Konnichiwa boys and girls from the sandbox!

I just wanted to tell you that my Card Captor Sakura Wallie was finally accepted n.n

Thank you to all of you for your advice and I hope you can see the final result XD

*~In my dreams~* by flordeplata

I see.....congratulations! :D but you can at least credit them in your wallie description, or inform them by writing in their guestbook ^_^' need not create another tread for this............ :)

...
it was accepted...for at least a moment....but is already been deleted...wonder why?

you need to work on the extraction. Also, the text is hard to read because of all the swirls. My advice is to leave the swirly letter as the first letter for each word, but make the rest of the letters in that work simple font, like times new roman or century gothic. You also dont have much that puts the background and the character together...if you want to make it look more like a night sky or less cluttered, I would overlay those tiny star sparkles and lower the opacity. Your wallpaper just looks wayy too cluttered. I would also move sakura down and towards the center of the wallpaper more because it doesnt look like shes the main focus of the wall as of now - the text is taking up a lot of the attention.

heres a site with a good extraction tutorial - http://www.imanimetions.net/tutorial/tutorial.php?view=extract

good luck! Im sure you'll get it in soon XD

Waaa! WTH why? ? ? ? It was on the gallery like 16 hours!or 20! I've never seen this! ! If he didn't like it why did he leave it for that long time in the gallery? ? it's weird ¬_¬ ....well sorry but I made a sort of promisse to not make another version of this wallie...(can you believe I did like 4 versions?) yes...I will do more wallies and try more techniques but believe me I don't like the way of...changing and changing the original idea because all what I get is like lack of inspiration...I do like my wallie...and i tried to make it better but at this point I'm gonna just move forward and try to do a "better job" for my next works...ok? I hope you'll understand...

P.D.: Thank you for the final advice...I'll take into account...for my next ones :)

Oh, the irony...

Please post it in the sandbox, and maybe we can tell you why.

Good luck and success for next time n_n.

Do realise that gallery moderators are not on MT every single moment, so it may take a while for them to go through the gallery (new submissions). There's no time limit to how long a wallpaper stays in the gallery before it's deleted for policy violations. I've even seen 100wk old walls being deleted, so the time's not a factor here.

Your wallpaper, although looks much improved from the first version, still uses filters (the default cloud render in PS) for the background, which the policy says

Quote: You may not submit any artwork which when viewed is clearly indicative of extremely low quality and effort. The following compositional and technical weaknesses may result in the deletion of your artwork if they are significantly present in the submission:
# "brush-whore" or "filter-whore," depending on overall quality

Instead of using default PS filters or brushes, use some other methods of creating the background, such as stock photos (with some modification), gradients, etc.

Finally, don't give up. You've come a long way from your first version ^__^

Yup, try again. Look up some stock photos on the web and check up some tutorials. G'luck
