Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!
"Oh wow! This is a very pretty and colorful wallpaper! Not to mention that it's shiny too. XD I think this is the first time I've seen an abstract background this colorful and effective. It's decorative, but at the same time it's not distracting and neither does it steal away the spotlight for the girl in the middle (I forgot the name of that card).
The only thing that bugs me a little is the text. It fits and I like it how it is already anyways, but I feel maybe a text that represents the feeling of the wallpaper would make the wallpaper even better. ^_^;;
"Wow! Beautiful scenes of nature always makes me feel so happy, and this wallpaper is no exception. It's simply so realistic and charming! The girl also fits nicely into the wallpaper, as though she is part of the scenary. ^_^ How you handled the text is really nice too.
"Personally, I think that while the overall grey-ish feel is really cool, it doesn't really fit Naruto on the left. He's a bit too grey in my opinion. Perhaps make Naruto more natural colored, or make him brighter. At least I think he would look better than way, as well as fit the wallpaper better. ^_^
But it's still a great wallpaper! The matrix design in the back and the blue aura surrounding Naruto and Sasuke is a really impressive idea!" View

"Cool wallpaper. I really like the simplicity. ^^ (Feels clean and smooth)
I really like the red moon, splatters, and electricity on the katana. The text/lyrics is also a nice addition. The redness of the moon and splatter goes very well with the black & white feeling of the wall. ^^
I just think maybe it would be better if you made the white outline on the man's black clothing a bit more visible, as well as the electric on the sword. ^^;; But that's just my opinion. I can see what I just suggested might ruin the smooth feeling of the wallpaper. xD
I especially like the background design. Very decorative, with all the interesting shapes and designs. The sandy/rocky texture is really nice, and smooth. Fits well with the golden/orange-ish colors. ^^
Mm...I just think Haruhi should be standing in front of everything. Like...the border at the bottom is currently in front of Haruhi, which to me...looks kinda odd since I think it belongs as part of the background. But that's just my personal preference. ^^
Other than that...neat wallpaper. ^_^ *favs*" View
Haruhi: Going Out!

"Hm...the wallpaper is very interesting. Simple and complicated at the same time. XD
I really like the swirls, and the abstract-ness of the design created by the shapes. How you inserted the "Haruhi. going out" text is very interesting as well. Love the eroded effect on the text. The scan is also very clean, which is a nice thing, especially when put together with the simple light grey color on the left side and other areas. ^^ What's best is the scan is about Haruhi! XD
Mm...nothing to criticize about it from me. I like it. Definitely a fav. ^^" View

"The amount of effort you put into the wallpaper is clearly reflected in the wallpaper itself. It looks brilliant! Very very pretty, and very very detailed. ^_^ I also like the fact that you matched Yuki's chinese style of clothing with a chinese/japanese feeling background. The tone of color is also very smooth and nice. The fireflies enchant the scene even more. Also very unique wallpaper compared to other wallpapers I've seen before of the same anime. ^^
I'd like it if the "Yuki Nagato" text was a bit more fitting with the "Home of the FireFlies" text, but still like it never-the-less. xD
"Wow. Really nice job. ^^ The simplicity is great. Very clean and clear. And the starfield background is pure awesome! I like shiny stuff, and Sailor Moon is one of my favorite animes. xD
The only thing I find kinda weird whould be the pillars. Like...to me anyways, looks kinda dull. Mm... perhaps I should say that it doesn't really seem to fit that well into the picture in my opinion. ^^;; I think you can probably add some light marble texture onto the pillar or something, to make it more interesting, and perhaps it'll be more fitting to the seemingly realistic night sky, especially with the moon there. Just a suggestion. ^^
"LOLz! That looks so hilarious! XD It matches that Haruhi scene so well!
Awesome vector art, especially since you had to create some of it. ^^ The background/setting is very nicely done as well (floor/wood texture, chalkboard, poster, etc...) Just that the tail of the Kon in the center looks a bit too square-ish, thus, to me anyways, looks a bit unnatural. It's very minor though, so no worries about that.
"Your vector art is really amusing! The wallpaper seems a little simple, but I guess that's how vector art usually is. xD
Nice use of brushes. Maybe if you varied the sizes of the flowers as well, the wallpaper would be more interesting. ^^ That font you used and how you altered it really fits with that paint brush in the wallpaper.
Hm...also maybe make the mouth of a darker color? Or perhap widen it. I think it'd look more natural that way. ^^;;
"Wow, that's really nice! The background fits the scan and the color of the entire wallpaper is maintained as red-ish to yellow-ish. I really like the burst in the upper right hand of the wallpaper too. ^^
Though, my preference for the background would be more of something related to nature, since she pretty much looks like she's standing on a balcony or edge of a boat or something. Maybe a blue sky background with some clouds will do. Perhaps even add the sunlight as well. ^^
It's not bad in my opinion though. I like it how it is. XD" View

"Wow, kawaii ne. ^^
Nothing bad I can see. Though the style is simple the entire thing looks cool. Also good choice for the scan. XD I just wish the quality was a tad bit higher. ^^;; But since the file size you chose is quite small I guess it can't be helped. Still, awesome piece of work.
I like basically everything you included. The sparkles, the lines, beautiful background, the pattern thing applied to the entire wallpaper, etc... Also nice choice for a scan. The wallpaper looks very smooth. I don't have really anything bad to say.
"Wow, you vectored nearly the entire thing? Amazing!
Very nice scene. The Sakura petals and the fog gives the scene a really nice feeling (just what you wanted). Looks a lot like a Chinese/Japanese painting with colors. XD Even the shadows are good. Hm...maybe you could've added the sun? Just a suggestions, but I would probably be too bright for the purpose.
"Simplicity is always nice, though this one is a tad bit too simple for my taste. ^^;; I really like the background texture, and the 3 swirly lines, but I think you probably could've added a bit more "flavor" to it. Hm...perhaps try making it a more 3D-ish look than a 2D-ish look. It's just a suggestion. You don't really have to follow my advice. XD
"Hehe, the vectoring is excellent though it kinda looks like you retraced/re-made the whole thing. XD I'm guessing you did that in Macromedia flash but it doesn't matter. It looks fantastic! (except the back of Sora's hair. Some of the lines are a bit too thick, so it doesn't "flow" that well with the rest of the lines). I especially like the background.

"Very nice piece of work. ^^ Everything looks so smooth. The texture used for the background looks very nice and suits the wallpaper as a whole (well, at least in my opinion). The design and the lower left hand corner is very interesting. I like it. XD The text is very nice, though there is 1 typo (I think). You wrote "that us make happy", instead of "that make us happy".

"Haha, I really like the idea. ^^ But once I see the scan the "fall" turned a tad bit fake. ^^;;
Anyways, great effects that you used. The "spreading of the clouds" gives the feeling that the girl is breaking through the atmosphere from the sky. The moon and stars really strengthens the effect. The moon as the origin and the stars as part of showing how the clouds are pushed away. The dark sky background is nicely done as well.
"Very nice wallpaper! Good choice of the scan and the background to go with it. It does give a heavenly and space-like feeling. Very calm yet powerful. For the moon though, I think it would probably look better if the left side of it wasn't blended into the background. ^^;; Hm...maybe also try to give the signature/credits on it a heavenly look such that it kinda goes with the wallpaper as a whole? ^^
Anyways, it's still a brilliant wallpaper. ^_^" View

I also like how you "tilted" the background. Really fits in with the girl as a scene. Extraction is well done (yes, both the anime girl and the birds). Your effort really does pay off. XD
Hm... that rainbow could be a bit more curved though. Looks kinda too straight in my opinion. But still, great work! I really enjoy it." View
