Trick or Treat by °chanelqueen17 1 month 2 weeks ago

^nat
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!

Dirty~

1 month 3 weeks ago

"You might want to point out the fact that "Dirty" is also the OP single for Neuro, hence I assume the emphasis. I shan't comment too much about the background since you did a decent job with the flower and all. My main concern would have to be the vector. Advice from one vector artist to another, when faces are concerned, the devil really is in the details. Bringing my focus to the mouth. Ya, comparing the scan and the vector the line drawn is almost the same but that subtle difference completely changed Neuro's facial expression, making the vector look weird. Fix that and you should be fine =D"

"Just so you know, when anyone uploads a decent wallpaper to session zero without a signature or a wallpaper description, it normally means that the wallpaper just got ripped off some other random place and got uploaded here. And thus breaking the very first rule of all wallpapers in AnimePaper that ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE ORIGINAL. I need not say anymore. Please do a better job next time =D"

Harbinger of doom

1 month 3 weeks ago

"Just to echo what was already mentioned above, the character blending and the concept are great but try overlaying some ruins or something in the background since you already have bits and pieces of a slightly visible town in the background. The ruins could make help convey your harbinger of doom message a bit better. And maybe use a less common font? The cursive script is a bit too overused nowadays. Some of the rarer fonts should make the overall image look better."

When Twilight Falls...

"Honestly, you have made me speechless. I still remember how your previous wall look like and I must admit, I'm simply amazed at how much you have improved in these few months. Wonderful work on the background. If I had to pick on anything in your wall, I guess I would have to point out the re-painting of the hair and her left hand. I think the painting could have used a bit more blurring to make the contrast a bit less obvious. And the flowers in the grass looks a bit weird :p. Nevertheless, really really good work. I'd love to see what you make next. "

"Wawawawa...albel! I'm just amazed at how much you improved in such a short time. The painted background is simply stunning. And I'm loving the detail you put into Reimu's hair.

Though I could still find fault in some of the outlines and you could have corrected her hand and her left leg a bit. BUT...without sweating the small details, this wall is really amazing, and fierce.

Let the Good Times Roll

"I'll say the obvious before anyone else has to say it.

Three words...too much white. I don't mind the clean approach I think you are trying to take but honestly, it's way too empty. The whole lot of white makes that wallpaper feel clinical and dead instead of giving of the "happy times" feeling I think I'm supposed to feel.

I would try for a simple patterned background maybe and use the original colours for the four characters on the side."

Zabuza The Demon In The Mist

"Woah...massive overkill...

Simply put, these kinds of collages are often too busy and distracting (to point out a bit for ~Gvnkwyr). Either way, the focus really is all over the place. I can't really focus on the background or the foreground separately.

My suggestions:
1) Get a higher res/better quality background layer. Even thru the distracting foreground, I can see how pixelated the background image is.

2) Cram in a lot more image if you want the desired effect. I'm not entirely certain what you are trying to do, but if you are going to try to make something like James Blunt's "All the Lost Souls" album cover (just google it if you don't know what I mean), you are going to need A LOT more pictures. If not, I suggest you take ~Gvnkwyr's advice and focus on the ones you like.

3) Stick to one are style in your images. I didn't even really have to look but I saw a manga scan, some fan art and even a chibi among your predominantly anime style selection of images. Honestly, stick to one art style. The different art styles will just stick out off the entire collage in a bad way.

Hope this helps..."

Sexy girl

"Well for starters I guess, these kinds of wallpapers are a dime a dozen. I would think the model serves less as a centrepiece and more of a distraction from the fact that we have seen these kind of wallpapers everywhere else on the net.

I mean I could break down the wallpaper into 3 steps:
1) Gradient background
2) Paste vector
3) Brush, brush, brush
3.5) Maybe a filter or two, just for kicks

Work that could be easily done with 15 minutes of deviantArt surfing for the brushes and another 15 minutes on the 3 steps mentioned above.

My opinion, unless you can pull off something with this wallpaper the could WOW people who look at it, I would suggest going for a better concept. This style of wallpaper is simply just too overused"

[FINAL] Ryoko Asakura

5 months 1 week ago

"IMHO you really shouldn't upload this wallpaper yet. It would most likely get thrown out due to lack of image quality. You can tell just by looking at the Asakura's outlines.

I also don't like the placement of the text and the design. Too close to the edge. Also need to be more visible.

And the colour contrast between the background and Asakura is a bit much methinks."

Task No.452 Recitation Session

5 months 1 week ago

"Honestly, for the most part it looks like something that got thrown out off MS Paint. The banner is flat and really badly done, the audience look weird (i mean, why blue of all colours) and you just slapped a 2D vector on a 3D background (I have personal vendetta against this kind of mistake for obvious reasons). The speech bubble became a thought bubble and the choice of font is really bad.

As for way to improve, firstly, re-work the banner completely. Give it some detail, shadows, what have you. Make the Excalibur vector more "3D" as well. And use real people as the audience, maybe?"

"I won't mention the perspective problems again since I already commented about them before and $KakashiM also said his piece. So I'll just point out the other stuff. Firstly, I'm not quite following the shadows on the bed in the left and center mirrors. I mean how do shadows appear IN FRONT of the legs?

Then also some of the outlines in the hair are spilling over if you know what I mean. The colours on the door are still off. And the blue thing in the left mirror looks a bit off colour (unless that brownish thing on the right is supposed to be reflection, in which case I would suggest that you make that a bit clearer).

I like the textures you put on the lion doll but the textures on the bed are just not working. Too repeated. The texture would need to follow contours of the bed linen if you are going to put it there in the first place.

About the blur effect, I took at the original scan and I saw that the blur effect is actually not a "blur" effect per se but rather a frosting effect, like how you exhale on cold glass. So a tinge of white would help with the effect but don't blur the mirror FRAME 'coz that doesn't make sense anymore. And as $KakashiM said, more of it would be nicer.

You might want to put some subtle shadowing details on the bedposts. And the mirror frames as well. Maybe your could emulate the light reflection effects as well.

Thats all I would say this time round. Good luck with the progress."

Selecao

"The first thing I would point out is that your vector is blur. Or rather it looks to water coloured. Use more black outlines. You might also want to use another font for the quotes. And I'm not exactly sure if you should use two picture overlays for your background. I think just using one (either the one from the anime or the one with the birds). You should also re-vector some of the Selecao icons. Some of them are a bit blur."

Emotions

"Well...I'm glad you found one person who likes you work. Because this is the part where I break down any false sense of appeal you may have for your wallpaper (and don't take this personally, I'm just being cruelly frank).

In a sentence, all the problems I have with this wallpaper can be simplified to a single question, why?

Why the weird font? Why the weird patterns in the weird font? Why the annoying glass refracting effect? Why the random shadow effects on the text? Why the random choice and placement of pictures? Why the awful colour choice? Why the feathering effect? Why the random glow effects?

I'll be brutally honest. I can't find a single thing in this wallpaper that's good. The thing that destroys the wallpaper the most is the stupid glass effect. I see absolutely no point in that. I apologise for being mean (for the lack of a better word I can use in public) but that's the way it is."

Who am I?

6 months 1 day ago

"Firstly, I think you median/noise-ed the bricks a bit too much. It makes Lelouch stand out too much. And for the text on the right, either blend it into the wall or put a shadow to make it stand out. Right now its neither here nor there. The Lelouch pic on the wall might look better if it was somehow graffiti-ed on but I personally have no idea how you could pull that off. Some other random graffiti on the wall (just don't make it stand out too much) would help with the effect. Lastly, the lighting effects on the foreground Lelouch are completely off. You need to play around with the lighting and shadows a bit so that he fits in with the background.

But the things I would like to commend you on. The detail on the wall is really nicely done and besides the over median/blotchy feel, its really nice. A little more and this wall be an awesome wall! "

Call her Little Washu...

"To state the obvious, like most other people would also probably point out, isn't it a bit plain? I looked at your earlier wall and I must commend you on its sleek design. But for this, as you mentioned, its based on a manga cover. Problem is that a manga cover is not appealing enough (for me at least) to be a wallpaper.

Some form of shadowing effect here and there would probably help. Maybe even some text if you please. And please PLEASE bigger resolution.

But anyhow, I would also like to say that the wall is at least tastefully done despite its plainess. Good work. (^)"

Raining Love.

6 months 1 day ago

"Ok. First things first. To bring you up to speed on how AP works, I strongly suggest you look up FAQ (esp. the wallpaper section). Then you would at least know what every wallpaper needs (signature, etc, etc). That would really help you a lot before you jump in any further into AP.

Next onto the wallpaper itself. While AP still accepts 1024x768, you will always ALWAYS have people tell you that it is too small a res. And it is. Where most people have kick-@$$ monitors with at least 1920x1600 resolution.

Secondly, there really is not much to talk about the wallpaper. It's plain and sloppy. I could do it in under 10 minutes. The crop quality of the picture is bad. And at very least you could re-cg the rain away. The text also doesn't fit in. All in all, it's like showing an untastefully written introductory paragraph to a stranger and asking for advice on writing a novel. It's physically impossible unless you expect other people to do all the work for you.

But lastly, the thing that ticks me off the most is probably the fact that you fail to explain to anyone about the wallpaper. Your artist's comments box is completely blank. If you have any pride whatsoever in your work, you would have at least written something down. Maybe you're getting used to the interface or whatever. I don't know. It's probably not your inability to read English because somehow this wallpaper found its way here. Anyhow, we can't actually help you until you help us help you first."

Temptation

6 months 2 weeks ago

"Pointing out a few things, the outline of your vector is angular and squarish at a lot of places so you might want to smoothen that out. Plus the outline is a bit thick for taste since the vector is so big and so in your face. And the outlines are a bit jagged for my taste as well (I prefer more pointy lines) (^3^) emoticon

And do correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the hair and eyebrow around the right eye a bit wrong? The brow is missing a bit in the centre and the hair got chopped off (or maybe that's her hair style, I honestly can't remember).

The ear needs a little more detail too. And the cracks look more like spider webs to me (especially the top-right there)

The background is quite beautiful but lacks the depth of feel. I would suggest making it a bit darker or lowering the opacity. That would accommodate the butterflies better (which btw I think should not fly flat like that). And I can see your moon through your shrine building as well.

Lastly, the title suggests "Temptation" but the expression that she has is more of boredom more than anything (granted she has no clothes on but still...)"

Mirror of Fate

"I'm a bit sorry to say this but isn't there a general perspective problem to the entire wallpaper? The non-reflected image is viewed for a top-downish angle yet the reflected images and the mirrors are at a near horizontal angle. So I'm not quite sure how the original perspective is viewed like (i.e. where I would have to stand if I were to see a similar perspective in reality).

That aside, your walls could use some textures/details. I used to have similar problems when vectoring walls. Walls/floors/etc should not have just one colour. It's a finer detail but maybe you could burn/dodge the wall a bit when it's all done.

The perspective of the door is a bit weird as well. I also can't quite visualise the way the mirrors are positioned or the location/position of the wall behind the mirrors.

The colours of each reflected image all differ from each other as well as the real image. For example (with respect to the real image)
1st mirror - hand (under-saturated), shirt (more blue), vest (more gray)
2nd and 3rd mirror - legs (a little over-saturated), skirt [like around the dark stripes] (a little darker)

You should also remember some more shadow detail (e.g. under the lion, under the legs on the actual bed, the door [around the handle], shadow of mirror under Saber's legs in left mirror)

It's a bit hard to judge the size of the room based on the reflections off the mirrors. The room seems a bit too small. Maybe you could try vectoring the corners of the room into the reflection of the mirrors and maybe give the objects in the reflection some depth perception.

I also can't quite tell what the brown thing in the background of the left-most mirror is (a waredrobe maybe?). As for other things you could put into the room, I'm not a girl so I don't really know what a girl's room really looks like but I would expect quite a bit more furniture (bookshelves, drawers, maybe a study table, a phone?)

As for your problem of finding a perspective of real life object, my advice is to just take the picture yourself. Grab a mirror and snap photos till you can get it right.

One final note. More like a disclaimer. I should apologise if I overstepped boundaries. I have a bad habit of doing that XD. Anyways...the wallpaper is eye-catching to say the least, concept-wise. It may not be the awesome wallpaper you're hoping for yet but it surely has the potential to be that. I look forward to how the new version would come out like."

hollow within

6 months 2 weeks ago

"If you gonna keep to the expression-less concept, I would suggest you try to up the texture quality of the vectors. Maybe some shadow detail? Not sure how that might come out though. But for the hollow ichigo at very least, give his mid-section, arms and hair some more detail. The vectors all look too flat.

The background could use a more grunge-ish feel, to keep up with the text and the general feel of the wallpaper.

You might also want to consider thicker outlines for the vectors. And I think there's a small error on the small ichigo's vector (slightly above his nose area and the back part of his hair).

You also should change the background colours a bit so that the vectors stand out more (e.g. I can't see the outline of Rukia's hair and some parts of the hollow's sleeve blend right into the bg.

Overall, a really nice concept. But it's still lacking a lot of the impact that a wall like this should have. Needs more grunge. Too plain."
