i wonder what some ppl would think when they first look at this...im hoping this actually looks like a photo from the thumbnail... first lemme say that i vectored Revy in the middle from a screenshot. I like to make pics from screenshots because i know that what i will make will be original because no one else has that picture [until i post it here because i like to help my peeps out] Beforehand i kinda had a mental image of what i wanted to make, but then i ended up sitting there for an hour or more with nothing until i decided to watch the same episode again. then it hit me! why not recreate the scene! durf! In the scene, Revy says "Time to live forever, baby" and starts shooting everyone...and what better way to portray that hunt than by having a bunch of scared hoodlums choppin. The hoodlums are straight up "lens+guassianed blurred" screenshots because i wasnt gonna waste time vectoring em when i was gonna blur the hell out of em anyway. The bg is a composite/chunk of a subway photo taken from an ImagineFX cd file. Slap in some random txt that kinda matches the intro credits. Then desaturated it somewhat and added some green/blue hues to get realistc colors that arent too cartoony. The blurryness/depth of field is an idea i had such a long time ago but never really attempted it. I tried to make it somewhat realisticly blurred/out of focus. Does it look right? I might try it again in the future, but for now its just an experiment until i get it right. i made some adjustments to make a widescreen version [tho i dont even have a wide monitor] In the wide version, you can see her guns better, which was kinda my original intent in the 1600x size but i just couldnt fit it in. i was gonna have some shell casings w/smoke projected in mid air, but i didnt know what direction i should have had them trail. Because after shooting a gun at a shooting range recently, i now know that casings can hit you in the face! []~~~> (0_o) Ill probably make some more vectors of Revy in this outfit because she looks soo cute it in (^o')g and once again i have typed too much...

*oh btw this isnt just one screenshot, its made of up 7 individual screenies taken from episode 22 i think...*

Wait, wait now man! That is one awesome concept and idea! I really love it...really cool man! And badass tittle =) what more one can want? One thing that keeps me from instant faving is the blurriness, dunno but I think you overdone it a bit...I know what you was going for and it´s a nice idea, but this is too much though. Anyway I love it and can´t wait for possible update.(I would love to see the cartridges in the air too)

Whoaa, reallly awesome, this one. Now I'm totally gonna see Black Lagoon, cause i was thinking of watching it for some time and i've finally made up my mind :D.

I absolutely love you took this from a screenshot, i love that idea and i agree with you, it's the best way to make something original out of it.

Plus, I understand your blurring idea, so I will totally not gonna say something bad about that, cause I think it suits the wall, and makes everything seem like the actual scene.

Love it => fav :D #.(n_n)

The concept is awesome! Certainly shows off Revi's personality. I really like how you did the vector and the effects that you used. What a great wallpaper! Thanks for sharing!

ohh nice idea... really great.. although i agree with Spirit... a bit of blurryness it's ok... but there shouldn't be blurryness around her.. it doesn't look so good... the bg it's a bit too blurry too... it's just a blur issue... other than that i love the vector, the stock was also a good choise.. and the colors are nice too... good work!!!!

Great job on the wall, and I understand why the blurr, but too much blurr is a bad thing trust me. Its hard to look at the wall. But I can really feel the movements, however at times it feels as if they just froze there and were in slow motion (considering the fact that this is a wall not a .mov).

wow, the background was a nice idea you had on how to make it!! i loved your idea, and yeah, there are some screenshots that are "made to be walled", and this fits that description perfectly!

nice work! =D

oh i sort of a had a problem with the blur effects,because for example: you cut out something, then u apply some lens blur to it> it DOES blur it realisticly, but for some reason it doesnt blur the edges of the object/person/layer...whats up with that? so i kinda had to fiddle with lens+guassian blur and i think thats kinda what overdid it ;/ ill upload a version without the txt later if i get a couple more requests for it. thnks for comentos

alrite man, this idea rules as far as i remember nobody walled revy in some real badass situation before point for you now lets review this: the concept with revy in the spotlight is brilliant you did a great job on her skirt, i love that (though revy and skirt sound funny) her upper arms seem somewhat twisted and distorted hair looks good legs are fine pistol holders could look better hand(s) look(s) very good revys trademark berettas definitely needed more attention were there no inscriptions on her guns? im not sure, but i think there were but most of all, why dont the barrels have gunpoints?! makes the guns look like toys when nothing seems to be able to fly out then there would be the spot where revys left index finger is pointing at shes covering it on the other side see? i can only call that a paradox - bad outlines and shading such an object couldnt even exist in real space id say the font is very stylish and perfectly fitting

you made some ugly mistakes here and there, but im sure you could fix them with ease after doing all this so please, do so it would be a shame to leave this much potential go to waste best wishes

The blur doesn't bother me, though I do agree that some of the guys look more "in motion" while others just look blurred. I get what you were going for though :) The text doesn't work for me at all...

**Damn you beat me to it! I really wanted to vector this screenshot but since you did such a excellnt vector of Remy I'll just forget about it. :D

As for the wall: I think I see what you were trying to do with the blurring but it turned out not as great as it could be. It seems way too blurry plus it seems off it some way. Like it needed something extra to make it complete.

That badasss Remy vector still is made of WIN.**

Ahaaa?What have we here?

Girl getting ready to spread some panic eh? Nice nice. I commend you on teh idea and the subway BG.It fits very well with the whole concept.

On the so-so side now,i find it unnecessary that the character's left calf and right thigh are blured out too. I wager you wanted to give the impression they're going out of focus. Clever,but they don't really move that far out of the focal point,don't you think :) Also,her edges are a bit too "smooth" which doesn't quite work out for me.

Finally,the text could be a little more discreet.Its size,style and position near Revy make it distracting.

And a little silly detail i just have to add... Wouldn't a ". . ." be more fiting instead of the "!" ? Really now,think about it.The dots add more weight to the line.The sentence may end at the dots,but they imply there is still to come... ;)

Hope you won't hate me after this,i still like the wall !

I absolutely love this wallpaper, but is there any way you could post a version without the two goons in the front? If that is possible, I'd be greatfull , but I realize why it might not be possible (could be nothing under them XD)

Either way, I appreciate that the wallpaper wasn't just done from a scan (there is one scan of Revi/Levy/Reby/Revy/ (you pick) that everyone uses, and it has always annoyed me, so the inclusion of this wallpaper made from a vector that you did yourself from a screenshot is welcomed).

Keep up the good work!

Hey, this is a really nice vector - do you think you could release a version without the "bloom" and definately without the red text - those two things really ruin it for me.

Good work!

I really like this one. It's hard to find a good wallpaper for Black Lagoon that doesn't have Revy's butt hanging out...it's just not what I want on my desktop. Very nice job.

Revy is the best character in Bl. This scene needed to be made into a wallpaper... The blurriness accents the detail of the middle image. Great job!
