[Closed] Aslan - Strong Enough to Save You

I made this wallpaper a while ago, but I had the inspiration for the text last night.
I have four versions (two versions with text, two versions without) because, as usual, I had trouble making up my mind on how I liked it best. ;))

The text comes from the song 'Strong Enough to Save' by Tenth Avenue North.

I'm laughing a bit, because the idea had JUST popped into my head to make an Aslan WP with Strong Enough To Save, and then I saw this. ;)) Great minds (and Narnia/TAN fans) think alike! ;)

Anyway...wow. This wallpaper is simply breathtaking! :D The image goes perfectly with the text, and the coloring is so warm and gorgeous! I love the contrast of the dark, more gritty textures. And of course, the lyrics are awesome. ;) Can I ask what font you used?

WOW - that is really beautiful! :-o The colouring is so beautiful and perfect and the textures looked lovely. May I ask where you got them? No doubt DeviantART but I can never find anything on there for some reason. I personally prefer the coloured version to the black and white but they're both nice. The font of the text fits perfectly as well, as do the lyrics. Wonderful!!! :D

That's really cool! I definitely like the one with the text better. I'm not sure if I like it in color or in b&w... I don't know. They look so cool! I love the pic you used. The textures are really nice too. What font did you use? I really like it! :D

A great set of wps flambeau. Personally, I prefer the versions with text, but that is not to say that the versions with just imagery are not working. I just feel like the text seems to give more "umph" to the piece (provides a bit more meaning as compared to just the image). The graphic quality to the image is great and I really like how this effect works its way into the border (has a nice gritty feel to the edge). I feel like the greyscale version is much more effective visually on the wp without text while the color version is working more effectively on the wp with wording.

More specifically for the text pieces, layout is great. There's a nice balance between the imagery and the text. I like the bit of red coloration around the text on the greyscale piece, but I would like to see it amplified a bit more (could push the concept of the text a bit more as well).
Your choice of text is perfect for the concept of the piece and as a match-up to the image. Nice work on all four wps .

Ooh! I love this. All four versions are beautiful and I just can't choose a favorite. :p I've been looking for a new wallpaper to use, and I think I will use one of these if that's alright. ;;) I love them! Great job, flambeau! :D

Egg-cell-ant work!!! (srry been wanting to do that for a while) I like the black and white one with the text the most. Nice lighting.

Although i love all the versions my favourite has to be the coloured wallpaper with text. The colouring is beautiful and the text and font very fitting. Excellent! :)

Thank you all for the comments! :)

For everyone who asked, the font that I used is called Downcome and is available on dafont.com (at the link I provided). :)

;)) That's funny! Are you still planning on making yours? I'd love to see it if you do! :)

Well, I found the frame on a stock website, but I'm not sure what textures I used beside that, so I'm not sure where they originated. I probably found them on livejournal, as opposed to DA. :)

Thank you DJP and LadyGrace! :)

:D Thanks so much!

Thank you for the critique, Lion's Emblem! As always, I appreciate your advice! :)

That is perfectly alright! Thank you so much! :)

And thank you to wolf and Aurora! :)

Great job Flambeau! :) I really like them all, although I think I prefer the colored version with text best, because of the contrast between the red text and the blue sky. And what a lovely choice of lyric to use, of course. ;)
