Ichigo 100% Wallpapers [clean]

Hey there,

I've been watching and reading the Ichigo 100% series, OVAs and Manga, and I've fallen into it, thus, I've made my 1st wallpares for the series. Expect more to come. as this one is a lean one (no ecchi on it) I decided to post here, but if Mods think this should be in ecchi please let me know and move it.

This wallpaper has been created from 4 scenes of the OVA 1 of the series (released for the summer fest 2004). I'll left the link of the imag as it is 1280 x 800, my resolution. If you like it and want me to fix it for a lower resolution, let me know. I know nishino needs to be cleared a little bit more, but once again, t's my first for the series.

Without further ado, here's the link.

Ichigo 100% - Wallpaper 01: Nishino to Tojou (Nishino and Tojou)

comments are welcome, and if you need more wallpapers from this series let me know.

I truly do mean this when I say it, but I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I think you should make your own wallpapers. Those look like they are from the series themselves. I think it would look a lot nicer if you'd blended or rendered the pics so they don't look like they were from other pictures. Add diferent lighting which is not there to create more energy and have more than just the faces-some background would've made it look a lot better.
I hope I did not discourage you, for what I say is really meant to encourage you. I hope you keep up the good work so I may see another one of your pictures again.

thanks Takasan, your critic is 100% right, I just wanted to extract the characters and play a bit with them. I did this in 10 mins including the cleansing of the characters and putting them toghether. Right now I'm drawing them so I can repaint them and add the effects I want. Laughing

I just simply loved the expressions of Nishino and tojou on ther respective scenes and wanted to get them toghether... and that seemed to be ok as you didn't mentioned dispairment on expressions, just light ad energy.

by the way, the sky background is my own. the logo, Tojou and nishino are the ones I took fom different scenes.

Are you doing the pic on Photoshop? Cause the wallpaper could use a bit of "Saturation". It is a bit bland/colorless. Not exactly colorless, but they have a pastel color, which makes it look an obvious screenshot.

Probably a "Contrast/Brightness" would enhance the look and feel of the pic. A high contrast pic would enhance the light and emphasize the shadows. A great tool.

Also, "Smart Blur" would clean any random smudge/noise in the pic.

Try that, it works for me~!

Looks great to me! It would be better if Satsuki is in it as well!

arigatou CGY,

I didn't added Satsuki chan there as I didn't liked her on the OVA1, I'll see if I can get some from the OVA4...

Hey hey, have you done any more wallpapers?? Can I see them??

If I may have a request, please have the 4 girls on it. Also, I like Toujo, so a solo pic would be nice too~ ^_^

Haha, I'm not used to making requests..... Wink

You made the background? Wow thats good! You gotta give me tips on doing the sky and clouds(and a bunch of other things) I basically have no experience with any background. I really like the blue sky in contrast to the clouds.

well, I tend to do skies with mixed colours and textures... I made a script so I create the clouds out of circles and then run the script... pretty simple... hehehe, the problem is that I formatted my HD and forgot to copy that script Embarassed

I'll do my best to create it again and send it...

Meganekko, I'll do my best to create the 4 girls and 1 only toujo... I'm in beween jobs so I've ran out of spare time... but I'll be doing them soon.

cheers.
