Atlast, I manage to submit a wallpaper after like... 2 weeks...@_@. I'm kinda busy these days, it is exams period at my university so I worked on this wallpaper little by little.

Anyway, the concept was inspired by Tama-neko, I was discussing with her on irc and I had this scan of a samurai girl from an other anime, and she suggested to create an "indoor" background, inside a sort of shrine/temple or something like that. At a first moment I dropped that idea, but then I found this scan of Aya and I reworked the concept.

Basically it's an outdoor scene with a perspective that looks indoor, inside an sort of temple room. I had to recg the scan, it was all covered with text and it took me a while since the area around her skirt and the sword were not really easy ^_^;.

The background has been totally drawn from scratch, using an almost central perspective in order to get the viewer's attention focused mainly on Aya. I got inspired by a scene in the anime where she is training with her sword and she's cutting sakura petals (which explains the sakura petals in the wallpaper, falling from the upper area). The japanese signs drawn on the two flags mean "Tenjou Tenge", I am no japanese expert so Tama gladly helped me to write the title in japanese characters. ^_^

So that's it... I kinda like the way this wallpaper turned out, it went exactly the way I planned it to be, and somehow it has a "kill-bill" feeling to it lol, Aya in that pose kinda resembles Gogo-Yubari hehe.

Thanks again to Tama-neko for helping me out with the Japanese characters and thanks to Kenzuke from Imanimetions who gave me his sakura blossom brush.

More resolutions will be available at SHINNDOU in the next update ;)
Enjoy!
