[What? Another update?] For some reason, I had to revisit this wallpaper. I was getting uncomfortable with how dark the previous texture looked, so I'm just giving it a new breath of life here with two alternative brighter ones. I hope it looks even better now :)
[Last ever update] Probably, yes. There now exists a 16:9 version of this wallpaper. I had no idea why I added this to the 16:9 Support Action Group before there was. Hit me if you want ><
[Update...Again!] Minor minor minor update. Basically I just smudged Urahara a bit to make him look more realistic.
[Update!] Some people had commented that Urahara looked too sketchy and that maybe I should do a vector instead. Unfortunately I don't have the time to do a vector at the moment, so I've darkened him up a bit. Hopefully that works better ><).
So I did another "parchment" wallpaper. Only this time round it's "Dampened, textured paper" according to bittered on deviantArt. I'm pretty happy with this one because I think it looks rather realistic. I'm not too sure about you so feel free to criticise if you think it doesn't (XD)
I had a hard time trying to decipher the Kanji in order to type out the words (I couldn't see the furigana clearly in the manga scan I had). So you better appreciate it hurhur...Just kidding (XD) The Chinese words in the "seal" is "Kubo" in Kanji.
The full quote by Urahara is here:
_I'm really...Really disappointed.
Kurosaki...In your sword, all I see is "fear".
When you attack, “I’m afraid of cutting someone”. Even when you try to protect someone; “I’m afraid of letting them die”. Yes, your sword only speaks to me of absurd fear. That’s not it. What’s neccesary in a fight isn’t fear. Nothing can be born from that.
If you dodge, “I won’t let them cut me”. If you protect someone, “I won’t let them die”. If you attack, “I’ll cut them”.
Well can’t you see… … the resolve to cut you reflected in my sword?_
Urahara said that to Ichigo while he was training him. I thought that was kick-ass :)
I know I keep repeating this, but...Thanks for viewing! Do comment if you have any critiques/suggestions! :D
P.S. This is probably the last wall I'll do this year...Got major exams coming up. So my inactivity ranking is probably gonna increase heh. Maybe I'll do celebratory walls when I'm back XD

This wallpaper easily stands out from the gallery. What I like best about this wallpaper is that its perfect to just print out and hang it on the wall.

Very interesting water effect going on! How did you do that? It's intriguing! Very effective japanese style drawing effect! I love that you've managed to create realistic 'bleed through'! Gonna go away and try this out myself! Thanks for uploading! Any tips would be appreciated!

i like that kanji drawing, nice work... what i don't like is that character watercolor style, should be sharp like all that kanji words, but maybe that just me^^

An awesome paper for good ol' Urahara! I love the painted feel to it. My only critique would be that the quotation marks came out a little strange looking in the Japanese script...did you try using the 「」 quotation markers at all?
3 years, 7 months ago
One of the best Urahara wallpaper I've ever seen.
I don't think you need to vector him, the sketchy look is what makes the wall unique.
My only complain is with the english text; it looks kinda out of place compared to the "japanese style" of the rest of the wall.

thanks for this wall, it's very good wall

Whee! Simply love it, great wall. The sketched look gives the wall character, no need the change it :-)

This is a CLASSIC beauty. I feel like it should be on canvas or hand made paper hanging from a scroll on a wall.

Nice wall, but i think that urahara could look a little cleaner. Maybe that's just me...
3 years, 7 months ago
I love the parchment with watercolor style. It makes it look like it could be a scroll from long ago. Unfortunately, darkening Urahara makes the image itself pretty fuzzy and it doesn't match with the text and seal. Maybe vectoring Urahara could fix this problem, since the text looks vectored.

(9+_+) KEWL! its very traditional work of yours... you presented your artwork in a cool nostalgic way... Great concept!

Awesome wallpaper and it is probably one of my favorite quotes from Bleach. Man, Urahara is so bad-ass, yet laid back....geez they really need to put more of him and his fighting skills in Bleach. <3

very nice, really like the whole japanese script feel of the wall

This is great. It does look like watercolor on parchment. Urahara doesn't seem to care if he shaves or not; so sketchiness works for him. The quote of course is as you suggested, bad-ass! Good luck on your exams, thanks for the great wall. Peace.

That's one of my favourite Urahara quotes (hell, one of my favourite Bleach quotes) and you've done a nice job of incorporating it here.
3 years, 6 months ago
The style and concept is very nice indeed, however as others have said uruhara is a bit far too sketchy and seemingly messy. Its great that its a watercolour style, but the splodges around the ink don't fit well. there are too many, and the ink is too dark. It might be nicer if you made it a kind if ink print style, rather than watercolour? (I mean, just leave the dark lines of the linework for uruhara and clean it up, without the watermarkings) Hope to see the newer version soon!

Magnificent! The look of traditional art fits Urahara well. It's my favorite quote from him, too. His expression fits both his quiet power and mystery. I love it!!

uwaah, this is so cool! I like how you did Urahara because it looks like you drew with water color on aquarell paper :3 The text is cool as well, it fits ^^ May I ask for the japanese font's name? ^^

Oh, this one is actually good as A WALLPAPER, not an art project in and of itself. Well-done and interesting! Thanks!

I love the smudged ink effects. It really gives the wall a nice rough look, which differs from a lot of the 'perfect' anime wallpapers usually found on this site :).
