>Powerlevel is, above all, SUBTLE. It attempts to obscure its source material to anyone unfamiliar with it. It looks good to the uninitiated, while providing a neat nod for anyone who knows the reference.

>What powerlevel usually does NOT include:
>The anime's name or a character's name. There is some wiggle room here if all other criteria are met.
>Faces, or most of a character's body.
>Minimalism, if it depicts a character.
>Landscapes and cityscapes. There is almost no wiggle room, unless you are 100% sure it's powerlevel despite being a landscape. We know, Monogatari and 5cm/s backgrounds look pretty good, but this isn't the thread for them.
>Screencaps, unless the screencaps have been doctored to be high quality.
Read the OP, powerlevel wallpaper should not look like referencing anime/manga at all.';

NTA, but when someone asked about it on /wsr/ about a year ago, I wrote a script to resolve the characters and color in the image.
Here's the end result: https://files.catbox.moe/lgxct8.txt
It uses ANSI escape codes for the colors, so if you run `cat lgxct8.txt` in a terminal on Linux, it gets printed out with colors.
And here it is without colors: https://files.catbox.moe/duov0f.txt';

creativity, motherfucker, ever heard of it

the whole point of powerlevel wallpapers isn't about being ashamed of liking a show/movie/whatever, but about it's about pushing how far you can obscure a reference to a show/movie/whatever while still making something aesthetically appealing

as an example off the top of my head, if you wanted to make a Gunsmith Cats powerlevel wallpaper, one idea would be to use the colors of Rally's Shelby GT-500 (blue with two stripes down the middle) and have a handgun (for Rally) and a grenade (for Minnie May) on either side of the stripes, possibly in silhouette - done with enough skill, the result would probably look interesting enough to casual eyes, but those who know about Gunsmith Cats would be more inclined to catch the "hidden" reference';

'>>2255878
For me I like the aesthetics of a power level wallpaper. I like simplicity that can convey something deeper, which is exactly what a power level wallpaper is. It's just clean.
I don't give a fuck what people around me say about my wallpaper, in fact anime has been normal for a while now, and all the people I know watch anime, so if anything they'll ask me where I got it from.';
