Full view please. :)
I haven't been making walls lately except for one that I am slowly making between spare time. Anyway, this wall isn't exactly new nor is it exactly old. I made this in summer 2006 but for some reason, I wasn't quite satisfied with it and didn't submit it here. Now that I look at it again, did some stuff, I kind of like it. XD I vectored this scan from a low quality scan from somewhere that I don't even remember (it's so far back). I don't even have the original anymore since I got a new computer, so yeah...
What I am trying to achieve in this wall is a fresh and retro style. Thus, the pink, yellow, and green (which are based on the colors Mugen are wearing by the way). I just wanted to keep it minimal with lots of icon space (whoo!). Hopefully, the pinkness of this wall doesn't throw people off. I think it's a "retro" pink, not "girly" pink...if that makes any sense. Lol.
I hope you like the wallpaper.
Also available in widescreen (after having a widescreen monitor, I finally realized the importance of making widescreen wallpapers lol).

Very stylish wallpaper, I think you managed to achieve the look you were aiming for. The scan of Mugen looks exceptionally well vectored; excellent job reproducing the details on his clothing and his face particularly, very clean and faithful to the character's overall look.
I also dig the background, simple, yet effective. The stripes aren't overbearing, but rather provide cohesion the the overall theme of this wallpaper much better than a simple gradient or even whitespace.
To round it off, the text you put on the wallpaper further gives your wallpaper a unifying concept without being too obtrusive.
Thank you for your wallpaper and your effort, +favorite.
PS: Widescreen but no 1680x1050? I'd hate to have to do a crop and stretch job for this to fit on the screen *hint, hint*
Haha =)

This wall simultaneously made me laugh and gasp. It's sort of silly, seeing Mugen dressed in pink and green, and yet it's very fitting. The style of vector and background is simplistic and stylish, which I've always been a fan of, and overall it just looks cool.
Very nicely done.

I love the bright colors~! It's so odd to see Mugen with a pink bg! Love the font that you used for "Ghetto Fabulous" absolutely adorable!

Sweet. The colors and mood rock hard. The vectoring is awesome too. And great title XD

Here's my short comments: - The BG pattern and color is unusual but cool - You make Mugen character from other "point of view" which is fantastic - The combination of all brushes, patterns, fonts and effects make the POP-RETRO look more eye-catching!
The point is, I simply LOVE it. +fav!

haha love this ^^. Mugen looks Sexy in this one XD lol.
Yeah, i agree with you on the pink. Its not gurly looking at all.. I mean.. "Only real man wear pink..." So, Duh! Mugen is a reall man! :) haha.
Anyways... I think this is perty nice :) I like the text so much, and the patern on the bg. Also, the brush work for the text placement... lol. is nice. White with pink looks nice. Anyway, Nice wallie, and a fav for me!! :)
Haha, Please dont think bad of me, if i make a Retro, or "pop-punk" type of wall in the near future ^^' there have just been Way to many cool looking walls out :P lol..

Sweet... I like what you've done here. Like everyone said, the vectoring is so clean and the font is perfect. I have myself a pink widescreen Mugen background :3 I'll fave for an overall well executed idea... and the vectoring, you're ridiculous at it o.O
I <3 Mugen!

nice wall. It's kinda funny seein' mugen dressed like that. Good choice on font for the title.

As everyone else said, you did a great job on the vector. Nice and clean.
I really like the background stripes; they're textured perfectly, and the colour combination is interesting without being excessive.
Overall, the whole wall seems to "pop." It reminds me of pink lemonade, oddly enough (that's a good thing!). +fav

Woah. I have to say that I missed this one...I saw your newest Jin wallpaper and went back to see that one. I really like the colors you selected and the patterns and brushes used on the clothes. Nice touch.

Love It Love It. It's Nice To See Him Wearing Something Else Besides Those Horrid Shorts! The Colors Are So Bright And Alive.Very Hip And Stylish.

I can't help it... it's just too funny somehow. Mugen in modern clothing, looking like he could pass for some standard skateboarder on, or something similar, is too hilarious. lol
As for the design: I really like this kind of style. I'm keep ending up with a lot of dark walls--not on purpose!--so it's nice to have such a bright wallpaper to use when things get a little dour. Nice job with the bottom left corner, it works well.

Meru Meru| One of my favorite wallpapers from the Samurai Champloo album. <3 Love the colors that're used and Mugen just looks completely fabulous. The one you did with Jin just compliments it too. It's like you can't have one or the other. You've gotta have both.

This one and the New Definition of Vogue are great! Both have a really well done use of colors, and everything just matches in a great way. This one I have to say is just a little, little bit below the New Definition of Vogue one, because of the brightness of the orange and yellow can really be a flash at your eyes... Either way, it's still amazing!
