Its not too simple at all all wallpapers are kinda the same, sometimes its just a character render, glow around them, on black background lol. A rare few have many many layers.. btw save future wallpapers as a PNG or JPG file not a GIF and you'll get better quality for the finished product (use save frame as on the final work). And GIMP is a great free program when Jasc trial runs out. PAINT.net is decent too. |
| Thanks for the advice~ Do you know a good converting program/website? Also do you know anything like JASC? That's permanent and downloadable? (What do you think about this one?) |

Paint.net or GIMP are free downloadable alternatives to Photoshop last I checked. They work a little differently but at this point you'll do ok with them. This wallpaper is better than the last one- the renders match the background perfectly! But your wallpapers both have spottiness on them because at one point they were saved as GIF type images. You can see it most clearly on the girl's hair and guy's face. Its not a entirely bad thing but you get way more color and clarity to your work if you take this advice- When making wallpapers with JASC or any program, never save them as GIF at any point and don't use renders or backgrounds that were saved as GIFs. Once an image has been saved as GIF it loses its quality forever. The reason there's spottiness is cuz GIF is limited to 64 colors and only intended for animations, saving images as PNG type images gives way more color options. This is an image saved as PNG, crystal clear  Same image saved as GIF, a little spotty especially on her hair.  Save wallpapers and there parts as PNGs or JPGs (PNGs give best quality). To do this in JASC, right click any image you're gonna save (like the final product) and choose Save Frame as. Then in the new window go to Save as Type and choose PNG. Also make sure all images you use for wallpapers are either PNG or JPG, never use GIFs in your wallpaper designs. This will give your wallpapers way more quality and show off your full ability! |

| Alright, thanks a bunch :D I actually didn't know I saved it as GIF once (about that Steins pic) Last time I remember I saved as PNG, but I don't remember xP Thank you so much for all the advices, tips, and walkthroughs~ ^^ |

| I'll post my current wallpaper as an example of something I made. I keep it very simple so I can have my rainmeter set-up off to the right. I cut Shinobu off of a different wallpaper I have, and as for the background portion, I just put the same screen-tone texture at the top and the bottom for a mirrored effect. (Click on it for full size)  I primarily use PNGs, but for this one I decided to go JPEG for some reason. Two of my past walls (both click-able for full quality) |

 |
Also,since November is here,I just made this a few hours ago. xD Impressions? |
|
AngelicXI said: Impressions? Well if you want impressions the calendar idea is great and the background around it is real good. keep it up! But I honestly don't like the choice of render, I would use Horo or Rin Tosaka instead but if its good for you thats great. |

Well,I'm not a fan of either,and it was around three am when I looked up for a render,haha.I'll do more calendars though,and I will include Rin somewhere sometime.Or Saber...since I don't really fancy Fate/Stay night. |
