Daylight Is Coming - Wallpaper

Postby Daylight » Sep 08, 2009 5:25 pm

This wallpaper was inspired by the song "Daylight" by Remedy Drive(which is also where my username came from) :D

This is only my 2nd ever wallie, so comments and suggestions would be great... :ymblushing:

I like seeing the image of Aslan as the King of His Creation. Colors and textures look great.

Fine effort.

Lovely wallie Daylight!

The coloring and textures look wonderful! The text is excellent, the design is wonderful and it's very fitting!

You did a wonderful job on it! I hope you make more! You're quite good at them! :-bd

Marvelous job, Daylight! The coloring is awesome and I love how majestic Aslan looks!! The text is amazing (I love that song! :) )! Great work, I'd love to see more wallies from you! :ymapplause:

Wow, that's your second wallpaper. I have to say that is quite good. Your picking it up pretty fast. I love the angled text and the coloring is fantastic, especially for your second wallpaper.

My only critique would be that the words themselves don't really go with the picture. I mean, I can see where Aslan would bring daylight, but in the picture the sun has already risen and it seems a bit out of place. I don't mean to sound discouraging, I just thought I would give you my 2 cents lol. I would suggest trying a situation where the words illustrate the meaning or something like that. For example, a sunrise or light coming into dark or something like that.

Great wallpaper! I look forward to seeing some more brilliant one's from you in the future.

Nice wp Daylight, simple, but very effective. I agree with what loper42 has said about your text choice. The connection between Aslan and the daylight and the sun are perfect for each other on multiple levels, but I agree on the context of the text connecting with the scene in the image. Maybe if the text read 'daylight has come' instead of the future tense. It works great with the 'to break the dawn' line, as a connection to Aslan aiding in the battle, as is with your choice of image. Maybe it's a bit cliche, but I can see the image of Aslan being brought up in coloration a bit more, to reflect the daylight reference. This might also help to strengthen the text reference. As this is only your second wp, I can definitely see that you have great design and concept ideas and you know where you want to go with a wp. I think that all you need to do is play around with subtle elements to emphasize the ideas you already have. For example, on this wp, I think your usage of design within the text is very effective. Having 'daylight is coming' being very large, bold, and in all caps. is a perfect match-up to the powerful image of Aslan roaring. 'To break the dawn' also works really well and stands out nicely with the first line of text. Keep up the awesomeness :ymapplause: .

I love the color! Beautifully done - nice and simple. I would have used a little more ornate-like text, but your style is still great! I do like how you used two different texts. ;)

I love this wallpaper, Daylight! :) I agree with some posters above about the differences between the text and the image, but the wallie is beautiful nevertheless. I really like the fonts you used and how the text fades into the clouds. Also the colouring is amazing! Great work :ymapplause:
