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!

"Teehee, this wallpaper makes me feel special *points to username* even though it otherwise has nothing to do with me, lol. It's such a romantic wallpaper XD I like how you tilted the scan, and the background colors suit the scan really much. I like how it gets dark at the bottom. I would prefer the wallpaper without the heart though, as I feel it's a bit distracting and it's kind of like pointing out the obvious X)"

"Dochan!! Great painting, and I really like the lines! This makes a really pretty wallpaper~ Though I think the wing would be more "wow" if it didn't share the same colors as the background. I also think that the shape of the wing is a bit boring for the amount of space it's taking up, but I don't know what other shape it can be X) Anyway, great job!

The light is so perfectly over her nipples, haha! And her mouth is so alluring 8()*"

"Congrats for your first wallpaper on AP! I like the design of the background and the colors! It's also interesting how she's sideways. The quality of the scan is a bit low though. The scan is grainy, and the type of texture that is on her (the graininess) is not the same as the background, so she doesn't fit into the background well (she's not blending). She is also a bit blurry compared to the rather sharp-looking BG. One way to make her blend more into the background rather than looking like a separate image is to add texture(s) on top of everything. There are also some more parts of the scan that should be cut out as well, like the white parts by her bangs. Still, good wallpaper!"

"Woo, I love the background; it's so cool! I gotta save this so that I can use your BG for reference some time XD! But while I love the BG, I don't like the the effects on the character (and his slightly lifeless face ><). I would prefer him to be normally-colored and pop out, because I don't think the gradient on him works well with the background. And I also just always prefer characters to stand out, haha."

"Her pose is perfect for a wallpaper and the background you have, hehe. It's a pretty scene |(C_C)| emoticon

The vector is smooth, but as already mentioned, the lines widths are too uniform. Actually, her uniform looks good for the most part, but her hair looks like it's roughly traced. If the hair lines were thinner and had more variation in width, the hair would look more like it's light and flowing.

Also, I think thinner lines for her whole outline would help to blend her more into the background, as the cartoonish look clashes with the detailed background (with thin tree branches) and thus takes away some of the prettiness. If possible, more detail in the coloring of the character would help to blend too.

Lastly, I think the text should be white with thin, pink outlines, and the font should be more elegant to match the wallpaper. It seems a bit plain as it is, and the pink seems too dull. But overall, good job :)"

"Wow, that is nice hair! And I like the bridge of his nose, lol. His head looks quite realistic, so I don't think there should be any outlines for the hands. If you added more highlights (and maybe more shading) to the hands, I think that allow them to have depth with minimal outlines.

Now, the background seems kind of random to me. The small and detailed floral designs clash with the big and plain rays, and the flowers only seem to be blooming from his shoulder up. For a detailed character, I think it's best to use small designs in the background and not have anything that is bold or distracting (like the rays) so that the character stands out (the colors generally shouldn't be brighter than the character). And the direction of the rays makes his pose look awkward, like's he's floating. Since he's lying down, I think that the rays should be in an angle that looks like he's lying on top of them. Personally, I think that the ray background rarely looks good or works well with characters.

I also don't like the placement of Reita; he seems to be suddenly cut and preference is placed on the rays. The image you vectored was probably cut at that place, but I don't think it looks good with so much background. I hope I don't seem mean! Just trying to help~"

Scent of the flowers

7 months 4 days ago

"Aw, this shade of blue and the darkness matches Wolf's Rain's mood really much, at least from what I've seen in the 8 episodes that I've watched, haha. Anyway, the design of this wallpaper is interesting, and I really like the texture! The idea is cool too, but I think Kiba's face is too hostile. The scent is supposed to be a good thing, right? Or maybe not? Lol?

And although I like the of brushes here, I don't think there should be any brush design on Kiba. I think that's just a personal preference though, hehe. See, I feel that he should kind of pop out of the wallpaper since he's running and is the main focus. I also think the brush takes away from the depth. But overall, you did a good job on this wallpaper!!"

"Ah cute wallpaper! I love the bright colors and the cute clouds. I think you paint pretty well!

Oh, it doesn't matter what's "in"!! All art methods have their unique and good aspects, but I don't believe any one is more superior. Whether it's vectoring or painting, you still need to have skills to do it well, and people respect both mediums. I also think vectoring is more popular just because most anime scans tend to be more vectorable, haha."

"*drops jaw and screams unintelligible words* This is so amazing! The lighting and the guy's hair are my favorite parts! It's really cool that you have a recognizable style. I was like, hey, that awesomeness looks like sjade1's work!! Ah so lovely~ But I think the wall would be a lot more powerful without Yuki(?) in the background XD

"Congrats on your first wallpaper! And nice teamwork!

I'm loving the tone (colors) of this wallpaper. And it's so cute! I really like how the clouds are painted while the characters are vectored and then there's a stock in the BG! So interesting! I don't really like paper texture, but I do think it looks good here. A solid-colored BG would have been just fine for me though, haha. Fav!"

fantasy no. 4 - Mirror

"Indeed, they translated Yoshitaki Amano's style pretty well *wipes drool* I don't know much about this game though, haha. Anywho, I really like this wallpaper and the concept! The wall is clean and the effects on the IV are cool! However, I think the Final Fantasy words need to be bigger so that they can balance all that's going on in the middle. I also think that if the outline of the words were removed, it would blend more with the background. They look good with the outlines, but it confuses the the depth for me. It's like they're floating in front of the person and his other form even though they are just words, haha.

Speaking of the characters, I thought that the paladin version would be in front but I noticed that his hand and cape is actually behind the scary one, hahah. Maybe there needs to be a bigger size difference or a distance between the two so that the depth is clearer.

And lastly, I just think the moons should be silver to better match the cool-colored clouds XD Overall though, I really like what you've done! fav!

"You are my idol. Please to drop some of your skills and let me sneak by and pick them up.

If you didn't already have a highlighted wallpaper, I would have requested this to be highlighted. But you are already well known now so I can't, hehe. I really love the way you use colors, and your mixture of painting and vectoring is so OMG! And Miyu here is so beautiful~ I think this is one of my most favorite wallpapers on here! There's just one little thing that I want to mention and it's that her mouth looks a bit like it's floating. Maybe if the edges were softer, it would look more natural?

"This would be a really beautiful wallpaper if it wasn't so blurry! I don't think the blurriness works for this image because the colors are quite dark and soft/blurry scenes are generally lightly colored.

On the whole, I think you did a good job on extending the scan! But I do see some areas that are noticeably cloned, like the flower-thingy to the left. Lastly, I think it would look more natural if the plants at the side didn't go down in such a smooth diagonal. Having them more jagged could help to balance the 2 sides of the wallpaper."

I really like how there's so much texture, yet the wallpaper is really soft. The only thing that's bugging me is the bullet background, because I don't like the uniformness with the rainbow-y flow on the side. LOL, I find it really funny that no matter how hard I want to continue looking at the girl, my eyes roll to the bullets!"

"This is a really cool idea and I like the designs around the Lulu (I notice the "the" but I don't want to delete it because I hate him lol). His tilt is also really interesting. I think his face is too soft for your idea though. I think he should look kind of intimidating since he is so dark. It's a shame that he doesn't have the evil look here like he does in a lot of other pictures, haha. But still, good job on the wall! "

Oh my, I love the colors of the background! It feels so plant-fresh/springy~ And I think this makes a great wallpaper. The details just keep my eyes busy. I would just prefer less texture on their skin, hehe.

"Oh, very interesting way to use that image! I never expected to see it in a modern/stylish wallpaper. It's also interesting that he's in a painted style and your background is in a vector style. But while I think the large text is cool, it's really overpowering the boy who looks like he's supposed to be the focus (because he's in front) and that's kind of confusing/distracting for me. He's also detailed, so he really seems to be the focus of the wall. Maybe the text would seem more like the focus if he was silhouetted? Anyway, it's still a cool wallpaper!"

"Wow, this wall is so mood-ful, lol! The colors/coloring and the cropped butler (lol) really create a sense of darkness. I really like it, haha. And I like the textures too. The kid (lol, sounds disrespectful) looks like he was water reflections on him. Really cool. My only complaints are that the lines are somewhat jagged in the largest resolution and that I think the darkened part of the boy's face should be turned into an eyepatch if the freaky-eye-glow is left out. But then again the latter part I mentioned doesn't really matter because it does look OK as it is.

"Congrats for your 50th wall on AP!

What a lovely mix of textures and brushes! That and the colors are really Spring-y~ I like that you stripped her made her more "natural" to match the BG too! Or no wait, you made the BG after the vector, so... I... just like how they complement each other, haha.

I think Red Garden's character designer(s) went a little too far in trying to make them look unique, and I don't like the distracting noses. But I think you've helped to bring out this girl's beauty for me! Fav~

Oh, and that site you linked, I must check it out!"
