I don't know how to submit walls anymore so I guess I post it here... :nya:

I made this for my sister's birthday a while ago. I think it's the first one I've ever made with no stock images and such, so it made me happy. XP Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm going to make any more changes, but any advice is still appreciated. Scan is from the DPG artbook. Hope you like.

Control panel - submit wallpaper? >_> lol

Well everything is done nicely- I would probably suggest another font instead of the one you're using now, and for the moon to be less saturated and bright (or else you would need to think about the lighting in the wallpaper). Hmmm and then brushwork around Kenshin might need to be blended in a little more. Other than that though, great find for the scan and very nice colours and composition :)

This is quite nice ;) oh, go to control panel to submit walls :D
Anyway, I think you could make the trees near him a bit brighter, considering you can actually see Kenshin you should be able to see the trees near him.. and the shine on his blade is kinda impossible since the moon is behind him :)
Other than that, I think the color and composition itself has no problem ;) but maybe you would wanna make the colors of the leaves a bit more mixed and vary it more >_< oh, and make some looks solid, it looks kinda too blurrish :D

Nice wall, only need a bit tweaking :)

The font is a little boring, but if you're going for a clean look then it's fine. Also, the only visible light source is the moon and with the sword being held like that a reflection to the camera is impossible. If you had the reflection coming off of the edge of the blade instead of the side then it would be fine.

but hey, this is great go ahead and submit... I'll just steal it now while it's free^_^

That's really cool. *gonk*

But I hate the text. I'm sorry, but I hate it. The underline is bad. Don't use underlines. >.<* Also, that font is too common, and it's ugly. And the plain color is not a matter of "going for the clean look"; it just looks bad for this wall.

I would recommend changing the font and adding a small, simple effect behind the text in order to make it blend better.

Very nice and cool but you may want to blend the scan into the background more though.It does kinda remind me of when he fought Shishio with the leaves like that.The colors and they you made it seems unrealistic in anime sense but it's very cool on how you made it.
I don't mind the font though it does seem out of place like that .Maybe having the font going vertical on the right hand side but that's just a suggestion.
Any ways it's still a nice wallpaper and concept.

It's a nice concept. Every thing is well layed out. The light in the back, is a little too bright kinda like trying to stair into a light bulb Maybe try a different shade or btightness! But other wise it's layed out well and has a good thought behind it good job!

It's a nice beginning and a nice concept, but I suggest some improvements.

* The moon looks a bit too much like a plain circle. I suggest you try out some tutorials for planets and moons. & while you're at it, why not add some stars to that empty sky, too?

* The foreground looks a bit flat and plain, especially at the base of the trees. I think it would benefit from some grass. There's a nice tutorial for that at Ningen's.

* The leaves are a bit too blurry and lack substance. Try some other leaf brushes. I know there's a pretty nice one in the Photoshop default brushes, even if it's a bit overused. ^_^'

* The text really needs some work. The font is too standard, and looks too plain without any creative arrangement. The underline is heavy, and just cuts the image. Also, the text color blends into the bg too much.

With some work, I think this could be a very nice wall. Hope this helps. :)

I don't like the text; is it necessary for the artwork to be a success? Kenshin's face also looks overexposed.


Other than that, I really like this. It's got a nice mood.

I will have to agree with most of the stuff posted before this.

There is one thing I would like to stress though. The lighting is off... It is not possiblr to have light reflection on the sword so huge at night and besides the lighting comes from behind Kenshin so its impossible to have light reflection on the sword.

Also, Kenshin is too bright. If the moon is behind an object at such brightmess, the object would appear as a silloutette (not sure how to spell this word). In this case, what you could do is make kenshin darker and add a flare to the sides (Imagine an elclispe of the moon whrer ther is stary light around the moon if its directly infront of the sun).

Great effort on not using stock art in this wall.

OH MY GOD ITS COOL why did they reject that?
