OK this one made me laugh.

But seriously, its a good piece. I just think its a bit blurred and all.

Wow! Nice focal point (hooters).

Anyways, you could've tried highlighting her face more. It looks really dark. The overall piece is good you just gotta bring her out more... her boobs get more attention than her face.

Gotta love this one. I'm a music man myself and I really appreciate this one.

Nice touch on the Dream piece... that's my production label.

Excellent work on this one. Nice colors and great concept.

Well Happy Birthday.... but you should've finished it first. People don't like it when you excite them.

I love your idea and all but you should really try bringing out the character more instead of just setting her there semi-transparent. The whole things fits and the color really pops but IMO if you really want this thing to pop then the character must be the centerpiece.

It looks really good though the text on the right side ain't lookin' too good for me. It just pulls you away from the feel of the wallpaper. You could try incorporating it in more subtly to, just like you said, provide connection if it does indeed turn out to be a series.

Anyways, nice work... after a long waller's block you bring out some good stuff.

Overall composition is good but you need to give it a bit more to make it pop.

First try adding more stuff in the foreground. Since you're going for a space feel, I suggest some Nebula clouds or more sparkles to just blend the stock more. And as for the stock, you can play with it a bit more to give it more action. You should also give some effort on your text work. Text doesn't always have to be read but if you're tryna send a message then it MUST be read. Also try to define a light source, the character is quite bright so try play with the lighting.

Anyways, nice effort.

LMAO!

This is some great stuff right here.

I can appreciate the character work but putting in much more body and detail could've greatly gotten you some props.

I do not see this belonging in the elite gallery though. Eighty percent of the screen is mono and the sparkle BG is too simplistic.

Your vector work on this one is admirable though I don't really think its enough.

I'd love to see a full body version of this one though.

The characters don't really blend well with the background. Also, there's no flow in the image. I suggest making it flow from Sakura to Syaoran, left to right. That means making the background suggest motion towards that direction.

The red line indicates the flow that I think the wallpaper should posses. It'll give it a sense of motion and fluidity. The area encircled in light blue are the areas that definitely need to be worked on. It completely detracts the feel of the wall from the focus of the wallpaper which are the characters. The areas highlighted by yellow are light areas that need an object to complement their illumination. As for the render, you did a good job on extract you just need to work on blending it in.

I definitely agree with your idea of Syaoran watching over Sakura but you need to convey it more on this one, not just rely on the render. The character have good action but you definitely have to work on the background. It just doesn't suit this one. I understand that you took some time to finish this one but try giving it a little more.

Excellent work on putting this one together.

Hey you wouldn't mind If I print this out and use it as a decal on some kid stuff. Don't worry I won't sell it.

This piece is very good. I love the look and feel of it.

You did a great job on the linework on the character and the overall texture complements the piece very well.

Is that fire on the background? Its kinda hard to tell. And IMO, it doesn't really go well with the foreground. I understand what's the meaning of this piece but it just doesn't feel in sync with the character and flowers and all.

Click me!

The areas highlighted by red are areas of contrast. Light foreground on light background doesn't go very well. Though the large strokes does help defining your character more. You could also try giving it a more defined blazing inferno background. The more animated it looks or the more sense of motion it conveys will definitely bring the focus on the character.

The flowers on the upper left side doesn't look balanced (highlighted by white). They look like they were just copy-pasted on there. Also the branch that's behind the character looks like its part of her hair (highlighted with cyan). It looks off. I suggest moving it around her silhouette and try to work out its angle and position. And I don't know if I should mention this but you're signature is rather large and the Vista-esque taskbar... definitely overkill.

Overall you got great stuff here. I love the detail work on the flower and characters but its definitely the background that needs work.

Simply spectacular.

I keep tryin' to remind myself that this is a "simple-ism" wallpaper and any suggestion I provide is going to upset the already delightful simplicity and beauty this piece already possesses.

Good luck on the contest!

I like the idea behind this but let me point out some things that you might find helpful:

First off, you could try putting in more details like shadows and a little more texture. With your medium, you could achieve that with no problem. Another is lighting and reflection. The water on the right is directly being shined on by the moon which is a light source. You could try brightening the water nearest it and giving the mountain/hill on the left some more light. Also, the image looks very dark and I don't feel that's the feel you're trying to portray here. There are also scattered light sources which to me don't look like stars since they reach down towards to water but with no reflection to suggest they are near, one is left to wonder what they are. Most of all there is no clear focal point. The brightest part of the moon is in deep contrast with the mountain/hill which pulls the eyes towards the lightest part which is the moon, though the focal here should be the center of the image where the girls and the moon are closest.

This is an inspiring piece of art yet you can do better.

Good stuff right here.

Love the overall feel of it though you could take some more time on it and add in more detail. Overall it looks plain but by photography standards its looks very good. Try puttin' in a little more movement in the background. Some human sillhouettes or just trees, I think, can pull it off.

All in all, its good enough but could be better.

I don't like the blurred background. You could've tried some other techniques to set the focal point onto the characters. Another thing you should note is that the overall wallpaper is very dark. It totally contradicts the facial expression of the characters.

Ewan ko kung sineseryoso mo pa mga suggestions ko pero eto pa rin just like the usual:

Nice work on the shading and detail. Everything pops but lemme point out some things that needs a little work.

Check out sousuke's left hand... it looks like akward. Another thing is the position of his neck and the direction at which he's lookin' at. That's all.

Pero all in all pare, sapul mo. I'd like it better kung medyo nage-emote pa si Kaname. Alam mo... yung may tears effect pa...

Nice job, pare.

Mad skills right there... hahaha... props!

Anlakas ng dating...

I suppose the Gawain is completely lost now... *cries*

But still... I can still see that the Gekka Todou and Guren MkII are still alive... ahhh such beautiful machines.

Thanks for sharing this one. Now I can rest easy that some of the mech's are staying...

Oh yeah... If anyone can provide scans of the Gekka Toudou and Gloucester Cornelia KnightMares, they will be very very very much appreciated!

Now that makes me feel something... especially since I'm known to always say I'll "Rap for Food"...

Mad props to you and your nice detail and shading work bro. Some things are off, but not that much.

Faith and Hope... reminds me of Guilty Gear...

For some reason, I just remembered something when I saw this...

"Excuse me, sir... Can I have some dong?"

shrugs

"Why yes I can..."

Nice extraction and great theme... yet it doesn't really reflect that Wintery feeling very much... I suppose the vector shapes don't scream "CHILL" to me... hehhee

Anyways, I'm still sayin' you've got a good sub here.

I appreciate how much fine detail you've placed into this and the actual scene is something I'm kinda interested in.

Though I must point out some minor things that could give this a little pop like facial expression and posture. Also a little bit of shading here and there and you've got something goin' on...
