Hi GA, been a long time. I got a css question for you. When making a UP css whats the best way to test how it looks? Do I have to upload it and check how it looks on my UP every time or is there a better way?

Oh! first time seeing such a constructive comment that does more than just saying stuffs like "u forgot your sig". :) thanks for the advices.

Im still at the learning stage for cinema 4D, so a hyper-realistic render is still my goal :) C4D gives out very nice GI images, so I like to use it for these kinds of render :)

thanks for your comment again! :)

I usually don't even bother to look at walls that have cliche elements like a logo and loose items (like the horizontal swords), but in this wall it works out pretty well.
I love the way the swords are framing the image, so you don't lose the inpact of the scene by having too much air and/or ground. So good job on the composition. However, I think your choice in style isn't very good. The painty look destroys a lot of detail on the character and swords. The swords are pretty disastrous as they're blurred out and very grainy on the edges. I would've preferred a sharp, clean and detailed look (which is still possible within a painty look). Lastly, don't advertise with providing ALL resolutions if you haven't included 16:9 ones :(

Thanks a lot for your interesting comment. I don't think I will modify this wallpaper anymore, but I will take your advice into account for my future wallpapers.
