Hope u like this. :laugh:
Your wallpaper is too empty. You need to work more on the foreground. The character you used feels like it's behind the background. The character is also poorly extracted with jagged edges. Don't forget to fix the URL. Make it smaller, position it at the bottom and add one more W to the link. I really cannot accept it the way it is now.
Don't forget to attach links to the stocks used.

Other than that the text on it is basic and doesn't match the rest of the wallpaper at all. Also attach your name and the site's name on it.

Anime/manga? I'm not really sure but if you can tell me I'd appreciate it. So this would probably be placed in with the Miscellaneous animes/mangas. o_o; I really hope I got it all right, it's my first time~
Your wallpaper is empty. I really like the image and the text though. Play a bit with colors or just add different shades of the one you used. It should make it a lot better.

Resources used include screencaps featuring:
Chihiro from
ef: a tale of memories Episode 5
minions of Charlotte from
mahou shoujo madoka magica Episode 3
Please may I have the hat? I need it to complete my outfit for this year's "Don't be a Monkey" protest at Otacon and I can't find it anywhere! Thanx!
Your background is … grainy and looks like an enlarged hot-dog with mayonnaise inside. Also those … rats, kinda don't feel part of the wallpaper at all. o_o;; Add the links to stocks used too, please.

Being my first time entering wotm, I don't mean to sound ignorant in any kind of way, but does my own wallpaper really need to be fixed in order for me to stay put in the contest?
Re: Wallpaper of the Month [May 2012] - 1st Prize: $25 gift certificate
meh, if my resolution is that weird, just get rid of it x.x it took too long for that feedback, and the computer i have that psd on is now broken beyond repair lolz @FlashD ^^" btw, i used the resolution that was on my laptop

As stated in my post, the "stock" is taken from screen captures directly from the BD versions of the animes already quoted and thus could not possibly be of higher quality, as they are definitive of the animation products.
The ... graininess, the "hot-dog" (It's actually a strawberry shortcake; the "mayonnaise" is yummy cream filling), and the "rats" (使い魔, tsukaima, familiars) are all intentional on the part of the director to convey the unreal dreamlike other-worldly impossibility of that particular environment. Similarly, the luminescence of the other component of the wallpaper is meant by the director to convey the nightmarish perception of that girl's predicament as seen from within her own mind.
Both components were chosen for both their individual and unique senses of unreality and importantly, their contrast in style to each other. The slogan is an ironic use of one of the girl's own statements in the show applied to what would clearly be an unforgettable situation completely unimaginable to her that is meant to serve as food for thought about the validity of her point of view.
I'm surprised you didn't criticise the style of the other component as blurry and the intentional clash of styles as inconsistent. Although, as blueangel pointed out, your rules specifically state that no comments are allowed in this thread, I guess the rules don't apply to everyone.
If all you want is blurred pastels of misty-eyed young couples embracing in the rain with mushy romantic slogans, your rules should so state. I guess no hat for me!
P.S. I really liked the one with the old photograph!

Well he'd doing it because, looking at your wallpaper the quality of your wallpaper does not fit to our QUALITY guidelines and will not be uploaded to AW.com at this rate. I don't know if you read his post but he did call out everyone else's errors as well to be sure they are following the quality control. Plus your extraction isn't properly extracted as well. Around her head looks blury as if it was just erased via circular brush with a 0 hardness level which is unpleasing and unattractive. Your colors unprofessionally clash and there is no sense of depth
"As stated in my post, the "stock" is taken from screen captures directly from the BD versions of the animes already quoted and thus could not possibly be of higher quality, as they are definitive of the animation products. "
If it's not a HQ stock, don't use it. It won't work. How can you except a quality wallpaper when the stock isn't of quality?! No one will use something that isn't of good quality. Hard sad truth. Any further questions PM Flash. As to not spam up anymore I will say no more on this matter in this thread.

Right, somehow I was able to miss it. My mistake. v_v

NOTE: For everyone who are planning to or wish to fix their wallpapers you can do it until Monday. I WILL NOT accept any new submissions, however.
