    Wow! Thats Crazy!! (In a good way) I like it. Awesome job! Thanks for sharing. -Kiyomi1819- *_* XD :pacman:

    heh, yeah i got the chills and it was even before the whole thing loaded. when i saw the word alone on the floor and accidently scroll down too fast you can get 'em chills. the colors worked out really good, i love that. nice work :nya:

    Wow DC, you have outdone yourself. The image is not only dark but it has this mild shock factor. I think its the fact that you cant see her eyes and you feel like she might just be a corpse! :O You succeeded!

    Holy crap! That's so crazy! Very deep and I did get the shivers OX Love the darkness of it all and the mood is powerfully-awesome (oops, there I go again, making words up XD). Excellent job!

    hey you cut off like 30% of my scan man. jk

    great idea shifting the focal point from the foreground to the background- since the viewer is left to wonder what lurks in the shadows there and i suspect it is not looking good for our lady...

    did i ever mention purple and black are my 2 favourite colours?
    love the darkening - this looks better than the original scan - imo. ^^

    + favs

    Yes, I know this scan... Unfortunately I don't know Gilgamesh but when I saw the original scan for the first time I tried to find out more about it. Sooner or later I would have tried to make a wallpaper out of it... but now you were first and ... yes I also think that it looks better than the original scan.
    It's definitely different from what I once imagined when I downloaded the scan as a possibility for a wallpaper...
    I also like how you added the letters into the image...
    And yes... it's a fav.

    OMG...that is so freaky!
    and her eyes...she looks like she's dead already.
    the dark coloring and atmosphere are so perfect!
    *shudders*

    Wow, that's really beautiful in some way ^^ And somewhat creepy...
    But the atmosphere and everything looks so dark and fits perfectly. I love it ^^
    Thanks for sharing ^^

    I feel the sadness that you have created in this. The atmosphere is very lonely indeed, and I would say your endeavor has been successful. I am not sure if I should congratulate you on this or not though, hmmm ;-). Perhaps I will only thank for you this piece which fills me with emotion.

    This is good, dude, very good. It's pretty, sort of haunting, detailed, etc. I don't like her mouth... it ruins it for me, it's that horrid... I dunno, it's just too darkly outlined I guess, it was fine in DREAM's scan... but other than that, this really has a great atmosphere to it.

    lol and i thought gilgamesh itself was freaky, this wall is overly freaky XD
    its kinda got this diseased look about it, which helps with the atmosphere.

    dark and damp looking.
    nice work ^^

  12. ayaki Oct 19, 2005

    yes i do get the chills X_x
    the way u've rendered the scan really did change the whole mood of the original scan...now it looks scary..haha and yea i agree with kai81220, freak-ish indeed.
    awesome job!~ :D

    i love the contrast of light and dark. the sense of loneliness is well executed from the gesture. although it's a flat picture, the texture really gives it more depth and personality. the gate/ post on the bottom right also gives it more dimension. cool wall~~~

    *Shivers* >___<
    i like it, kinda gives a ominous and death feeling, kinda like me when i was in Grade 10 but in my own mind. ANyway lovely use of space and colors. Great job! :P

  15. Revan Retired Moderator Oct 20, 2005

    What can I say? I just always seem to get really atracted to darker emotions and this walls portraits so many obscure feelings that I find very appealing... and as I downloaded it I just fell in love, thanks for this awesome piece!!!

    Hey, very nice wallie . . . i like the dark atmosphere yea i really like it. :D
    Great work. XD XD XD

  17. hongrboi Oct 21, 2005

    Although I don't like this style of wall, I must say that this is really well done. The hint of grunge is great and the colours match perfectly.

  18. markjo Oct 23, 2005

    Seeing the base scan gave me chills, but your vision of the art is even more disturbing. I meant that as a compliment, you managed to highlight the emotions that were overwhelming to begin with.
    The sole thing I could complain about is the font (I don't think the style fits here very well) and placing of the title.

  19. RurouniXKenshin Oct 23, 2005

    Wow!!!! I dont know how you did it but I do want to know too. I've seen the scan and it isn't as dark as your wallpaper. Your wallpaper looks more "alive". Keep up the good work. Mind if you can send me a tutorial on how you did the 'dark' covering this girl?

  20. chikashi Oct 25, 2005

    ooooh... this wallpaper... is... well... bloody... but it is cool... sometimes i am a loner too anywayz...

  21. teepoo Oct 25, 2005

    holy crap o_O the change from scan to wally is so amazing @__@ i love the dark atmosphere you created and the textures u created in the walls when i look at the face i almost see that sadness of being alone @__@ i can go on for hours writing but i'll just sum it all up and say its one of the best thigns i've seen *drools*

  22. RhiyaLynn Oct 25, 2005

    Woah *shivers cover her body* Solitude and despair is what I feel from this wall! I really like it, the constrats are great, the colors and effects fit so well! Awesome work and good atmosphere you created! Thank you for sharing! :D

  23. Tiferet Oct 25, 2005

    hmm. very interesting...it reminds me of an eerie dream i had long ago(don't ask), but me like ^^

  24. DepressedYoukai Oct 25, 2005
