Fly... by °Phill 1 month 4 hours ago

This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Death Note Wallpaper

1 month 2 days ago

"It's a very good wall. Maybe if You didn't use the same scan twice...
And why is that "II" there? Death Note 2?

I think it's ready for submission. But just to be sure, wait for someone else's opinion. ;)"

"I don't know if You used a texture on him or the scan was already like that, but it doesn't look good. Since he "pops out" of the BG I think it would be better to have a clean look.

I agree with soft-meanie, why have You used a notebook as a BG (it looks like a page of a notebook)? The colors, the brushes they just don't fit into the image. It doesn't need to be violent, but the way it is now... just doesn't feel right.

Oh, and there are some colored dots on his hair on the right side."

"I have this same problem but only with one wall.
This one.

The wall doesn't load. I click the link that says I should click if the wall doesn't load then I get an error from Firefox saying "the page could not be loaded because it contains errors". I tried it with IE and then instead of this message I got this: DDv (my username).

I didn't reach any downlaod or leecher limit, because I am able to download other walls.
I'm clueless.

Oh and the link where I got the error message is this:
http://www.animepaper.net/collect/wallpapers/78479/1280x960/1600x1200/8ef5e3c1e3555a1a29a9f565b6ad606c456c49ac/%5BAnimePaper%5Dwallpapers_Soul-Eater_CinnamoonAkia(1.33)_1600x1200_78479.png

There are two things in it that bother me:
1. /1280x960/1600x1200/ (?)
2. .png (I thought only jpg is accepted...)

I tried to delete /1280x960/ (I wanted the 1600x1200 wall.) Then I got the same error as with IE (My nick)...

I'm really clueless..."

"The rules say one wall per thread.

I don't know why they were all rejected. They aren't bad at all. Maybe You used the wrong category when You submitted them?
(Or did I misunderstand You and You haven't tried submitting them yet?)"

"The bg looks like a painting (but it needs a bit more work for this impression). Sairenji looks like a drawing. A drawing on a painting? This what I tried to tell You. And I think it could be fixed by fixing the shading/lighting/colouring.
And You should definitely get rid of the border.

You have only 3 things to do:
1. fix Sairenji
2. improve the bg
3. get rid of the border (and new sig?)

With these the wall will be ready for submission.
Good luck!"

"The resolution (800x600) doesn't meet the minimum requirement and I see no signature.
The second line of the text doesn't feel right there. Why is that black stripe there? What's that big blue thingy he's crouching on?

It's not bad. ;)"

"Not bad, not bad at all. This could be a very nice wall if finished.

A few things:
You need to work more on her. Look at the edges (mostly) around her hair and clean them. The coloring also needs more work. The cahracter doesn't blend with the wall the way it is now. Try to fix the lighting/shading on her hair, that should fix it imo.
And two minor things. Isn't she call Sairenji? You wrote Sarenji.
And the other thing: What's that?

I forgot. Why's the grey border?"

"Then please be aware that You won't be able to submit this wall here on AP. You need the source of the wall (anime, artist, etc).

I liked the original idea more.
You can see extractions flaws that remained from the pink background all around her. The background itself is still too simple."

"Much too simple.
No background at all.
The stripes are a good idea, but they need a lot more work. Just like the entire wall.
(Essentially You extracted(?) a character, put it on an empty bg then drew some "thick lines".)
Do You even know where is the character from?


Btw, could some please tell me why do I see this:
Topics: 0
Posts: 0

under last's name? This happens quite often here in Session Zero."

"No AP for a day...

Believe it or not, I liked the previous version more.
I agree that she seems more flat now. And her head is very strange after the previous vector, her face is wider. It looks like as if You'd have vectored another image. This isn't bad, I just need to grow accustomed to it.
I'd get rid of the pink hearts with the current bg. And yeah, it seems more(?) random now.

There are some more things but my time is very limited. I'll check back later in the night. Besides, I think CrimsonCyanide can guide You better than me.



But why? Why did You have to change that "tiled stripe"? It was one of the best points of the wall (in my eyes). T.T

You're progressing very nicely. Keep it up! ;)"

"I will. But I have no time currently. Plus, I don't like walls that simply look good. I want some deeper meaning. I'm planning a wall after finals are over. ;)

Back to Your wall. The resolution isn't 1600x1000, is it?
I'd make "PUNK MASTER!"' more visible, the same goes for the heartsl (but the latter is only my rersonal preference). I think You overdid the guitars a little. That "thing" at the bottom saying "Rock" isn't needed, imo. And the shoulder strap still feels wrong.

Less skulls more hearts. It'll be more "punk-ish".
And You could improve the smoke a little bit.
Tut1, Tut2

It's almost finished now. :)"

"I know that her hand is on her waist, but she doesn't have that big of a hand. It would make only a slight difference that You could disregard, imo.

Anyway, what's the original resolution? Could You please post the ful wall?
Something in the BG bothers me."

"The full pic is much more useful... ImageShack allows pics up to 1.5 MB. Imagevenue's limit is 3MB.

Just as I thought. Compared to the scan she looks more "angular". Look at her fingers for example. Did You do this on purpose?

The guitar. I think it shouldn't be in that position. Her pose is very different on those two scans. The guitar shouldn't be leaning "backwards" (towards the bg). It should be more like in a frontal plane. Like here:
User posted image
(If You could vector this guitar and replace the current one that should help.)

One more thing. The shoulder strap on the right doesn't seem to "connect".

(I hope this last part about the guitar was comprehensible.)

Nice work btw. :)"

"That musical note is very lonely. He needs friends. ;) You should fix the skulls. If You compare them with the hearts You'll see the problem.
The wall became sort of chaotic and not abstract.

"Blood? Why is that there? Punks aren't that violent. :P
Vectoring the skulls sounds good. I understand that You wanted to add more things to the wall, but arrows? Oh well, they're kind of neutral so it's ok, I guess.
The colours aren't the best now. I think this is because of the blood...

And the guitar is still a sheet of paper.

Sleep well! :)"

"Those hearts aren't that "emo-ish" at all. The punk visual culture uses pink-black contrast often.

I still think You need to work on the shading. Here's a good tutorial: cell shading"

Will This Wallpaper Pass Inspection?

"No, it won't.
It's just a collection of a few pics with no concept at all.

800x500? It's under the minimum acceptable resolution.

"Maybe this will help with the visuals: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_visual_art

British flag and Haruhi? Nah, I don't think so.
The black nails was a good idea. An SOS tattoo is ok, but not with it's original colours. Make it black and white, imo.
Blue, white, red. It would go well with the British flag, but I'd make a more darker wall. Dark blue/black/dark red. Maybe. But nothing white.

I think there are (at least) two options for the visuals of the wall. A darker punkish wall (my suggestion) and a brighter punkish wall (Your idea?). The darker one can easily turn into a goth wall so You have to be careful there. Which one do You prefer?"

"First, it's senpai and not sempai.

Haruhi looks plain, flat. She needs better shading. The cigar's smoke isn't "smoke-like" at all. The guitar seems to be made out of a sheet of paper.
The entire wall is too empty. I see no signature. And the resolution (1600x1000) is not acceptable.

There's much work to do here."

"I didn't meant just the pupils, but the whole eyes. And they are close enough, You don't need to move them closer.
What I'm trying to say is that she could be staring at the blood and not out of the wall.
I think it would be better that way."
