! A Souichiro Wallpaper worthy of download and usage!

I was honestly beginning to loose all hope that I would find a image of our beloved male protagonist - let alone find him in a backdrop that I would actually consider using if I wasn't already being totally enthralled by the Chibi's I currently have in service. But I digress!

As I have said before, I am totally biased toward anything black and white, so this is an instant fav in my books. The use of the shadows around Souichiro is an excellent effect that seems to intensify the mystery of the power that was just being shown to us at the end of the first series of animated Tenjho Tenge.

While shadowing him out in some areas of his body, as well as on the fringe boarders of the images' focus is quite unique, having the total use of empty space as sheer blackness does a good job in making you focus toward the intention of Souichiro in this pose - Power. As if you are forced to wear blinders, like a horse does.

Anyhoo... Thank-you for the hard work, and sharing it with us!"

I don't care who says otherwise, black and white images just rock. But, this one just rocks harder than the others I have seen recently. Having the head and the fingers as the only really visible portions of light in that area of dark is quite a trick on the eyes, as I have been looking at this image I am trying to put in a body - or something to connect the two separate portions of the image together.
