Hello there. here is my new walle. I'd like to ask you wether it is good enough t obe published or if not then what should I change in it... do not hestitate to tell me everything... :) I'm also open for good advices how to improve quality of my wallies.... anyway here you go...

Renji: :)

humm for me, this wall is quite good, esp in quality ^_^
- i love the so clear scan and your extraction is excellent :) , but the the outer glow you put in look...so weird..as for me, i hardly use outer glow for my scan, sometimes :) but when you use it, use something to fit both the scan and the BG, do you see your so brown glow make renji seem to be...out of the wall because of the white main color :\
- the...humm >_< i dont know how to call..and dont really remember the effect, but it's just...seem to be a drawing..compare to a so-clear scan, really look like the two different part, you cant blend this two together after all :\ , each part(scan and bg) has its different style but to mix together...no :\
- the text: i luv this ^_^, nice effect and nice style :D it's really fit ^_^, but some of it is hard to see...but that's not the main point though

so yuor ponit is to not use glow or to find a connection between glow and background? What do you suggest?

if i were you, i'll not use outer glow or even if i use, a light yellow with narrow size of glow is better i guess :)

Well I deleted glow, just like you advised. Take a look at the wallie now... :)

as my view it looks better :)
but that's not the main point all though :(
as i said, the scan is so clear but the background looks like a drawing, i dont think they fit each other :\
why didnt you try in a new style of background, such as a lil abstract or scene or magical, it'll fit the scan better ^_^

Well I made some changes in wallie, here are the results. Although I couldn't find those styles... what prog do you use?

as for my taste, i prefer the first one.
but..again but XD the outline is still too artistic, which is doesnt fit the clear scan of your. if i have to say, then...dont use PS Filter so clearly like that, it only ruin the wall. i dont satisfy with any of your wall really . As for the first one is better, i prefer it to have a clear outine :\

Maybe its just me, or this may be considered as another form of ghosting... the lack of a definite landscape background makes me feel rather unsure about this wall.

I could not modify the background though there is small problem. Scan is not in very good quality. It has sharp edges and resized looks really awfull. What can I do to improve it's quality?

What do you think about that: http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/3879/hehrf6.th.jpg I guess I need to modify background and add some text but still, do you find this a good idea? Also squares in lefy upper side should be black instead of pink... :)

I like the last one the orange colored backing, it makes it look more manga-ish like the character is out of the book

Well I drop in my two cents. :)

I do like the versions without the glow effect, and I really like the 1st of the four versions posted (the one with Renji colored in the background). Though I find that in this wall the outlines of the large image are quite harsh and take away from the peice. I'd take the colors and use them in the very first post of the wall's background version.

In actuallity - I think that the wall without the clear scan of Renji in the corner would be just as sweet. You might be trying to do too much with this. Because of the agressive nature of the large image juxtaposed against a more calmed smaller image it seems a little off to me. The images are competing against one another. You definately have a great looking wall, and I'd say you should post the finalized verison in the gallery - Good luck!

I think that I like the very first version of your Renji wallpaper the best... all the new ones are just ugly. =P

But for all versions, I don't think that MT will accept any of them. In all cases the only background is a scan with a filter. The most challenging part of this wall would have been the extraction. It would be like... extract scan, add background scan, filter background scan, add text--ta-dah, done. And the gods of MT wouldn't like that very much. ;P

As for the Byakuya one... you have a nice start but... the background is too simple, and a little messy-looking... like... the squares are sort of randomly-placed, it seems, and kind of blurry. Also, the extraction is pretty bad so you'll want to fix that. I like the falling petals, though.

Also, a nice trick for improving the quality of any scan is to duplicate it and change the layer mode to "Overlay", then to apply a Gaussian blur to the overlay layer.

I like the walllpaper the way it is, I thinks excellent! Renji's awesome! Love BLEACH!

Very nice, the contrast between the clear picture of the foreground and the grainier bankaii picture in the background makes for a nice wallpaper.
