'Mabinogi' is a korean game. On monday (28th of Feb.) I was visiting the official Mabinogi website and watched some videos on it. I felt a bit well ... unhappy because it looks awesome and fun even though I don't understand the korean language at any means ^^' So apparently I can't play this game. I know that the scan which I used for my wallpaper has been used many times before.. but I think that it doesn't matter, really.
I love this scan so much because her wings look simply amazing !

Imho all of the atmosphere in this wallpaper art has a feeling that corresponds with sorrow.
It's her pose, she reminds me of myself in many other times.

We all have wings,
only some of us don't know why.
I have not only recognized my wings but ...
... but what.
Why can't I fly high every day ?

This description might not be a very good one because I haven't had a 'short story' to tell about it - make up your own story for it.

I hope you'll enjoy this wallpaper ^.^ (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 hey Asahi chan :>

    My wallpaper-creation-o-matic x)
    No seriously, a good and warm hello from me again.
    Looks like you have managed to create a new and indeed nice looking wallpaper o.o

    Sweet, how there are many things to look at again so uuuuh, aii where should I start - let's see..
    I always find it very relaxing to look at your creations since they not only cover a unique
    atmosphere of their own, each one convinces me to write a well-thought comment for it xD

    Heart - the word that you kept in mind most of the time working on this wallpaper I guess,
    since there seems to be much feeling about what is kept inside of this art of yours.
    The Angel obviously takes the viewers attraction at first sight.
    With her eyes closed and the gloomy / sadd'ish look on her face the idea of sorrow manages to
    transport well through what the viewer thinks at first is only a simple wallpaper.


    I like how you set the contrast and layer options for this, the extraction also looks good to me.
    Since even there are some parts which others wouldn't have extracted- so, good work really :)
    The background, compared to your last recent wallpaper, looks considerably mellow - which doesn't mean
    that it's bad or anything alike.
    My thoughts of it are, that it really fits well into the main image of the angel standing on a
    mountain-cliff or somewhere near the sea.
    The planet and the skyline look pretty, nothing too spectacular - but that isn't needed for making
    a good wallpaper, in fact - it fits better than any of these
    'superhigheffectoverwhelmingyoudontknowheretolookat' -like backgrounds.
    It is important for me that the background does not dominate the main character too much - otherwise
    the whole thihng could look a bit 'too-much'.

    Love is a thing that must be part of her mind, since you've called it "Angelic Sorrow" and as we all know
    whoever loves someone else has a feeling of sorrow always with him - for the beloved one at least.
    And, yeah, once again I think you've succeeded once more in creating a wallpaper that deserves
    at least one favorite for the idea behind it ^.^

    You hopefully never stop to walk along the path of 'artists who achieve more with every step they take'.
    Since I know - you have a huge influence on the life of many people that you meet here on mt - and
    on me as well.
    Thank you for that and keep on with your good work =)

    , Vincent

    Hey Asahi-chan!

    New work? Yay! I read your description before it totally loaded, so I thought I would try and make my own story from what I saw in the full view before writing anything here ^_^ lets hope this goes okay!

    The scan - although you said it had been used many times before, I have never seen it, and I must say the extraction is very nice. I don't see any parts around the girl or her wings where even the outline has been disturbed from extraction, so very well done!

    Admittedly, I would suggest like you for everyone to full the fullsized version, as the thumbnail doesn't seem to show off the detail that the big one does.

    I can sense that she feels quite - alone, trapped, maybe she has one little strand of hope left with someone she is waiting to be saved by - but this feeling I get isn't the same as it would be from the background, as it seems that she may be trapped in a huge wall-less cell, maybe she could walk forever into the blue sun and never find a way out...
    I have never seen the Mabinogi videos or the site so lets hope I'm hitting something here ^_- heh.

    i love the big blue planet behind her - as I said above it could be a destination, but I thought it could also be perhaps her home, somewhere she wanted to return to, maybe someone she loved lives on this ever vast planet.

    I love the sea thats behind her - the different uses of blue really help to give it a different 'reflective' look to the light of the planet, to different depths...its better than it all being one colour.

    I would suggest that you could play a little more with this character, this wallpaper is lovely, but I think it would also be nice to see her in the context of really being trapped - like in a proper room, or cell, maybe there would be different emotions from it. Eh, it's worth it if you have the time, because the scan is so pretty.

    Anyway, thank you for submitting it ^_^

    ah i've always liked that scan, and your wall does good justice to it. awesome bg, the effects are nicely done.

  5. StarCentury Mar 05, 2005

    Her wings are so amazing, and the expression of the character feels so lonely! :) I like how you captured the mood of the girl seamlessly with the BG! The bright shine around the moon as you said really give a unique atmosphere and the ocean on the bottom is so pleasant, I could watch it for eons! ^_^' Overall, your wallpaper is a nice example of simple designs, yet elegant and beautiful! [+ 2 favs]

    It looks really great, I love the over-all feel that this seems to ive off. The way you used the scan is really great, you can feel all the emotions that this girl is feeling. Nice background too, the horizon was done well, and I love the sky. With a unsuspecting moon, another great wallpaper from you. We all have wings eh? Well, how many of us can use them ^_~. Great concept here, the despair that this girl feels is very evident. Looks really good, not a guy wallpaper, but all the same, simply breath-taking. Great job!!

  7. Felesya Mar 05, 2005

    What I really like is the water ^-^. You made it look really clear and clean so it builds a perfect background for the nice angle in the front :D. Also the moon, shining so bright, is very well done and gives the whole Wallpaper a wonderful atmosphere. Too bad, the angle has dark wings, because they do not fit in as good as white ones would. But maybe this contrast was in your mind while making this ^^

  8. Sorceres00 Mar 06, 2005

    Whaaaa a beautiful wall :o !!

  13. anji Mar 06, 2005

    A really really beautiful scan indeed.
    Doesn't matter if it was wall often.
    The composition bring out the beauty of this scan well.
    I like the water too... the color.
    And the title with the sign behind, it's look great.
    The light effect are good too, but the moon doesn't look to blend perflectly with the environnement. Don't know how to describe that, it's just an impression.
    Anyway + fav it's a beautiful wall.

  14. Fantasia Mar 06, 2005

    the light circle effect you did is soooooooooooooo beautiful0_0
    really love the details,very smooth
    and the bg makes the beautiful scan very clear&fresh
    very nice effect!!

  15. euna Retired Moderator Mar 06, 2005

    Being a Korean, I should be ashamed of myself to not know the game XD XD XD
    Anywayz. very peaceful and calm wallie sis ^___^
    Looks very pretty...especially the ocean... (do I hear waves?? >___<)
    Lovely radial blur and the colours are so nice~~~
    I always thought that scan was rather odd coz she had black wings instead of white...

    Anywayz, beautidful work. *fav*

    layers... i can tell you how many? ...mmm ...for my little experience it's about 4 folders!!!
    1-for the effect of the ocean, 2-for the planet design, 3-for the starfield and 4-for the blur effect... plus the layers of the text and the sign design!!! :nya:

    well, my comment... mmm... mmm... when you work with a ocean and a starfield you have to put a nice horizon, because if you don't do that it feels so plain!!! [the horizon makes the deep of the perspective in this type of wall's, and you can add some misty fog for enchance the scenery too! ^^], second... you can add an outer glow to the planet/sphere for more presence in the wall, and you can quit the error of the contour of the planet/sphere. i like how do you do with the starfield, the ocean, and with the character [specially the character]!!! ^_^

  19. Adrima Mar 06, 2005

    I adore the moon in the backround ^^
    and also this quiete and lovely scene you created with the scan
    I also love the sign which you add behind the font :D
