I'm not sure how exactly to describe what I'm looking for / interesting in with wallpapers. I have gone through thousands upon thousands of images and saved what I liked. Hopefully someone can help me find a common theme.
For now I'll dump what I have that I like and post some commonalities I've noticed.
>Single girl prominently displayed, occupying the majority of the wallpaper
>Single predominant color, although not necessarily any particular color
>Non-distracting but not necessarily non-detailed background
Open to anyone to post ideas / wallpapers and I can post my comments / whether or not I saved

Next two after this are questionably rated... No nudity, but pretty damn close. I'll add censor bars just in case.
>>1957824
>>1957825
That's the last one I've got.
Anyone think they've found a theme? Best I've found is the beauty of the female form
>>1957826
Sorry anon but I got no name for this theme. Probably because it also combines a bunch of other themes as well. But meh I'll dump a few.

>>1958051
>>1958052
Thanks for the dumps. I'll go ahead and post my opinions on each wallpaper in case it helps to narrow down precisely what I'm looking for.
>>1958050
Looks less cute / fun / playful / elegant / beautiful and looks more trashy / unkempt. Not the feminine beauty I'm aiming for
>>1958051
The background is super bright and washes out the foreground, making it difficult to see the girl. This picture seems more focused on the stained glass than the girl
>>1958052
Save'd. The blue tint applied to the girl makes her fade into the background so she doesn't really stand out, but no part of the background particularly stands out to overpower her, either. Cute smile, very interesting scenery, altogether interesting image.
>>1958053
Eyes are a bit creepy. Per comments on the first, I'm looking primarily for "elegant / beautiful" and secondarily for "cute / playful". Neat scenery, but the girl herself is just sitting casually with the stare of demons.
lets give it a try ^^

still got stuff, but i need a feedback first
>>1958269
Save'd. Love the glow in the eyes, love how the hair floats. Only seeing a bust and not a full body is a bit of a disappointment, but the EVER-so-slight smile makes up for it
>>1958270
Save'd. I have a thing for fox girls, so this was getting saved regardless. Love the image, though. Doesn't have the "graceful" (usually only possible with a full-body shot) but definitely has "elegant" pinned with the traditional outfit
>>1958271
Not doing it for me. Dirty, broken, unkempt, and she's basically peeping out of the bottom of the picture: it's mostly a picture of clouds
>>1958272
Neat effect, but not what I'm looking for. Too artsy with the shadows on her hair / hands / headphones blending into the background. Looks more like a post for the minimalist thread
>>1958273
Serious internal debate on whether or not to save. Beautiful image, love the art, love the drawing style, love the appearance of the girl herself. However she doesn't fit the "elegant", "graceful", "playful", or "cute" styles I'm looking for. She looks less like a girl you'd admire when you saw her and more like a girl you'd just pass by without thinking about her. It's kind of fucking with my head. Why am I so drawn to her if she looks so normal?
Fuck it, save'd.
>>1958274
Cute, love it, save'd
>>1958275
Save'd twice
>>1958276
I like the eyes, but otherwise don't really like much else about the picture. The girl fades into the background, you can barely see anything, it's even hard to tell if she HAS a body -- it looks almost like she's just a face coming out of a rock or something. Not save'd.
>>1958277
Not what I'm looking for. Not sure the proper word to describe a woman in knight's ensemble, but it's not "elegant", "graceful", "cute", or "playful". Too serious.
>>1958278
Similar feel,but a bit more criminal / reckless. Too serious, not what I'm looking for.
>>1958279
Cute, love it, save'd.
>>1958697
After seeing some of the examples posted in this thread (and making my comments) I'm starting to get a slightly better clue what I'm looking for, but still not sure if there's a word for it. The best I could describe it as would be "the beauty of women" - those pixie-like creatures that have fascinated and enchanted men for 10,000 years
With this in mind instead of searching for "wallpaper" or "anime wallpaper" I started searching specifically for "anime girl", filtering for wallpaper-sized images, and skimmed another 1,000 or so to turn up a few more images I liked (posting here)

i rly kinda enjoy these kind of pics, and it's fun to browse my collection after some time again ^^

I'm either running out of words to describe the subtle differences between pictures, or I'm particular tired this morning -- but I'm going to keep my responses brief if that's alright

As far as >>1958788 goes, I blame my inability to originally describe what I'm looking for. I don't want the classic wallpaper showing the full cast of some popular anime, nor do I want to see a bunch of school girls or a handful of women at the beach. I want to be fascinated by the stunning beauty of womanhood. That's rarely (or never) seen in a public space with tons of people -- it's seen when you catch a fleeting glance of a silhouetted woman brushing her hair. For the most part, solo women will have more of that appeal -- and every picture I had up until then was a solo woman. However this picture got the same emotion I'm going for with a beautiful sisterly bond
>>1959038
This picture was close, but didn't quite grasp what I was going for. The girl was cute enough and the scene was sufficiently surreal. I think the headdress is just too distracting.
>>1959134
i wouldn blame it on you,
it´s just not everyone has the same taste
this time i´ll just dumb a few more and u might pick what u like =)

Not the right "feel"

Close, but I think too young? Not conveying the feel I'm looking for
>>1959277
>>1959280
>>1959298
All images that I might otherwise save -- the girl definitely possesses that "je ne sais quoi" that I'm looking for. But for some reason the image taken as a whole doesn't appeal to me.... I think I don't like snow?
>>1959284
Despite the above... save'd. Not sure why, I think the drawing and coloring style.
>>1959287
>>1959303
Not a fan of the art style. The fingers are way too skinny. Looks like stereotypical shoujo manga
>>1959296
Less a picture of the girl, more a picture of the building
>>1959301
Maybe I'm just starting too see too much vocaloid, maybe her mismatched clothing is bothering me. Didn't like it.
>>1959306
OMG IT'S JUST A HEAD
>>1959310
Can't put my finger on why I don't like this one. It seems otherwise to fit the bill... maybe it's the dots under the eyes - makes her looks like a clown or something. Just a guess.
Hopefully I didn't miss a post.
>>1959313
>>1959310
if its just the dots u may ask in the IMT if someone could remove them ^^
>>1959306
and y its just a head but i couldnt resist posting cause i like taiga =)
>>1959320
Like it, and save'd
I'll pop open Gimp and see if I can't remove the dots myself. I used to have Photoshop but a recent hard drive failure means I'll have to wait until Monday to contact Adobe and get my license revoked so I can install it again :(
Since I've got a serious thing for fox girls I've started searching for that to see if I can add some more to my collection -- the foxgirl to normal girl ratio is getting too low for my taste. Here's one I found
>>1959323
Here's what I got - I think it would have turned out a bit better with Photoshop, but it's passable.
Thia one isnt rly what I think you looking for but ...
