CHAMPLOO FTW~! I love this animeXD The characters are so funky and whimsical (and random), and the ANIMATION. IS. WIN. YEAH. The plot may be a bit iffy, but the characters more then make up for that:D

Anyways, I vectored these scans:http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Samurai-Champloo/item124335/http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Samurai-Champloo/item124336/http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Samurai-Champloo/item124334/

I got bored halfway through, so I gave up vectoring the whole scans, threw them all together, resized them, moved them around some, added an orange background, tossed in some textures, and here is the result.

Music: "You Can't Stop Me" by Guano Apes

Title was inspired by the song "We Are Mice" by Azure Ray. I could explain my train of thought, buuuuut....nah. :P

I'll add more resolutions later.

Note: The smaller the resolution, the better it looks. Big resolutions look ugly. TTATT

Hmm, if they were real people, this would almost look like a CD cover for a movie or something, lol.

I adore grungy walls and the vectors are superb. Add a little bit of green and orange and the whole thing looks so refreshing. And pretty. And Samurai Champloo-ish. ...That didn't make too much sense, but never mind. Bottom line is, I like this a lot. XD

I like the way each character is "sitting" on/set behind the other(s) nicely. :) Nice texture and interesting colors too. Though....no TEXT?? Hehe guess I'm used to your nice typography too. Overall the wall is pretty simple with the vector and textures, and feels a bit like it's missing something.... I dunno if that would be text though. XD

I took the liberty of looking into your suggestion that the smaller the resolution got, the better it looked~

I actually agree with you on that note because I think your biggest version lets the odd parts of the grunge texture you use lose it's quality - I also think it's because there's a bigger blank space with the bigger resolution.

On that note, I really like what you've done with this wall. The colors are great and I especially like how you integrated the three scans into something as awesome as this. The blends are nice and the blend from their original bodies to that of the actual background work great with the entire piece.

I think for your bigger resolutions, the idea mentioned earlier about adding text would help solve the "missing" feeling dilemma but I don't think it's that big of a deal because the whole wall works great for a desktop background :)

Great work~!

Great! i like the texture and also the vector composition and no text is definitely also good one, cause i do not like text XD though the splash below kinda irritating to see, like blood but not....hmm

hmm i can't say that i like the way the characters are placed, i feel like a more staggered approach would have let more of the vector become showcased + fill up the screen. and i think the texture over them needs to be lessened a bit (i also think you should credit the series in your sig XD)

that being said i love the colors that you chose and the overlaying of various textures, i think you have a fabulous way with textures and you should run with it--maybe even comebined it a bit with your cleaner simple style of bgs. i like that this isnt your average day texture whored wall and it does draw more on western grunge art

great job!

nice wall but i think its a bit heavily textured and for that a different colour just to create a bit of contrast and liven up the characters might have been a good idea still props to you, good simple vector meshed into a nice wall

Nice wall ^^ You vector the various scans very effectively. I like each & every character from the Anime ^^ It’s nice to have them here. You’ve used the different colors incredibly, the texture are also nice, but still I would like to say that the wall looks a little bit heavily textured. Still a very nice work, it contains a kind of originality. Thanks for sharing this with us ^__^ & + fav
Keep up the great work.

I like the grungy feel of it, but I think it would be better with some text. ;D

I like how you incorporated all three of the main characters with a greatly textured background!

The background is amazing! (as you've already heard....) I love how it meets the clothing seams. The staggering of the busts is also very well thought out.

D; You're right when you said it looks better in the smaller resolutions. Too bad I have a high resolution screen Dx But good job nonetheless.
