Fly... by °Phill 2 months 1 week ago

^nat
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.

"2 words: so-nic /heh

i love it since the original, 3d/anime first serie that transmited HBO (the dark boss one, the more realistic and crude, not the funny kids-for one)"

FF:AC

"It is a great movie... it reveals and confirms a lot of tiny details on the game... also de image quality is gorgeous...
The only thing i didn't like is that is a lot sequencial... it doesn't show the personality of the characters, there is action from de begining. And the other chars (barret, yufie, vincent, cid) only appear in a abattle and that's it.

A great movie but i was expecting a bit more complex trama."

My First Wall

"Yes, i'll try to do that. but i think the grass field will fly away cuz if i don't know how to match it with the sky and someting more in the bg then i must do another thing.. but still i want to finish it...
i have re-upload it the last pic ( link), i deleted the cloud that was below the grass field to make them match better, tried to fix a bit the field border and added 2 text, the rest is the same the grass field i corrected the colors.

meanwhile i started another wallpaper, but i think its too much for me... the extraction cost me a lot cuz the scan was low res and not so clean, my idea here is to make a real-looking water water pool (the zig-zag filter sucks x_x) with the reflection of the hand, obviusly i have to re-cg to make the back of the hand, or make i-dont-know-how the hand inside the water... i'm searching a good scan of his love to make a shadow of him and his reflection of the water, and then cover the scene with lights effect and white things flying ^^. i'm asiking to much i think... well anyway the first preview...: http://img311.imageshack.us/img311/2199/kimiga2finalwall15gu.jpg

waiting for suggestion, links or anything that can helping me on the first or the second wall ^^
thanks"

"Thanks for your comments ^^
i really liked the last one, specially by the large low opacity image :P but i'll save it and use on my pc. now i'm learning, i'll try to add something like you said, but for example a school, where can i get it? wich angle? O_o dont have idea.
it'll be helpfull some already made wallpapers with that kind of bg to show me more or less how it is.
thanks again, i'll search in the websites of the sticky topic.

EDIT: i've look the tutorial of grass sky and clouds on deviantart, of your post in the sticky... first i made a mini-image to have idea of how it is and then i tried on the wallpaper. i dont know how to make the grass more real at the "far away" grass... i think it's good for a first try..
User posted image User posted image
i was thinking (after fixing the grass-border with the sky, and the diferents tones of grass >_> that i dont have done very good) to put something else above the grass, further. like a tree, or the top of blocks of a city... but i cant figure how to... "

which OS do you use?

3 years 2 months ago

"I dont understand the pic very well, they are not in order and the mem i dont get the sense :P
i use Win98SE fully updated. i got more than 2ghz, 512mb ram and a ViVo geforce4 graphic card but i choose 98SE cuz it's the most estable. Win95 i dont like it, you cant personalize nothing, WinME SUCKSSSSSSSSSS, WinXP gaves me a lot of problem with the hardware, a billon, received attacks, freezes, program crashes... so i return to Win98SE that gives no errors or problems whit my full-time use."

"Beta Guide: 3. Vectors and Re-Cgs

User posted image
1. what are the red and ligh blue lights? if they are a closest star and a planet (i imagine that) you should remove the "dot" stars that are on the lights, or make the layer with the lays above the star dotted background.
2. the girl scan has some flying pixels on the hair, should be removed or extract it again more carefully.
4. i think that should not to be or should be in some kind of gradient or blur.
3 & 5. that it's too pixelate and noisy, you can cover it adding blur, glows, gradient.

also the mecha "blue poles" above it's shoulders its pixelated, that's why they tell you to re-drawn with vectors. for the scans try to find a more big-sized image so when it's reduced you dont get pixelation and it's better quality.

i hope that helps you...
i'm looking for critics and comments too, i'm newb made my first wall here if you comment thanks you ^^
