*objective evaluation*? nah! i call it my sh*tty observations.. I have to say I'm honest when I'm observing something.. nut I usually end up with complements so that no one will stab a knife behind my back :P
i admit that everything here is positive.. nothing to rant for... I'm glad its alright with you
I look forward for the other entries until dec 24, still a long time... and I'm happy for you that you learned new techniques and I hope to see them on your next walls
No worries. ^^ And I don't mind at all. Thank you in fact, for the awesome and objective evaluation!! I don't mind criticism, but it's usually harsh, so I truly appreciate your kindness. ^^ Now that I look back, I think the font would've been better a gold color..Hmm.
Thank you! And it was my pleasure to enter. I hope you get some more wonderful entries, and I shall be sure to take what I learned and put it to good use. *bows*
the sixth entry for the challenge! woot woot! thank you for entering! I am so sorry if I responded late since I'm too busy at school.
I'll now be giving a judging, I hope you won't mind
AnimePaper mood! the (strict) judging part:
This is a very beautiful wallpaper. I am impressed to the colors as they really suit the mood of the Ciel and Sebastian image. The posterization of the BG complements with the way the scan was colored and gives the wallpaper a 50% realistic atmosphere and 50% manga illustration. And it never fails. The BG posterization went very well. You didn't lack nor didn't overdo it. Very impressing.
I like the ghosts coming out to haunt everyone. But I guess they didn't worked well possible of these reasons: since they're "ghosts", they are see-through, and quite not a suitable touch for the posterized BG since its details are coming out; the color of the BG is too strong and makes the "ghosts" appear like smoke but not obviously ghosts at all. I like their realistic faces but its just that a few can only decipher they're ghosts. I haven't noticed a girl on the stairs if you didn't say so.
The text is what I'm not pleased with. I like the font but its grey color is not a suit for the color scheme. You would've picked from the BG colors. Its greyness makes the BG stand out more that the title itself.
Nevertheless, this is really a great wallpaper. This is quite, well, as of now, the most impressive wallpaper so far in the challenge. I am very stunned and speechless. This is really full of efforts. I'm happy for the things you learned during the challenge. You can use those techniques in the future. Thank You and Congratulations.

If that place is haunted by those guys, damn, it's the first thing on my visit list *q*
Love how smoothly the colors blend and how perfect the bg is for the scan. They were meant to be! just like me and Ciel
Umm, well I got a photo from the Opera House, and I played with a couple effects, cleaned the photo and matched up colors a bit. I think I used the "Dark brush" in Photoshop...but I did a couple other things...
Basically, you find something you want to work with and just play with it and experiment. ^^
LOL YES! It took a bit to adjust it all just right, but I was VERY happy with the result. The background is a highly altered version of the real Paris Opera House~ <3
