The War of Attrition Continues
I wanted to show a simple black and white / grayscale wall of Naruto and his best friend / arch-rival, Sasuke. Overall, the gist of this wall is that the war of this two characters, everything is as clear as black and white. Naruto was once deemed as the abomination of his village, hated and feared, but eventually he would be redeemed and be called his village’s savior. Sasuke on the other hand, was one of Konoha’s finest. Amidst the facade of talent and skill, the hatred he harbors runs deep. He would eventually be hunted down by his village and despised as an opposer. Now, I’ll run through the details of the wall.
CHARACTERS: I made the characters by combining two different images. Naruto’s came from a dvd cover I saw online. Sasuke’s taken from a chapter cover of the manga. I had to do some manipulation to balance the shadowing of the two (Sasuke originally had little shadow). More manipulating was also done to make their hands “meet” (Sasuke’s hand originally appeared going to the right and Naruto’s hand had a shallower angle). Another important point in the wall are the eyes. They convey a lot of emotion between the two characters. Simply putting them in B&W will not do the wall justice. The red patch around Naruto’s eye has to stay, as it is the symbol of his attainment of Sennin. This goes, as well, to the blood coming from Sasuke, as it conveys his acquisition of the Mangekyou Sharingan. I desaturated them a little too, as the early version was too bright. These are their best weapons yet. I motion blurred their hands to put some action and intensity.
BACKGROUND: The background was vectored, based on Tens’ advise, from stock photos of bamboo forests as well as leaves. I put them in decreasing layers and opacity to make it look like it was vast. I also put a black to white gradient to make the forest look ominous. The original style for the forest was based on Nysha’s original work seen in Deviantart.
TEXT: Full credit to the text goes to Horseradish! I like the blood splatter effect.
Whew, that was long. Many thanks to Tens, Nysha, and Horseradish for their advise. Please feel free to critique. I'd like to know your opinion :)

YAYZ! You submitted it! <3
Sabi na nga ba ee! Kaya nagtaka ako nung mawala ito sa SZ. Great job! Now, I can ++FAVE it. (XD) Everything looks great! I love how you blurred some parts of the weapon and their hands to make it look like as if they're in motion. ^^v Another great monochrome wall. I love the whole scene. The rendering of the scans is FANTASTIC the way you merged them together.
I hope I'm first to comment! XD

Good to see you've submitted this wall! Like Horseradish says...I can finally fave it :)
Background is very much improved from the version in Sessions, two thumbs up!!!

Wow o-O great work. I like the bluriness - it seems as if it was motion blur. And the text seems to fit as well - at least better than those I saw on SZ.
I somehow thought that I already downloaded this very wallpaper - and then it got removed.. but I think it was just me thinking .. or I got some SZ-version... anyway: this is definitely the best version of the wallpaper :). Good work on it!

I like this one better than the 1st one you did.
But who drew 1st blood?! Is it Sasuke who has blood dripping out his eye? If it wasn't a result of an injury and he cried on his own accord then he drew 1st blood. Or did Naruto poke Sasuke in the eyeball causing an injury which resulted in a bleed?

I saw this on SZ. I'm glad you submited it! the text looks a lot better and nice blur effect and background design is just perfect^^ +fav

Crazy.
Thought I submitted my comment already but AP says otherwise lol. I must have accidentally closed the tab. I usually take my time building on my comments.
It was fun seeing this wallpaper transform. It reminds me back when I submitted a wallpaper in SZ. I am glad you decided to change the text. It looks so much better now and it suits the wallpaper more. :)
The bamboo shoots fading into the background adds a sense of depth. That the two are surrounded in a throng of bamboo shoots. The fading background contrasts well with the characters. It feels as if a spotlight was following them to highlight their battle.

Wow, excellent. Naruto's eyes look a little weird with the colors you decided to bring out, but otherwise I can't complain. I especially like the slight blur filters to give the illusion of motion. Overall, a fairly top quality wall. The only advice I would give is usually b&w walls with some color only use one other color, you have some red, green, and maybe a little orange in there. Since the text is red, I would only use red. Sasuke's eyes are already red which is good, but I would take out the current red/orange on Naruto's eyes, leave that b&w, and change the green to red. It might give an evil look about him, but the colors will match and the wall itself has a "evil" plot anyways. Good job though, I was picky on one element (and had a lot to flap my gab about), but everything else looks awesome.

Amazing yet very simple concept. However my only problem with this is that the sage eyes for naruto dont seem to blend well with the wallpaper. Perhaps darken or shade in the colour. But i love the sage eyes to sharingan beautiful

I just can't stop lovin these black-and-white images. I liked the way you handled the back landscape, because it all looks like the same image. Also the perspective of the characters and the title letters, I loved them. The combination of black and white, and also the texture of the image is superb. One of the things I liked the most is the way they are looking at each oter,as if they were in the same image all along.The same happens with their weapons,because they meet in a very normal way,as if it were the actual pose of the two characters. Indeed a nice job and a good way of combining two character images to manage an even better one. Liked it a lot and gets my congratulations as expected ^^ Keep it up,it´s a great image and surely you can do even grater ones =)

Very cool wallpaper. Two main characters in one image and total opposites of one another. I love the selective coloring in this wallpaper. As for the question of who draws first blood, it's pretty obvious. The color red makes it that more appealing and the contrast of black and white makes it looks very cool. Nice job overall.

I really like how u don't overuse the color to make it POP. With the black and white scale, the wall is nicely done. Even though u use colors, u don't use it just for the sake of making the wall to be "notice". Ah I don't know how to say it that well. But the intensity of the black/white scales and the colors on their eyes/outers is perfectly done. Kudos for the title. I really really like this wall alone. Thanks for the hard work!
