While browsing through AP scans, I found this image of Naruto. I browsed the interweb for various samurai wallpapers and color schemes and ultimately settled on a cloudy (abstract) sun/sunset, a shinto shrine, and mountains. I vectored the shinto gate from a very small low resolution image I found online. I used various shots of drawn mountains and drew my own (trying to keep it simple and slightly cartoonish), and played around with a few renders and filters to make a hazy sunset.
Afterwards, I tried playing around with various grunge and scratch brushes, to dirty up the final image (just slightly). I didn't want to make the background too elaborate or too realistic, so I tried to keep the vectoring from scratch simple and cartoon-like to help blend in with the scan of Naruto.

Love the colors in this as well as the background itself. The whole wall is just warm and really makes me smile. Nice work!

Lovely idea, it's a very original look for a Naruto wallpaper! Nice colors, but the textures seem a little too heavy on this, even with the PNG download. Would have liked to a see a little more detail in the immediate background though, since Naruto seems so elaborate in that getup the background seems emptier in comparison.
And that horse looks mean! o_o
