"Image quality aside, what bothers me is the composition, really. I know IchiRuki both have to be there, but the placement on the wall...they just take up too much space, ^^;

But other than that (which is my personal preference), I would listen to their suggestions regarding the main image quality. And the mist concentrated niear Ichigo's elbow is kind of distracting."

Help!! Help!!! Another Kingdom Hearts Wallpaper

2 years 9 months ago

"Some parts are a little uneven. The flag, for exam, has such rough edges, and the lighting is also odd since the color of the sky indicates an early time of day, yet the shading on the right and the silhouette makes it seem like it's much later. I realize that it's an overcast day, but the right side just seems a little too dark, and if you consider real lighting, it shound't be. If anything, the left should be darker, since the sun would cast the shadow of the cloud it's hiding in to an area just below it. Or add something (I don't know what) that would actually put the character in the shade.

Or maybe it's just the angle that's a little strange. The positions of the sun and the tree suggests a slightly tilted perspective, like, but the character is straight.

The position of the lens flare is also rather odd.

Basically, apart from the vectored edges lacking smoothness, I think the perspective is just somehow...off. But it's so hard to tell with just a silhouette ^_^;

I'm sorry, I wish I could be of more help, because the background you've created is actually quite stunning."

"I suggest adding more lines in her hair. As it is now, it looks like one stiff block. More lines = more fluidity = more illusion of movement. I'd listen to Clarings' suggestion about the vector details.

As for the background, it's a bright, cheerful wall, so I really don't see why you'd want to put her on top of a big black BG with such a basic texture/pattern fill. Since you're playing around with the pen tool, anyway, I suggest removing the black and the texture (at least for now) and creating SHAPES OR LINES for your background. I can't tell you what shapes to use, just try to go with the flow. Haruhi is STARING you in the face, so the background could be just as bold and daring (but not too crowded). Just play around with the pen tool and see what happens. If done properly, the designs WON'T take away from the main image at all.

Also, since the main image you're using is pretty big, maybe you could try for a bigger wallpaper size, like 1280x960 at least. That'd give you more space for designs in the background."

"Er...Chad looks more like he's about to EAT the birds than he likes them. The background is peaceful and the foreground is so blatantly war like. They just don't go together that well, although - individually, the background is lovely and the vector is not half bad. A little jagged on some edges, but decent.

You COULD try using a darker sky - maybe dusk or sunset - and different birds. The fiery colors of a sunset would suit the expression his face. *shrugs* Just a thought."

The New Blood Ver.2

"The text doesn't really add to the image. It's too distracting, too bold. And the font choice isn't stellar. It's nice that you tried the blood-on-the-knife idea, but the blood you added looks DRY. It makes it look like you have a splotchy-colored knife. I think you should make it as fresh as the blood on the ground. The poster you're using as a reference is pretty dated. They didn't have today's graphics editing programs, so you can do MUCH much better!"

"More blood! MORE!

*is not psycho*

Blood on the knife would be a good idea. You can have it drip to the puddle on the floor. The light at the back doesn't really add much to the image. It's kinda distracting. If you must place light, I think it's better to have it coming from the top and in FRONT of the image, rather than the back which would explain the shininess of the front of the knife.

(Am I making sense?)

What I'm getting at is, a knife is a shiny reflective piece of metal. You can't reflect unless you've got LIGHT coming in hitting the metal, so the light source in the back would, realistically, make the back of the knife shiny and the front dull. The opposite of what you have. To give the idea of a light coming in from the front, you could add a sparkle/lens flare near the top of the knife.

Also, you could give the knife a more softer sheen by making the shades of silver/gray blend rather than hanving them in plain diagonal lines like that. Take a knife and shine a flashlight on it. The blade should be brighter than the sides and the shading wouldn't be so perfectly parallel.

I'd also suggest adding spatters around the blood on the ground to make it appear thicker.

(Yay, that was long!)"

"The lack of eye isn't so bad. Maybe you could add some shadows near the area where the eye should have been to give the impression that they've been hidden by his hair or shadows or the angle, rather than Hideki simply having no eye. It wouldn't be too big a deal if it were some other wall or some other character, but this is a happy wall, and the lack of an eye makes it seem kind of soulless.

Else you could give him the "happy eye." You know, the one that looks sort of like this: ^

EDIT:// Duh, I didn't see the new version.

Anyway, it looks really better, solid. I would add some shading, but that's just me. It looks fine as it is. (And it's totally adorable.)"

My first Vector

"Wow, pretty. Beautiful vector. How are you fixing the rock on the right? Personally, I'd change the colors from shades of gray to something less neutral. Also, the outline around her hair seems too thick, it kinda makes her hair look heavy, when it's supposed to be flowing in the breeze. I suggest using a smaller brush point.

But it looks really pretty~!"

"The scan is of very poor quality and you didn't really clean it up, apart from blurring it around the edges. The bg effects are also not that great. It just looks like you applied the wave filter to a stock."

First attempt

"Inoue's edges are pixellated O_o which is odd for a vector. Maybe you should fix that. And, yeah, there are too many random brushes with different themes. Do you want grunge brushes? Geometrical/shapes? Drawings? Swirls? It's better to just stick to one or two, not to so many different types of brushes."

Tales of Symphonia

"I agree with about the wings on her back. I think it's because the girl is turned to the side but her wings are positioned for someone who's facing straight forward. Unless they're meant to be like nebulae or something? In which case it's kind of weird to have them so symmetrical. I also think the pink in the wings are a touch too pink. Maybe a little more purplish so they don't look out of place in the wall. They really take away from the cool moonlit feel you have of everything else.

I love the flowers near the bottom, though, and the small wisps of light. I think you should make the colors on the right go with the colors on the left, because the left half of the wall is really, really lovely."

Off to a good start... (I hope) updated a bit!

"You need to soften up and smoothen her edges and lines. The background is okay, but as it is it seems a little generic. I think you should put something in the wall that would connect the background and the character in a specific way. As it is, the bg looks like something you can stick beneath anybody."

My first real wall

"The scan you used is of VERY low quality. Chii is so pixellated and has so much noise. The font doesn't suit the image adn the background is really way, way too much. Desktops tend to be cluttered with icons, so it wouldn't be a good idea to have your wallpaper so full of things already. Personally, such a desktop would distract me and I'd never want to look at it (much less use it).

I suggest removing the text you've put all over the background and putting in a subtler texture. Also clean up the scan a little."

What do you think is the saddest story told in an anime?

2 years 10 months ago

"Of all the anime I've seen, only two made me really REALLY depressed:

The Rurouni Kenshin OVA (both of them) and
Grave of the Fireflies

FMA and Saikano have some sad elements in them, but they touched the heart in a different way. And, like some have said, after reading all the manga, watching all the anime, and then finally getting his past animated AND his future, it's hard NOT to bawl over Kenshin's fate. I still do it whenever I go through the whole Tomoe thing.

And I can't STAND to watch Grave of the Fireflies again. I keep trying, I get past the first 20 minutes, and then just turn it off.

EDIT:// Though I would have to say that Full Metal Alchemist Episode 25 was an ARROW TO THE HEART. And I'm a huge Spike Spiegel fan so Cowboy Bebop Ep 26 was an "Urgh. WAAAH!" moment for me."

New wall of Fate Stay Night

"First of all, Daisuke and the cherry tree are much, MUCH too bright for the night setting you've created, particularly since the moon is behind them. It would make much more sense for them to be a little bright along the edges and darker toward the middle - the complete opposite of what you've done.

Secondly, the moon's "edge" is very very jagged, as are some of the brushes you used to make stars. Looks like you used SQUARE brushes. I think it would be better to use soft, round brushes. Also, there are way, wAY too many stars. The wall looks cluttered, specially since they're all the same brightness. Look up at the night sky. It doesn't look that bright even on the clearest of days.

I don't really like the Riku in the upper right corner of the sky, but if you must put her there, at least don't make her arms look so... cut off. Her hair is also a little poorly extracted.

But other than those, the wallpaper has a nice feeling to it. It just needs some technical fixes..."

Memories Off wall - help!

"Hmmm, about the only thing I can say is to make the lake (and the reflection) look more like a lake and a reflection. As it is, it looks too much like the mountain continuing upside-down - only more blurry. Or perhaps that's because you sized it down to 800x600 so some of the details are lost. Otherwise, it looks very nice."

"Yay, a Sanosuke wall! *joy joy*

It looks good, but a little too simple. You might want to adjust the hue/saturation of the character for evil and the small pictures below it so it's more red - not necessarily BRIGHTER, since they look fine sort of faded so as to draw the attention to the left image - just more RED, y'know? Maybe you could also add more textures/brushes to it or tilt the image to the left?

You don't have to do the things I said, they're just examples. It looks like you were trying for a scrapbook or light grunge effect, so it's better not to have things too symmetrical or clean.

But all that aside, I really like it! It's nice and classy."

A utarerumono wall

2 years 10 months ago

"It works fine for me.

Anyway, comments:
- NOT digging the repetitive text plastered all over the background. One "utarerumono" is enough to get the point across, and seeing it spread all over like that ruins the effect of the bg. This actually is the least of the things I don't really like about this wall.

I hope I don't sound too harsh or critical, but it just looks like you slapped an image on top of a stock of clouds (or a simple render of clouds). The color of the background doesn't even complement the colors of the main image. Also, the image itself looked skewed. You didn't really do anything to the main image, apart from sticking it on top of a layer.

Er, have you read the rules?"

"Everything dirtyhipoo said. Plus, the birds in the sky shouldn't be that black, unless they're flying DIRECTLY under the sun (which they're not). They're also pretty inconsistent with the whole painted look of the entire wall because they're a bit too sharp. Everything else you have has fuzzy edges. (Maybe that's what's bothering you about the sky? Because the clouds look fine to me.)"
