Hi there!
My new wallie! o Finally it's done! It was inspired by Nysha's Vindicator. As soon as I saw her wall I started watching Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan. Then I saw this scan and realized that I wanted to wall this badass bishie! So..I've been doing it for about 2 months... erm..it's not the exact truth..from time to time I was lazy and did nothing x)
Tools: PS CS5 mouse ( died during the walling x.x) tablet (hooray! I bought a tablet!...poor mouse..RIP т.т)
I vectored & painted the scan + used some self-made textures.
Enjoy!)
Update
I changed his placement and slightly intensified the light.

Nice, clean and stylish vectors, I love the simplicity and the texture you used! Good job! I hope to see your other arts here on AP too ^^

Ooh, nice and bloody bishie....I like the colors and the way you painted everything, looks so vivid. I think the light source from the right could be a bit stronger (I'm guessing it's the moonlight?) judging from the way the character is illuminated but overall, this is very delicious. The blood is yummy. XD

Yay for Hijikata! Love this wall. <3 I love the darkness and simplicity of it. Nice job with the vector as well. +fav!

Congratulations on your first wallpaper! It is certainly one to be proud of.
I've always been a fan of walls that keep close or exact to the original scan, and yours was definitely a pleasant find.
Its clean, precise and well executed in the self textures and colors. Anyone who full views it is in for a treat =).

Ohohoho I see what you did thar. >D Even the sig is in the same style as mine. XD Flattered you were inspired by my wall. You've done a really nice job - the vector is nice and clean and it has some great patterns. I think he's placed a bit too far on the left side though - move him over to the right a bit so his face is placed more on the left third to balance the composition more. The cloth hanging down past the left edge of the wall can easily be extended in this case. I also agree about the light source - it can be stronger to make the image more dramatic too. :3

Yeah...I just copied that stuff...I'm too lazy =] Well, as to his placement, at the beginning I wanted to place him more to the right, but then I remembered my desktop and the amount of icons on it >.< so I decided to leave some place for them :3
Overall, thanks for the comment.

In the darkness, his shinning blade is generating death and blood. Colors and vector in the wallpaper are really clean and cool. They are drawing the warrior's dangerous character very well.

awesome wall, nice to see a simple bg there :D I agree with Nysha about moving him a bit to the right. other than that, this is a nice piece. +fav

I really like this one, but the right side brightness of the jacket embroidery seems strange to me. That is my only down side comment. That is a nice wallpaper and I hope my first wallpaper is as attractive.

This is absolutely LOVELY. The colors are smooth and vibrant. Painting looks really amazing. Texture and patterns used are blending beautifully too. Even though the BG is plain, I like it because it makes the character stand out. Oh, I also agree about the lighting. ^^v Other than that, great job on this one. XD

Nice work - clean vector and painted details as mentioned before the light source needs to be stronger but over than that good job on this wall. +fav

Oh dear goodness; his clothes are amazing! I do think that in contrast the cloak and scarf seem very smooth and un-detailed, especially the white and brighter parts. There seems to be a texture on them, but I'm not sure, so maybe you could enhance that a bit more. Wonderful work either way though. Thanks for sharing. :)

wow this is very nice and well done, i would suggest, the yellow piece from the jacket is not very well blended with it, i think is because the texture and shadow are well done and i feel the difference between those parts, but it just a little thing. The character would be better if is a bit to the right part. I love how you did the light on his hair and face, is just beautiful as the work on his clothes, amazing!

gurll, this is hot stuff.
Love the flowers on his clothing, is such a beautiful touch and they are so well done!
I'm actually very jealous at your vectoring/painting skills, they have improved so much that's unbelievable. I can't wait for your next wallpaper!

Nice! Thanks for the revision! He's more "in" the picture now instead of hugging the edge. lol It's more balanced this way and more windows friendly for icons on the left side. Using it now! Had to crop it to fit on my 1080p monitor though. :3
