Okay, this vector took FOREVER. Not literally, obvious exaggeration. But it was still a massive pain.
After finally settling on an image (I wanted a wall of all four of the main characters so that helped narrow things down) I did a big black vector outline of everything, characters and objects. That wasn't too bad, but then I did a white layer and vectors in all the big old details. That quickly got very, very, very old. See that chain connected to Haine? Yeah, I hate it. It is my mortal enemy. After that I started filling in the gray parts (Naoto and Badou's hair, the metal, the apple, etc) with red. I liked having all the in between colors in red at first but then I felt it was overwhelming and decided to only put certain items in red.
The majority of this wall is vectoring with some gradients.
I've been working on it since Feb. 12 so this has been in the works 25 days.
EDIT: Updated so there is a standard screen option as well.

*looks at the wall*
*squints at the chain and details*
...Wow. I can imagine how long it had to take you to finish this...but I can say your effort has definitely paid off - this looks awesome! And it looks awesome for various reasons: it's a monochrome wall with a touch of red here and there, the vector is awesome aaand, it's a DOGS wall with all major characters which is of course the most awesome thing! XD
Seriously, great work on this! It looks rather simple but elegant and powerful. Nice job! :)

Simply fantastic! +fav

Honestly, I was startled at the first, even though I never heard about the series. Then I was, again, surprise by the amount of time to finished and corrected everything. The effort you've done here is equal with the quality of the wall, no doubt about it. Nicely done!

as usual! black + red = awesomeness! ^o^ good vector and quality, and also, I like their poses...

I love this style! I've never read Dogs before, but your wall definitely makes me want to. +fav

Great composing, but you failed organizing it. The colours are out of range and distract our attention. The performers are a bit messy with the style, but it is the designer own style…I think you should thought about a better way of exposition, that is all. Still a good work but could be better.

this is just an amazing piece of art!! i love the combination of 3 colors <3 and the vector is amazing >.< thank youuu

Awesome wallpaper!
Your effort has made a beautiful wallpaper! BE PROUD! :D I really like the vector job and the color scheme. It was a good idea to only color certain items red, because it puts emphasis on things. Plus, it gives it a nice edgy vibe to the wallpaper. Anyway good job!! :D

I can see why the chain was your mortal enemy........*stares* anyway great wallie, the vector is amazing! XD I like the placement of the red colours, it's just right to make the wall stand out :)

I especially like how each character has their own red accent. It pops without overwhelming the black-white-grey. I can't believe you vectored this without snapping. So clean. It's a fantastic end result, and I certainly hope you think it was worth the work. Haine and his chain... I wonder if Shirow Miwa ever regrets designing that little accessory.

Very nice, I love the color. The contrasts of black, red, grey and white are... wow. Good work, I love it. <3

I've just started reading and collecting DOGS but I can pretty much understand why its a pain to vector. Despite the hm... business of the original image, its really amazing that you can actually finish vectoring the whole thing! 25 days is fast yo. I can leave a vector sleeping untouched for a year LOL.
Back to the wall, this vectored wall is awesome. I love how you add the red touch in an otherwise black, white and gray atmosphere. Beautiful indeed.

You did an amazing job. I'm almost surprised you finished vectoring this image with how intricate and detailed it is. But you did, so huzzah! I really like how each character has some red object on or near them, tying everyone together as a whole and adding just the right amount of color to this otherwise monochrome scan. Great job =)
