No problem at all! I noticed that a lot of your comments weren't ones that were, well, detailed, so I decided that I'd give you some commentary of what I noticed (since I make wallpapers as well). <3

So I have noticed! Your walls are very good, I must say, especially your currently favourited one of the Sparda boys and those two other characters. ^^

Thank you so much. <3 I took me a year, but I finally got the hang of the program that I use to make them... now I just have to fool around with fancy effects and stuff like that. :'D Should be fun. Those other characters are Kalas and Sagi, if you were curious. ^^ They're from an underrated series called Baten Kaitos (Origins) for the Nintendo Gamecube. x3

A year?! Oh, my, that wallpaper must have a hard one to put together then. But I can understand why it took so long. Finding the right pieces are hard to come by. As for the effects on your program, don't sweat it. It won't take long to figure out which effects fit just right for each picture. It only took me a few weeks with messing around with PhotoShop before I knew how it worked.

The more annoying part was the cropping. I wanted to make it look perfect, so I spent almost an hour a picture. The easy part was placing them in the right positions and finding a background that worked right with it. It is definitely hard finding half decent things to use for it, but those two pieces in that wallpaper were made specifically for me by an artist on a site called y!gallery. :'D That's how I learned a lot of my stuff; trial and error. I only figured out opacity by going "Hey, what's this do?" *click* "Oh cool!" ^^;

I see. Having your own resources are usually the best for wallpapers since you would already know what you want on then. :)

True that, but most of the time, I just go around on google images or photobucket, grab some pictures I like, and run with it. Sometimes the end result will be something I'll like, other times not, but hey. We all learn by trial and error, I think. ^^

Same here! If you hadn't already noticed--which would be very hard NOT to--all the images of my wallpapers are from google and other websites. they're just easier to find and use, I think. cx
