Ah, my first submission after years as a member. Anyway, this COULD be the first installment of my 'Date With' wallpaper series for Saiyuki. Recently, I noticed how I couldn't really find a nice, light-ish wallpaper for Saiyuki. So, out of sheer frustration, I decided to make my own. And I thought, why stop there? And decided to do it for the whole Ikkou. So anyway, I got the image from a scan of Salty-Dog IV and well, since it was so bright, I decided to have Sanzo eat pie at some high location. Hence, my end product of him eating pie on a hill. I had so much trouble with the grass and the distant hills. Most of this wallpaper was filled with filters and I had to polygano lasso the mountains into existence. The almost-too-little-to-see forest was brushed into place, along with the grass on the top of the green hills. So if they seem out of place, that's probably the reason why. I was considering leaving the lens effect out, but I figured that having it there seems to make the wallpaper brighter. I had two options for the clouds but I decided to go with this one since, well, it made the wallpaper brighter! In the end, we have an uncharacteristically bright Sanzo wallpaper. But well, it's a 'date' after all...

awww.... its sanzo... I look forward to the series and other ikkou (I'll wait for the Goku one ♥)
By the way, this is a nice wallpaper... the clouds looks fine, though I find the mountains and the grass a bit odd for the colored sanzo illustration... but it looks nice (and I hope you make a bigger resolution for the others)

I know right?! About the grass and the mountains. They took me the whole morning to do. YES! A GOKU FAN! May Goku-biasedness live! BANZAI! What's the screen resolution that you would like? I'll take note of it when I make the others.
