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!

@~Corvus Re-evaluate your feelings after some space. I have watched numerous relationships fail due to rushing and the wounded bird concept. @~Mystic Not bad, just been busy recently that is all. And trying to find motivation to return to one of my projects

My First wallpaper for animepaper ^^

"Sorry for that, on my next wallpaper, I'm going to make a new thread ^^'.
I can see the extraction needs some work, but I have to say that it's a pain extracting the character specially the hair. Yeah I also see a little of white lines in some parts, so I'll fix that (I wasn't lazy, I was tired when doing that and didn't notice it at first). I also cleaned the character by making her a little bit darker and made some smooth contrast.

The background lacks depht? So do you think shadows for the trees could work? I'm going to try and do some because yeah I do see that the trees makes the wallpaper look flat. How can I make branches? I don't know how to do that. I'm happy that my clouds came out nice ^_^.

Thanks for your review blu3angl :)

"Well, I have bad news for the wallpaper I was planning to do (roll wallpaper) My computer had some problems that required to erase everything and my wallpaper with it. I could use the one I have uploaded before, but I just lost the feeling of doing it and the idea for what I wanted to do I don't remember it. Maybe later I'll have some ideas to finish it.

I've made another wallpaper though. It's from Somedays Dreamers.

I did have improve in my opinion, and I wanted to do a background with grass and all natural feeling of it. I did the whole background using brushes. What took me time in doing this was the leaves and a little bit the clouds. The leaves weren't coming out like I wanted, but it's pretty close what is now ^^. The clouds...well let's just say, it took me time to do as well.

So is this wallpaper ready to submit? I hope it is.

Comments and opinions are more than welcome ^^

"To blu3angl: Yes I have tried that tutorial, that's where I learned how to clean the character because it was in low quality. Maybe I should try saving the wallpaper with a higher KB (the KB it has right now its 354kb) I'll try and visit to your header.

To gat: Erm, how do you vector the image/character? I'm new to that ^^'

"Thank you everyone for your comments. I did try all of you guys suggestions ^^.

Since most of you said that my background was simple, I re-do the wallpaper all over again because I tried to fix it in the current one but I messed up on it and didn't work. I though it would be better to start with a clean paper again although it took me hours to make it. The background it's kind of abstract and I used some brushes and the smudge tool to make the abstract look to it.

Well here's the new wallpaper:

Honestly, I like both wallpapers that I did, but this current one it's convincing me more.
What do you think? is it any better now? I got rid of the ghostly image so tell me if it looks better without it.

Thanks again for your suggestions ^_^

your ghost image is not the worst i've seen used. however, i'm not very sure if that'll cut it. first, you'll definitely need a better background. Second, you'll need to slow down on the sparkles. There are way too many and way too concentrated and repetitive.

the pink theme is fine. but think of a way to make it more intersting.

Thanks ^^. Although I don't know what background to use. Too many sparkles? I'll try and fix that. Guess my final wallpaper it's not ready yet :( but I appreciate your help :)

"Thanks for your comment ^^. You really think the net effect (or the boxy little squares) looks bad? because I do like it a lot since megaman exe is based on computer/internet stuff and the net was an idea that went well with that. You said to move the character to the left? (as away from her or more close to her?) I'm a little confused on that part XD.

Okay, I'm going to do the text bigger ^^. As for the signature, I do agree with what you said and I'm going to fix that too. Thank you very much for your input! ^_^

"Hello ^^

I have been working on a megaman wallpaper (character: roll exe) that I want to submit just for animepaper. I have other wallpapers but sadly they do not concur with the quality or well-made wallpapers like here (seriously, the wallpapers here makes mines to look like garbage). I did this one to meet animepaper requirements for submittion and I wanted to know if it's ready ^^.

This first one was my first attempt:

I think that was not a very good wallpaper, plus the character is not in the best quality. I've worked again on it and I have read about some tutorials here in the forum by reading other member's improvements and visiting tutorial sites. I finally know how to clean up a pic or character when they are of low quality or a bit messy. It was very helpful and I had an idea for the background because, as you can see, it's a little simple.

With all that I had in mind to do, this is my final result of the wallpaper ^^:
User posted image

I really liked my improvement from the first one and I like how it came out at the end. Clean and the background has more detail to look at like the net, sparkles, light effects, and the faded character ^^. It took me around 2 days to complete the final wallpaper (2 hours one day for the first attemtp, and 2 hours the second day for the final one)

So what do you think? Is this final result ready to submit? Comments and opinions are much appreciated ^_^.
