Hitotsu janai kotae sagashi gamushara ni oikakeru (We relentlessly pursue our search for more than one answer)
Thats the part of the new end theme for Naruto Shippuden 117 that this comes from. I saw this on my computer while watching it and had to take a screen capture. Needless to say this was hard to clean up so I decided to vector it. No custom brushes, no special text.
This wall is straight from the end theme of the show and I thought that it needed a tribute. It didn't take to long to vector using Illustrator cs3. Mostly black and white never takes that long to finish but when adding the color it started to throw me off. Wouldn't you think that this vector only was 3 layers? Well I turned out actually with 45. So had my work cut out for me.
Hope everyone enjoys this, it almost looks like an add for a pepsi/coke commercial. Love it!

You've a nice wallpaper here though your vector lines are so sharp and jagged =/ i would suggest you to use some little gaussian blur so that they'll not look as sharp as they're now , other than that nice wall =)

Wow! I love the concept that you put in this wallpaper.

I had this idea, but you did it before me, and your wall is really nice (I think I'll not make a better wall). Nice job!

Overall, a pretty solid wallpaper. I think you found a nice screen cap to work with, and you put your vectoring skills to good use. The shading and coloring, in particular, are the highlights of the image, in my opinion. One small area that I like especially would be that drop of sweat/water on the face. It's cool how sometimes the small things make a significant impact on an image, and I think that was one of them. It's a bit of a shame that couldn't have been implemented in a few more areas, I think.
The one area I believe that could have been improved on would be the lineart. There are a few loose/unconnected ends, as well as an area on the fingers where a line appears to overlap by a tad. That said, the only real thing I dislike about the lineart would be that it lacks a bit of depth; I think the image as a whole would look even better had you been able to taper the solo lines towards the edges, sorta like what you see with the eyes. I'm not sure what program you're using, but I think it's still a possibility to correct that with the right resources.
Still, there are more I like about this image than I don't like, and that makes this acceptable in my eyes. The theme, character (Sakura lacks enough cool wallpapers, IMO), and the technique all show enough positive qualities, and it looks like you put a respectable deal of effort into this. Therefore, I think you deserve credit for your actions. Well done.

Ha, love the concept. Great job!

I like this a lot! It's just a bit jaggy...
3 years, 10 months ago
The whole idea is nice, but the line art is a bit...it's too even, lacks some 'movement', and it's too sharp. You could blur is a bit. Other than that, i think it's nicely done, i like those b&w wallpaper with just one element in color!

your lines are sharp, which made them jaggy, anyway, nice idea! although a bit dull, but i can understand because you want them to know the "dehydrated" feeling of the wall. good job :)

I would drink it.

It's a very nice wallpaper. You did a great job with the vector, color theme, and use of color...even if it is a copy of an image, you did it with style...well done.
Oh and P.S. : I agree with Catoli...the vector could be a bit less sharp. |(o_o)

Interesting wallpaper (I've never heard of Narutonic before XD). More color instead of just grayscale would have looked better.

I really do enjoy the new ending for the current naruto shippuuden. I like how you captured this scene, and like you said its like a pepsi/coke commercial! Coming from at greatest im assuming a 720p video screen capture, you did a wonderful job vectoring and cleaning this up, awesome work man, and thanks!

Hi, love this one, it is simple, but It's Like i don't really know what exactly you did, and what was there to begin with...but that being said: It's a gripping wallpaper, the shallow depth of field works wonders towards adding an action/epic feel. It also brings some sense of mystery to the wall, and draws attention to then your eyes fall onto the white lines surrounding him... (o_o) I don't know exactly why it's there, and personally, it doesn't work for me.
Overall a very nice wall.

I would totally drink that :D
3 years, 7 months ago
Ahahahahah terrible! I love it!
I would just complain about the marketing of this drink... Narutonic should be an Energy drink better than a can of water ^_^
Could also be a source of Shakkra! :p
Anyway really nice vector!

Narutonic, lol. Already a big plus for this. I quite like walpapers which are vectored for mere screenshot and yours is no exception. I like it really. But... I think you should improve your vectoring technique. You lines are clean but a way too uniform, especially noticable where they end. Also a little touch up for the coloring with a few shadings. Already a little Inner Shadow can it improve dramatically, and will look less flat.
