      Latest Walls--Alaurast78 wish and DOA

      Hello all!! *waves*

      I haven't had much time with my reading up on dreaming with me going back to school/work and with finishing up my vacation. But I was able to get done with a few more walls. And I have decided to join the art team

      Everything in the walls (besides the scans) was created in photoshop. So again, Enjoy!!

      I have found this scan of Kasumi of Dead or Alive and I made this for a friend of mine who lives in the Netherlands. I think he will like it ^_~

      And I hope you like this one Alaurast ^^;;
      Here is your wallie!!

      It took three days of going through pages of scans to find something close to your wish. I am not 'happy' with the scan. I had a different vision. But it has some seductive and mysterious feel to it. I had to give her wings though (which is about 70 layers!) And I tried to make a background that match to that of an angel but yet had a 'bubblegum' feel

      Alaurast--This is what is submitted. You can definitely PM me for your own style that is if you want any special text added on or your name or saying of yours. Anything to make it more personalized since this is a wall dedicated to you
      I hope you like it *bites lower lip*

      If I took a guess from looking at the wings I would say because of the texture and wavy/curvy dream-like quality it holds, Its like it shouts out from beyond the screen....

      These are two amazing pictures, your a very talented artist Dew Dust, you shouldn’t let your 'gift' go unnoticed, you should send some of your art to people you admire or major in Graphic Design, you might get a job doing something you enjoy....

      I really love your work, you can tell you spend a lot of time and effort when you work on an image, like its a labor of love.

      The first image is excellent, I love that purple haze touch that meets the ocean and the edge of sky - its magnificent. I feel the women’s expression is innocent yet alluring (in a insecure kind of way).

      The details of the women’s feature are glorious, you have texture that echoes in reality, its like the true colour of skin and really interesting shapes etc

      Ok so i'm confused, I thought she said she scans in the images and then just does the backgrounds and stuff in photoshop?

      Mystical Journey is correct

      If you look at the wing, there is a smaller more fuzzier feather. I had to Control Arrow key and Free Transform each little feather into their right positions starting from bottom to top and layering them to fall like feathers do on a real wing. Of course when I was done, I linked the layers and then Linked Merge them to lessen the amount of layers since the rest of the background gets its layers too. There are also other effects with the wings--smudging, Gaussian blur, Motion blur, regular blur, drop shadow, outer glow, blending modes, etc.

      The girl is the scan. The wings was my creation. Also the rest of the background. I think you are getting confused in thinking the wings were part of her. If you did think that *blushes galore* then I achieved the effect well

      Thanks guys for your support!! And please enjoy them!

      No I knew that you created the wings yourself...I was just unsure as to whether or not you created the actual characters. So you take someone else's art, and add backgrounds and change it around a bit is that all? I mean don't get me wrong your walls are beautiful I'm just trying to get this straight.

      Yes, quite the amount of detail on the wings. I congratulate you on a picture well made.

      Thank you DuckMan_Drake!!

      Yes. We use the original artwork from a manga, for example, and then develop the rest of the background. The background can be symbolic, scenic, grunge style, etc.

      Here is the site's main link and as you see when you enter, all the other tons of others wallpapers which again follow the same suit--use a scan from a manga and develop a world for it using any program on your computer. There is even a 'scan' section for us to pick scans from ^_^

      There are sections there where you can create your own character and post it up. So if you are interested in sharing your work and drawings or sketches if you're not into the wallpaper biz then you can definitely go to the right section for you and have fun! I am sure they will love your work, Aquanina Check it out!
