holy cow, here I come, logging in as usual and gets greeted by a *extraordinary drumroll* DEDICATED PIECE! This really made my day, it's such a rare occasion for me to receive stuff like this that it left me in a positively delighted state of being for the moment
<(*U*)>
What makes all of this even more terrific is that d.n Angel is one of the few series where I've watched all of the anime episodes - so I'm very familar with Dark and, Daisuke was it?
Never knew you were into poetry Nimbus, it's quite the mysterious piece you picked out and it fits Dark like a glove (=v=)b
I'm afraid I'm forced to correct you on one point though - you are the awesome one for composing this enticing mix of poetry and character - which only proves you're not limited to just creating good oc:s but also working with existing ones. I've actually had my eyes on a particular Rita Alister for some time now, she seems like she's ready to battle for the biggest main character role anyday
So thank you so much for this, it meant alot (^^,)
AND BLAARGH BELATED CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SPECTACULAR PROMOTION OF COURSE!
The problem is, I use Microsoft Paint because I don't have money for a better program. So everything I make comes out pretty dumb. I'll keep your advice in mind if I ever upgrade.
There are some thing wrong with this wallpaper and I say this not to be mean but as advice to a fellow artist.
First off let me start with the text. The text takes up a majority of the wallpaper and covers up the face of the character. This to me is a problem. If you make a wallpaper based on a character as a focus point, the character should be the focus,not the text.
Not only that the text is blocky but it has no artistic character. Its just plain boring text and in a wallpaper this isn't a good thing. Plain text works if you're typing a report in Microsoft word not on a wallpaper..
My advice to you is this,minimize the text and choose a better font (not a system font. A great place to find cool fonts is dafont.com) also make your character stand out more. As it stands right now, he blends in way too much and the text doesn't help. Summary:Less text and more contrast. That's all I have to say. I only say these things to better help you as an artist. You have the potential to be a great artist and I want you to realize that potential. I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for feedback and advice. I'm still always looking for ways to better improve my skills and I wanted to pass some of that onto you.

Wow, I'm glad you like it! Yeah, I've always loved that poem and I had meant to do something with it for a while.
