When I finished reading the manga of Akira I loved it. At first I made some icons, and while searching for images I saw this scan that I really wanted to make a wallpaper from it. This is the result.
I colored the scan, put then some effects of light, some brushes here and there and finally the text that is a quote from the manga.
This is the original scan i used:http://img175.imageshack.us/my.php?image=akira3p276p277cx3.jpg
Hope everyone like it and leave a coment.

its a very lovely piece, aside from the fact that I don't see so much of Akira these days, as that anime is considered classic, your wall brings back all those memories.
and wait! your wall is very allegorical. i like the literal, and underlying concept that this one has, its making me think actually. good work.

Well, I'll have to start by saying that you've made a good decision in making an Akira wallpaper. Not too many people do. Anyways, I like the them and concept behind this wallpaper, but I think it could have been designed a little better. The wallaper seems a little plain and there seems to be too much negative space here. There doesn't really seem to be a balance between the characters and the background. Also, the text isn't too fitting of the rest of the wallpaper. It stands out too much. I don't really think that the poem there was supposed to be the entire focus of the piece, so maybe keep that in mind when designing anothe wallpaper. Otherwise, the scans for the figures in the foreground look [b]extremely[b] good. I really like the sketchy / gruungy look to both characters. If only a background of the same concept could have been applied, I think this would have been an absolutely stunning wallpaper. Keep it up! The more you work the better you get.

Good work on catching a seminal moment of the manga. I often find that People gravitate to much to the anime when the manga is so much richer in terms of story and meaning. Bravo for bringing it out.

I like the simpleness of this wall. It's clean and the picture is nice. The word AKIRA is nice addition on the background and the shadows are done pretty good. As a sceneary type wall, I think the picture is nice and the quote is really good for the wall itself.

Very nice. The lightening effect is consistence with the movement of the image, and adds nicely to it. It's nice to find wallpapers that are not only arranged in an attractive way, but that also shown a significance to the series, as this does.
Great work.

At first, I thought it was a bit grainy. But as soon as I read the caption, I was in-love.
I am definitely a man who can appreciate wise words. It's such a humbling phrase.
I love it.
The concept is very interesting too. I am not too sure about time travel, or whatever may have happened at the end of the movie, but I probably should read the manga to find out.
The light effects you used were very modest as well. To me, this piece says, "the end of one day begins another" and I think that reflects the notion of those words.
Where are they from if you don't mind me asking?
Awesome.

I love the concept of this wallpaper, it's so simple yet utterly profound. The lighting effect is good the simplistic background is perfect. Thank you for giving me a wall for this great manga.

Ohhh, very very good; the colors that you have choice are correct...sorry but I don´t like the font, maybe some "futuristic font" in a dark red color. You should have haved many hours to obtain this cool wall, my felicitations.

Tetsuo and akira the bigest psyco!

The "we need to talk" look on Tetsuo's faec after what he chewed through to get to Akira truly sets the mood for this wallpaper. Excellent.

Akira wallpaper on its own is a good thing, always bring forth a feeling of nostalgia. Great work.

needs a bit more to it, and better scans and editing. It's a great concept, though!

I really like what you did with this scan. It's like it's saying "bottom line, this is cool" The effects you put on this pic make it pretty awesome and really brings out the scene like this and the quote is just a nice piece to it. Overall, very awesome pic
