Only one right now, But I'm planning to make wallpapers regularly.

Im not sure, but I already sent in a submission, but now that I think about it I'm wondering to myself whether or not it was a good idea, because it might be too "busy". Take a looksie and give your opinion why dont'cha? :ph34r:

*EDIT* Ok, I made the changes everyone wanted. I tried the movement thing but it didn't work out. :huh: So basically all I did was add in a couple of words and my name. :o

[Syntax_err]

Well i think it looks good.
:D

[Cantelope]

Wah ha, thank you for the self esteem booster. :^_^:

Hmmm... I understand that the Gundam is in space, but... he still seems to be floating...

I think this looks damn good tho. Not much else to say about it.

[GangstaSnail]

Heh, since it's space I believe that it must float XD

Anyway, if u add some moving effects it'd look perfect ^_^

[escaflownemoon]

That's your first? wow it totally beats mine right from the start if we had a wallpaper newbie contest a few years back..hehe...anyways I can't quite put my finger on it but some moving effects would bring out the essence of your wallpaper..like Wizzy said and my 2 cents is put your name too..hehe :lol:

[Cantelope]

Ok, I added my name and the A.W. cred. :P

[Cantelope]

Ok, I just got done making a new wallpaper. It started out with me playing with some new brushes I got, but then I decided to turn my effort into something. After you guys critique my butt straight to pluto, I'll submit. ;)

Don't expect too much from this one. :unsure:

[Xian Pu]

Nice wallpaper, but... for each wall-- start another thread. Don't flood the same thread over and over again. ;)


As for the wall itself- it's nice, but plain.

[Cantelope]

Ok, I'll remember that....a little too late now though. :huh:

Yeah..plain....my imagination just kind of sputtered and died. But I still think it's good. But maybe I only think that because I spent an hour on it. :^_^:

An hour?

There are people that spend, and I am not joking here, weeks on end working on a single wallpaper. If you want examples of what I am talking about, visit minitokyo's favorites sections, you'll see. ;)

Take your time, why are you in a hurry?

I sometimes take eight nine hours just extracting an image. I haven't even started on the BG yet. I will take an image raw, and work on it, adding in areas from scratch, recoloring, resizing, etc, etc, then work on the BG.

Like I said, take your time. You are in no race to finish your wallpaper first.

:o i love your first one 9/10 ;)

[Candy-StarR]

Your 1st one is really really good! Awesome, in fact...
Cept for the minor blurryness on the robot thingy... (But i'm piccy, so dont worry about it)
Are you sure that's your 1st wallpaper? :ph34r:... how come it's so good?

On your second one, the bunny's outline is really jaggy
And im not sure about the characters on the left in the bar
Still good but

[escaflownemoon]

ok your new wallpaper is good but the text you got there one of the word is cut off at the top. You might want to decrease the font size to make fit. By the way what font did you used to show up chinese characters..I know I can do that in word but I don't know how in Photoshop.

[Cantelope]

That? I made a picture with the symbols in regular text. Then screenshotted it. Then opened it up in photoshop, and turned the symbols into brushes. And I'm not rushing on my wallpapers. I just get done with them pretty quickly. The only time when I'm not going so fast, is when I'm reading a tutorial over the net. That's when I start making wallpapers at an extremely slow pace. :( And yes...that was my first wallpaper. It's amazing when you extract 3-D images into wallpapers. ;)

Anyways I can't think of a good background for my second one. Suggestions on that would help me very very much indeed. I'm keeping the asian kanji on sidebar!! Whether ya like it or not :ph34r:

*EDIT* Ok, I changed the background to something different, and I added a stroke to the symbols, and put some lens flare, gradient overlay, bevel & emboss, and some contour to the brushed swirl borders. Which one is better? The previous look or this new one.

[GangstaSnail]

The new bg looks better ^_^

[escaflownemoon]

I'm still not satistfied.. :^_^: You haven't fixed up the word that is cut off. Other than that I like the bg.

[Cantelope]

The top cut off kanji is staying because I can't fix it. :P

Ok, new one is all good and content.

Case Closed. *submits*
