Artist Comment
Whoa... thank god I ran in to Muz on IRC, because I had no idea this was Tsukihime. Anyway, I started this wall about 3 months ago, didn't like where it was heading and stopped working on it. Now I decided to give it another shot. Booyah as they say. The way that her skirt blends off into a strange sort of flame made me want to have her creating a flame that moved off to the other side of the screen, then I realised that's what made me come to a deat end before. Now, I decided to have her ward off the flames.
Thanks to Muz, Korg and Jackal who gave me some advice on the wall! It wouldn't be as good if it weren't for you guys! Anyway, it's time for me to pass out!
The blurred grass in the foreground is for perspective (better that then pixelation anyway). I slightly blured the bg grass too, and the distant tree to give the perspective effect more.. affect (sometimes in order to create something that looks like it obeys the rules, you have to break them). Also, it's been pointed that the grass infront of Ren doesn't suit the image, well, it's catching fire so of course it'll look off at first. Anyway, the bed calls now... that's all the complaints I've gotten so far too... enjoy.
Edit
Keltosh said that the bottom right hand corner was looking a little empty without the flames, so I added abit in there.
I also figured giving the foreground grass some shadow too, to blend it in with the character more. I tried doing the
same with the bg grass, but it wasn't working out all too well.
Another Edit
Okay, I was told that the foreground grass was too green to be on fire. I had to agree, so now it's burnt (bbq,
yay!). As for the soft flame.... let's just say that it looks soft because it's so close to the camera, as
there's nothing I can do about it. Also, I realised there was a bit of green in the magic swirl, so I changed
it's layer style to screen. Makes it look beter I think. And to top it all off, I fixed up an extraction problem I
came across.
Possibly the final Edit
After the scan fix I did on Mist Wrd, I figured out how to fix that rather annoying criss-cros pattern that was faintly
imbetted into Ren's dress. I also figured I'd fix up any colour speckles while I was at it. Also, the rather
harsh and suddenshadow drop on her outstreched arm has been fixed... I think that's about everthing now. XD

really nice concept
I really like how the flame looks ^_^
well as far as perspective goes, looks kinda right enough.
the grass however at the foreground, its kinda already engulfed in fire, but its still green. kinda weird. ^_^"
nice work overall though~ ^_^ -

Wow --- all I can say is 3 Months? It was well worth the wait! The blurring of the grass was an excellent idea --- keep the focus on the flames instead. And the girl indeed looks like she is untouched by the fire, even though it is approaching her.... :D

Excellent set of colours... looks like the fire is ready to consume her. I like the burning sky, or at least that's what it looks like to me. Good job on that. Well done Katz. ^^

I think the tree in the background on the right seem to be too small compared to Ren. Also the 'special effect' for Ren's left hand ( as if to make her seem responsible for the firestorm in the area ) is awkward in my humble opinion. Her posture doesn't seem to be one who is in the midst of performing such powers. Plus using a circle but not having the center at her hand makes it seem weird. A distorted ellipse with its edges eroded away might have been better.

At last a wallpaper for the under level 10 member, thank u. The fire quite real, the girl's eyes look a little scary, cold and burn with anger, but she do look pretty. Her coat also look quite nice.
