Hi there! well....my wallie was deleted from the gallery...so i wanted to ask you...please for advice to improve my work or...to know what is not so good with my walie...I will be thankful :)

Here it is:
MY wallie: "Dreaming..."

By the way....my wallies is from Card Captor Sakura...sorry for not writing it in the thread title T_T

um.. im not really good at giving advice but... i think it may be because the background is bit too simple since its plain black with some stars around. The sharp words are a bit contrast compared to sakura and the stars which give off a soft/blur image. Other than that i really don't know xD.... maybe someone can give better advice >.<.

It's a very simplistic desktop background, and it looks like not a lot of work was put into it. Maybe 1 or 2 hours, but no more than that.

If you want a wall to be accepted, it has to look like you put in work, such as vectoring the image and using filters and renders to make the background really stand out. Also, color coordination is important too. That bright blue and yellow Sakura on a black background with yellow and orange stars doesn't seem to work quite right.

Too simple I must agree on that. The background is mainly black which has more dominance and the stars plus Sakura seem too simple and all of that could've tooken maybe about 1 hrs I'd say. :o

Must some more effect like sparkles and something that could've tooken just 6 hrs to do all of that in the wallpaper or just make it look like there was enough effort you did or you should give reasons that the simplity should be left like that or else any more would just ruin the wallpaper.

I would use a higher quality and less blurry scan, for one thing. The background is too simple- just the stars won't cut it. Maybe adding a cloud stock photo and then painting it to make it blend in with the scan? The stars could also be less blurry, and what I mean by that is the actual shape of it, rather than just the glow around it. The title font is kind of boring too, give it some flare if you know what I mean. ;)

First of all... Sorry for replying late and Thank you! to all of you!

Now...I should say that this is the first time I ask for advice here...so maybe I should have explained how I made the wall ^^" (srry for not writing it).

Instead of what you think...it took me a day to do this wallpaper...I know I'm so slow T_T...but I'm still learning...so I like to try different effects, positions, shapes, filters, tools and every time I make a wallie I discover smething new XD...so about the wallie...

I used two filters for the complete thing (one of them was the gaussian blur, I think the other was to adding noise...)...I think the scan quality is OK...it just look like that because of the filters... :( and I actually made smaller the scan...

Now I have a couple of questions for you:

- Do you think it would be better if I use a bigger size for the scan? ( I mean the same scan...the original size was bigger so it won't see weird)

- About the comment of the colors...I used the same colors of the stars of the scan so I don't get why does it seem too well...it would be better to use different colors or maybe more? I got a bit confused ^^"

P.D. : I wiil try the thing about the sparkles n.n

DEFINETELY USE A LARGER, CLEARER SCAN.

You need something going on in the bg like bromithia said. It's not minimalist at this point, it's too simplistic. Browse through the galleries to get an idea of what a good concept looks like.

i think it is too small sakura at the corner
making your wallie too blank and simple
that's why it got deleted
why dun u add more stuff to it lah
i really like the sakura at the corner
but ur background is really too simple and bland !
why dun u change the background
to sth like the night sky or the moon lah
make the background more awesome to make the ppl
dun delete it lah

hmmm......
I think a nature background suits the character eg night sky when the moon is cresent shape ;)
The stars i think need to be more glitter like stars from heaven and the words can be curly/swirly or glowing ;)
I like ur idea of the whole concept and the position the charater is in XD
Kempate ! :D

Hi, everybody! My question isn't really connected to this... In the "Range Murata" category there were two walls, one about Last Exile and another 1920* 1200 from Lyra-Science that got deleted... I thought they weren't too simple: so how this browse searching works?
