Lain

[Xian Pu]

I made this, and thought about how strange the anime is, so I wanted to kinda get across some sort of... hell I don't know. Is this any good?

[acamori]

nice concept! though there's still some white around the edge of the character (try using a really shallow black interior glow might help) and you might want to soften the outside edge of her as well, right now she seems a bit sharp.

i think the bg would look better with just the top left picture (without it mirrored to right and bottom). this is probably one of your best ones yet.

[Xian Pu]

Is this close to what you had in mind?

[Candy-StarR]

I like the second one better... but i would fade the picture in the background more... -- i think it looks sort of 'out of place'... or maybe monotone it grey?? i donno

EDIT: i don't really like the text either

[Xian Pu]

Is this a better font? How about the grayscale? Better overall? ^_^

[acamori]

yeah, it looks better with just the one, but like candy-star said, it'd be better if you can fade it into the bg some (you can probably use the layer mask feature in photoshop, let me know if you need help with that)
it's looking good

here's (http://filebox.vt.edu/users/aales/tutorial/tutorial.html) a little quicky tutorial for how to fade things int their background.

[Xian Pu]

Ooooohkay... Just one question. How do I do a grid? Got the grid figured out, but I still don't understand the fading with a gradient. >_>

[acamori]

you don't need the grid, that was just for demonstration. check your PM's

[Xian Pu]

Here. How's this? Better yet?

[Candy-chan]

the font doesnt go well with the feeling, keep it smooth

Aww man... I was making a wall with that picture... -_-
Oh well. I was taking too long anyway.

[Candy-chan]

asher: there are already tons of walls with it so i dont think one more should stop you. original and rare Lain pictures are impossible to find.

[asher_aj_wei]

Really? Hrmm, I personally haven't seen a wall with that picture. So I wouldn't know. I haven't watched the show yet though. =|

[escaflownemoon]

asher, don't let one wallpaper stop you from making your unique ideas come true Just because of the same picture is already been used. :) lol there are many other unlimited possiblilties.

yeah. Right after seeing the whole show ( its good, watch it. Good, but weird) i tracked everything that i could find on the net. results: all the same dozen of pictures, never new ones. just go see here on aw already, im sure art least one wall has this picture. anyway not one lain wall looks like the other since pple are very opened to do anything considering how weird and techy and freaky the anime is. so get back to that wall of yours! ^^


back to the wall: i also dont think the bg goes well, try removing the 3D effect. But keep the bar idea, and the colors also fit okay.

Laugh, ha. Thanks for the advice. I didn't say I'm going to let this stop me =D My earlier Naruto wall pic was from someone else's wall and I'm making another wall with that Zero pic I got earlier. I just don't spend time enough on walls ^.^ Too busy with life, going into the army soon anyway. So you guys won't see me for like 3 years at least I think. On a side note... My own guitar looks a bit like the one she's holding.

ANYYY WAY, about the wall. I think you're going to have to try something else Xian Pu. Personally, I don't like how the wall is turning out.
