ok so, the idea was pretty simple, in cowboy bebop it was explained that both Spike and Vicious were pretty much the only people who could kill each other, meaning ( for me ) that they were immortal, not in a very literal sense, more like one was destined to kill the other and nobody would get in the way of that. This is when the anime kicked into "OMG" gear, and took off ( for me ). So i thought i would try and relate that onto a wall. I really like listening to songs when a work on a wall, as i'm sure everyone does, and i just so happened to be listening to "ACDC's - Back in Black", which, funny enough is about a guy who would never die, hence the title. Anyway i wanted to play on a negative and positive point of view, thats why i chose the colours i chose, because the colours are cold and depressing, but, the message is not ( pos & neg ) niether are the flowers and all the "life" around spike, but the city in the bg is dark and lifeless.
I really enjoyed making this wall and i hope you enjoy viewing it.
edit note - changed text + removed some leaves from trees
ok thank u <-_->

I certainly enjoy view your wall as it's a clean vector, high quality and nice concept. As always in vector works as this, there are some minor things you could have done different ('gaps' in the trees, are a bit too tiny imo), but overall, it's highly detailed and finished with care. Good job.
6 years, 8 months ago
hmm the tumb looked awesome but the fuw full i found a bit disappointing. loved the spike vector and stuff, but i found the tekst to non-fitting (stupid blend effects ><) furthermore some stuff was a bit simple and all. Good job non-the-less keep it up ^^
6 years, 8 months ago
i would have liked to see more black parts on spike xD but that's minor the text could have been worked on more i see some jagged edges but maybe that's becoz of the embossing but all in all a really sweet wall :D
spike FTW xD
6 years, 8 months ago
It's an unusual piece to say the least. With some flaws in it. they are minor though...the font and jaggies as tate mentioned. The composition is interesting and eye-catching though...nice one
6 years, 8 months ago
I have to agree with the people who commented before me. It actually reminds me of an Album Cover, very musically stimulating, like Jazz XD which is an element of Bebop. [the anime title speaks for itself].
one word dude.
sweet!, and no, not the sweet teenybopper type, i meant sweet the awesome time.
6 years, 8 months ago
Nice! I love the idea and the style of the picture! I do agree with some of the posters above that Spike's vector could do with a bit more black, but that's not really that much of a problem. And I also think that the text should be flat. But otherwise, great wall! Thanks for sharing!
6 years, 8 months ago
I would just like to say that I love how you keep tying in your wallpapers to songs. And as heavily influenced by music as Cowboy Bebop is, it is even more fitting. Great work.

6 years, 8 months ago
Nice one! I totally love the background! The concept is nice and the composition are great!
6 years, 8 months ago
That's a very nice wallpaper! I liked the concept you explained and loved the vector you did on the wallpaper (except the vector of the flowers =_=) The rest is really nice! However, I think that you can more a little bit more on the text (especially the font) Other than that, that's a nice wallpaper! Keep up the hard work ^_^
6 years, 8 months ago
Woow this is a fav.I like the abstractness.The black and white looks really awesome. So is Spike.He's cool.Love the font and the effect of the title.The BG of the city is so gothic. I would definitely have this as my desktop.
+favs for sure.
6 years, 8 months ago
very kool. although i woulda liked to see an simple thin outline around spike
6 years, 8 months ago
Uwaaah the idea is soo absolutely sweet but I agree with Beckor that I was somewhat disappointed with the full size quality given the thumbnail looks so awesome.
Spike's vector looks like auto-traced looking at the amount of details lost. Same goes with the tree leaves, looks almost lazy. Embossed text doesn't work, flat would've worked better imo. The abstract clouds and stuff at the bottom is good though could use tidying up at some parts.
I loved how you came up with the concept - design and story nicely connected. Definitely enjoyed reading your description about it - just really really wished the execution and quality were better.

It's lookin' really good. I would have liked a bit more detail in spike, and the text is decent at best.
However, I will say that I love the composition in this one, and I like how it all kind of falls together. The flowers in the center are a little strong, and it gives me a hard time to focus in the center, but all in all, I like it!
Good job. ^_^

I like how you put the trees and flowers around Spike. It looks like he's the life in the middle of the dead, black city. I don't like the font (especially the 8-ish b's), but that's just me, probably. Also, I think Spike would look better with more black since he's a character with a dark past.
6 years, 7 months ago
Wow nice done, tho those trees =3 but is a nice wallpaper! ^^b

There's something about this wall that takes me back to when I watched this anime *for the first time* it's definetly one of my favorite anime's *even if it ended sadly (though it was a good ending..I just cried like no other ;-; )* Well anyways I love the way you executed it it looks very nice and I like the whole design in general :3. *adding to the favs* ^^

You've definetly created an interesting wallpaper here. It has the classic Cowboy Bebop feel to it with a slightly modern twist. It incorporates what kinda looks like live trace with a black and white / grafitti style city skyline. It's defintly well designed. I don't think that there's anything I could possibly make a correction comment about. I find it to be a flawless work of art. I give it two thumbs WAY up! Keep at these kind of wallpapers. I definetly enjoy seeing and downloading these kinds of stlyes of wallpapers.

yeah, i like how clean it is. The trees in the middle was kinda nice to see in a wall in Cowboy Bebop. The vectoring of the whole wallpaper is really great especially the style on the character is looking real good in the wall. The colors are quite nice, bright and good color combination.
6 years, 7 months ago
WOW! one of the best Cowboy Bebop walls I've seen so far. It is great in that you chose the places to color black/white well. The back does give off a despairing mood but seeing Spike and the quote on the bottom makes it look really cool! I wouldn't dare change anything on this wall. Greaat job!!! +fav
6 years, 7 months ago
O___0 I would love it so much if I could just say "OmigoshIloveit!" and leave it at that, but I know that's just lame! lol. -o-;
But really, I'm quite speechless! It's got such a flare and clean refreshing look that I'm bombarded with all these wonderful things to say and I lose them 2 seconds later cuz I can't type fast enough! @_@ LOL- Well, for starters the dramatic blacks and whites style really fits well ^^ I adore that kind of strong, simple, way of presenting an image. And your use of circles is fantastic! :D The curves and bold lines stroon (neatly) across the wall is really eye catching and a pleasure to look over. Then you have all those little inbetweens that just draw it all together and make Spike just look awesome =^^= I would not mind having this as my desktop at all! ^____^
[insert the rest of the brilliant things I forgot to comment about here]
6 years, 7 months ago

6 years, 7 months ago
Personally I'm not a fan of the whole "Minimalistic" style of wallpaper, and this paper is no exception. It doesn't feel bebop inspired at all, it feels like Spike is there for no specific reason whatsoever. I'm going to have to give this wall a thumbs down, but please continue walling.
6 years, 7 months ago
I'm a great fan of CowBoy Bebop. And this wall makes an honnor to one of my favorites animes.

I love the design. Sure they are over used sometimes. But your use is accepted. What I find intriguing is that you went to make both sides same. It just balances out. Not too much on the left. Not too much on the right. Perfect balance. Lovely my friend. Lovely ;)

6 years, 7 months ago
I really like this wallpaper because of the Back in black theme. Though the font could have been better.
6 years, 7 months ago
Now this is a nice wallpaper. The thing I like the most is how simple the wallpaper is. It doesnt have alot of colors wildly everywhere but at the same time it has a look and feel all it's own that makes it stick out in a crowd you could say. I love the city in the background. It looks great how you made the city and then the trees behind the city.
The cloud pattern is cool as well. I really like how you made a kind of refelction under the city. The pattern under the man is complicated but I like it. Even though the colo and concept is simple I can tell that you spent alot of time on the image, and in the end it payed off because I think this is the best Coy Boy Beebop wallpaper I have seen so far.
6 years, 7 months ago
very nicely done, i love the style of this and the use of positive and negative space

The black and white is totally classic. Its got this new contemporary look yet its so Bebop. I love it! The background is killer and goes great with the image you chose. Great Job!

6 years, 6 months ago
I agree with everyone who says the like the clean, sharp look of the wall. The contrast between Spike and the city is very nice and I understand where you're coming from with the description. Since one had to kill the other, no one could kill them, except ... although they both have their close calls.

Thanks for commenting everyone, I see what is meant about the smoke and splotches. The splotches part is poor I admit, the smoke was slightly more thought through although with hindsight I think I would have to agree that it also could do with being smoother. I currently have a big smile on my face; I really thought that it was going to be much worse. Right suppose that I had better get on and do some work. Keep the comments coming :)
