umm..well just got back from vacation a couple days ago and i guess i feel wallpaper-ish again O___o
so i put together this depressing outlook on the world today, the Apocalypse.
actually alot of people said theyd wall this scan so dont be annoyed to see it again ^_^"
i know the changes on the scan arent that great, and maybe some would say im lazy etc.
but thinking fully, it was difficult just to decide on things and techs to actually complement the scan, even if they
are subtle >.>
i started by extracting the sky because the current one was a bit too watercoloured look. but i eyedropped the same
colors and put the sky in a lower layer with various grunge brushing.
i also decided to make a smoke column rise from the mountain in the bg cause i thought it looked appropriate for
evangilion, which apparently everyone dies in the end anyway...so why not die in this scene?
the brush i was using for the smoke had pretty rough edges so i had to do a subtle erase and layer a bunch of smoke
layers behind the mountain layer and infront of it.
also desaturated the original scan.
extracted a stock airplane and multiplied it into a herd of them dropping bombs and stuff.
also, looking at the top submits in the NGE section, id say that it lacks the proper depth of work that is needed to fully portray the plot of evangilion. right now if i didnt know the story or could read or whatever, id think that its pretty shallow only cause thats all i see as most popular subs from the anime ^__^'

thats all >_>

well, the atmosphere definitely reminds me of the one in the series (manga version, didn't see the anime >.<).... too bad it looks so much like the original scan... still, i like the new darker feel on this one, and love those planes... even if they all look the same >.< still, good job, and welcome back!

First off, welcome back Kai ~ hope you had a nice vacation.
Great atmosphere you've created and the changes you've made to the original scan really helps with that. I've never read/seen NGE, but the artwork on the scan looks very nice. The background you created is neat and I love how you incorporated a grunge look to it but still maintain a realistic mood. Only issue I have is that the background looks kinda flat. The sky and the smoke seem to be at the same distance from the characters, as if it's all on the same vertical plane - it's lacking some dimensional depth. Sorry, if that doesn't make any sense, it's kinda hard to describe.
Overall, it's still a great conceptual wallpaper; and to quote SharinganKnight, 'and it says "kai" all over it'

Welcome back Kai~ Hope you're refreshed now and submit more of your excellent work! It really has been a while since your last wall~ But comparing the original scan and your submission, most of the things are already there~ However, i liked how you transformed the original scan and made it look so nice and different! Guess i'll just fav it then~ Keep up the good work btw~! ^^

Bah! I can't believe I didn't notice this! It's beautiful...
I love the atmosphere of the entire piece, and simply the kind of melancholy feel of the whole thing.
It's just really, really beautiful. +fav -

the bird is a bit too big, and too noticable, atleast if you ask me. otherwise the image is nice, except for the large and loooooong white text in the bottom, irritating, just irritating... could be smaller or a less noticable color. :/
omglolokthxbye -^-^-

Owch, that car is hot rofl. I love the more modern scans - they just look less .. cheap I guess. @__@;; Shigh. Colour on this one is rather gorgeous. I`ve always wondered `bout how this type of image look on walls. Frownfrown - for a strange reason it looks very chinese lmao! .__.;; pshh, that's craaazy.
Like the background heaps. The grass looks great - more natrual than anything I`ve seen in a while. Sky, birds .. that does it for me. Romantic - neess. Rainy day picnics actually seem more appealing now hah. Mhm, yeah I like it Kai.
EDIT. Right, they were planes. X3 God, that's unromantic lols.

Fwee! Kai's back!
Anyway, great wall, sort of grunge-ish sort of not... Interesting style. A very depressing, defeated feel eminates from this wall. I like it quite a bit. As always the scan is perfect for the scene, and very clean and clear. the texture/effect thing is well used as well. The planes in the background are a rather nice touch, and I don't know if that is supposed to be smoke in the background right there under and behind the word Apocalypse, but it looks great and your fading out of the background was well executed. Excellent wall! As always. ^_^
