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!

"Overall this is a very nicely vectored wallpaper. The outer edge of Sakura's hat could use some work- it's jagged when it should be a consistent rounded edge. Other than that, if you're goal is simplicity then it's pretty well made. If you want to give it a little more definition I'd suggest adding some more shading to Sakura and Syaoran to give them more depth. Good luck! ^-^"

"I read a scanlation of this way back when! I'm so happy to see such a beautiful wallpaper for it! There's so much about it that I love, but I'm especially drawn to the bamboo on the left side. The whole piece is so serene and the colors are simply gorgeous. I love it!

This deserves more love, so I'll reiterate what I told you on MT.
I've always wanted to see a wallpaper with this scan, but I had no idea how to approach it and I'm so glad you got a hold of it! You've made me a very happy person by adding the texture to his cloak, and it works very nicely against the texture of the sand dunes that you painted in the background. And I don't think you could really see the textures if you turned them down, so I'll disagree with those advising you to do so o_o The stars were well placed so that you can't tell if any brushes were repeated or not (always a plus!), and the visibility of the sand flowing out from his hand in to the air was executed perfectly. I think if you had deepened the gradation of the shadows in the vector it would have increased the richness and depth of the entire piece, but you stayed true to the vector and didn't skimp on any details so it's still very nice. And you even thought of us widescreeners! This is definitely a favorite of mine <3 emoticon "

"I really, really like the idea for this wallpaper. The positioning was well-thought out and vectoring is nice and clean. The Earth is so much more detailed than she is, but I think if you deepened the shadows in places on her it would create a better balance. Overall, I like it!"

"It looks like a lovely page out of a storybook. The composition is very nice and unlike many wallpapers nowadays it's actually practical for someone's desktop. The only thing negative that I have noticed is that the characters are a bit grainy. If you can find a way to smooth it out just a tiny bit I think you have a beautiful wallpaper."

"As a person who has become extremely critical of (and all around bored with) Vampire Knight Wallpapers, I have to say that I LOVE this! The sharp whites against the shades of gray and the red petals make this so dramatic. The angle of Yuuki in the background and Kaname in the front looks as though it should have been from the same scan originally. And the text on the side is well-placed and gives the wallpaper a polished feel. Again, I love this and have to add it as a favorite! |(n_n)| emoticon"

Tifa - Final Fantasy VII

7 months 3 weeks ago

"You deserve a cyber medal for catching my eye with an Advent Children wallpaper (although, Tifa was very cool looking in it...). ( []-[])9 emoticon

Moving right along, I'm very impressed with the amount of detail that you captured repainting that image! I love the somewhat blurry feel the entire piece has, as it keeps the focus on Tifa were it needs to the most. The only real negative thing I have to comment on would be the colors that you used for Tifa... She's fairer skinned and has darker hair, so the way she came out in this image makes her look like a different ethnicity (the lips actually aren't bad if you think about it that way... they look pinker because of the color of her skin and hair). But other than that it looks very nice, and I'm favin' it!"

"Boo on people complaining about "thick lines" [#]-(-_-) emoticon what do they know? But moving right along, this wallpaper looks beautiful! Well, that's a bit of an understatement, really. <3 emoticon This is hands down the best Vampire Princess Miyu wallpaper that I have ever laid eyes upon. I do think that using thinner lines was a good choice for this wallpaper because it helps makes the piece look more delicate in the long run. The soft painted flowers combined with her intense stare have a really powerful effect. It would be shameful not to favorite this |(n_n)| emoticon"

"Is that background from X (X1999)? (XD) emoticon It looks kind of like it.

Anyways, if you want to add to the feel of dust blowing around him you could try lightly erasing places of the overlaying tetxure (I'm assuming you used one? (o_o) emoticon ) and varying the degree of "thickness of the dust" to give it a more authentic effect. Another way to help this is by using a sort of mist or horizontal cloud brush to deepen the look in places.

It's looking pretty good so far! Good luck with it!"

I'm so glad to see how this turned out! Lightening up the hair a bit and giving it a soft blue sky for a background made this very eye-catching in a good way. Now it has a simplistic, but very ethereal and angelic atmosphere. Adding shading/lighting to the gold necklace would have added to the effect you were going for and would have kept the jewelry from being flat, but aside from that I think it looks very nice. It's so bright and airy, I need something light to lift me away from the dark and creepy wallpapers I keep making (XD) emoticon

Very lovely! "

"The wallpaper doesn't feel finished to me. The shading on the hair is excellent and the layout is very well planned, but every (minus the hair) feels very flat. It's a very cute idea and the Christmas-card layout works nicely, it just doesn't feel complete."

Just Like an Angel...

"I think the hair has the right amount of lines, actually, as they give it depth. Though I realize her eyes are supposed to have a vacant feel it would help the wallpaper if they had a bit of a glow within them to keep them from looking so flat. The gold accents look very flat compared to the detail in her hair. On the left side of her face the skin is a straight line where it touches the hair- if you want it to look more natural you might consider going and fixing the hairline. There's also a lot of contrast between the dark shading of her hair and the stark white background- if that concerns you then you can fix this either by lightening her hair a tad or adding a glow effect since she's holding the feather (for example- you can make it look like light is coming off of the feather rather than a mist surrounding as it is now).

I hope that helps! You're definitely on the right track! "

"The vector itself looks very nice as well as the clouds, but on the left side of the brick wall and beyond looks painfully obvious where the vector ended. The realism of the tree and the more abstract rolling hill feel very out of place while the open end of the wall looks too smooth and blurry. Think about it this way, a broken brick would look more jagged as opposed to looking as though it's melting off, and the misshapen grout lines right before the crumbling wall even starts doesn't make any sense. It really is a lovely vector and you nailed the lighting, it just needs a better transition into being a full scale wallpaper (though the sky extends perfectly!). "

"This wallpaper deserves more love <3 emoticon You get nice points from me for the clever play on words with the title. The texture pulls an already very fitting scan together with the pieces of the map that you used together and makes it feel like it all belongs. Fading the border in places really ages the piece as well. I think the upper corner map might be a little too dark compared with the rest of the wallpaper (it kind of messes up the focus), but other than that I think this was a very well made piece. Take the fav- you've earned it! .(n_n). emoticon"

I immediately thought of that song when I read the title! The image you used fits the music nicely, I think. ^_^ Everything about the wallpaper is executed very well, from the smooth, high quality of the vector to the textures and lighting- it feels dare I say perfect. "

Proper Education

"I guess this is kind of late for me to point this out, but the Teachers quite frankly have every right to monitor what is going on at school. If punks are stealing it's unfortunate that everyone has to be punished, but that's life. It's not exactly fair for the teachers to go through that, and showing such disrespect for them doesn't exactly make me feel sorry for any of the students, but rather that they brought it on themselves. Wanting to feel at home at school is nice, but it isn't home and demanding such is more immature than heroic.

But leaving my two cents aside, I'll get back to the wallpaper. The perspective for this wallpaper is phenomenal, and it definitely deserves the SSS ranking that it holds. The balance of the light and dark contrast is practically perfect, and thus aesthetically pleasing. 8)E emoticon I may be a year behind on this one, but it's absolutely worth a favorite!"
