My First Wallpaper

6 months 3 weeks ago

"Well, since you have decided to put up this in session zero, i would say you want to improve it, rather getting told that it s not worth carry on, so here goes my thoughts:
1) I actually quite like your exia outline (compliment!) it fits well with the darkened back drop.
2) the word "exia" look completely out of place, in terms of the font & outline style that you have adopted for both Satsuna & exia. the position of it can be improved too, but it come to my next thought..
3) what is your aim of this wall? Exia? Satsuna? because at the moment you have a bright line separating the 2.
4) I think you can blend it in a little better when you fade either one (Exia / Satsuna) into the back drop, this would create a focal point in which you can then decide the style of "Exia" text and the associated logo if you want that too.

overall, it is your 1st wall, i would say it's a good start,
you can certainly build on it.

looking forward to your new version =)

A new attempt: MAgus from Chrono Trigger

6 months 3 weeks ago

"Your character on the right can do with a bit more "integration" into the back drop; at the moment it looks to be simply stuck on to the drawing, without any kind of shadow or outline.
From the look of the character he should be standing on something, it may be a good idea to draw him a platform?
It looks as you have put in a twirl effect from the middle of the wall, you may want to combine this with the platform mention above.

Char Aznable

"Sorry, i was expecting a bit more technical advice../(oOo)#

this is a vector, it can be resize to pretty much any resolution, and signature is probably the last thing on my mind until I sort out the colour scheme.

thanks for the remainder none the less."

Char Aznable

6 months 4 weeks ago

"Long time since i lost done a wallpaper (2 years in fact! ), but i have plenty of time after work, I guess i'll put it to go use..

this is char from Gundam, one of the oldest character of the series.
he has been taken out of a screenshot off the Gundam Mahjong Game in DS (awhile ago, no surprise if no one heard of the game).

- I have re-vectored him, and slap him onto a bold-ish background.
- The colour scheme is not final, I was hoping I can have the whole thing pink-ish, to go inline with his Red Comet.
- I am also thinking may be the wall would only have a selection of pink, red, brown, magenta and nothing else. (need to find out how to form a proper colour palette in Illustrator, any tips are much appreciated)
- The background may be imprinted with the Red Comet outline or even a haro.
- that's it for now.

things to consider:
- re-colour it to the pink scheme as mentioned above
- add red comet to the back behind char

please put forward your comment and thoughts,
thanks for reading =)

Sub Worthy?

6 months 4 weeks ago

"Yes .. certainly the background can do with a bit more depth.

the main image looks fine; except on the 2 little one at the bottom, which i think it is half obscure by the blur. while the 2 twirlly blur effect (grey & red) can join together, for that it s look kinda empty in the middle.

the "Misha" text should be brought inline with "Shia" in term of boldness and its shadow.

from looking at your image resolution, i ll suggest you have to have a higher resolution before you can think of submitting, since 1024x768 is a bare minimum.

Eureka!

6 months 4 weeks ago

"Nice clean vector work
good job!
this is only half the battle:
will you stick to the original colour theme?
what sort of scenary would you put them in?
what sort of style would you put them in? Futuristic? mech-ness? or follow your last wallpaper style?
--
to the rest of the people who commented above:
Eureka 7 is a great mech / skyboard / love story series, and it is well worth the time and effort to get it and watch it. It is on the long side (50 episodes) The plot can be quite confusing at times (it took me 2 run to 80% understand it)

1st vector wall MSG from a long time

1 year 7 months ago

"This is my 1st vector wall for almost a year,
you can say my skills are rusty T_T

i have traced out Char ... & his haro from below


I was aiming for a space theme, "The Red Comet - Char Aznable"
as the title suggests, I would like to use only the variety of red, preferable towards the pink side.

I have done some initial shading now, but not too sure how to carry on:
1) should char in multi colour or in the collection of reds?
2) where can i found some futuristic texts for the title?
3) need to know how to show those trailing smoke, as the haro (and other comets) slam onto the surface.



please help!

Huarru

First impression it is way to bright, and the background looks a bit weird with the main character.
Font type also not quite my taste.

As Huarru said it s far too bright, the whole image looks white wash, there wasn't enough contrast between background and your main character
the text on the right is not readable, advise to change the blending more or a different colour.
appreciated your background, but make it slightly visible would be better.
also what theme do you want this wall to have.. as in what is the main focus ?

good luck.. almost there.."

Stellar & Shinn vector

"I think you are missing the most important thing .. YOUR SIGNATURE (and title if you got time) !
for such a great piece but no one know who make it!

besides .. some sort of background colour / images would be good..
kira's backside looks abnormally angular -_____-"

I think for the ease of downloading, you may want to trim down the resolution to something more manageable.. 1600x1200 may be?

My 1st wallpaper :: Pita-ten

1 year 7 months ago

"Rite first thing 1st:
the image resolution need to be a minimum of 1024x768 AP Submission FAQ
apart from that, i think it s quite well done the scan blend in well with the white background.
there are just little notes:
1) there s a copyright in your scan. i think i would be better to remove it and replace it somewhere with your signature.
2) the overall image is a little bright, you may want to tone down a little or make the background darker to contrast against your scan.
3) a slight worry that once you increase the resolution, all your contrast and focus may go out of the window, just need to keep trial and error.

it s a good start! change the things above would see your wall in the gallery soon, keep up the good work."

Rurouni Kenshin Wallpaper

1 year 7 months ago

"1st one:
too many scans at once .. as others have already said, focus on one, clean out the scan thoroughly, and we'll see.
i understand you are using photoimpact (not the most effective program to make wall for submission to AP) try to at least get photoshop element or paint shop pro.

2nd one:
gd job on the cleaning on the front scan. but the back .. the top rite compass thing is poking into kenshins head and you have some other image underneath it (right on the eye, too).
I can understand all the lightening but the flames are beyond me. the main thing is that it s not to the same quality (pixalated) as the others. i mean you can make the whole background pixalated, but not half and half. in addition the darker image of kenshin is clearly not the same image size as the rest of the picture, you can see a lot of artifacts on it .. you may want to reduce colour noise on it.

to be frank with you, both walls need lots of work before getting to the AP standard.
add oil, you'll get there in the end.

Eruruu's88 wallpapers

"Good choice of background, but you may want to blend it with the characters a bit more;
i have noticed that you have left some white shades with the character, you can use that to combine with the background.
the scan on the left is well cleaned, whilst the right hand one was not quite cleaned, you can see some noise on the dark places. also from looking at the leaves shadow, i guess they are under the trees, you have to sort out where light is coming from .. and consistency with the character on the left.
I dont mean to be picky but both scans have bits missing, especially the one on right, half his shoes are missing, as well as sitting in mid air!

I think it s fine for the moment. just need to sort out the blending with background image and the condition & position of the scans in front.

keep up the good work!

Not another ipod wallpaper

"Hi all,

thanx for reading this thread. Recently discovered the new updated theme for ipod ad: multicoloured background etc.
I thought I'll try this with Eyeshield#21.

Took the scan from a page of manga from a few chapters back. done most of the cleaning, drawing and colouring in illustrator. (will this count as vector drawing? :) I have adopted a redish theme for it, since Deimon Devil Bat is red.

anyway here s the link:



any comments are welcome.

thanx again =D

Samurai Champloo wall

"A little dull at the moment, hav to agree with ~present for being too dark.
apart from the glowing ring, i guess you hav to put in some more effort in to the background.
also the jin image need major cleaning, or you can try vectoring the whole jin (take a little more time)

it s a good start. sorted these things above and add a little more text should be fine.
keep up the gd work"

unarguably this is the most advance gundam in the GS series (okok before freedom comes out with his nuclear engine) it can go invisible! anyway back on to the wall

I found the Blitz scan on Newtype, extracted and cleaned, added lens glare and light effect
put in a tech style to go with it.
was having trouble of looking for a suitable background to go with it ... in the end i produce 2 versions:

one with coloured background
here
one without
here

please comment on which background is better plus all the criticisms of the wall.
thanx again!

almost done .. just one little thing .. should the light effect on asuka be a little green, considering your background is green based. also i hav noticed that you gave her an outline which in my opinion a little too strong .. a little softer should help with blending with the background."

How can I improve this?

2 years 8 months ago

"Gd concept ..
may be a gd idea to add an actual scene in background: scan, stocks, etc. other than just a gradient, this will enhance the depth of wall.
I cant quite read the word on the left hand side too =P

"Indeed i hav to agree with pana,

it s far too dark to see anything, some sort of light effect may enhance it, try light glare or was it camera glare. the background can be brighter too.

too dark to see the condition of asuka.

gd concept .. just a little bit more before a job well done"
