That statement is not fully true. Yes alot of low quality walls are quarantined but this is done to prevent every single member out there who has photoshop from taking an image and slapping it on some background. If this happened then there would be a flood of poorly made walls which would outshine the good ones. This is why it is highly encouraged that people submit their walls to the sandbox before submitting so that they won't have to have their work quarantined.


As for the wall please save it onto your computer then host it on a site like

Might I suggest using a free image hosting service to host your wallpaper? The current one you are using, villagephotos.com, requires member registration, and that will prevent members from being able to view and comment on your wallpapers.

Some free image hosting services include:

Ohk sorry, it worked for my ^^;;
hang on k :P

why the hell didnt this get through, its pretty good, i like the the purple glow but the ripple things underneath looks weird
aiya! i wanna see a yakitate japan wallie XO

Well, I'm not really artistic so I can't really recommend anything. It seems fine to me. What in the world is so bad with that wall?

The person on above me is right. We have to get every single detail perfectly so it's almost impossible for photoshop first time user to get a wallie posted. Maybe they should make it less strict

I agree with schimke. Maybe you should try a wallie of Yakitate. Hope there is Kuroyanagi

BAh it's not a bad walie but the lvl of the wallies has gonne up since MT3........The orb in the midle is weird too and probably the scans weren't that good u shoud fix some stuff and try again........just don't give up........=)

I think the wallie looks quite nice(: I really not sure what is wrong with this wallie XO
Anyway, don't give up! I hope to see more of your works! -grins-

Off-topic: I never knew you like GSD! I'm a big fan of GSD >_< haha XD

What is bad in this wall is the extraction. Honestly, we have been telling you guys that a decent extraction is a must. It really determines a quality of the final wall. There is also a place in the wall, the blue-haird guy's sleeve that was cut and you did not bother to redraw the missing part. Thus redraw it. Also the scans are not clean, there is a lot of noise so you might wanna improve this as well. That is all about the wall.

And I will say it for the thousand time, there are certain requirements for wallpaper to get accepted. We do not expect new wallers to be perfect, but we do expect some basic quality requirement. So if you can honestly say that your wallpaper meets everything specified in the FAQ the more probable it will get accepted.

Quote by FAQ
How is the quality and effort of my wallpapers evaluated?(edit)
» This is an important subject, as many wallpapers are deleted every day. There are minimum effort and quality requirements for submitted wallpaper because minitokyo wants to provide high quality content and in order to reduce the leeching, since leeches are generally scared by effort.
Actually, effort is more important than quality, especially for new members. These are four points that, if followed, will greatly increase the chances of your wallpapers staying on Minitokyo.
1) Extraction. The act of taking a character out of a scan to put in your wallpaper. Polygonal lasso or pen tool + at least 500% zoom is your friend if well used, while magic wand generally makes for worse wallpapers, and shows less effort
2) Cleaning. If the scan is grainy or contains other artifacts, cleaning the image is an important point
3) Layout. A decent composition is important. A thought out wallpapers is certainly more appealing and represent a higher level of quality/effort
4) Quality and effort in designing the background. This is a topic too vast to be covered here, but try to make quality backgrounds. Monocolor or other extremely simple or filter-whore backgrounds, while nice in some cases, usually do not lead the moderator to judge your wallpaper a high effort one.
Of course we're not expecting new members, nor old ones, to be perfect in every one of this aspect, though please try to give your all. But a wallpaper trying to follow these criteria is MUCH more likely to be accepted. The art & design forum contains further help on these topics, as well as links to tutorial sites.Also a detailed description of the creation process will help the moderator judging the effort you put into your wallpaper.

I've read through this thread and I will try to mention what hasn't been said. If I repeat it... sorry in advance, but I'll just say what I can see from the top of my head :)

* Scan is grainy - either the scans are grainy, or it was the texture from the background going through the scan because you lowered the opacity of the scan. Don't lower opacities of scans... you could probably go into modes - adjustments - hue saturation to get the colours you want so it will blend in. Scans shouldn't be lowered in opacity :)

* As stated the extraction is showing. You probably would have gotten away with it if you had a light background, but since you went for a dark one, it really is noticeable- as future advice - probably pick colours according to extraction problems, or fix up your extraction problems so you won't need to be restricted by colours :D

* I don't really know what the focus of this wallpaper is. THe composition is a little messy. The guy on the left is facing left and the guy on the right is facing right- and there is a big bright light in the centre. I don't know where to look lol... centre, left or right? I suggest you switch the two scans so they are both looking towards the centre, so I only look at the one point :) If you do that though, that brings me to the next point:

* The light in the centre thingy is really blurry. The hourglass doens't look too high quality as well. I am assuming they are stocks or something or they were made by filter tutorials... but it doesn't look too good quality wise. The water down the bottom looks a bit too rough [I don't know GSD, but I'm pretty sure the art is very solid coloured, high quality and smooth] so that would probably need to be fixed up a bit. It looks like there is a bit of noise in there :)

Lastly, the top section in the sky is generally okay, but I think some more brushes and variations of brightness and colours [stick to your purples and whites though], and it should make for a nice sky :)

Anyways, those were a few suggestions~ hopefully that has probably cleared out a few more ideas [apart from extraction] to why it was also deleted :) Kudos ^.^V

oh its alright
