Artist Comment

A remake of On Wings of Hope which I feel is the best wallpaper I've made. Even so, there are lots of issues with it that keep glaring at me every time I look at it. For example, the vector isn't properly cut out around Alphonse's cloth, his eyes are too dark, and the Flamel cross is distorted. The color on the character was too blue (I overcompensated the hue/saturation settings.) The featheres were too dark. The bird reflection should have matched the bird shape overhead. The characters are too large and overdominate the wallpaper. The water was too flat. I basically addressed all those problems in this release. (I think I scared Shadow_dude when I was ripping apart my own wallpaper in IRC last night. I am probably my own worst critic, which is why harsh critiques don't generally faze me - I've done worst to myself.)
First, I added in a rocky texture for the two to be standing on; otherwise they're just floating in air. The rocks came from Image*After which is a stock photo resource that w00tazn showed me (thanks muchly!) because StockExchange is down. I redid the clouds from new stocks and redid the water coloration. Reworked the birds, moved them around and have them properly reflected. Feathers have been brightened. More ripples in the water, although I couldn't distort the water surface too much, because then it just looks abstract instead of reflecting. The characters are smaller now, to give a better sense of isolation.
Since I pretty much started from scratch for this wallpaper, even reworking parts of the trace, I decided to give it a new name, which I think more properly reflects the tone of the image: Grant Me Peace of Mind. White birds - doves - have traditionally represented peace, and the two are reaching out to them - but will they ever be able to grasp peace, or will its feathers continue to slip out of their fingers?
Co-release with Biri's Ed wallpaper because we're gonna flood you with FMA! Plus, it's all part of our Bishounen invasion! XD

    Whoa! I still like both of them. Both of them are equally alright. Though this is cool how you were trying to improve it. It's so going to go in my favs like the other wallpaper you made. ^-^
