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!
"Though I am quite flattered to see TWO of my vectors being used simultaneously (and with the given credit, thank you so much!) I am forced to say this:
What on Earth did you DO to them? The whole point in vectoring is that the images look clean and HQ, so that they contribute to make a better looking wallpaper (or something like that) But the vectors here look all fuzzy and weird and horrible! Where did you get them from? Both of them were 2500 px high, so resizing shouldn't have been a problem, how did you manage to make them look so LQ? The originals were not like this.
I like the idea of using both Ulqui Espada and Casual Ulqui, but I didn't really get what you were aiming for here. You're missing some filters or something, because the pictures don't really match the BG, or rather, change the BG to something that would fit the pictures. The wall in itself doesn't seem to communicate anything besides well... Ulqui and green, and though Ulqui rocks my socks, just randomly adding colors and brushes doesn't always do the trick. " View

"As oustanding the vectoring may be (which it is), the background stripes and that horribly simple font, with that meaningless text (the character name just doesn't do the trick for wallpaper texts) screws your great vector.
The suggestion I'd give you is to change the text. Maybe use some Barragan-centered title from the manga, like "Tyrant of Skulls" or "Spit on your own god". Even "Great Skull Emperor" or "Arrogant" would be better. And use a... grunge sort of font. Or maybe a gothic one. Maybe trying to blend the text with the BG would be good too.
I'm also not fond of the stripes, they don't seem to fit in there. Maybe the grunge alone, or a combination of grunge textures would look better." View

I mean... your friends have NO place in a Bleach gallery, no offense intended. Me, and I guess every Bleach fan out there, want Bleach stuff in our desktops, not your friends.

It's not bad, it's just too overcrowded, yet, too simple. The image quality is pretty good, I must point out, but this looks like a bunch of filters with a not-so-fitting font, and a bunch of images all stumbled one atop the other, that, even if they're in a particular order, they look messy and random.

"Asides from spitting over the Ulquihime thing... it's like akiranyo said. Saying the quality is terrible is being nice. You seriously should consider vectoring, otherwise, this isn't going to work.
Now, if you want to keep that concept, I would suggest removing the central Orihime and the eyes. Keep just the image of the 5th tower, his hand, and if possible, you could add her hand reaching towards him, with the tears in the middle. That's just an idea. I would also suggest to get rid of some "quotes", I'd keep just the "Are you afraid?" dialogue, change the font and place it somewhere else, because it looks pretty random like that.
Of course if I must seriously give my opinion, I'd throw it to the trash can, or keep just Ulquiorra. The world doesn't need anymore Ulquihime (or any Orihime at all). But that's more something personal. No offense intended (except for Orihime)." View

Aizen's True Face
5 months 4 weeks ago
"Wow... so much to be fixed here... Sheesh.
I suppose I have an idea of what you're aiming for. But it is not going to work like this.
First thing that will NEVER work. The scan quality and style is way too different from one to another. From the clean, neat manga drawing at the front, to the ugly Aizen-stabs-Hinamori cut. And most of them are of terrible quality. Actually, all of them are of terrible quality, except for the front one, which draws way TOO MUCH attention towards him, and whatever good quality it may have had, that red silhouette just killed it.
Next thing. There's this person around Session Zero that keeps saying that a good wall doesn't have the same character twice. Usually, I'd say that using two, or even three pictures of the same character is a helpful resource to show "many phacets that a character can have", and that idea suits Aizen perfectly. But I'll have to say that you wasted that resource because there are way TOO MANY Aizens, all of them of terrible quality, with awful blending techniques and really horribly possitioned, making the wall look like an overcrowded piece of copy+paste.
The overall quality is low. The texts look blurry, as well as the blood brush and 99.9% of the pictures.
Using his quotes would make a good idea, but the texts look so randomly positioned, with fonts that just don't fit and colors that don't match at all, that it just helps making the wall look worse. And your signature is way too big. Make it smaller.
To sum up.
1. Choose pics. There are too much. Keep just the essentials. Maybe one of Aizen Taicho and one of Aizen in Hueco Mundo. If it's really necessary, maybe keep the eyes, without the Hitsugaya part. Or keep just the moon insted of the eyes.
2. Quality. Once you chose your pics, vector them. I know it looks difficult, I was eskeptical about it too, but it really improves the quality of your work. And it's not that hard, it just requires a bit of patience.
3. Text. Again, choose just the necessary. The one of the fake body and the one of Hinamori, for instance, seem unnecesary. Change fonts and colors so that it matches with the entire environment.
Good luck on this. I hope my advise is of any use to you
"As pointed out previously, quality is an issue here.
The background makes no sense with the "chemistry between Lelouch and C.C" that you're supposedly trying to catch. Those ugly-green things help making the wall of overall poor quality.
The scan extraction is poor too. The edges look blurry and badly cut.
And my main issue here is that your wall makes me think you're just trying to sell porn. No offense intended. Personally, I don't like the scan that much, 'coz it's the worst kind of fanservice ever invented by mankind, and I like C.C a lot, so having her posing like a prostitute ticks me off a bit. But asides from that, there is no such thing as interaction between C.C and Lelouch, thus not showing the "chemistry" between them. Colors are definitely not suitable to the overall concept. If you wanted something sensual, you should've used more reds and blacks, rather than "rot-food-green". The Geass stands out too much. And if it's "chemistry" you're aiming for, you should get rid of it, for the Geass is the symbol for power and control.
A little tip about the text: On the top of your PS (I'm assuming you're using PS) search for some option that most likely says "None" and change it to "Smooth" that way, the text won't look so grainy. And the name of the series as text is not the best idea with the kind of wallpaper here. You should look for something that relates with what you're trying to show with the wall. Something like "Sexy", "Sensual", "Attraction", "Chemistry". Something like that. Or anything that relates with the wall, just keep in mind that "Code Geass" and "C.C" won't do." View

"I must say that I don't like this wallpaper. I apologize for my bluntness, but I've discovered I can't be nice when criticizing.
Pale background with light colored character doesn't looks good, it lacks contrast, while the character doesn't interact with the background. I do like the white things, though, but that's the only thing.
The dragon needs serious improvement. The extraction is terribly poor and the shadow is too dark, it doesn't match the wall. I think someone else commented that it would look much better if it looked more 'icy', because a metal dragon (that's what it looks like right now) has nothing to do with Hitsugaya.
The Kanji seem to me rather pointless and meaningless. I'd bet that they're randomly placed and that you have no idea of what it says (it's not like I do either, though). I would get rid of them, they make the wall look overcrowded, and their general quality is quite poor, they look very blurry. And if you really want to stick to them, at least put the dragon on top of them and get rid of the shadow. It doesn't look good the way it is right now.
The wall itself is LQ. Hitsugaya and the Kanji's look blurry. And people in SZ can get really annoying about the signature, I'd sugges that you fixed that if you don't want every single person commenting on it.
Sadly, I feel nothing from this wall. It's just... Shiro-chan over some random kanji and an ugly dragon that doesn't really look like Hyorinmaru. It makes no sense to me and I have not the slightest idea of what you're trying to show here." View

"Hello there! This is the person that spent 12 freakin' hours making THAT vector, and that could use some CREDIT for it.
Asides from that, I have no idea of what you did to her, because those are not the original colors, and some seem to be painted with the magic wand rather than modified through Color Adjustments. Though her colors kind of match the BG, the coloring looks very strange. Neither do I know how you managed to get such a horrid extraction, with those white remnants and those color parts outside the lines, when I submitted this without a BG.
I like the textures, but maybe the colors are not the right ones. I would get rid of the "Bleach" text or place it similarly to her name, and the blue and yellow lines are cropped near the border, you may want to fix that. The font doesn't seem to be the right one either
Required signature is there, but is barely visible, let alone readable. I had to squint really hard to see something like "Echo57are"?

"The concept is... decent, not of my particular liking, but it can be worked out.
But the development of said concept is not that good. Required signature is missing, and the resolution is too low.
The background doesn't look like Karakura town. Karakura is not a big New-York-like city, with skyscrapers and huge buildings with a million lights, it is more like a town, a more rural kind of place.
The fractals or whatever they're called seem out of place. They're cool, but they don't really fit the concept.
The black part below the city makes it look more like Rukia is about to crash with a huge picture of a big city. And the wall lacks perspective, though you say she's running to Karakura town, she looks more like floating in the middle of nothing.
Lastly, the background is too eye-catching compared to Rukia, the colors don't really match and she looks really randomly placed there, and too dull compared to those flashy lights" View

"Comments missing. You should explain something about your wall, like what you were trying to represent or show, what you did or the effects you used, etc.
Now, the required signature is missing. The resolution is too low, I'd recommend 1600x1200 as a minimum to give more people the chance to use your wallpaper.
The extraction is poor. The borders of Kaworu are uneasy and terribly cut. If your scan is chopped, you should redraw the missing part or put it to the extreme side of the wall.
The emboss border doesn't look good. The gray wings look of terrible quality and the font for "ME" isn't the most suitable.
The idea is good, but there's a lot to fix there. Quality, to begin with. Everything: the character, background, text and wings have a poor quality. The Background is okay, maybe add something else there.
What bothers me the most is the scan. The quality is horrible, it's all blurry, poor, badly cut... it's a mess. Maybe just fixing that would help A LOT. And wait to see what other people say and take a lot of advice, there is a lot of work to be done before this can be accepted in the main gallery

-Find a better quality scan or extraction, or vector the ones you have if possible (though I understand how hard that is)
-Woek on the background. Do something there, whatever. Make this a wallpaper. Add effects or filters or textures or something. Anything. This is not a wallpaper, but a copy-paste of two badly extracted characters and a plain random BG." View

The squares look cool once you catch the concept of the wall, but at first sight, they reminded me of some discotheque or something.
Maybe if you got rid of the red stripes (this is what I dislike the most of the whole thing, I kind of don't get what they're meant to do) and didn't hide Grimmjow under them, it would look much better.

The Kanji seem to me rather pointless and meaningless. I'd bet that they're randomly placed and that you have no idea of what it says (it's not like I do either, though). I would get rid of them, they make the wall look overcrowded, and their general quality is quite poor, they look very blurry. And if you really want to stick to them, at least put the dragon on top of them and get rid of the shadow. It doesn't look good the way it is right now.
The wall itself is LQ. Hitsugaya and the Kanji's look blurry. And people in SZ can get really annoying about the signature, I'd sugges that you fixed that if you don't want every single person commenting on it.
Sadly, I feel nothing from this wall. It's just... Shiro-chan over some random kanji and an ugly dragon that doesn't really look like Hyorinmaru. It makes no sense to me and I have not the slightest idea of what you're trying to show here."

"I like it! Maybe the filter over Ulquiorra would've looked better with less opacity, but it looks good the way it is.Gods, Ulquiorra's my favorite Bleach character, I miss him so much.
The colors are great, they looks amazing, and the fading effect is also really good.
Lastly, thanks for the credit, not many people remember to do it (insert 'thumbs up' emoticon). I love to see my work being used in amazing walls like this one."

Hello Kon

"There was no need to do that awful distortion to the picture. The original vector was 2300x2100. And it seems like all you did was add the pink background and copy+paste Kon (aside from distorting the picture).There isn't much I can't comment on this because I see nothing here. Just copy+paste. But leaving her cropped and floating above the border doesn't look good, even if it was on purpose."

"Hello there! This is the person that spent 12 freakin' hours making THAT vector, and that could use some CREDIT for it.Asides from that, I have no idea of what you did to her, because those are not the original colors, and some seem to be painted with the magic wand rather than modified through Color Adjustments. Though her colors kind of match the BG, the coloring looks very strange. Neither do I know how you managed to get such a horrid extraction, with those white remnants and those color parts outside the lines, when I submitted this without a BG.
I like the textures, but maybe the colors are not the right ones. I would get rid of the "Bleach" text or place it similarly to her name, and the blue and yellow lines are cropped near the border, you may want to fix that. The font doesn't seem to be the right one either
Required signature is there, but is barely visible, let alone readable. I had to squint really hard to see something like "Echo57are"?
I like the major concept, but you should fix some details and change some others, and specially give CREDIT, if you wouldn't mind."

"The concept is... decent, not of my particular liking, but it can be worked out.But the development of said concept is not that good. Required signature is missing, and the resolution is too low.
The background doesn't look like Karakura town. Karakura is not a big New-York-like city, with skyscrapers and huge buildings with a million lights, it is more like a town, a more rural kind of place.
The fractals or whatever they're called seem out of place. They're cool, but they don't really fit the concept.
The black part below the city makes it look more like Rukia is about to crash with a huge picture of a big city. And the wall lacks perspective, though you say she's running to Karakura town, she looks more like floating in the middle of nothing.
Lastly, the background is too eye-catching compared to Rukia, the colors don't really match and she looks really randomly placed there, and too dull compared to those flashy lights"

"I... don't like it.B&W is definitely the most suitable for Ulquiorra, I don't see any problem there, and the vectoring is outstanding. But the background... it kills the whole thing for me. It's too simple. Unfortunately I can't come up with any kind of advice about it, I simply don't like it. If I didn't know the picture was vectored, I would've thought it's a copy+paste. I don't know, there's just this feeling like... something's missing there"

"You uploaded it too soon. There was still a lot to be done to this. As kuryuki said, the picture looks to random there, it doesn't interact with the background.I really like the background, but the picture looks too plain and simple. This should, indeed, be in the session gallery. It has potential to be a pretty good wallpaper, but it still needs work."

"Comments missing. You should explain something about your wall, like what you were trying to represent or show, what you did or the effects you used, etc.Now, the required signature is missing. The resolution is too low, I'd recommend 1600x1200 as a minimum to give more people the chance to use your wallpaper.
The extraction is poor. The borders of Kaworu are uneasy and terribly cut. If your scan is chopped, you should redraw the missing part or put it to the extreme side of the wall.
The emboss border doesn't look good. The gray wings look of terrible quality and the font for "ME" isn't the most suitable.
The idea is good, but there's a lot to fix there. Quality, to begin with. Everything: the character, background, text and wings have a poor quality. The Background is okay, maybe add something else there.
What bothers me the most is the scan. The quality is horrible, it's all blurry, poor, badly cut... it's a mess. Maybe just fixing that would help A LOT. And wait to see what other people say and take a lot of advice, there is a lot of work to be done before this can be accepted in the main gallery
The blurry border around the character, which I suppose to represent some sort of glow, doesn't help one bit. Try something else, if you want the glow, PS has an especial Glow feature that could be very useful"

"The extraction and general quality of the characters is quite poor. I understand that you like simplicity, but there's a difference between that and an empty spot. I don't get anything from this wallpaper, just two randomly positioned characters with a BG color that doesn't even match.I suggest two things:
-Find a better quality scan or extraction, or vector the ones you have if possible (though I understand how hard that is)
-Woek on the background. Do something there, whatever. Make this a wallpaper. Add effects or filters or textures or something. Anything. This is not a wallpaper, but a copy-paste of two badly extracted characters and a plain random BG."

"Maybe I'm a weirdo but... I don't like the wall at all.The colors over Grimmjow kind of don't match. The lighter circles that I suppose are meant to emphasize something seem out of place. If I hadn't read your description, I would thing the black thing was a city with high buildings, not a Garganta. The squares look cool once you catch the concept of the wall, but at first sight, they reminded me of some discotheque or something.
Maybe if you got rid of the red stripes (this is what I dislike the most of the whole thing, I kind of don't get what they're meant to do) and didn't hide Grimmjow under them, it would look much better.
But as I said, maybe I'm a weirdo, 'coz everyone else says it's awesome. Who knows"

Even a newbie could do exactly the same thing in a matter of minutes. Actually, I gave it a try and it took me around two or three minutes to get almost the same result. And de L borders are blurry."View
