Those damn light energy effects take forever when you have to make them at large sizes XD . With that said, please view in FULL-VIEW. For the most part, I am happy with the way this wall turned out, while not technically perfect, I am happy with the portrayal of my original concept.
The scene is supposed to be in a darkened tower far in the sky, where an elf is being held captive. She is allowed free roam of the tower, but she obviously has been forbidden to leave. Despite this, she secretly plans her escape by practicing the weaving of spells ... so she may soon break herself free. In the current scene, she is summoning her little helper fairy to go and help her with this task by summoning her friends.
The sun is beggining to lower, casting the plant covered tower in darkness. Small laterns light up the walkway of the corridor, but the only real light is that of the light emitted from the fading sunlight and sky ... and the light being generated by her as she playfully runs through the halls casting spells. In a sense, she is the only light in this world of darkness. She smiles happily, for she knows that she will soon be out of this tower and back in her elven forest ... after her and her friends beat up the baddies of course :nya: .

It's a very nice concept, and the wall itself looks great too^^ All your colours match together well and the composition's very neat. I really like the light energy effects, the time and effort you put in it really pays off^^
Really great work! -

That's great! I love this scan. The bg fits very well to the scan. The lush green and yellow against a black silhouette gives a grand effect. ;) The vines hanging down is an awesome touch to the fantasy-ish style of the wallpaper. Might I ask how you made them? :D This reminds me of fairy tales too. :nya: A must fave.

like the idea and the concept, like the light effects ~!
but there are things you could improve on it =)
-i think....you need alittle bit mroe work on the extraction
-the style of the scan doesn't really fit the sillhouette some how...
-the walls around those fire light things on the wall should be lighten up
but the colours matches pretty well ^_^ nice job tantaga =)~! keep the works ^_^~! -

ahhh.. very pretty wallpaper. great concept!
i luv the green in this wall.. goes so well with the scan.
i think it's great... especially the sparkly-smokey sorta thing at the bottom of the scan.. looks so pretty and i still dunno how to do it u_u
there are a couple of downsides to this though...
it's a pity that the scan quality isn't that flash and you might wanna just have a look at the pixellated leaves.. it's hard to tell and even harder to fix, but it thought i'd just let you know.
but nevertheless, it's a really nice wall. great work!

Interesting little concept you have there, Skye! :) The helper fairy looks so damn cute and the elf, which I feel sorry for being held captive (*yup, I read your cool story*), blends so well with the garden-like BG even though she looks like a drawing! :) The sparkling magic effects, while feeling a bit out of place, is very effective in bringing life to the two characters! I must say, it seems your have a story for every wallie U design, Skye! XD

O_O the lighteffects, the lighteffects XD gota say, thats what really makes this one ^^
the bg is really well thought out and the trailing vines are a great addition. the sligh reflections of light on the railing pillars adds a small touch of the realistic element too the whole thing.
the sky behind brings out the alive plant theme here.
overall, id say you have urself a fav XD nice one -

wow, i'm so glad i stumbled upon your wall, and it definitely needs to be downloaded full size to see all of your details. thanks for the description of your wall because it highlights the very interesting and creative idea behind your wall. your light effects look great and really adds to the magical theme of your wall, and the background image of the tower she's locked up in look nice, as well. i also like the overall green color scheme in the sky and lights because it adds an earthy feel to your wall. :D

I'm always loving the little energy effects you put in your walls --- they're all nice touches. The silhouettes of the plants also look great... gives a nice foresty feel. The scan looks a bit out of place with the sharp background but it's not that noticable.
Awesome wall. 'Nuff said. :nya:

Oooh, lovely concept! I'm not sure if I like the little fairy actually... maybe something about the way she looks. But I love everything else. The light effects are cool (although they can be "neater"), the background colors are awesome and complement the colors of the scan really well, the plants drooping from the window adds a really nice mystical feel to the wall, and I love the work that you put in on the little details, like the green fairy figures on the wall... looks like a picture out of a lovely fantasy story. Great job!
