Tags for amazing Backgrounds

I decided to share some tags (you veterans know them already) for categories where you can find amazing backgrounds for your wallpapers. The tags are on MT so I suggest making an account there because not all scans are available to download for non-members.

The tags are (they're links, click on them):

CG Scans

  • they have high quality, complex backgrounds with a variety of scenes from sunsets to churches
  • downside: you'll find a lot of ecchi and scans where the character covers the whole background, but there's a gold mine hidden, I assure you
  • examples:

5 Centimeters Per Second

  • this type of background is beautiful, but tricky because it fits with a certain type of coloring style
  • cell shaded characters often look misplaced within them
  • I suggest manga scans, not anime, with a style that resembles: Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai
  • for textures grunge should work with cities and cherry trees, bokeh with sky, but don't abuse it

Tales from Earthsea

  • this is a more complex scan category that works well with the warrior type of character
  • complex backgrounds yet again with interesting sketches of castles and diverse scenery that could benefit even experienced wallers who need a reference

redjuice

  • definitely abstract backgrounds that fit well with Vocaloid, Evangelion and characters in futuristic outfits

Kina Kazuharu

Pixiv

Alphonse

Dhiea

  • works good with Victorian scans
  • best for the fairytale theme

Vania600

(I have some questions I'll answer in other posts, they require lots of screencaps)
