I started this one for about 3 times, finally finished it this time - here it is, my first grunge-like wallpaper!About 30 hours and many many layers later the final result was ready to be posted here :)

'Nightmare' is a special gift for my boyfriend Vincent. I hope that he'll enjoy it and : Don't be afraid of this darker themed topic! :)

Now, I'll move over to the main topic of this wallpaper:
The half naked girl ,which is being surrounded by darkness in a nightmarish world, is standing in front of a lake - having some landscape on the left. I made use of this scan cause the character ,in my opinion, is very suitable for the topic : Nightmare. No, I did NOT take this one just because she's a half-naked girl showing her back, I simply did it because shes handicapped in a certain way : She's chained to her sword but painfully, she can't make any use of it and that's where the nightmare, for her, begins - trapped in this world .. not knowing what is there to come and wait for her ...

I hope you'll enjoy this grungy wallpaper of mine ^.^ (please use the fullview).

Feel free to give comments and some feedback (which is appreciated , if it is written in a good way of manner :D).

Greetings to everyone on MT
and to my friends(list) ^.^

    Hey Asahi :>

    First I'll need to find a way of how to put this ...
    But before that I've got a comment on your work in general - what is it that drives you to create one wallpaper after another for which the most are of brilliant quality in terms of context and looks D: ?
    That's a question I had in mind for quite a long time, an answer to that would kinda be nice ^^

    Okay, well I think that the words which were needed of how to put this and or more, well, likely these thoughts into words so here we go.
    While the order of commenting this time changes from one into another part, I hope you'll still get what I'm tryin' to say (please do o.o!)

    The scan / artwork that has been used for this one looks good - for how it was drawn and edited (I guess you did some editing on her ^^). The more I look at her the more I get to be reminded of someone special (or to put it straight : that back looks familiar <.< ), anyway the editing and extraction both are impressively done to me ; thumbs up!

    The background ,forcing me to look at it, not because of its strange and ,for your style, unfamilar design - more of how the colors look relaxing (seriously) to the eye- nothing agressive or too bright / less contrasted there to be found.
    Using my imagination I can guess pretty much of what lies behind the visual blur that is put into the viewers eyes through the use of crumpled paperlike colorbarriers - sad on the other side, later on I'll explain why I think that this is a sad point as well, so far still even more appealing to me.
    The one looking at it , with attention of course, gets the sad and certain feeling of something being hidden underneath this barrier of sight we get - something which is definitely NOT friendly for either the girl or anyone else in that "world".

    As far as it goes for the typo(textual/lyrical) part, it's being the cause of the viewers' thoughts gettin' drawn into another dimension ~ related to the previously commented elements it makes a difference whether you read those two lines of text or not ; whichever you choose - it alters ones view and or liking of this wallpaper.
    For myself - it's given me a strength to find the way out of the everydays' stressing nightmare of allday-life ;) Taking a break from everything, just trying to escape into a more relaxing world of mine.

    Back to what I mentioned earlier about the grunge elements of the background :
    They are as far as I can think, depending on how much you (the viewer) want to get into this and let yourself be one with the elements of this wp, the most advanced statement of understatement-poetry that I've seen here lately.
    Capturing the girl into a world of crumpled thoughts, dreams and distracted views and alterations of her known reality - even though if she would want to fight her way out of it /or find it : she seems to be unable to do so.
    Chained to her sword means that shes defenseless to whatever comes right up to face her ,whether that might be evil or good - both things can be dangerous depending on the situation and state-of-mind she is in.
    Her thoughts at this point might be desperate since shes facing a lake which she might not be able to pass through since her hands are chained...


    Asahi, really, thank you for dedicating/having created this wallpaper for me.
    Not that it only means a lot to me, it's not the fact im commenting this one at such an extent for only that reason, I definitely like it - I really do.

    Keep up with your work dear, *hugs*

    Whoa! I have been missing out on a lot of extremely cool wallpapers like yours Asahi-sama! :) I love the dark theme . Well, you'll always get the compliment where I tell you how talented you are. Yet another impressive job. Lucky Vincent! I am always looking forward to more of your awesome wallpapers. :)

  3. Cldmani Feb 24, 2005

    from judging ur prevouis works, u can do alot better, but in this wallpaper, u seem to hold ur skill back for some reason......

    1) don't like how the character is blended
    2) yet the background doesn't suit me, its original
    3) maybe the font could be better

    yet this is my opinion, so don't yell at me saying im wrong, But overall, its a good wallpaper, but could've done way better

  4. Ninja Feb 24, 2005

    A nice evil looking wallpaper. Its also of one of my favorite manga series, Tenjou Tenge. Good job on the wallpaper Asahi.

  5. DarkCrimson Feb 24, 2005

    Oh wow :) Its totaly different ,when I look at your other Pictures......The Colors you used fits in very well.And I can see you put a lot of Effort in the Background.It looks really great.Also the chained Girl well its a Nightmare so she is looking away,perhaps she dont wanna see whats lurking for her in the Shadows. ^_^'i like this Grunge Style and its a really good Wallpaper in my Eyes.So I add it to my Favourites.Well done Asahi my dear Friend and thanks for sharing with all of us. :)

  6. DarkVirus Feb 25, 2005

    ...that is really scary...
    particularly the snake rolled around the stick the stick is laying her butt on XO

    anyway..nice wall asahi

  7. DayBreak Feb 25, 2005

    Are you serious? 30 hours? O_O
    It doesnt seem you put too much work on it...but at some parts you did XD
    lets....i'll be really critic on this sense this is your very first grunge wallpaper.
    The scan, you should lower down the Sat/Hue, Sense the brightness is, really dull
    to the background.
    The background isnt bad, but you Really overused the brushes.
    more like you only used 4-8 brushes O_O
    The top left, the colors doesnt really match the ones on the right bottom and middle.
    But, i can tell what you wanted to do.
    Well anywayz.
    Not Bad ^^

  8. Asahi Feb 25, 2005

    @shadowdude:

    30 hours its because i tried it 3 times = 3 versions but i delated 2 of them.

    i wanted to create a grunge wallpaper yet develop my own style for it.
    And what you described about the character or more the advice you gave me is exactly what I dislike in other grungewalls - so with this I'll go into my own direction of creating grunge-wallpapers ^.^

  9. StarCentury Feb 25, 2005

    o_0 Asahi's first grunge wallie, ne? XD This is a new direction! :) Anyhoo, I like the design you chose for the scan, so creepy and emotional! Although I may be wrong, but imo it feels less grungy! At least it matches the scan well and overall it's rich in atmosphere! Very well done, for a first attempt at a grunge wall, Asahi! ;)

  10. anji Feb 25, 2005

    That's interresting and original for sure.
    It's really cool that you can explain the concept and all for a grunge wall.
    Well I don't think the color of the background and the scan fits really well together.
    Maybe the scan is a bit too white.
    I like the effect in the background, but the texture is a bit the same overall.
    I think it would be great if it has more depth, if you know what I mean.
    Also, I think the font is great and it fits here.
    A great wall overall, I see a lot of work in it. :)

  11. frozenwilderness Feb 25, 2005

    mm.. interesting first attempt at grunge XD
    the scan looks nice but I think there is a bit too much contrast between the character and the bg; her head is almost invisible on the background
    still, the colors in the background aren't bad.. pretty good for a first try ^^

  12. calisqo Feb 25, 2005

    nice bg and font ^^.
    Looks really awesome.

    however I feel the scan is bit too white to blend in witht he great bg.
    I personally like the color variation in the bg.
    It think they're cool ^^>

    Awesome work .

  13. Sugasuga Feb 25, 2005

    woot, a grunge wallie from Asahi ^^ hmmm...i like the feeling i sense from this wallie. the background and the fact that you cant see the girl's face gives me this unknown and creepy feeling, like wat is her expression--pain? perhaps. but i dun like the brightness of the character ^^' other than that, good work, Asahi ^^

  14. Xion3 Feb 25, 2005

    Wow. You are very dedicated Asahi. I like that. Thirty hours on just one wallpaper shows a lot of determination and dedication. The end result is very good. The grunge work is really 'grungy' and dark. It suits the nightmare and dark theme very well. Also, you chose a suitable image to go with the background. A job well done once again, Asahi. :)

  15. chingetscook Feb 25, 2005

    Grunge! There is a lot of contrast between the background and the scan, but I like it, really sets the scan apart from the rest of the wall. I like how you did the "Nightmare" though, overall a great theme. Keep it up!

  16. artgeek12 Feb 25, 2005

    I like this scan from Tenjo Tenge. It is very intersting by itself. I think you explaination of the scan makes it even more interesting. The BG is nice. The many layers adds to the depth of the texture. Even the color is nice and brooding. The font isn't a personal favorite but I think you could have made it work a little better than just a flat white color. Maybe try roughing up the edges a bit., maybe slightly larger. Although the scan is a good one the treatment seems slightly off. I think the extreme contrast doesn't work well with the BG you created. The contrast is so high that the detail from the shirt is completely gone and looks like a whited out figure. The extreme white looks nice for the skin but maybe try something else with the shirt so that the glowing white skin plays off of it. I think it's good for a start but needs a little more work to be on par with what I know to be your true skill.

  17. acid-awakening Feb 25, 2005

    great BG but the scan is wierd
    its too blank and too white
    anywayz,... other than that its great :D ^^

  18. dead Feb 25, 2005

  19. euna Retired Moderator Feb 25, 2005

    whoa.. awesome first grunge...
    sis asahi's good at everything too :P
    hey, the colour and the theme go well together...
    very nice...
    can't say a lot but it's unique and looking very good.
    Nice work sis!

  20. UndyingShadow Feb 25, 2005

    a very different type of wall from you Asahi. I like the brush work...but its just a large array of colors that it looks kind of sloppy, and it contrasts largely to the scan. but still, i like the wall!

  21. Fantasia Feb 25, 2005

    this feeling is soooo great!!
    the nightmare,the scan style&the bg effect suit the theme very much
    love the girl image very much >o< especially the lines
    and the text you put makes the wall more fantastic,great work!!

  22. Seran Feb 25, 2005

    It reminds me of the game Silent Hill. That was kind of a scary thriller game....but it was very exciting one. Fine Story! ^-^

  23. meteorcloud Feb 25, 2005

    nice abstract wall asahi =D
    some very nice idea here =), the story makes much more clear ^_^~!
    i like your style...making a sceneric wall with abstract art =D
    you thought about everything you did and that's nice ^^
    great job =)
    keep the works ^_^

  24. Kyuzo1 Feb 25, 2005

    Wow. A new great wallpaper. There are many effects, But they are very decent, so the bg doesn't look overloaded (sorry for my bad english -_-'''''')
    i also love the nice colors. They fits really good with the chara.

    Dat teil war bestimmt ne heidenarbeit.
    Auch dafuer bekommst n fav^^
