Azumanga Daioh Wall

Behindthesmile · 11-01-2003, 12:36 PM

lol its been a long time since i did a wall anyways heres my new work in progress. i cant think of a good background so i'm leaving it white for now. if you guys have any suggestions or critism i'm open

I think it's nice, but it looks more like a poster than a wallpaper, specially the bottom part.
Also, those two "flying" cats should be removed in my opinion.

Your wallpaper is good, but there are a few technical suggestions I have for you to consider. First, Sakaki is a little desaturated. To make her stand out more you might go and pump up the saturation a bit; not a lot, just whatever you think looks best. Next, and I don't know how important this is, but the paper texture is visible. To me it's obvious this is a scan from a magazine. Depending on the amount of effort you wish to out forth, I think you would like the image better if all the colors were smoothed out and that texture removed. Good wall overall, I think it's a very nice start.

lol i haven't put the background yet thats why it look that they're flying. i'm thinking of more like sakaki looking behind in a street setting. but might change my mind and put something else all together rather than the cats.

also thanks default for the advice. hope blur and saturation takes out that texture issue since thats the one i'm gonna use. unless theres another way to smooth it out

Smudge tool works great for removing artefacts in solid colored areas.

keep the cats, they rule! I would, however, try to draw attention away from the 2 cats in the background. one suggestion is the make them black-and-white or blur them.

Behindthesmile · 11-03-2003, 02:21 PM

well heres the image with some major adjustments. i also have a beta version of the other one though with adjustments from your suggestions

kadaan · 11-03-2003, 05:12 PM

Much better, I like it! Those cats are too cute

I like the second version better....the main scan looks dirty though, maybe try cleaning it up a bit?

MistressPookyChan · 11-04-2003, 11:38 PM

the cats rock my world. I would try to bring the character off the background a bit. maybe a soft glow? Nice job; much better!

omicron_15 · 11-05-2003, 09:06 PM

The second version looks totaly awsome, great job.
