The amount of patience, hard work and an eye for quality is what defines this wallpaper. Character is painstakingly vectored off a real life toy image with references to screenshots. Despite the difficulty level, ~pvc24 still manages to nicely depict the image in anime fashion and yet able to find the mental strength to come up with a background composition that is both aptly fun and pleasant in atmosphere.
I guess if you like looking at pixelated and fragmented images that is true. i, however, don't. @andy: AG's on a narrow band connection, so games some games might be a little too much for the connection... right AG?
"Mm, I would like to see you do a little better with the use of the feathers. In the upper left corner they are too uniformly spaced and I think the wallpaper doesn't look as good as it could because of that. In fact, if you where to simply remove the 5 feathers in that area, I believe that would probably do. Other than that however, you've done quite a nice job making this I'd say. Thanks very much."

"Quite a nice wallpaper, you've done some great work here. I would like to see more depth and perspective added to the clouds as to make it look as though the sea where stretching farther into the horizon, but all in all, very well done! thanks." View

Suggestions are: I made a few notes on the image that should help, and you might also want to blend the type more for their names." View

"Quite a beautiful wallpaper, nicely done!
I've a couple small suggestions, but that's all. One, adding some more clouds to the top right of the planet may be a good thing to try. Two, try to blend the sig more, it stands out too much as is." View

"Quite a good start I'd say :)
Suggestions are: First you should use an image cleaning trick on the scan. Duplicate the image of characters, apply a Gaussian Blur filter set at around 4.0 to the duplicate, set the layer blending mode to Overlay, then adjust the levels and saturation of the layer until it looks as you want it to.
My second suggestion is for the background. I think it might be a good idea to try something with circles. Not only would it probably work better for the layout/design, but it would match the Soul Link logo too. Also, try not to rely as much on the stock photo; if you use one, add some brushes and effects to it as well.
Best wishes,
Trace" View

"Mm, it looks mis-matched. There's all that jumble of vector brushes, then the gray gradient, then the stark black and white. From a layout perspective, it looks sloppy and too fastly done. I'd suggest taking some more time to work with it in that way.
Also of note, there's quite a lot of assailing issues. In the jumble of vector brushes it's very apparent. Also present in 4 of the 6 circle/crests. Most noticeably in the upper right and left hand side ones (where the white circle's border is also in error btw), but also in the lower right and left hand ones to a lesser extent.
Still, all in all, it's a good start and I wish you well finishing it." View

"The extraction on the scan could use some more attention, I see some white flack still there. Try selecting those areas with the lasso tool and using the image adjustment features in PhotoShop to blend them in with the background. Other than that (and wishing it where available in higher screen resolutions), it'd say it's quite a beautiful wallpaper, well done! :)" View
