I dunno, if you keep looking at the text, it'll eventually turn to "silence of the lamboos"? or is it me lacking sleep...
i failed pretty badly at making simple wallpapers, so i thought i'll try again. well, it's not that simple, but simple enough? anyways, i found this vector of a scan i really liked, so i decided to wall it. except i've never worked with scans with this kind of style and the perspective made it hard for me to come up with a background, so i suffered a little. in the end, i decided to go for bamboo bg (influenced by the samurai champloo wallpaper by kalico) and yeah. ended with this.
thank you to *pulver for making such an awesome vector.
EDIT: By popular (?) demands, here's the textless version

This is exactly the color scheme I'm looking for! Brilliant blue-green gradient application, and it does so much for the perspective and depth of the wall~ I also love the vector as you've convinced me that this series is worth looking into. Kudos! :)

FIRST TO COMMENT. GARSNGARSNGARS. (>_<)9
Oh WOW!!! It's been a while since I've heard from ya!

lol i love it! the colors and concept fit the vector nicely. just one complaint that the text is just kind of sitting there, you should blend it into the bg a bit more and i think some overlap of the first and second line would be great nice job~

Wow! very crisp, clean, and simple... looks really nice..

I like that scan/vector very much too, and was waiting to see when someone would wall it. :) I actually really like the bamboo and perspective you made. I just feel the color scheme could use some dashes of red to spice it up (like in the original scan), and the text seems a bit on the sharp side. I don't know about the font choice, hmm, but I'm not sure if there would be a better alternative font though. ^^; But good job overall! :D

Cocept and colors in the wallpaper is very wonderful. They make the lonely Samurai and the forest of bamboos be one unit in the wallpaper.

Looks pretty good, the only thing that can be improved is the text. Not just the color, but the choice of text as well as the arrangement of elements.
But it's a good wall, I should say.
4 years, 2 weeks ago
Awesome! You might have sufferred but the result is excellent! I really like the bamboo... and the perspective is just right. You managed to create a feel of a 'forest' of bamboo with a reather few amount of bamboo. Your choice of color is good, and the text is really fitting! Excellent depth as well (with the small amount of gradients). +Fav!

Well, I like the color composition and this wall perspective. But I do have a little complain about this wall perspective. A bit wrong for my eyes. But, it could be just my eyes XD
Still love this wall though!

I don't like the text, it's very plain and distracts from the rest of the wall. Is there anyway I could get a text-less version of this image because I do like it and the gradients are a lovely touch.
4 years, 2 weeks ago
wow very lovely texture ...and the wallpaper looks nice too =^^= wonderful work.
4 years, 2 weeks ago
Gorgeous wallpaper! Although I wish there was a textless version, just so the lines of the bamboo are better preserved.
4 years, 2 weeks ago
Fantastic job vectoring. This is really good. I love the bamboo!! The colors are gorgeous. The only thing I don't care for as much is the text. *fav*
4 years, 2 weeks ago
your idea of simple is... not so simple, haha. but i really, really like this. Silence of the Lamboos wouldn't be such a bad title either, hahaha. despite your suffering, your end result is really amazing and the depth and colouring all work very nicely together. it's a beautiful vector turned into a beautiful wallpaper.
favourite!

What's not to love about this wallpaper? I saw it, downloaded it and immediately set it as my new wall and I'm guessing that it will stay there for quite some time.

Oh wonderful really.. I like colours, they're relaxing and deeply charming as well. I don't know the chara but the whole work is really stylish in my opinion ^^ Vectors never fail P(T_T)

I'm loving all those shades of green, the vector is neat and the guy looks nice. I like the idea and how is looking overal. But I sort have to agree about the text matter. It looks like you trew it there d: Anyway great job. Good luck on future projects.

you! i wanted to see this walled so badly =D you did such a good job creating the scene thumbs up! the only little thing i dislike is the border on the text
anyywayyy good job! i really luv this!
4 years, 2 weeks ago
I was going to say that it reminded me a lot of Kalico's Samurai Champloo wallpaper way back when until I read your description. xD
It's really good! It's a clean vector with carefully-chosen colours. :)
4 years, 2 weeks ago
Wow that's gorgeous, so crisp and clear. Also, that color green is pretty much the best thing ever :) Just the text is a little weird - the color, the placement, the clarity. Really I don't even think it's necessary...

good job on this wall, i liked two dimensional walls like this and i actually want to make one XD the bamboos fit it, really good idea. though i would like the font different.

Wonderful color scheme. <3 Brown and turquoise = instawin. The textless version is much better to me since I find the text rather distracting. I love the vector of the guy and the bamboo background. The bg and vector both look like they were made for each other; they look pefect together. That's quite rare for the two to work so splendidly together when they aren't made by the same person. Great work!

I love it! A nice smooth vector with some really trippy perspective--great job! It kind of makes my head spin, but in a good way. The colors are nice and soothing, and his eyes are noticeable without clashing with the rest of the wall. Even the text fits nicely, and while I normally abhor serif fonts, it really works here. Awesome job! +fave

Hmmm, honestly, I don't entirely care for the bamboo in the picture. Maybe if you had gone for a different color other than black for the shadowed areas, it would have been better. It just gives me this weird sensation of depth that I don't think quite matches the character in the wallpaper. I think it's a good idea, but by playing around with the bamboo a bit, you could get a better effect going.

The color scheme is very eye pleasing and calming to someone like me who has just blown up emotionally in a time span of a second. My only critique is the text. In your last wall, it was part of the wall, it was alive it breathed along and with the wall. But here... it's just sitting there lifelessly, just like "errr, type it and go" kind of feel. Maybe do some splish splash with textures onto it or something. In this wall, it's the wall and the text. Not the wall.
Still, very pleasing. I took a look at all of your walls just a second ago. You have improved dramatically. Very visible. Also... your personality and maturity has changed. Yes, I can see that in your walls. +fave.
