Hello there! =) I started this wall in August, 2008, so it's a pretty old one. Of course it didn't took almost 2 years to make it, i just got bored of it after a few days/weeks of work. It's reasonable tho, most of it was drawn with a sketchpad (not vectored), so it was incredibly time consuming to work on it, but I found it the other day and i thought why not finish it. The wallpaper tries to reflect the style of the old japanese woodblocks, meshed together with modern graffiti-like style. It was mainly inspired by Hokusai's works tho. Hope you like it :)

Wow, really nice!

Lovely, just lovely. I'm no wood-block print fanatic myself, but this really caught my eye. Not only does it fit the anime's theme very well, it looks bad-ass too - and like I said this ain't my cup of tea, but you have my approval!

Really nice clean details and set colours - simple yet so cool XD +

I'm still amazed on your artistic skill, your compositions are always so damn flawless. The fact that this is not vector is even more amazing o_O Great job dude, hope to see more from you here every now and then, for a while I feared you would have stopped posting walls on AP.

Wow, this wall is so simple and yet so sharp and full of stuff. Even though there's a lot of empty space, there's so much going on! The vectoring work is awesome, and I'd have loved to see the original scans too.

Oh man oh man dual screen! It's like you knew you broke my heart when your last was only 1920x1200. XD
Love the mix of styles here, especially in the colouring of the tree trunk. Also digging the limited palette, it works well here. This is ace. :D

Long time to see you. I'm glad you finished this. This is great! I like it very much! :)

I'm going to be frank right now. I can't decided which series I'm tired of seeing wallpapers from. Between this series, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yūutsu, Touhou, Vocaloids and Fate/Stay Night, I can't decide which category I'd love to see thrown in a well and never hear from again. It's not that I hate them, but rather tired of seeing them when there is so much other content out there to work from. At least I thought I felt that way. I saw your wallpaper and it smacked me in the face because I realized that someone could take an overly crowded series and make it fresh and exciting. Even then, those words don't do this wallpaper justice.
It wouldn't be Samurai Champloo without focusing on Mugen, Jin and Fuu. Each of them brought a fantastic element to the series that just wouldn't of been nearly as great had one of them not been in it. The subtle use of red into each of the character's outfits was brilliant and they have such a stunning look to them as well.
Now this could get wordy. I'm not too familiar with the former style, but I can definitely feel the influence of graffiti in this wallpaper and in a very big way. By combining both elements, you didn't favor one in place of the other, but rather brought about a nice merger of the two all the while combining the very atmosphere and scenery of the television series. I don't know what it is, but there is just something about that tannish/peach combined with that beautiful red that just sends shivers up and down my spine. In only the best way, mind you. Keeping it in the center of the wallpaper was brilliant and well balanced, so it doesn't consume everything.
I could of probably spent longer going on about how I loved what you did with the background, how I found to birds to be random, but awesome and how everything comes together so nicely with such a varied color pallet. I've seen quite a few great wallpapers from you, but I dare say that this is by far the finest piece I have seen from you. I'm so very glad that you not only decided to revisit this and finish it, but also to share it with the rest of us. Absolutely breath-taking and now I have a strong desire to re-watch Samurai Champloo.

I love how you managed to combine Japanese art with hints of the hip hop culture that is so important in Samurai Champloo, here represented by the graffiti art Also have to compliment your technique since your vectors are always clean and nicely detailed It's interesting to look at color wise, kudos on that since it's a color palette I would never have thought worked so well Really don't know what to say about the composition, it just works wonderfully.

Very great! :D I loved the style of the wall, combining the scene of the moutains with some abstract things. It combine perfectly, and the colors that you used give the final touch to it. Is perfect! ♥ Desktopped now! ^.^v
+fav!

Love how your walls always pops pops pops XD Fantastic design work! If I had to really nitpick, would just point out that Mugen and Jin seem to be grounded but floating, if that makes any sense? Whereas Fuu's pose is perfect for the designs, so I'd be curious to see what a Fuu-only version of the wall looks like XD
But in all seriousness, the design work rocks. Thanks for sharing < 3

This is so amazing! I thought for sure it was vectored but when I found out no I just couldn't believe it. The lines are so smooth and the picture is lovely and graphically well designed. My only critique which comes from personal taste is that there's not enough colour. I could see you doing a lot here colour wise, and typically I don't like to stare at white bgs =(... But anyway really awesome use of creativity and skill +fav here

Aside from color/style combination, that makes it so stylish and compatible with Samurai Champloo, having Fuu in middle makes this wall so chearful xD
And those trees and pagodas look even cooler than characters XD

Samurai Champloo is one of my favourites anime and this vector wallpaper is my favourite wallpaper of all.
Really awesome the presentation, colors and Japanese background. Maybe a blue color in Jin but I don't know... an option.
