This wall is actually a re-work of an old wall, my third try in fact at making walls, So I wanted to go back and make re works of my failed walls.
Description This wall has taken many forms and this is my most satisfied final product, The Idea was to make it look like it was drawn up on a textured paper with a semi-Japanese Painting feel.
Characters This a Re-Vector of the champloo (Mugen, Jin, Fuu) made originally from a vector by `Chloe-Chan.animepaper.net , the scan is from mini tokyo. the main reason I went for this scan is the fact that Jin, Mugen and Fuu are looking into the shot and not out towards us.
Background The background was made with a originally Brownish grey with texture and then I added a customised Faded Sunrise Gradient and a rising Sun I made with Photoshop Cs2 Default Brush.
Effects This wall was mainly made with photoshop default brush except the rise lighting and the shading on the Champloo which were made with gradient effects, and the bamboo reeds which were made from brushes from "Obsidian Dawn" who have a great range of brushes.
time/effort From my description you may not see how much effort went into making this wall I see a huge improvement from my original concept, The hardest part was coming up with a way to fill the massive empty void behind them with were later filled by hills. The time taken Overall If you don't include planning.(z_z), my artistic block :|and numerous counts of self critism t(>_<t)and critism from others/(-_-)/~ then it took about 3 hours including my first succesful vector (^ 3^) if you include everything in the planning phase, about hmm? estimate 3 months .(-c-). give or take

The green plants clash with the background dramatically. It kinda ruins the red/orange theme. Also, the clouds just don't go well with the sunset patterns. They don't mix very well with the sky. But not a bad effort anywayz.

The three characters in the land of the rising sun staring at the glorious rising sun! Very, very good idea indeed. Really gives the banzai feeling and plenty of room for desktop icons. Very, very nice...

I like the paperyness of everything and the textures you used, the sun, and the positioning of the characters. However I think you may have gone overboard with the bamboo brush, haha. It looks too "brushy" and I think a few larger bamboo would have looked better. :)

It's a nice wallpaper, the vector is sure well done. But I agree with Brad about the most what he mentioned. The clouds don't get well with that japanese style of rising sun. So I would leave out completly, even when it would look more empty. And for the mountains in the back, a different color will be more suited, to match a little with the green one. But anyways a good one.
Yea and from now on widescreen wallpapers? :P

Really dislike the bamboo brushes; why are they placed even in the front of the characters...?! .(-_-). Other than that, it is really awesome. Loved the bg, the textures, colors, and the stunning vector. Simple yet effective.
Great work, anyway!
