Please view large version, you can't see well the text in the preview, tnx
This is only an experiment. I made this wall because I see a wonderful tutorial to replace the image with text. After 3-4 hours this is the final result. I hope you like it.

Wow what a creative Idea!! I like it, I think, it's not simple to do that. You had used all this space to your left side, but, may be you want to give more attention to the character, A little dirty, good. good chaos. the brown color...I would remove it, (but is just my choice).. even!! I like!! impresive really!! good job.

wow this is really cool, and idea is really awesome mind if i see original scan?

At fullview, it seems flatter than the thumbnail. Perhaps more subtle differences in color or something...
I love how you just sprinkled all the communities you're uploading this into at the bottom LOL.

Wuow, cool! I have been wanting to do something like this but I'm too lazy BD. But I see it only took you 3-4 hours! Even though you asked us to look at the large version, I prefer the thumbnail. This type of art is meant to be looked at from far away, or it will be hard to tell what's what, hehe. His face is nice and clear though. I really like it XD
Fav!

wow this is too cool for words! your awesome!

I like this wall a lot! It really caught my eye, I think the effect achieved is very good since at first it reminded of calligraphy(?) art and it's very original.
3 years, 8 months ago
Oh snap i recognised it as soon as i saw the thumbnail one of the best manga everrrr!! very nice idea with the typography
3 years, 8 months ago
Full-viewing to see the details did work, but to see the thing as a whole, I prefer the thumbnail. It's a clearer to see the face and his whole body. Oh, and I like how you put your signature included in the text body.
Nice one!~

WOW! This is truly amazing! I love it and what more fitting of a series to do this to than Blade of the Immortal? I can't imagine how long it took to do this. Fav'd and sav'd!

Nicely done!

I. Love. This. Wallpaper!
So original! This is really good! I love the title text finishing it off in the corner! Great gradients and lovely font picks. This is my favorite wallpaper this month!

Wow, great wall Hiei! Very creative, Manji's crazy face is even crazier with the text written all over! Colours are nice, too. +fav!

Your concept in the wallpaper is really unique and creative. It's creating tough hallucination of the immortal warrior.
3 years, 8 months ago
The result is more than satisfying. Immediate fav from me ;)

lol, great work, i didn't see many wallpapers of this manga and this is really good. Thx.
3 years, 8 months ago
It's a good concept. The only thing bringing it down are the shameless URLs in the middle of the wallpaper. It's distracting to the point that I don't want it on my desktop.
3 years, 8 months ago
Wow,this is the coolest wall I've seen lately,makes me wanna use that tutorial as well haha xD +fav
3 years, 8 months ago
Such a cool wall! i really like the design, replacing the image with text great work +

Oh man, this is so cool! The colors are fantastic and the effect is awesome. Nicely done!
3 years, 8 months ago
WOW! It looks amazing, so complex and simple at the same time! Very impressed! +fav
3 years, 8 months ago
Definitely a good experiment!! Very cool to look at, although I think it looked better before I zoomed in and saw the text >_< I didn't like the font of the text, so maybe it's just me.
I enjoy this kind of minimalist style -- be sure to try it again in the future!

This is amazing, and I love that you used Kafka's "Metamorphosis" as the base text layer. You get extra props for that.
3 years, 8 months ago
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! Thanks for giving the link to the tutorial!
3 years, 8 months ago
This is seriously amazing. I absolutely love this manga. There aren't enough Blade of the Immortal walls if you ask me.
3 years, 8 months ago
Hoooooooly daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayum @_@
to say that this is awesome is... an understatement!
im fiddling around with text too so I guess that's why this caught my attention... actually its like screaming "Oi, you there... check this out!"
lol
Seriously speaking... this is one AWESOME piece of work.
FAV++!!!!

great... it's great! nothing more to say!

I knew there was something fishy about the raspiness of the thumbnail I'm not sure what to call this technique by; it's like vectoring by text but not quite vectoring or typography... Either way I this makes for a very smart way to stamp sigs onto wallpapers xD Some of the text like 'immortal' and 'manji' look like bits of tape that were stuck there without much thought though.. maybe it would be cooler if you'd skewed them to fit the surfaces/contours of the character -- defines the figure more, for us with lower IQ/visual recognition xD It's no biggie though; the flatness actually suits the woodblock print feel of it all ^^

sick, gj man. fav

Oh my God, this is amazing. There are a ton of ways this concept could have gone wrong, but you made it work so well. I love the way the text changes color a bit, but it's only noticeable enough to add some depth to the picture. Just beautiful.
3 years, 8 months ago
I really like it! It's an original idea an you pulled it off nicely. I like the way you resized and walled only a part of the scan. Great color and nice choice on the plain BG. Excelent wall. + Fav
3 years, 8 months ago
Interesting idea. You did good. Thanks for the tut.
3 years, 8 months ago
Powerful. Love the concept, fits super well with the more mature theme of this manga. The subtle color gradient is also great.
3 years, 8 months ago
Wow what a creative idea =D I like to see original walls . Awesome work , you are so talented~ =)
3 years, 8 months ago

Really great, I personally love typography and have been reading Blade of the Immortal for many years -- you really nailed the image. Lots of room for desktop 'clutter', and still have a clear image. Thanks!

Damn, nicely done xD. I've seen alot of works where they replace the picture with words/objects/ ..., and I have to say, most of those cover it up with flashy colours and stuff, but doing it like this is another way that might be much better. Fav!

This reminds me of a favourite image of mine.
http://www.kneejah.net/images/pics/Text%20Pics/Reservoir%20Dogs.jpg
The background feels a little empty to me but I can't imagine what could possibly go there with the text. Makes the actual image stand out much more dramatically. I saw an Andy Warhol-esque picture of Manji not too long ago. I'm fond of inverting colours. I still like what you've done with the overall shape. Excellent.

...This has just become one of my favorite wallpapers. Now I feel like going to catch up on this manga.

nice!!!!! Thnx for the upload.
2 years, 6 months ago
Your experimental wallpaper is nice.
it's, somehow, strange but very creative.
My suggestion is to use more colors for this character, and why not words with many colors ? For example, a different color for each letter ! It's just an idea, maybe good to try it !
BTW, nice work :)

Absolutely beast wallpaper, one of my fave of all time, pretty much says it all really
