>__> All my wallpapers keep going under quarentine for the same reasons which I don't agree with. This is the wallpaper I got the most feedback from, but now I can't read any of that feedback because of the stupid quarentine >_< They might have been praises or even better- CRITIQUES.

First of all I think the way you placed your wallpaper is a little odd... Why did you put it into the left corner? Do you have your desktop icons on the right? Even if you do... I think the wallpaper design should not stop that abruptly. It's just black at the right and buttom... and I cannot see an idea behind it, a meaning so it looks as if you had run out of ideas.
The problem of this wall may be the second scan that is taking most of the space even though it is designed like a background shape. That may be considered as ghosting which is probably why your wallpaper wasput into quarantine. Try to be creative... think of a main concept for your wallpaper instead of just somehow filling the background.
Another thing is that the wallpaper doesn't really look clean. I cannot even tell anymore whether the original scan was a bit messy already... because there are so many brushes... You used this text... does this have a meaning? It does look a little randomly placed.

I like the idea of the text but it was pretty random in execution. I also like the photo-negative idea of the background scan with the character in the front. I would say that the character in the front needs to be more obviously the center of the attention. Leave her more clear and less altered. I would take the second scan, the background, and make it larger and less intense. Not a ghost, a part of the background by having it be filtered with the rest of your background techniques. even if you leave it just the way it is but do something with negative space it will be an improvement. It doesn't have to be dramatic, just something that makes the entire screen part of the wallpaper.

Oh sweet sweet critisim ^^ Thanks for the advice. This wall was orgianlly part of a website layout I made but scrapped.

well here's what i think:
- It's a bit too dark. Maybe that's what you wanted, but it's kinda too much. It's like total blackness or something. Try using different shades instead (though i have no idea how -_-)
- Like the others said, use the whole screen. The black areas on the right and bottom sides are probably the one of the reasons it got quarantined.
- The image looks... something like static on broken tv (what i usually call ants at war XD) I dunno if that was the effect you were after or not, but if it was, it's a good idea to state so when you post the revised version

Well, i hope it was of some help to you.. and i meant no offense whatsoever in my post, and apologize if you feel offended

Really? Ohm i really like it! Love the darkness and the grunge! You used such cool scans of Lucy! The only thing bad is the black area. Try taking it out, the whole is really cool!
