Wayne Rooney - The sky's the limit.

-----------Edit-----------

V2, V3 (with old trafford instead of the sky in the BG).

Changed the shirt number, thanks messiah and monsieur gooner.

Reduced the opacity of the scan-lines, looking much better methinks. Thanks JPL.

Inspiration : An old Henry wall by Jasiano and Niran titled 'Thierry Henry - sent from the heavens to capture our hearts'.

It was and is one of my favourite wallpapers.

I quite like this. BG is nice and simple, render fits in perfectly. Text is great too. KIU, great style

Back in the days?

Niran and myself are going to be making a new version or a new wall of Henry soon.

On the wall. To be honest, i hate the render. It's far too old and i reckon a render facing us would be more suited. Whole wall could be polished off a bit better too. I really love that effect on the render though, the sparkling and so on.

One of the best signature i have ever seen in this forum, that means i like it very much

Very good job man, the simplicity is the best thing

Thank you everyone. I love simple, uncomplicated walls. But simple walls aren't always the simplest to make!

Jasiano : I chose this render because, firstly, he's jumping and reaching for the sky and secondly because he's looking away - i think it adds some depth to the graphic.

And mate, why haven't you been making any walls?! Your work would always be uber-classy. Your Pennant and Kewell wallpapers were really awesome.

i don't see here anything new , looks like your Deco (?) wall , u just added clouds to the bg. Anyway it looks good , i like the colors and idea , bg needs some more work , i know u was trying something simple , but it's IMHO too simple , simple walls are great , when has great render or text (or both )

Keep it up.

Diamen : Its quite different from the Deco one actually. This kind of thing is really subjective i guess, some people like the simple, neat feel to it and some people don't.

Maybe its me or that I'm not as experienced as some others here, but simple stuff like this takes me more time to make than walls that look more detailed/complex. There's a fine line between simple and empty, and to make a simple wall you've got to be careful not to make it look empty (or boring like my Carter wall).

This is what i think of while making my walls, and i know the execution is a bit off but i'm trying to improve on that.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Appreciate it.
