Artist Comment
Angels, they fell first but I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung
The variation on the theme for the W.A.R. I selected was 'tragic' - in this case, the total retreat into self that occurs after a loss. The character is fading into themself, becoming still and more like a painting in oils than a human being. Only when they reach heaven will their masterpiece be sung. It is, truly, the end of all hope.

No, I'm not dead. Sorry.

And thus the heavens have closed their gates
to the fallen who awalk teh earth once more
the ravens be their guide....One of the more expressionistic among the W.A.R. contest entries and all together the character it just illuminates to an extent, lobe the way it melts so well to the pice. Beautifully done as always Biri! :P

I like the wallpaper, even though there are a tad too many textures, I guess that adds to the art of the scan. Yoshitoshi Amano art is overrated nowadays, with really bad wallpapers popping up everywhere ... but you proved me wrong that there can't be any good walls with such complicated art.
Good job Biri.

Hello... I saw the thumbnail on Kuroimisa's website... and I wondered... "Doesn't this look like Amano?" And yes... really... :) I love Yoshitaka Amano's art... I also tried making wallpapers using his paintings... I think it is very difficult to do... so I am always happy when there are people who are making really good wallpapers of Amano's art.
Usually I don't really like texts on wallpapers... but here I do like it... it's very decent... and fits to the rest of image...Hmm... and I don't agree with bromithia... Yoshitaka Amano is not overrated... he has a very unique style. I don't see so many Amano wallpapers "popping up everywhere"... The extraction alone is really difficult... and most people prefer the "normal" Anime style with cute girls... Well sorry, I won't start a discussion here, after all it is your gallery...
So all I want to say is... thanks for this beautiful wallpaper... ^-^

Wonderful! You captured a lot of depth by making the texture fade into the scan, focusing the eye. Adding the light around the character also help to have a focus, I think those two things keep this very texture heavy wall easy on the eye :D Big fav!

Yoshitaka Amano's art is definitely not one of the easiest to wall, but you have managed to be victorious here. I really like the way you accentuated the sad face of the character and I find the title well-matched. Somehow grunge is not my favourite style of walling, but here it definitely adds to the depth of the work.

Wow, those Amano artworks are getting really popular nowadays! ^_^' So far, your work is the best I've seen so far, Biri! It's almost like Amano himself drew this on some stone wall! o_0 I really think U outdid yourself with this piece, Biri! Definitely earns my fav for the day! XD

Well, it looks as though I'm going to have to put you on my watchlist now... Finally broken into the Amano walling scene, hm? Well, it's a good time for it, what with Arete coming up.
This is an excellently done work, though very simple for an Amano piece. I'll have to comment on it properly tomorrow (or very soon thereafter), when I'm not dead tired.

Very nice work, I've added to my favorites. It's hard to explain the feeling I get, but very few works effect me in such a way. Thank-you for posting, I guess I will need to go through the rest of your gallery when I get the chance and see what I have missed since I've been away.

Love the scan, and love the bg you made to go with it, especially the color and the effect... I,m not really familiar with Yoshitaka Amano's art, but every piece i've seen so far we're awesome, i should probably go check the gallery someday ^_^' i love how only the face of the character is really accentuated by being so pale... as for the lyrics, i like them, but i find they would have been better placed at the top right of the wall, which looks a little empty... oh well, still a very great looking wall, awesome!
