I really like the idea of this wallpaper. Infact when I seen this Hihara scan the idea popped into my head. The only thing is Im having a problem getting it all to work together. I actually did try to vector Hihara but failed horribly at it..lol. I do have a new found respect for vectorers though now because that was deffinately not as easy as I thought it would be. For the background I found a smoky like image and just took out the background and than selected areas and colorized it. My idea was like a rainbowish flow. Anyways, I would really like some opinions on this wallpaper because like I said I love the idea and need ways to make it work.

Scan can be found here.

***Edited. I actually have found some great brushes that will work way better than the background I made. Gonna update this soon. I might even try to paint Hihara myself. Is that acceptable? Or just vectoring?**

The scan is low quality! and you should extract it well D: ..
make the background little blurry..to not show the mistakes ... ??

Thanks. Ill keep working with it.

Ok. Here is what I have so far. It has an updated background,text, and I tried to clean up the scan a bit. Im not sure about the placement of the text or the text itself really. Also, deciding whether or not I should leave the music lines on the background or not? Hopefully it looks a little better now?

It's starting to look cool
maybe move the music flow thingy in the back a little down
the big issue here is the quality >.<
well i honestly like the first version background idea better, if flows nicely, despite the quality
the scan looks pretty stretched out...maybe you should conside to vector

Thanks for you suggestion! Im actually asking a few people on DA If they can vector it for me. I really was bad at it..lol. So I will update when I get a higher quality picture.
