This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.

Ok... although that link didn't worked..
extraction of character are clean and nice quality but maybe you can improve a little more by cleaning
and... well that background don't work at all... the modern beach isn't where they are supposed to be
for the emblem at middle... its kinda blury.. maybe you can sharpen it or... vector it
also signature is kinda big

well... good luck

This is what it looked like before the beach background... i kinda like the beach more cause it doesnt look like its not in the anime as there are a lot of modern things within the anime and this was taken in Japan by me a year ago... (i just cleaned up the leaf a little as well) oh and the link was fixed to work like this one ...

im still unsure of the background although i like the black one the most... any ideas? im still new to certain features in Photoshop and i have version 6 of it so i might be limited compared to others... or do you feel that one of them is good to send in? let me know cause im stuck on what to do...

Eh, i think it's too plain, and the roughness of the leaf emblem and the scans doesn't necessarily fit with a smooth shaded in background. I think it'd look cooler if the emblem were maybe etched into stone or coarsely painted on something rather than just floating in space. I liked the gradient pic more than the black bg one simply because it seemed less empty.

Your foreground elements are fine. The extraction has been handled well. It does require a background of some sort though... something to compliment the existing elements of your work. Your initial version's background I found didn't achieve this. The obvious filter over a stock photo detracted from rather than enhanced your work.

It's okay to have a simple background...
However, why don't you try to play with some brushes and renders for the background. I think I'd be nicer to see since the current one is rather plain. On top of that, it has no light effects after all >.<; Gomenasai if I'm too harsh.
The extraction is well-done and other things seem okay to me. Only a few maters that I mentioned above are the main problems. Other than that, I think nothing's wrong with it =)

Good luck ^.^

The background effect is a little too reliant on filters again but is otherwise coming along fine. It matches better than the original photo.

You need to come up with a concept first... something you're trying to do. Filters can by all means be used but it shouldn't be completely obvious as is the case above.

Agrees with everyone...
The symbol is too stark, it makes the colors of the characters look dull ~ tone down the white symbol a bit.
BG is to plain...nice colors though ^^ ~ since the characters look like they were done in watercolor, try a BG in that effect too. (just a suggestion)
and the "naruto" on the middle doesn't work ~ should put it somewhere else.

hope these are useful:
try the blending modes (overlay,multiply,softlight etc..)
experiment on filters, but don't use too much or it'll get messy...
look for inspirations ^^
tutorials

Good luck~
