Okay, so this is my first wallpaper. Wanted to emphasize the loneliness of Naruto's youth. Got the source image from a video capture of a flashback that showed him walking alone as the adults of the village point and whisper at him. He walks by a wall and it shows the shadow of kyubi, which he can never separate from himself.
I added a wood texture and some grunge, and then played with the color filtering. I tried red first, but it just didn't feel right so I switched to yellow, with a hint of orange and that seemed to match the mood and his character.
I could tinker with this for hours, but I'm semi-pleased with myself considering it was a first attempt. I contemplated putting words, but I always think that cheapens it...

Very simple and cool. I like it. The simplicity just works really well here.

7 years, 10 months ago
I love the idea, it's so unique and off the usual cliff. Great job on this one :)
7 years, 10 months ago
great idea..hate the anime..but love the wall..
7 years, 10 months ago
This is probably the best first wallpaper I've ever seen. Not bad at all. :D

The shadows are REALLY well done, compared to others I've seen. It actually follows the texture of the wood, into the ridges and out. But then... the resolution is kind of weird? 1600*1024? >.>

um.... the shadow is really a nice works! it's simple but it gives out the effect! nice works!
7 years, 10 months ago
thanks for the comments everyone... about the resolution... i am on a g4 powerbook with widescreen display so im always bummed that when i set cool desktops they either get cropped or smashed... so i made one that fit!

this 1 is really great, nice job!
7 years, 10 months ago
Yeah you posted this one!!!!!! It's coolios!!!!!!
7 years, 10 months ago
I really like this wallpaper. Putting the shadow on a wooden texture gives it an evocative, olden-times feel. And you were absolutely right not to put any text on it as it would take away from the overall image. When I make my first wallpaper, I hope I can make something as good as this. Can't wait to see what else you'll do!
7 years, 10 months ago
this is an awesome idea!! I think you could carry it further and do a bit more with it still, but it's very cool the way it is too.
7 years, 10 months ago
This is my new desktop. I really like Naruto, and I really like this desktop. I like the simplicity of it, and the capturing of Naruto and the fox are great.

So beautiful. Evocative of one of the darker themes of the anime.
7 years, 9 months ago
great wall done real nicely with the simplicity.
7 years, 9 months ago
like the shadow
7 years, 9 months ago
This wallpaper is so right that if you watch the show you have to like it.
7 years, 9 months ago
This is a great exaple of Sillouette in a wall.
7 years, 9 months ago
I like so~Thanks for listening to my suggestion
7 years, 9 months ago
Really nicely done. The only thing I dislike is the "halo" around it. Though I believe that it's in the original screenshot, so there isn't much you can do, huh? Well anyway, I like it, I'll probably use it too.
7 years, 9 months ago
Nice and simple, and the shadow says it all. I like it! Good work.

7 years, 7 months ago
simple make cooler I have this kind of feeling about wallpaper but it is still very good i just like this too
7 years, 7 months ago
Very simple, which makes it so good. I hope my first try is that well done, congrats!
7 years, 7 months ago
This looks really cool, but I think some more tails would have been even cooler. I don't feel lonliness I feel likes he's burdened. Though I suppose being burdened by it will bum you out pretty bad. 9of10

heh...reference to Naruto...the ninetails...
Instant favourite for me since I like naruto..and the colour orange..XD
7 years, 6 months ago
I love the shadow effect, overall this is a great wallpaper.
7 years, 6 months ago
Beautiful!! i have to compliment you on your genius for this wall. i'm glad to see a minimalistic wall filled with so much feelings in it. with just using lighting and shadows, you've basically captured the naruto character and story. a lovely piece of work, deserved of praise^^
7 years, 6 months ago

Great! I love simple wallpapers. Good break from all the wallpapers of him jumping or opening his big mouth.

Amazing job on a first wall! The design is so original...love the use of the wood texture...nice job with the shadows as well...they look realistic A simple but symbolic wall
7 years, 2 months ago
Correct colour selection, it would not be that great if you put red at first. I believe words does cheapens it but since it's a wallpaper, I prefer a single black colour word put on it. Overall, I love it.

love the old japanese movie look to it. the simplicity really draws on the viewer to reanalyze the wall. wonderful job.

I love the Wind end theme! Its very pretty and like how you made a wallpaper out of part of the scenes in the video~! ^__^ IT ROCKS!

Nice idea. It reflets Narutos Lonliness. A small question, have you thought of doing a wallpaper of the same idea where Naruto's shade with everyone else ? It would look great next to that one.
6 years, 11 months ago
Sooo cuteee! Wind is the best ending from Naruto...
and...to be your first wall it's very nice ñ_ñ

The design concept of this image is nice, and the simplicity of it has a nice effect. Great concept. The idea for this wall is great. Very creative. Great work on every thing. It's really a cool wallpaper.

Very nice! I'm a huge Naruto fan and find this really effective. ^_^ Proof that a good idea beats complexity.
6 years, 8 months ago
Very cool and simple. But at first I thought it was Gaara but then I saw the tails behind him. I think it might be a little better if you showed more of the tails in the wallpaper. But other than that it's good!
6 years, 8 months ago
nice idea, it seems simple but its actually quite a good WP
6 years, 7 months ago
Nice wall, even though it's very simple and clean, it's a great wall. You did a good job on the shadows, especially for a first wall. ^___^

I like this wallpaper with realness. Putting the shadow in the structure which becomes the tree the aeration hour height old timely impression of the thing gives in it. And you from the image which is general what kind of original do not put [anh] hit because of carrying absolutely to it. Goes out and when making the first time wallpaper, I make and silence the thing like this which will split am good i hope. Can' T expectations you' which see what of that outside; ll! Beautiful!! I must praise you in your genius for this wall. i' Purely minimalistic walls which comes to fill and with the sense which is to m it. Only ignition and the shadow, you' Uses; ve basically seized naruto quality and a talk. The love which is praise^^ value the be work
