So.. What do you all think? Is this good enough to submit?
I like it. I would submit it. Even if it doesnt win, and you get critiques as long as they are good ones and you can learn from them, its all good.
Here is my old wallpaper I submitted 7 years ago.
http://www.animewallpapers.com/wallp...hp?sort=rating
It hit top rated and held it for 7 years now. So I made this one for the fans, I want to give you guys a new version in 1080P with a different color scheme.
Both walpapers are nice but prefer the last one, colours are better :)
And btw I see that you registered a long time ago but as this were your first two post I welcome you to AF :D
Thank you, what do you mean by the last one? Do you mean the bigger(newer) wallpaper or my older one?
Sorry, guess it confused you :PQuote:

So? I personally dont like that wallpaper either. All you did was take an image of Goku and use the Wave filter on it. You need to do a little more than just one filter. You should also try centering the image of him too.
You think he will reject this one?
1. First wallpaper: Major quality issues. It's boring, we already have another one by you using the same exact stock from 7 years ago. The darkened edges are distracting and a horrible choice. You instantly killed your paper by doing that. The yellows and reds are horrible color combination. Text? It sticks out like a sore thumb, Either make it blend or don't use text at all on your wallpaper, it doesn't need it. People have tons of text on their desktop via. files. You don't need to add more.
2. Second wallpaper: ... Uh, yay.. you made the entire area around the stock dark with splashes of red. Yay?....
.........You need practice before getting your papers up to the right quality. Start working on signatures, less space to deal with and THEN move to wallpapers. You have too much negative space and you don't know how to properly fill it yet.
Stop whining, suck it up. Move on.
You can whine when someone of skill tells you your works are not that great. Or you can say okay and practice and get better. BTW pro tip: Don't listen to people who do not do GFX if you want to gauge how good/bad your work is. If it's great. They'll say they can do better. If it sucks, they'll tell you it's amazing. And it's not.
how about this one?
Hm, too dark I think and the colours are kinda blurred, still prefer the older one (2nd you posted)
it defiantly is a bit too dark, I didn't realize how dark it looks on other computers till i got to work :cool:
what does it look like when Goku hits you with a kamehameha blast? that's what I'm aiming for. I want to remake the old one i made, so that it fits today's standards as far as screen resolution (1080P)
I'll keep working at it for you guys
I guess it looks like you're about to die xDQuote:

Here's what both wallpapers look like on my desktop:

Lets start with the obvious, stop using the same render for everything. Its boring.
Lets start with the red wallpaper. You have too much negative space, you just have one thing to look at. You are also using a PS filter to distort and reduce the quality of the image (the charcoal filter). Please dont do that. I would reject your wallpaper on that basis alone, if the stock is too blurry, out of focus, or is hard to distinguish, then its not a very good wallpaper.
Goku is small, out of the way, hanging on the bottom, why not center him? Why not use more effects to bring this wallpaper from simple to good? Why is your watermark in the top right and not the bottom of the wallpaper? Why did you pick such unreadable text for your watermark? Why are you using he color red?
Next wallpaper, again, is the same wallpaper you submitted just with a little black brushing over it. This does not fix the lighting problem, this is LAZINESS. There's probably a hundred ways to tinker with lighting in PS, and you choose the way that offers the least amount of quality. Looking at my desktop, it almost seems as though my monitor is broken.
And again, you are using a simple PS filter mechanic to create this wallpaper, most likely the Pinch filter. Again, a one filter option is not a good solution. I want to see you put in some effort.
As for some of your other comments, we arent running the same AW as we were 7 years ago. New people, better wallpapers, more design effort. I dont care if your wallpaper is top rated on the basis of how it was 7 years ago, there's plenty of wallpapers that look like yours, some better:

Here's what I would suggest you do to improve. Go out and find more extractions of anime renders, stop using Photoshop filters, read tutorials on lighting and depth, make signatures, download more readable fonts, investigate 'styles' such as smudging and C4Ds. All of these things you can not only get, you can get for free, some of them right on this very board. You just need to practice more.
there is NO charcoal effects. i refuse to read the rest of your post mr.mod
Then please do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. As it stands, I don't see them ever getting accepted. Listen, he knows what he's talking about and is more skilled than you, I, and anyone else on this entire board. Your foolishness doesn't cut it, mine sure didn't. Your wallpapers are NOT up to todays standards. And even if there isn't any charcoal effects, what ever you did didn't do you any favors regardless of what effect it was or not since whatever you happened to do made it look bad.Quote:

Please do us a favor and just go submit to animepaper.net for a second opinion and see how that goes for you. Because THEN you may come back apologize to serated for your foolishness since he's just doing his job and is even TRYING to give you reasonable advice. Then you can accept that your skills are outdated and start improving with todays times and standards.
Thank You.
theres a difference between advice and criticism. YOU, my dear, are not giving me any advice. Your work is AMAZING. But your attitude? is hanging off of some tramps ball hair. no offense but im sure your sweat as candy in person but as a mod YOU SUCKQuote:

HOWEVER you are not exempt from being criticized, because that's one of the things that come with doing GFX and other art things. It's something EVERYONE in this field goes through. I go through criticism of my works nearly daily. It's how we get better. As a former art student. It's life.
P.S. I fail to see the link between criticizing your poor wallpapers and modding abilities. Sort of two different things.
This is not a forum for advice, also, your first post DOES NOT ask us for advice, you asked us what we thought, and we have told you what we thought. If you didnt want to know, you shouldnt have asked. We arent here to hold your hand every step of the way, we also arent here to be particularly nice to every single person.Quote:

Start practicing. You need to work, and arent going to reward you if you dont. I typically spend about 5 to 20 hours on a wallpaper depending on what it is and you should too. Otherwise, you will be left behind.Quote:

Do me a favor, stop posting on this thread. I don't want your criticism, opinions or advise. ;)
Very well. As request of the author, I'll call someone in to have your thread locked.Quote:
