Hello once again ladies and gentlemen of TheO. I’m back yet again with another wallpaper challenge. After my last challenge ended, I was kind of stumped about what the theme of my next challenge should be. So giving it a lot of thought, I’ve decided to do something a little different from challenges I’ve done in the past. There are certain anime shows out there with endings that can be considered very tragic. Listed below are examples of some of those shows.

• Puella Magi Madoka Magica
• Kannazuki no Miko
• Code Geass
• Gurren Lagann

What I want to see for this challenge are wallpapers that capture the emotions of those tragic anime & manga moments. Now you don’t have to use a tragic anime ending. You can also use a particularly tragic moment from a certain anime, like when a beloved character gets killed off. The important thing for this challenge is the capture the emotions of that moment, whether it be the emotions of the characters in question or the emotions you felt when watching that scene.

RULES

• As usual, tell me where you got your images and what program you used to make the wallpaper.
• I probably don’t to make this a rule, but if you choose to use a song for your wallpaper it has to be a sad one.
• In the caption, describe the tragic moment being depicted, as well as what anime/manga it’s from and what characters are being shown.
• To show me you actually read the rules, put “Tragic” in the wallpaper tags.
• Limit is one submission only.

Other than that, you’re only limited by your own imagination, the standard rules of TheO, and what you can do with a computer. So be creative and have fun. Keep in mind that I’ll be judging these wallpapers based on how well you capture the emotion of the tragic moment or ending you’ve chosen to depict, so dig deep and do your best. You have two months to come up with something.
