Wallpaper of the Month [May 2012] - 1st Prize: $25 gift certificate
.: Wallpaper of the Month :.
Theme: Memories
Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed annually on the last Monday of May. Formerly known as Decoration Day, it originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the fallen Union soldiers of the Civil War. (Southern ladies organizations and southern schoolchildren had decorated Confederate graves in Richmond and other cities during the Civil War, but each region had its own date. Most dates were in May.) By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died in all wars. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. As a marker it typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
I want you to create a wallpaper that represents a memory. It doesn't have to be your own, it can be of a friend or a family member or even completely fictional. The important thing is that when looking at the wallpaper I get the impression it's showing me a memory.

Characters: unknown so misc. (if anyone knows please feel free to enlighten
So one of my favorite memories is from like 6th or 7th grade I spent fourth of July with my best friend.. We went to the beach and then went to our local park for some fireworks though we watched them in the parking lot on a blanket with a ton of pizza. It was deff. an experience I'll never forget. We sat in the ocean for HOURS and just talked about life.
I title this wallpaper "fun in the sun" which is a quote from said friend in a video I have on a DVD ;p I <3 my best friend and I miss all the memories we have together. good times, good times.

Not sure if there is much to answer here. The rules are clear when it comes to what kind of stock you can use. v_v

Covered massively huge boobage and things.. Anything that doesn't show anything so to speak.. Sort of like what we use for the dress code at a con "If you can wear it to the beach, you can wear it here, anything less is unacceptable"

@Luv_The_Unloved
Did you even look at appropriate wallpaper sizes? That doesn't even cover my 13'' screen. Which is small in the screen world. And where's the anime/manga or game in this WP?
5. Only anime/manga, games, or a show that already has a category will be accepted;
6. Allowed sizes are 4:3 (minimum 1280x960), 5:4 (minimum 1280x1024), 5:3 (wide screen, minimum 1280x768), 16:9 (wide screen, minimum 1280x720) and 16:10 (wide screen, minimum 1280x800). There is no top limit, just keep it within the aspect ratios (more info about the ratios here)!!!

Don't use PhotoBucket to host your wallpapers, because it resizes them. Submit by uploading them to AF directly.
The quality is low though and the various images blend poorly so far. Fix this too before resubmitting.

The wallpaper is at a 16:10 ratio, for those of you who are concerned for the resolution.

I'm invoking the memory of the recently discontinued Bleach anime! I have many a fond memory of moaning about filler and idolising this character for his pure awesome!

This wallpaper is about my small time with my boyfriend a few years back. He was about to go back home the next day and well, he was giving me his kisses. They were small ones but I wanted so much more. Just a few more before he leaves... just only a few more.
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~

This wallpaper reminds me of that time I was chained to a giant stained glass clock, watching (with my good eye) the Boojums on Parade. Well ... I don't really REMEMBER it exactly, but it's in my diary, so ...
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!

Re: Wallpaper of the Month [May 2012] - 1st Prize: $25 gift certificate
It's a memory of my sister and I when we went on a family picnic when I was about 5. It was a sunny day and we had fun, eating, drinking and laughing together. Good memory. :)
For some reason, I cannot upload in my album here, so I'm using my imageshack account.

NOTE: I don't own the extraction. I saved it in my hard disk and now I have no idea from what website I took it. So I claim no ownership over this image.
Category (anime): Clannad
Character name: Fuko Ibuki and Ushio Okazaki
I didn't know the characters, so thanks again for telling me @すずめ . :)

PEOPLE! Do NOT post feedback on wallpapers in this thread! That is for voting ONLY it clutters up this thread and makes it look like a disaster!
