I rather like this uncharacteristic FMA image of the military folks in a totally un-FMA atmosphere. I mean, the FMA
world is based off of Europe, yet here they are in a typical Japanese high school graduation setting. Plus, Roy's
getting pwned by a dog. Very excellent. After extracting/cleaning/repairing the scan, I repainted the background in
Photoshop based on the original image, minus the building, which kind of made the image claustrophobic in my eyes.
Decided to go for the sepia-toned old photograph style, which I hadn't done in quite a long time. The wood grain
texture is blended from several photos I took of some desks.

Well, the wallpaper is really nice. First of all the scan in itself is hilarious, and somehow having it seem aged in this wall makes it even better. I suppose you aim was to recreate the feeling of a sweet/comic memory, still the aging effects you applied also somehow make it nostalgic. And I mena, it really express these feeling in a wonderful way. The title is nice as well. I'll fav this one for sure. A small consideration, while nice looking, somehow the wooden background is not perfect. Maybe it's cause of the jpeg compression, but somehow if you look at it really closely it's a lil pixelated in some parts. Still, a definite favorite. Way to go :D

Great wall! The aging effects are well executed and the placement of the text is well done. The over all feel of the wall seems appropiate and the border of the photo is well done (in that it adds to the effect of an old picture.) The background however seems... wrong somehow. I don't know, just not very wooden. Maybe it's just me. Great job anyhow!

It's too bad I can't fav this...but this is great. I always wanted to see that image as a wallpaper. I would have loved it even more if it hadn't been made into a photograph, but it still looks awsome.

It's great. I love how you make the scan looks like an old picture. I really reminds me of my good time with my old friends. For some odd reasons, I think this wallpaper gives off a bit of the sad atmosphere, not in a bad way though. I can just imagine Hawkeye or Colonel Mustang sitting at a table looking at the picture, remembering their own good memories. Hope you understand what I mean :)

Very nice work. I really like the sepia colors, they do make it seem older - something from the past. Who knows maybe they were all transfer students at one point in their lives! lol ;) The grain of the desk and picture are well done, but they both look similar to me. A little differention between the two would really set the picture off. Maybe have the pic's texture not quite so heavy as well. It detracts from the picture itself even though it does add to the aging of the pic. I'm torn really, I like it but...eh these are just opinons afterall, right? So overall, excellant work and I really like the idea and construction. Thanks for sharing!

I think it looks beautiful. Everyone's personality shnies through, so it was a great scan to use for a nostalgic piece like this. The aging looks very realistic and I like the displacement of ... theres a word for it, i know... well, i like that the scan was ina more japanese setting instead of european. Deffinately adding to the faves!
