I've been wanting to make some anime wallpaper for a while. How do I do this and what do I need. Here's a sample of the kind of thing I want to do.

hmmm well first off you need a image editing program like Adobe Photoshop ($600), Paint Shop Pro ($100), or the GIMP (free) it all really depends on how much you want to pay and who knows maybe you already have one of these programs I would figure all of that out first

Get a graphic program then invest some time into learning tutorials. Than finish it all off by mixing, layering, adding mask all that fun stuff with a collage of images. It's a little hard at first but isn't impossible; if it was there wouldn't be so many wallpaper floating around on the internet.

Ok, well personally the guys replies sound depressing to me. Especially since a wallpaper like this would be very easy to make.

It's true that you will need a graphics program, and you should learn how the program works, but let me give you a quick overview of how to make this wallpaper (since I use Photoshop I'll be sort of referring to Photoshop abilities).

First the background. Look like they just took a ocean painting and used one of the filters on it. Probably either one of the blur ones or the artistic> paint dabs one, to make it fit the picture better. Although actually now that I look at it, there is the possibility that the background and the smaller image of the girl were all from the same picture. Which would mean all you would have to do is this next step:

Take the picture of the girl, and erase around her so the image is ONLY the girl. The use transform>scale to make her a lot bigger. Then go to the layers pallet and change the opacity of the large pic of the girl to a low number, which is what will make it blend in the background like that.

Of course there is a few other things but that's the gist of how to make that wallpaper. Not sure if that helped you at all since you still need a graphics program but good luck.
