Gotta keep mine in check so people won't find out that I'm a continental buster with massively hypersonic combat speed and reaction.
What is a powerlevel wallpaper?
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.
Good examples of powerlevel include: Insignias and logos Distinctive equipment or ornamentation (weapons, masks, ribbons, hats, necklaces, glasses, anything that can identify the character to someone who knows the source) In-universe organizations Mascots and some non-humanoid side characters. Be careful on this one, it can be borderline.
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.
