14th wallpaper. 3rd for Bleach.
This wallpaper is dedicated to my friend, Mika-chan for her belated birthday.
Zanpaktou and characters were vectored from a scan by Rurubell:
^0
This is the worse amount of revisions I have ever did, compared to my past accepted wallpapers. This is the 4th revision. And it's all because of the freaking background which I couldn't make up my mind on.
I decided to experiment on all the brushes and fonts available in my collection. And came out with a different versions, for different people's liking.
Version #1 : 2560x1600Reason: Too messy. I was overwhelm with the messiness when I first placed on my desktop.Version #2 : 2560x1600Reason: Too simple. I don't know, I don't know. Looks more girlish, like my sister said.Version #3 : 2560x1600Reason: Similar to the one submitted, except the red words on the zanpaktou.
** The Making of The Icy Snow Moon And The Sorry Sakura**
Vector: Outlines and Colour: Byakuya, Rukia, Kira, Ichigo then Hitsugaya. Each character : Appx. 1 hr. 5x1=5 hrs. (Approximated value)
Hours used on the current background: 2-3 hours
Hours [strike]wasted[/strike] on other backgrounds: Version #1 : 2-3 hours. Version #2 : 1 hour
[strike]Hours spent on thinking 3 freaking Maths questions : 1 hour.[/strike]
Why this title? I have no more ideas on giving a special name to this. So I formed a nice story like on the strings of important words which represents their power or the name of their zanpaktou.
Hitsugaya : Ice (Hyo) Rukia : Snow (Yuki) Ichigo : Moon (Getsu) Kira : Sorry / Apologize (Wabi) Byakuya : Sakura (Sakura)
The arrangements of the words are based on the position of their zanpaktou in some survey, which is already stated in the original scan itself.
What I enjoy : Burn, Brush and Film Grain their colours.What I hate : Almost everything, including the one I enjoy. No idea on the BG and the process of exploring one, in an exhaustion mode.
I have learned quite a lot from the making process of this wallpaper. I've found out that my colouring skills has improved, compared to my other related wallpapers. I found too that my mouse at home is fine to be used, and rather photoshop friendly, if I don't use it on my slippery mousepad. So, it's not spoilt yet. Moreover, I explored new ways to improve my colouring, like Film Graining, Blurring, Smudging, and Opacity of Burning. Adjusting those or more will produce a better looking effects.
And I have wasted my sleeping time, just to crack my brain on this wallpaper. I wanted to make a Kuroshitsuji wallpaper, but alas, I've spent my 2 weeks of holidays going back to college to study. *hits head*
I think that's all.
I would like to say Thank You to all of those who gave me comments during the whole process, both in SZ (vazabi and Horseradish) and friends (Yvonne, Qwang Szaen and Yun) and also my sister. Thanks for being patient.
Credits goes to the person who made the brushes used to substitude some patterns on Hitsugaya and Kira's clothes.
Any comments or critiques are perfectly welcomed. I may not be abe to personally send you a Thanks through User Comments due to increasing EXTREMELY HARD maths questions, and time constrain.
Thanks for your comments, downloads, and favourites.
p/s: Other resolutions may or may not be available. But no other resolutions on other versions.

I like the black lines on white, I think it fits bleach a lot. The lines are clean too! I didn't realize those were weapons until I had a good look! Haha! Great work!

As I said on SZ, this one is really creative and original. I love it so much--though I think the black BG would suit it best... XD D'you have the black BG? ^^ Anyway, fantastic job.

Great wallpaper. It's a really different piece but in an extremely good way. The vectoring is brillaint, the colours really pop out at you and the text is really well placed. Just what my desktop was screaming for! It's happy now. Well done on making such a wicked wallpaper and I thank you for it :) Definitely a new fav :)

Very nice, unique vector skills! The lines look messy and sketchy in a good way. :)
I love how their eyes are done, especially Ichigo's. The colors on the vector look good and the b&w theme of the wall flatters it perfectly. Great job on the text too. :) Nice work!

Keep up the good work, +fav!

A fine Bleach wall...! The one you submitted here looks nice, but I prefer your first version. I don't know why it looked messy to you, but to me, it's better. Choosing the right background is kinda hard, ey. Anyway, great effort!~

Interesting. It took me a while to understand the Zampakto concept, but after a second, I got it.
Anyway, I just think that it would have been nicer to have some more Zampaktos in the image. Of course, that would have taken a lot of work, but I think it might pay off.

Me encanto la idea que tuvo el artista al hacer este wall. Me parece muy original y ademas, destacan los mejores personajes del anime en una buena calidad *-*

Wow. Brilliant Wallpaper Nice use of characters and wording. Fantastic idea with the swords. But have to say too much white... still a great wallpaper though.

I like the way you break up the faces within the swords. Nice touch :-)

I think the amount of effort you put into this really shows through! Kudos! I would have found it hard to take out the numbers that had been put on the characters in the original scan. You did a good job vectoring, and I noticed how you changed patters to your advantage. In the previous versions you linked to us, the "girly" one could have been explored a bit more. You're right in thinking it's too simple, but perhaps a smaller version of the pattern repeated more often? And white on black instead of black on white? I don't know... ^_^;; I like how you landed on this version, though. I think it's the best adaptation of this scan I've seen so far!

You could do a black bg version of this wall, the first version was messy but at least is wasn't so whiteA fine Bleach wall...! The one you submitted here looks nice, but I prefer your first version. I don't know why it looked messy to you, but to me, it's better. Choosing the right background is kinda hard, ey. Anyway, great effort!~Great wallpaper.

A very vibrantly-coloured wallpaper - I like what you did with the scan :) Still find the words a bit messy but I think it looks 'cleaner' here compared to your original version #1.

the vectoring is so clean, it amazes me. also, the background fits the bleach style in a pretty convincing way.
