The Reflections of a Sword. I have had this idea for a long time. Show reflections of bleach characters on a sword, and the fact that they are wearing normal clothes adds to the symbolism of a sword changing a man. So the actual making of the wall was only possible with the render of the sword done by assassin00 who kindly allowed me to use it in the wall. Here is the render:http://assassin00.deviantart.com/art/Katana-12-WIP-Preview-65721651Thanks again assassin00
The rest wasn't very difficult simple photoshoping but it has been a long ongoing process. Finally i got the product i was looking for :D
So thats the small brainspill for this wallpaper. Enjoy :D
And I dedicate this wall to my first buddy on Animepaper the one and only nHen!!!

Hmm, very, very creative idea you got here!
I would have preferred just one character to be reflected on the sword, but meh that's just my opinion. Reflections could be a little more realistically angled and etc, and in general it definitely could be improved!
Keep up the good work.

Wow, very nice colours! I love that it's in grey. Sets a nice mood - and the sword is really cool!

I'm not too familiar with the show, but from what I do know of it, this wallpaper seems to speak to its heart and its aim, and I think that's what I like best about it. What a unique and inspiring idea. It could almost be a photograph. Cool!

Very smart wall .... I like what you how dan nice .. Buth i think wall is incomplit whit the reflections could be a little more realistically .
Good work ..

Grey colors in the wallpaper are not only cold but also smooth. Three characters' faces on the blade is unavoidable destiny as samurai warriors.

I don't watch Bleach but this wallpaper was just too good to not download. As the others have mentioned though, it would be good if the reflections were made much more realistic. If you managed to pull that off, I would give an SSS rating to your wall (too bad I don't have control over the rating system XD)

thats really cool, i really like this one a lot. i love it. XP L-O-V-E IT <3 i see it as a second identity that a man or person would have when he/she has something that is a sign of power. either they do what is right and go down trying or give in to the temptations that are always lurking in the corners of the eye. I love the suspension, like one wrong move and thats it, your dead or done for. Very awesome, the hero or the villian.... only time will tell when fate makes it final move, words with no meaning....XP

I like how the black and white colours give this a Tarantino, Kill Bill, type of feel. I particularly like the way the light reflects off the sword casting the shadows beneath it to give it more of a life like feel.

Someone please tell me why this is top rated? o_O Some very low-quality scans pasted onto a sword render that you didn't make(the reason people like this wall so much I'm guessing)... and text that looks like it was put in with MS Paint. Not trying to be harsh or anything, but I'm amazed this was accepted let alone top rated. Just not my cup-o-tea I guess.

Excellent symbolism! I love what you portrayed. the real and the change by reflection.. I am curious as to why you chose those 3 but, regardless, it is still a fantastic wall.

I really like this one. Although I think a textless one or changing the words a bit might be better.
Maybe instead of "SOMEBODY else" it says "something else" or someone else....I dunno. I just don't like the SOMEBODY part for some reason. lol
Other than that, GREAT WALL!!!

I was just looking through the top walls when i saw this, and just had to take a closer look. The concept is quite an interesting one and i think it was very creative. Keep up the good work ^_^. +fav.
4 years, 10 months ago
The concept is pretty good actually, but I'm wondering what it would look like with only one person and up close. The three of them seem to be at a distance from the sword. Regardless, the work on the background's pretty good!

Wow I have to admit I've never seen a wallpaper like this before and I must say I really really like it. :D I'm a huge fan of both Katana's and Bleach so this is just perfect for my background, also the coloring is fantastic the silver and gray FABULOUS. The only thing I will say is that the resolution needs to be bigger because you really can't get the full effect of the wall with it being so small other then that you did a wonderful job and I wouldn't change a thing. A+ and a fav .(n_n).

Definitely an outstanding wallpaper - even though it's "just gray". I didn't watch the show so I can't say whether it's good according to it.. but it's definitely a creative idea. Thus my acknowledgement and thanks for sharing it :). Come to think of it: I might have inverted the letters, since anyone familiar with the show or able to read the "Copyright"-notice would be able to recognize that it's bleach. But it'd have a tid more "integration" into the sword-picture this way. Either way - good work!
4 years, 10 months ago
Great job on this. I love what you've done. The only complaint I have is that the images should have been bend at ridge on the sword.

Now this is a very brilliantly designed wallpaper, the sword looks awsome, infact I saw a sword like that one fore sale on some website, I think maybe swordswords.com or trueswords.com , well the sword that I saw had the same tsuba as that one in the wall, not sure about the color of the hitl kinda forgot. But back to the wallpaper, you choose some great pictures of the bleach guys to put in the relfection tottaly awsome love this one. Diffenently an A ranked wallpaper beautiful, thank you for sharing. OH yeah! that background is pretty classy too.

I also used the reflecting ability of a blade to create a wallpaper and I think it's always refreshing when a good idea which is pretty original is used in a scenic wallpaper!
I love the blade and we compliment both Assassin00 ans you for the work you did on that.
The background work is really cool and I can see you put lot of efforts into it. Good job.
As for the choice of the casual clothing I totally agree with your choice : and I really like those clothing! :)
Anyway a total fav even if my picky sens of detail would like some adjustments! lol But I guess as your wallpaper went all the way to the SS category I'm probably really too picky! ^_^
Great job really.

Very interesting wallpaper. I like how you grabbed a real life image of a sword and turn it into a wallpaper. The reflection of Bleach's characters in this a nice touch. I like the contrast you put into this. The patterns in the back and the light shining on top of the blade is a great touch. You did a neat job.
2 years, 9 months ago
What a very creative wallpaper here for BLEACH, the sword is VERY nice looking and using this real life image sword makes it more interesting too. Adding the characters with normal clothes was a great idea too almost can get confused with the text saying, which by the way the text is COOL, since if they transform due to the sword you would almost put them in their shinigami outfits or their most powerful outfits instead on the reflection of the sword. Although I can see were your going with this and you did a very Great Job.
2 years, 8 months ago
Great idea... I really like the photo and the fact you just used grayscale... 8)E The wallpaper is in a perfect mood and the title "BLEACH" is just in the schadow - great! Oh my god, I can't stop telling how awesome it is (XD) Keep it up! |(n_n)|

interesting concept! i like the whole reflection idea. the words fit the wallpaper pretty well, and it really doesn't hurt to have my favorite character hitsugaya-kun on this wallpaper. :D the render looks really life-like, and adds points to this wallpaper. but i have to admit that i'm not too fond of the black and white scheme, and I think adding some colors to this wallpaper might have made it more interesting and attractive. but otherwise, cool concept and great job :)
