Sakura wallpaper! :D what does everyone think of it? :o

Well I think it's basically okay but maybe you want to consider a change on the background. I'd try to put a lanscape in there instead of the characters.

It's pretty ^_^
I think that she's too bright and colorful comparing to the pale bg. Maybe if you could bring a little more color to the bg, not much, it would look better ^_^
I liked your idea :)

It's pretty...but I think that you shouldn't fade the charas in the back and make it so it matches Sakura-chan in the front with Mokona! It's pretty bright too but it's okay! And then maybe try a little bit more "things in the background"...But keep it up, it's a great concept!

same comment as the rest.. sakura seemed much too saturated.. too bright for the eye. i quite like the background though. but thought maybe you could make it more.. i dunno but add some more stuff.. yet keep it simple..

Maybe a landscape wallpaper? x.x I dunno if I can do that.....because the program I'm using currently have very and I mean Very little tutorials on that (maybe one or two only T_T) But I edited the old one and added in more colour plus some new stuff at the top. Two versions, one without the colour improvement and one with it.

Well, what you could do instead is remove sakura from the grp in the bg, so it's more like the bg n the char are together, making it seem as though sakura's just ahead of the grp

ps- remove the manjuu from the grp as well, leaving just the one she's holding:)

The extraction needs more work >.< Try to blend Sakura more into the background. Maybe a gaussian blur and putting it behind the scan should be good enough.
Actually, I would recommend you to remove the whole group altogether, make it a scenic wall. It -should- be better X3

You need to work more on the scan extraction.
I agree on BiNumber3's suggestion, try to make the wallie seems as Sakura is ahead from the group...and er... try to remove those chibi characs, they're quite unrelated to the whole design..><.
and one thing, Sakura is too bright compare to the background and the group of characters.

* The scan extraction is a definite concern, especially around her hair. I recommend trying the pen tool for those tight spaces.

* The bg...needs a lot of work. What it looks like to me is a character image pasted on another scan (correct me if I'm wrong ^_^' ). Unfortunately, that's considered a 5-minute wall. Also, having repeated images of characters, and those cutouts, is also distracting from the main image. What I suggest is that you really look into a scenic wall, if that's what you want. There's a thread by Sheqel on tutorials that you can look into. Some other good places to start are Imanimetions.net and goodtutorials.com.

Hope this helps. :)

It's much too light colored for my tastes. Very pale, white backgrounds hurt my eyes, so I tend to go for darker colors or more subdued tones.

Like what blusake said. The wall looks like a cut and paste job. If you want to incorporate mutliple images of the characters then try a more artistic style. Such as having the main character and a flimstrip in the background (I know its cliche but you got to excuse the lack of ideas now as I'm feeling very tired and quite brain dead after a full day of work). This is just a way to do it. I'm sure that you can think for something better.

The extraction needs to be smoother. I would suggest the pen tool for it. But if you are to lazy or are not very good with the pen tool then try the magnetic lasso(with very steady hands and many intervals though).

Another thing is the circles with the chibi characters in it. It kind of takes the focus off the main image. It is always good to note that too many elements in a wall could spoil it. Empty space can be as powerful or even more powerful than filled space. Of course, everything in moderation.

Great effort on the clouds (you did make them yourself rite).

http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/3373/sakuramemory24bg.th.jpg I worked on the scenic one first, hopefully its a lot better. At least from what I think. x.x And also, I'm using photoplus, it does not have pen tool or the magnetic lasso <.<
And blusake, you're right >o< The background is sort of "pasted over" I'll be redoing it.

Total transformation x_x Not bad at all. The extraction of her hair is still a bit rough though, and some ends are cut off.

Hmm, maybe place an outer glow on Sakura as her hair is still fuzzy...I like the new one better than the original...good joB

I would suggest that you re-extract the chara image.

Maybe just blend the edges of her hair in the back a bit more? You could use a little bit of mist to cover some up if you want to or feather it a bit? Great wallie sofar, I look forward to seeing it when it is done :)

I think that it is an extremely sweet work

Well, I have a png of that image you used on that wall. If you would like, pm me or write in my guestbook and I'll post the png for you.
I think the wall looks pretty nice, although the text doesn't really seem to fit, I think you should change the color or something. Besides that, great job! :)

i like it from the start to the end^^

I loved the backgrund, but as everybody have said, I'd suggest that you should try to extract Sakura again...
her hair is awful... >.<

As another adivice, why don't try some feathers in the back? ;)
That should feat more the title! ^-^

Definitely a huge improvement. I like the background much more than the origninal. I would suggest something instead of text and the Mokona stamp to balance the wall. I like the idea of feathers. There are several images in the gallery featuring Sakura's feathers. I think that one of her feathers glowing softly and then other feathers as part of the background would be much better. You've made a not-so-good wall into a really downloadable one! EXTRACT and all shall be forgiven.

like everybody else said: extract the chara image again. Clean up the hair this time XD
- The chara blends better with the new background, but it could still blend better (though i really dunno how. sorry -_-)
- the left side is the slightest bit plain. either add in a new element there, or make the background there slightly (ever so slightly) stick out more.

well, hopefully that was of some help. i apologize if my post offended you. -_-
