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!
Go to Candy Mountain instead Bantam... @~virus: yes, I will be very pleased with myself after everything is cooked, but I am just so tired of doing it lol
"The vector is nice, but [like most of your walls] this is boring. There's too much focus on Anemone, which wouldn't be so bad if the background wasn't so plain. However, the textures you used aren't enough to balance the gigantic vector. If you want to play around with textures, play with the opacity of the textures over certain parts of the vector, or change the fill from "normal" to something else, like "overlay" or soft light." These are just some suggestions, but hopefully you'll experiment some more." View

"It's very well done, but the teeth distract me from the rest of the wall. I know they're true to the original scan, but canine teeth don't point in like hers do. This throws off her entire mouth, making her top row of teeth look much more narrow than the bottom row. Also, I don't think the title fits, as she doesn't appear to be screaming, just holding her mouth open or maybe trying not to stick out her tongue. You made a good choice on keeping the background simple and the hair is astounding. Nice job." View

"The colors are great but in some places it's glaringly obvious the image was only cleaned and is still grainy. It might have been better to vector it so it matches the smooth shapes of the background, or else have the texture in more of the shapes so it meshes better with the image. Nice work." View

"This is really cute and I love the texture. There are two things that are odd to me. The katakana, as previously mentioned, needs revision. It's not about matching the letters, it's about matching the sounds. Also, the angle of her legs in relation to her body looks as though she should be leaning against something, but there's nothing there. Were she a real person, I would expect her to fall over immediately. Just something to think about for the future. Nice job." View

You did such a nice job on your vector, why cut corners with a pathetic background? The background is your place to shine as an artist!" View

"I'm not a big Naruto fan, but this looks awesome. I'm glad you took my advice on the rib cage's outline; it looks much better this way. Given that the light would come from the fire which mostly looks to be behind him, I'd say you're right to keep him pretty dark, but perhaps add a slight highlight to his chin since his sword has a little bit of fire to it as well. Great work!" View

"Typically when you upload another copy of a wall it's because you've changed something about it. This is exactly the same as the previous version! As such, I will copy and paste my comment here again.
The background needs work. Those black specks all over the place don't help. If you're worried that the background is too empty, try a different style since the iPod walls are typically empty. The Apple logo definitely has to go. This isn't a corporately-endorsed wall, so the logo shouldn't be there. The magic circle also looks strange, but I can't tell if it's because it needs work or because of the background specks. The font doesn't fit with this wall, either. If you look at other iPod-style walls, you'll see the font is simple. The idea behind the iPod commercials is something simple and clean, for the most part. The character silhouette also needs something done. As it is now, it's lumpy and misshapen and could be anyone's silhouette. As PaoPorsche suggested, use a full-body silhouette so the viewer can identify the character. Instead of the background you have now, use one color without the black specks or edges, and try making the magic circle bigger and using it in the background. Keep the character off-center and the font simple. Good luck.
These ideas are now in two places. Play around with some of these suggestions before you upload this wall again." View

"This is interesting. You did a nice job replicating the style of Klimt's artwork and your vector is nice, but then you ruined it with a big splash of blood that looks like it's hovering over the wall or is on a flat surface rather than being on Lucy's hands. The shadow cast by her hand also looks strange, given that the light source doesn't leave a highlight anywhere on her body. The shadow on her right arm is just wrong. If her left hand is meant to be directly on top of the right there would be no shadow. Redo your shadows and add some highlights as well.
Your vectoring skills have improved quite a bit since you started, but I think you're limiting yourself by only working with one series. Don't be afraid to branch out." View

"This is a neat concept, but the execution is lacking. The character vector is amazing, clear and crisp. The cage, however, is fuzzy. Adding a hint of the bottom of the cage wouldn't hurt, either. The character has some really nice colors in it, blues and greens, but you only used a dusky orangey color in the background. The problem with that is the character doesn't match and stands out too much from the rest of the wall. Also, as others have said, the character looks strange to be standing on the bar in the cage, particularly as she isn't holding on to anything to steady herself. I think going back and making a few changes wouldn't be a bad idea in this case." View

"I agree with Sheila-Ng. The images on either side are a bit hard to figure out at first just because they're so grainy. Also I don't think it would hurt if we could see the lines of the Lelouch vector a little bit clearer, since that's meant as the main focus of the wall. Finally, I know it's been a while since television channels actually came in with just static or "snow," [and I know I sound old to point this out] but the grains [for lack of a better term] were much larger than they are in your wall. Think like rice and ants for something a little more accurate." View

"What a beautiful vector! I like the idea of having her sitting on a map while she's also looking at one, but it's glaringly obvious that the map she's sitting on is a stock. She looks like a sticker put over a piece of paper. Try and find a way to make the character and the background blend together a bit more. I don't particularly care for the top half of the background. It's too empty [and just white! Why just white?!] with only a few buildings in the background. Try a different color to give it more feeling and add more buildings to break up the emptiness. Finally, I don't think you need the series logo in the corner. It's a cheap way to fill space and I think it would look better without it." View

Currently their quality is well below where it should be for a wall at AP. You'll also need to jazz up the background somehow. Look for some scenic scans to work with to create a good background, or mess around with creating an abstract one. As it is, a black square with a silvery border won't cut it. You'll also need to work on the color choice for your signature because black on dark colors is unreadable. Use something with more contrast. Also, you don't need to list the series name on the wall.
