StellarXInochi's wallpaper is a beautiful piece of art combined with excellent design and an outstanding concept. The soft, yet bright colors create a fairytale-like atmosphere, and the water-color-like execution meets a successful typograhy and makes the wallpaper something special.

"W00t!very good, nice ideas there :D
And i dont mind you being wordy, it's better than just saying 'mkay s'good '. good post :D
I'll consider yer suggestions and try some of it. As for Rena's arm, hehe well that's how the scan was...i didnt even notice and as for the skirt that i had to recg parts of, hmm I don't know since i'm not an expert in anime clothing XD can't i just get away with saying "oh ehh...it's the wind..y.eah that's it >_> i cant deny the forces of nature, nope sir.." XD erm feel free to show me how you would see that part of her skirt redone (just take the WIP and splotch on it rofl), also i can't really simulate the way it's painted >_< i tried my best any suggestions there? i just couldn't get that edge i did everything from erasing, smudging, applying filters, erasing again etc...

Wii, Xbox 360 or PS3 ?
4 months 2 weeks ago
"PS3, Wii, Xbox360 for me...Well I must admit that the PS3 is expensive but the price did get reduced several times and you can now get the 40GB Model at a VERY reasonable price (I just say, Blu-Ray Player for that money? they're practically tossing that at you). plus the PS3 can also serve as a Media Hub where you can stream vids/music etc from your pc to the ps3 and onto a tv screen (that's for the multimedia geeks around here :P) and the W-LAN function is works really great (downloading demo's is really fun
I also like the XMB (CrossMediaBar) it's really easy to navigate and intuitive and it's snappier than the menusystem on the Xbox360.
Also the reason why I bought a PS3 are several games that are coming out for it like the new Final Fantasies, MGS4, GTAIV, Devil May Cry 4 (bah they went multi platform but bleh, Dante's home is the playstation :P). Heavenly Sword and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune are THE jewels out there for the PS3 IMO. And publishers will start to use the PS3 at it's best to bring out best Performance and Graphics, though a good game doesn't need good graphics but a good story and an addictive gameplay and a good replay value.
If I wanted to play online, I'd use the PC and not the Xbox360 (and it even costs contrary to PC, PS3). And it also does not have the games that I'm looking forward too (Whut? Halo3? I don't give a damn cause it's just not interesting...I liked the multiplayer though when I was at a friends house) All the games that have a huge success on XBox360 seem to be FPS, I'm more of an RPG dude so the ps3's for me.
Now to Wii: It's a great console and does not need to be compared to the XBox360 and PS3. It's just fun to play Mario Party and other things with you friends on the Wii and it's really fun, you can play for hours. If I hadn't spend my money on the PS3 I would've had a Wii a long time ago :P

Death Note - L wall

"HmmThe scan is a too blurry. Mayb turn the blur down so that the scan is just a bit blurry but still sharp looking. And then the background. You should use colors that kinda complement the scan. The scan stands too much out so i suggest that you could use more colors for the cool swirls that you made (take colors from the scan) but not too much, just so that the scan still looks out.
other than that it looks good.

I'm a newbie here
4 months 2 weeks ago
"Hi thereFirst of all welcome to AP.
Well if you're looking to submit a self-made wallpaper in the future, it would be good to have some opinions on it while you're still working on it. That way you can get good tips and hints on what's wrong/not good/misplaced/etc in your wallpaper.
As for downloading wallpapers...just browse through the wallpaper gallery and download the wallpapers you like...I'm not quite sure where your problem is.

"What the eff is Lima doing!?Heh yeah, that's right, I'm working on a new wallpaper. The title is pretty much definite (it's also the name of the OP of the second season of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni).
What can I say...I wanted to make a Wallpaper with Rena in it...and yeah, here I am. What you may notice is that I chose to make it Wide screen cause yeah, wide screen rocks (even though i only have a 15" tft, but hey, it never prevented me from making some decent wallpapers at 1600*1200 px resolutions ;P).
Anyway, I'm going for a bit of a darker theme with some blood splatters and i also have an idea for the typography. oh and i also got some inspiration from the ps3's XMB (CrossMediaBar) XD.
The only problem i have is the background. And so here I am asking for suggestions/tips/hints on what to do for the background...i can't just leave it black since I have alot of space available now. I'm just afraid that I'd start overloading the background with crap just so as to not to (ironically) waste the available space i have.
Looking forward to the suggestions as to what kind of background i should go for.
greetz lima.
WIP 1
As you can see here, I placed the scan on the left side, and made a subtle gradient in the background going from a dark-red to black.
[UPDATE #000]
WIP 2
Added some blood splatters behind Rena and made some XMB inspired 'swooshes' in the background.
[UPDATE #001]
WIP 3
Flipped the whole thing on the horizontal axis since most people have their icons on the left side...
[UPDATE #002]
WIP 4
I did a re-cg of Rena's skirt since that was cut off in the scan I used. It looks okay I think.
Also added more glowlines on the left part. The next step would be adding Content/Texture to the Dead/Empty part of the wallpaper."

":3 i thinhk its the light that overflows which makes it look transparent :3
okay wip19
and wip20
are uploaded now XD basically i don't have a clue what i did from wip18-wip19 but i did change the fonts from wip19-wip20 and also added some sunrays :3 with some neat easy tricks :D okay maybe its too bright now for some folks but hey? if you look into the sun its too bright too right? and i added more particles flying around her...after all it IS an ANGEL'S LANDING so why not make it a bit mystical :3 so i added a "shadow" to the particles looking at the sun to make em get illuminated by the sunrays of course..i also tried it for the birds but maybe ill revert that again...doesnt look too good.
well then matane and come up with opinions :D"

"oh sorry if it came over as a ...erm rant? XD didnt mean it that way
neways: wip18
Update:
wip19 changed the text and took the some birds away and gave them a darker color and less blur. also i added the kanji for Bakuretsu Tenshi in the typography and set the opacity of the glow of the kanji for angel's landing a bit down and made it look more like an outline. im not sure but im already pretty satisfied...maybe im just lazy too XD"

neways here is wip15
i hid the text to not get distracted by it ^^.
so i did as tate suggested and yeah, teh birds look good, also notice some debris on the cliff and rolling down the cliff leaving small dustmarks (i think i could still improve those details though what do you guys think?) i think the key for this wallpaper is teh details and i also removed the moon =D
okay i think im gonna think about some things more at this point =/ okay then laterz again :D
@2kool4u
D: gomen, i didnt want to do a city scape because A) i sux XD B) i think she also fits well on a cliff :D C) if youd like ill try to add a city in the background O_O maybe thatll work, but then it's a deserted city :D"

Ah okay
so eh basically what happened is, from wip8-wip9 i changed the recged scarf parts' colors with a lighter one...it fits much better. i dunno what i did from wip9-wip10 but i think i deleted some strokes visible on the clouds >_> i guess my wall will look very different on other ppls monitors *needs new tft D:* from wip10-wip11 i changed the sky color, it just had to be dusk/dawn since it fits better with the colors of jo's clothes. from wip11-wip12 i resituated her and the cliff to the right side...most people have the icons on the left right? and also a fellow from irc told me that that's more realistic since the lightning on her back isnt so strong so when she'd stay on the left side of the canvas it'd had to be more stronger...or so...then from wip12-wip13 i couldnt withstand my urges as celestial waller and add a moon behind the clouds >_> i made it much smaller then todays celestial people XD they tend to overdo it, since the moon WE see is like ionno 1 inch in diameter XD ? oh yeah also from wip11-wip12 i started to simulate the wind =/ ne suggestions? im still wrestling with those lines...should i blur them? smudge them? erase some parts to get the feeling of wind? and ill add some more stuff in the background...some birds and such...

k thanks again keep it coming oh yeah:
wip5
oh and tama-neko-onee-chan told me to recg the scarf so, that they'd look like wings ^^" as for the name i got one already, itwill most probably be called "Angel's Landing"
then again thanks for the input *goes back to shop*
matane!
[EDIT]
Okay, there lotsa changes here i guess?
wip6
made her slightly bigger but figured if i go nefurther it just wont look good =/ also i fully recged the scarf and i changed the sky background to a better gradient. also notice the scan has some noise on it since i didnt take care of it yet.
wip7
compare this head on head with wip6, yes the scan is now cleaned :3 looks better ey? and no more grainyness, now for teh birds and some other things ^^
matane!"
