Hmmm... something dramatic and war or world end related in non-fancy fancy. Maybe... 'Kings' with big letters and below 'world is our playground'. Or, 'Justice --- a mad game we love to play' now that sounds so awesome, I'm surprised myself XD Since Lulu has a weird justice concept that's achieved by war.
its alright... i'm glad that my strict (?) judging didn't offend you... judging is just a clash of one's personal insights with what he/she sees
so I'm just interpreting what I see... and i really think its about time to enhance the analyzing part since I read description to give me an idea of the artist's perspective...
Noooooooooo, I try to stop my addiction to text on my works XD
Thanks for your comment !
For the BG, I was trying to show the end of something so, it had to look a little like destruction (and that fits them, for sure XD).
Oh boy this really needs some badass text XD
Love the grunge and the scan, they look amazing with their stoic look. I'm not really sure what's happening in the bg, but it looks like a war to me so it fits them just right <3
Thanks a loooot for your so constructive comment !!
I love them they make me improve~~♪
About the end of the world part, actually, I was really really in a rush when I posted it and I went to the main point. The word I wanted to use was more Apocalypse in the original meaning : the end of a world and the beginning of an other. So, there's a end of the world but it's for creating an other. Lelouch's will, actually XD
Maybe it looks complicated... Sorry, I have a very complicated way of thinking and seeing things XD Must be because I do Letter Studies and we analyze everything >.<
The chairs... When I decided to use that scan, I was first thinking of a closed place, like inside a castle or something. But, it wasn't following that Apocalypse idea I had.
Let's imagine there was a castle but it's all destroy and just the chairs stay 8D (Imagination... XD)
The pictures I used... Well, I'm gonna put them from my computer on my photobucket (Lazyness... U_U)
i never expected that you'll dedicate this to me (didn't I mention in the rules that you should dedicate this to someone deserving!?) i shall now give judging to your entry... a STRICT judging. (i hope you won't be offended)
Since I always look at your new wallpapers... I can say (the way I observe it) that you make wallpapers through clever blending of random textures and doing the work of making the image a whole new one. I usually see your works as colorful and bright, so this is one of your RARE grunge ones.
I'd like to see each of the textures you used (since I'm too lazy to search them) but the way I understand the description, you used the uber dark textures and thought of a strategy to match it with the scan no matter what.
I believe you managed to do it. Despite that the some of your sources are real photos (which really doesn't fit with an anime image). I give praise for that.
(AnimePaper mood!) the strict judging part:
The overall wallpaper looks detailed and nice. Though what bothered me was the "end of the world" look you're mentioning as the wallpaper concept. Personally, I think the look of the BG contrasts with what you wanted it to look like. I see the BG as an outside sunset scene. The sunset usually represents "end of today and a new day tomorrow". So I guess the wallpaper itself clashes with what your plans were.
Also the outside scenery of the BG somehow makes the scan inappropriate for it. I guess you would've done two things:
1. Remove the chair on the Suzaku and Lelouch or
2. Retain the chair but use a different scenery
----------------------
Overall the wallpaper is very stunning (as always) and I see a lot of efforts put in this one. And you followed the rules. That's a good job there! So, as for the challenge:
