Kyahaha. The wallpaper that made my hand die~! And I though the Wolf's Rain one I made was bad enough.

So first I vectored and edited black and white manga scan, then I decided I didn't want it so shiny so I painted over bits of it, blurred, and smudged the heck out of Kenshin. When that was all done, I was so sick of staring at it, I abandoned my earlier concept of creating an overhanging brach of sakura and blossoms and just stuck a sky, birds, and some text behind him. I added the breezy hazy/misty effect and textures at the top to add to the UN-shininess of it. I just felt I had to make to picture very rough.

I used textures from Resurgere@devART. This whole thing is about 70 layers in all.

The scene was actually taken from the Kyoto arc, hence the title.

(I actually made this while I was home, suffering from a cold. If there are problems, I blame it!)

By the way, this is the first time I ever completely re-drew/vectored a character - as opposed to just adding bits of missing clothes and elbows to fix scans, so any comments are welcome! Also, part of Kenshin's sword was in the original scan but I took it out as I was uncertain exactly what material his hilt was made out of O_O. (What an odd reason, huh?)

Kenshin's there, but not there. I really like the colour scheme and the overall softness, but your original idea also sounds nice!

The dull sunset seems to emphasize Kenshin's mixed feelings at the time. Nonetheless, even if the colors are not as bright, they're still intense and bring back the blood and fire in Kyoto. Awesome wallpaper!
