Original Wall

the judges decided that my original wall would have a point deducted from the score for the rule violation hence why i made an alternate version. this version is essentially just one of the boxes in the first wall fitted to standalone. im honestly not to happy with this one but if i have a better chance in competition with this, then ill probably submit this one. standalone, the wall was really bland imo. because of this, i changed the colors to be a little darker and interesting. the cigarette smoke was added and the text was made a bit more complex here. overall, it would be nice to see what people think of each. if this one is not much worse then my original then ill submit it, while if it is, then i may as well just take the deduction and submit the original.

just directly quoting my descrip from the original wall:
the third box which shows Nana puffing away at a cig and the one under it which shows her singing represents escapes. Smoking and other drugs can let you shortly experience pleasure or a quick high that lets you escape from your troubles. Though this effect is only short term and the longterm result is that one becomes dependent on that escape and in this case, will fatally hurt you and others. Such things like music, watching anime, or painting can let one vent their feelings through a brush or whatever form one may use, but like any other escape, it is not a solution and only provides mental relief. Putting your heart and soul into a painting will not make you a better person or overcome your troubles. These types of activities can indeed help a person overcome hardships but they cannot be 100% depended on.

    Wow. It looks like Cowboy Bebop gothic. An interesting play on the Bebop op...

    hey, could you send me one of your original. on another note, i hate you. i do, why do you have to be so good. you're compositing is so good. you're good, i want you're skillz. yes, with a z. definitely easy on the eyes, and the colors, and smoke, and words in teh background, meld together to make a solid image. what's that weird thing below. the bottom left corner.

    As a fellow smoker, i'll add this as one of my favourites =)
    Well, as for the wallpaper, simplicity is my drug and I define this wallpaper as a pretty large dose. It's pretty stylish and original and i also love that dark feel to it.

    Well done, keep it up.

    *smoking IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH*

    All these smoking wallies should come with an addendum or something ^.~

    *puts on desktop and admires*

    It's really grown on me although your original w.a.r. wallie will always be my favorite... but I love how this one is darker and moody in a thoughtful. I love the text that you incorporated >__< Whatever you submit for the w.a.r. will be fine <33 I've already told you what I thought too many times ^.~

    to me, nana walls should b stylish (coz that's what nana is all about---life and style). and i think u did a good job, though this wall is slightly too dark.
    maybe ppl should read the manga to get a grip on this nana's personality+life.
    i think that will really help to portray what this character is like through walls.
    well, that's just a suggestion.
    great job.

    mhmm I kinda don't like the letters on the bg.. >.< but like I said before, great job on the vector.. XD like the dark colours.. XD

    That sux bullocks man, they should try to stretch the rules abit farther... >_> bt anyway nice to see that you havent given up, nice vectors and movement of text in the wall.. Like it!

    Like you said emotional and mental problems cant go away, its like one of those philosophies i try to understand "There is no true happiness" and we find ways to search for the meaning of life through the hardships, obstacles and glories of our existance.
    I guess we have to answer our own questions... >_>
