Loveless
Like a seed that never sprouted,
Heartless
like a wounded crow in winter,
but lustful to have you still in my arms
thinking of you is the only thing keeping me sane
for my hateful sorrow has awakened
and now i am dead already....
This you may say is one of my personal walls ived spent 2 days making all together, ive had strong feelings for a person i loved before and now sometimes i regret leaving that person but fate had something to do with it so i had to suck it up and taste the bullet. I dont know if i am a changed person or will be the same...im starting to have mood swings, pieces of myself i dont want and never imagined have surfaced slowly to make me have this acute shcizophrenia paranoia disorder which only happens occasionally i assure you. But for some reason i have sought ways of repressing it by being a music indulgence person and starting to draw again!! maybe i should take theraphy or see a damn shrink but its not that serious the other person i talk too is my depressed side so i dont need to worry, helps me answer the questions i need to know and have to face so i have to take the road again of a journeyman....so wish me luck!
This scan was from Here by Kino and yeah this is somewhat a manga i think and had a hard time making the grunge textured layers, overlayed, gaussian, and duplicate layers. I used one of the old brushes ive stored but havent opened for a long time and yeah mostly its from Vbrushes and nocturna. So its 110 layers and 13 hours of work.
This is dedicated for those people who have had love for the first time and still have the memories of the breakup but still walk the path of life with the wings of crows and a shadowed cloak to be his cover...but with a hateful sorrow which is eating ones heart inside out slowly.
*Hope you likey!* -___-;
Ill show this in Imanimetions later but now i have to go take a bath!

I love the grunge of this wallpaper. it's so dark, but it has an almost delicate, antique look ot it, like an old cracked painted or soemthing. The characters blend so well. I think this is the best wall I've seen by you. ^_^ Definetly a fave.

Everything about this project says marvelous, ingenious. The way that the background is comprised of 'nostradamus' circles and bits of stolen text represent very well the confusion and hopelessness felt by such a heartbreaking mood as you describe. The text has been filtered and distorted to form an emotion all on it's own, supporting the image, which is tactfully used to tie all of it in together. The scan, which has obviously been painstakingly leveled to match everything else in the background, provides a focal point from the rest of confusion, like a good memory.
Oh, and good luck man. From what I can see, you've found a good outlet, and MT has found an excellent new favorite.

Wow kewlies!
I like this anime :D Well...I've only read 3-4 volumes. I think.
It's good though!but sad.
I haven't experianced first love break up. It's probably because I haven't found the one I really love yet (excluding my family and friends!!)
But the day may come soon...Awesome wall!

Strong emotions are the driving force for most artists. In this case, your feelings translate very well into this wall. The image along with the multiple layers of transparency all give the feeling of confusion yet show that you have something you are trying to focus on. Amidst all the noise is something clear yet because of so many other factors it may become hard to determine what that is. The dark earthy colors accentuate the pastel feel and texture of main image. The look on their faces goes well with the mood of the whole wall.
Hitsuji no Uta is one of my favorite mangas/ anime (like em both) because the story is simple yet the feelings behind the story are complex. The style is also appealling to me. I think the wall is excellent as a wallpaper and as an instrument for your expression. Great job!! (bows) -_-

Such lovely grungy-ness. Like many other wallpapers you have created, this wallpaper blends all the elements into one complete piece. I have no idea what the series is about but seeing this wallpaper makes me want to check it out.
