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.

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

Imagine trying to hide your "power level" from anyone.
Are you some faggot who still lives with your parents or with other people?
>>
>>2255878
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.
