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!
"I loved the concept and the stuff you've put between the character and the blocky background. I'm not sure where you're going with the character though, it kind of looks like she was pixelated or something and you did something to her do make it look decent. And the blocky part of the background kind of looks like those early homepages with horrible backgrounds you couldn't separate from the text. Good attempt though, and I really think this could be great with some revisions." View

"Interesting wallpaper - I really like you've got it in my size! ^^ Nice color and I really like the dragon overlay. The ribbon has some suspicious shading, but the composition I kind of adore." View

"Really like the scribble-like quality to this one, even if it seemed a bit too soft in places. But it's cute and kind of neutral, so it would really look great on my desktop." View

"One of my absolute favorite wallpapers I've found so far. I absolutely love the marble feeling of the image and the warm colors you've used for the background. It challenges my imagination and that's what I want from a wallpaper." View

"Simple, clean and gorgeous. I love what you've done with the character's hair and the contrast the blue makes to the white, gray and black. The only things I don't quite like, is the blue line thingies towards the bottom of the wall - they don't fit with the rest of the image. I think a little less gray in the background could have been good as well - it looks a bit muddy in parts." View

"Love the composition and the general idea of the wallpaper, even though I think the two characters ended up a bit too dark and blurrish. I would have liked them to be far more crisper. As it is, it looks kind of like I'm trying to look at them without my glasses. If I could see anything without my glasses that is." View

"Cute wallpaper! I really like the sharpness of it - I have a thing for clean edges without using thick, black borders. The background looks gorgeous with the rest of the image and I really like how it sort of blends with Supi and contrasts with Kero. Lovely. The only thing I'm not quite happy with is the text - it doesn't fit in well. It looks sort of like the images ended there and you just put in some text to fill out the white. But otherwise I liked it." View

"Lovely color combination you chose there - it fits the wallpaper perfectly. I'm not sure about the sort of border like edge to the left however, and the blending of the character and the background left something to be desired in places. But overall I loved it." View
