Hmm... at the very least you need to do something to set the image apart from the background. Simply placing an image straight onto a wallpaper generally doesn't look very good.

Hmm... I think the quote fits the wallpaper well... It's just sad how you simply stuck a picture to a background without even spending time on cutout...

I don't know, maybe just a plain black border would be better? Or none, i thought a border might clash to much with the background, or take away from it or the picture. The picture stands out more with none, I think? I don't really like it. hmmm :huh:

Well here it is with the black border (I didn't like the other one I posted):

Oh please... I'll tell you what to do... First step: Pick up your eraser tool; Second step: Erase the background of the picture; Third step: Use the picture WITHOUT the white background.

Simple black border. the background is complicated enough. <_<

The problem isn&#39;t a border, it&#39;s the fact that it&#39;s just an image placed on a background. You need to extract the characters from the original image. Zoom in to 600% and erase all the background of the source image.

You could at least tell me what is so bad about it for future reference :unsure:

May just do few more edits then probaly scratch it. -_- Its become a real pain.

firstly, you put almost no effort into that wallpaper whatsoever
you just made a sub par background and slapped an un-edited image on top


then you hastily grabbed a soft eraser and erased the background of the image, along with the edges of the characters and it generally looks ugly

take a look at this wallpaper

its another FLCL one made by acamori.
now i&#39;ll admit it isnt the best wallpaper ive ever seen, far from it infact, but it clearly illustrates what is wrong with your one.

you have to go around the edges of your characters intricately removing the background without disrupting the outlines of the characters themselves.
then you have to make a background that somehow relates to the image, even on a mere colour level (ie, if the stock has blue hair, then a blue background, red hair, then a red background etc etc)
your background is just jaggy wavy lines


now hop to it

And you still have the courage to tell us that we didn&#39;t tell you what is wrong in your wallpaper? Either you don&#39;t read what people say or you simply ignore what is said...

Haruko, I think the problem is lack of effort. The collage you did there; the worst part about it is that it&#39;s obvious no real effort went into it&#39;s creation. All you did was grab any number of images from any number of sources and placed them where ever they would fit. People on this board, at least from what I&#39;ve seen, appreciate effort as much as they do artistry.

What program were you useing haruko? well my first wall didn&#39;t look any better, i used paint shop, and yes it is a collage. :D Ugh iit hurts to look at it, low quality pics to. :blink:

Muahahahahahaha. I remember when I first started trying to make images in paint. *sniffle*... the memories&#33; Took hours to do in paint what photoshop can do in a matter of seconds. It was a good learning experience at least :).
