Another grunge/scenic wallpaper XP

I've been wanting to make a Tsuiokuhen wallpaper for a long time [it's my favourite anime] but whatever I began ended up a disaster.....for my tastes at least

I found the scan here.......spent an hour or so cleaning it

Anywayz, the wallpaper was quite simple though it took a bit of time to make [5-6 hours]. The mountains/sea were generated using Terragen [I hope to get a hang of this sometime >.<] and the rest are brushes [from www.strangeangels.net .....have I mentioned how much I love this site? XD]

Then I tried using different textures 'till I got what you see.

Hope you like it :)

UPDATE: I tried using colours and I guess it turned out better than before....thnx for the recommendation ppl ^^ I also removed the scar......I remebered I had flipped the scan while I was writting an exam a few hours ago XD

UPDATE 2: Decided to make it a sunset scene......I used a picture I had taken a few months ago.....

well its nice, but could use a little something the sepia effect somehow kills all the detail, not to mention the colors something should compensate that to make the wall lively and exciting again decent work anyhow

changing it to color makes it pop so much more, i like the texture and everything and overall it's a nice job, too much birds I think though and maybe the grass sticks out a bit too much, maybe if it was blended with a a bit more green or brown shades. Those are minor but regardless of that it's a really peacefull kenshin wall, great job!

nice wp. i think you did a pretty good job. the scan is alittle too blurry but not so much that i wouldn't download the wp. i think there could've been abit more detail in the "valley". i know it's supposed to be misty but there's just a bit too much empty space. maybe reposition the text? anyways, super awesome wp :)

The thumbnail instantly catches my attention. But at full view, there are lot of things need fixing.. the background is too blurred out. Kenshin looks sharp, but the bluriness of the background separates him from it. You mentioned that you made the bg using Terragen.. I think the result should already be sharper. To match the terragen render result with the anime style, you can use 'cutout' filter, or 'median' filter, and since you used a texture, it would look much better compared to using excessive gaussian blur. And I think the birds are too much... lol... try randomizing the placement, or reducing the number. Great concept, but the execution can be better. And.. is it me, or Kenshin isn't properly extracted? There are small, white areas, either caused by that, or by somekind of outer glow... most noticeably in his hair.

wow I absolutely LOVE the texture on the bkg - just little picky notes: the grass looks a bit awkward and the image could've been cropped/cleaned to perfection :)

i don't know what it looked like before, but this final result is amazing, the scenery is like a painting, the texture fits really well, i also like the varied colors in the grass and the sunset is awesome, kenshin fits into it perfectly too

Good use of texture here I see, well done, but the only thing I do not like is that character is at the left, I have to move my icons right instead. XD The rest is all good, kinda blurry on the character's side, the background saved the whole wall by making it more like a canvas piece.

just stunning. within seconds of seeing it i though....must have. in ways it it reminds me of 'the last samuri' movie at the beginning where the samuri is meditating on the top of big hill\mountain. Nice use of colour on the horizon and its good to see the use of the original kenshin instead of the dodgy series version of kenshin

This wallpaper seems to be very simple and clean, but from the many changes you made, it appears to be harder than it looks. The character doesn't seem to fit the background. The extraction of the scan is good. The character seems to pop up too much. Very relaxing set of red, orange, and yellow. Keep the work and effort up, nighteyes-gr!

OH, this is gorgeous! It caught my eye from the thumbnail, and it didn't disappoint me upon closing up. I absolutely love the serene, desolate feeling and the light. Beautiful work.

Great job! I like the colors you used in the sunset. They compliment kenshin well, yet don't exactly blend in with him. Also, it seems as if Kenshin is standing on the edge of a cliff or something, and that he's high up and such. I really like that.

I am definitely a sucker for these types of wallpapers. The background of the wall is beautiful. Don't know about this, but to me the reflections from the water are a bit too strong.

The scenery behind Kenshin looks fantastic.It gives a feeling of a place that you'd always like to go.At least,me I'd like to be in the position of Kenshin!! However,Kenshin seems to need a bit more blending with the whole pic.He seems very sharp in contrast with the image behind. Very good wall overall - one of my favorites - since I'm a sucker for this type of walls!!

This one is quiet good but I think that the mirror effect is a bad idea Because the kenshin's sword are in the wrong side (right to left)

Ahhh this is a great wall! My only two problems with it are, the blurrieness, and the fact that... it seems like the ends of kenshins swords are missing, the sheaths... seem to be cut in half =/ But at any rate, great wall! The sky is absolutely beautiful and the colors are magnificent!

Very nice - the way you blended the colors together is excellent, as is the fabric-like texture of the piece. Kenshin looks very serious and calm, as if he's hovering on the edge of sadness or anger. The multitude of birds, colorful sunset, and browning grass give the whole piece a sense of 'coming to the end.' A beautiful piece - restful and just a bit sad.
