I seem to be finding inspiration for Narnian wallpapers everywhere! 
These four wallies are a series, each with half of a verse from the song "Slow Down" by Chasen. The pictures are from LWW and the lyrics are referring to what each of the kids were "seeing" about themselves at some point during their adventure, and what Aslan saw that they could be.
I'm more pleased with how some of them turned out than others, but overall I think they turned out pretty well. I would love to hear your comments and critiques!
(the wallies are placed in the order of the lines from the song)
"Oh telescope, keep an eye on my only hope,
Lest I blink and be swept off the narrow road.
Hercules, you've got nothing to say to me,
'Cause you're not the blinding light that I need.
For He is the saving grace of the Galaxies."

Dekkie, these wallpapers are absolutely beautiful! The lyrics are amazing and they fit so perfectly. I also love the black and white feel of all of them, and the coloring you did on their eyes. The screencaps you used accurately express the meaningfulness of the lyrics. I can't tell you how much I love these... Great job!!

A great set of wps Dekkie. The concept to the series is superb. Overall design and layout on all four look good (nice and simple). Coloration throughout also looks good. I really like how you have decided not to emphasize the color on each. Text is great on all four pieces, each line you have chosen reflects each Pevensie that its paired with. Font choices are great as well. I really like the emphasis given in certain parts of the text by the font you have chosen (helps give the sense of what Aslan would say and mean to each Pevensie). Very effective on the visual level here. The blending of imagery with the BG is flawless on each wp. I also like how you have chosen to use different images of the Pevensies, each from a different moment in the film (and important moments in their journeys). A strong concept with perfect text and imagery to match. Nice work on this set

Hey Dekkie! Very nice! I especially love Ed's! Hey is the font of the text
'a bunch of blank pages' a font related to one called Fairydust? I have one SO similar but yours is varied in some of the swirly stuff. Mind sharing... please? =D Otherwise, very nice work!!

7chronicles, Thank you so much! The similarities between the lyrics and the journeys of the characters amazed me too!
Pepper Darcy, Thanks! I'm partial to Ed's wp myself. As for the font, it's called Wilderness from dafont.com
