Really sorry to keep you waiting so long, this past week has been anightmare with university and stuff. I'll have plenty of free time on the train tomorrow though so I'll definitely be able to make some progress then. Right now I've got the images that I'll be using, I'm sort of in the middle of planning out in rough exactly how it's all going to be laid out when I start it in GIMP tomorrow evening (getting the train home for the weekend, you see...).
Hey. You got the images, sweet.
Now that the Valve piece is finished I can devote my entire time and effort to your Phoenix Wright wallpaper, so you won't be waiting for much longer :D.

Close-er but change to characters and maybe add a few battle scenes and small-en the logo a bit

Attention, sil vous plait!
Behold: line art.

[http://img443.imageshack.us/i/swallpaperwip.png/]

Sorry about taking so long with this--the line art is the hardest part to get right, at least for me, and it took even longer than usual because there were six characters. If you want anything changed, let me know and I'll make the adjustments before I start coloring.

I was thinking the background would be a spooky old forest type of thing, unless you had something else in mind.

EDIT: Bear in mind that I haven't done any of the designs for the shirts or Luna's dress yet, so the characters are a little more...stark, I guess, than they will be when they're finished.

Not bad. Not bad at all. I actually like that a lot so far, especially the way the hair looks on Luna. Spooky forest would be a good idea since a lot of the action in the series does take place in some forest or another. Looking forward to seeing it when it's all done :D.

I would like a good Clint Eastwood background. By that i mean like collection of roles that he had like The man with no name, Dirty Harry etc..
I've not got many requests done myself that I should have finished weeks ago, due to lack of motivation and just generally being busy. So I'll put your request up on the main page, so hopefully someone a bit speedier (and better than me) will be able to do something for you. If not, then when I've finished my unfinished work then I'll give your wallpaper a go.

Excellent! If you don't want any changes made, I'll start coloring and doing the background, which should take less time than the line art.

I'll get back to you when it's done.

Actually, looking at it, just one tiny thing. I was thinking that Mad and Alice's clothes should look just a little more torn and ragged? In the fourth story they escape from a mental hospital and end up escaping into the forest, I was imagining them as having to get over razor wire fences and stuff, so some slight scarring on their hands and feet, and their clothes should be slightly more ripped. Otherwise, brilliant job so far :D.

I'd like a higher resolution of this:

Anything that can be done to somehow make it even more awesome will bring smiles upon your ancestor's ghosts.

Wow.. I'm not sure where you're getting your renders but those white lines shouldn't be there. I might blow the dust off my copy of PS and take a stab at some of these..

You know, Captain, you're the first member of staff to post here? Kudos :D. And although I'm nowhere near skilled enough to make that any better than it already is, I'll post it on the OP so someone else can hopefully do something. Very nice image to start with though :).

Alright, I need a new wallpaper


I want it to have the same feeling as this one.
It doesn't have to be a catgirl.
It doesn't have to be blue.
It doesn't have to involve Firefox.

Just preserve the feeling

Thanks
Consider it done. I won't be able to do anything good enough myself, since I don't have the skills required for something like this. But it's on the OP now so somebody should hopefully come along who can put something good together :D.

(Speaking of which, I think it's time I messaged everyone who was interested in contributing again, since the backlog of requests is starting to pile up again...)

How's the Ace Attorney wallpaper coming along?
I actually feel quite guilty about keeping you waiting for so long. I accidentally wasted a bit of time by coming up with a great idea that, when I tried to implement, I ended up finding to be completely unfeasible. Then, BigHandInTheSky wanted me to make some changes to the designs I had come up with for his earlier request, so I had to spend some time sorting that out. Now he's happy with the final piece I have the time and motivation to finish yours, so expect it within the next few days. Again, sorry to keep you waiting, but sadly events have conspired against me, it seems... :(

The best I could do without severely damaging the quality of the image, just quote this and ask if you want it sharpened up more or upscaled more.

I'll admit, this has been getting quite silly. On my part, not on yours. I had every intention to complete it, but I have exams after Easter and so I've spent a lot of time having to revise. I realise I should have let you know, so I'm really sorry about that.

As it stands though, Darktau has put together something that vastly exceeds anything I could have done. I don't have a lot of experience with GIMP, and Darktau's picture is much better than the idea I had in mind (which was pretty unfeasible anyway with my skills). So thanks, Darktau, and apologies again, Onyx.

By the way, Darktau, also thanks for doing CaptainCrunch's request. I'll add both of those wallpapers to the OP. I've also been meaning to PM people interested in helping out about the backlog of requests that need to be done, so I'll do that at some point tonight as well... :)
