I've got to wall more often... I'm falling behind. Oh, my life is an endless wheel of rolling agony XD . Or not.

I got tired of seeing all of the scenic wallpapers that were being produced and decided to head back to the more abstract. Abstraction is yummy.

I felt like orange. Now, you ask, how does one feel like orange? That is besides the point, you just think of how people use colors to describe how they feel and you'll know what I mean.

Decided to keep it simple, similar to another wall I've done, for the smoothness and the ability to use desktop icons. I have a fond liking of Carnelian artwork and decided to once again take to using another pretty image. I also did more of those "trademark" swirl abstractions of mine that I was creating for a while. Went back to my roots. Light sparkles and light effects helped to give more depth. Bright colors created a nice contrast against the sharp lines and the white background. Overall, just smooth :) .

Simplicity is true beauty. For even the simplist things are the most complex.

    Hm, interesting wallie. XD When I first loaded up fullview and saw that bold black "orange twist", I thought it was going to look imbalanced, because the girl has very fine lines (as per carnelian's style..). x_x Indeed, for the first few dozen seconds, I was sure it did look imbalanced. But then I wondered how else it could be, and realised I couldn't imagine it any other way. XD The stark white and general contrast on the left kinda unimbalance it.. heh. ^_^' I love the colour gradients, always, and the delicate abstract wires are nice, too. :) Gogo, roots! Cheers to another lovely wall, Tanta~<3

    (super lame your name/fanta pun really, really not intended x_x)

    nice fx (fractal flames???perhaps? XD ionno tell me) in the background...nice finally something simplistic around. it has lots of space for icons and some white style for windows, i must say i luv this if i had a somewhat whitegrey/white style in windows id use this as wallpaper, though i still have doubts that that character fits there...well the colors go nice with her dress and the ribbons. but thats just me. bleh lol i'd probably slapped some katana wielding character in there and some little sakura leaves.

    overall a great wallpaper for a desktop with few or no icons which goes really good with a white gui style.

    Abstract is indeed yummy, Tantaga! :D At first I though it was another simple wallie, but when I see it in full size, boy does it look gorgeous! The very attractive orange designs on the middle feels silky and makes up for the white borders, it actually feels real pleasant for a simple BG in my opinion! The orange colors definitely matches with the Carnelian character beautifully and I see she is as attractive as the yummy abstract designs! :) Overall, you've accomplished your goal of making a simple wallie very beautiful! U deserve a applause for your hard work, Tantaga! XD
