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.
Lol Really? Wow You always seem to Surprise me tide-kun. Well hey im going to get some food and think about the nickname i'll make for you *Huggles* Take care Buddy Bai Bai =]
I've always loved the realistic and mystical look of Kenshin in the OVA's so I wanted to incorporate Kenshin with that look into a wall. I tried to create an open background yet still full with emotion if you get that at all. I wanted to express Kenshins emotions of emptiness and "rebirth" in the setting and I think it works pretty well. I wanted to accentuate the memory of Tomoe in Kenshins mind by adding her image in a sort of spirit form.
Overall I think the Wall turned out pretty good and I hope evryone likes it.
I'm a huge Kenshin fan but I have a few nitpicky things to say about this wall. The lens flares in the upper left bother me somewhat. The main source of light in this piece of obviously the sun, but it just seems to be destroying the background sky. I think this wall would be better off without that massive lightsource and just leave the dreary clouds you had going there. I like the colors you used in the sky a lot, but that light really breaks up the middle of this wall and destracts from your grass work, clouds, and the scan. It also makes the text very hard to read.
In my opinion this wallpaper would be very nice if you'd just gone with the sky you seem to start with and got rid of that sun.
I still like it, but I see a lot more potential in it.
Love this wall.. I like the idea of having tomoe faded.. looks awesome. I agree a bit on the lens flare, but I don't think it detracts that much from the wall, it still looks great as it is. The texture fits well and the grass and sky both look very well done. Keep up the wonderful work (:
I like it, but there are two things bothering me: the font, which seems rough, and the fact that their hair is blowing in opposite directions. Other that, great concept! I love the way the girl seems really ghost like without looking like you used some cheap blending option.
Very nice Kenshin wall. It has a very strong dramatic feel to it and the title you have put is appropriate as well. I like the fading effect and texture you have put on your text. I dunno how I feel about tomoe... I like the ghostly effect maybe you could have overlapped kenshin's image so it creats a certain connection. Dramatic wall I like it!
The lensflares actually give the atmosphere an odd sort of feel. Somewhat spiritiually full. The only thing that bothered me is the hair blowing in opposite directions. But, hey, who knows which direction the wind is blowing in the ethereal realms? :D
In response to a few of your comments I fixed Kenshin's hair to flow in the same direction as Tomoe's and I also took care of the lens fLare's that a few of you didn't like.
Personally, I think the wall is absolutely great. I'm a hu...ge fan og kenshin. If i like a wall, i would love, and this is just great, for me...:neko:

Great work, I really like it, altho I haven't seen the old version with the lens flare, so I can't really compare them. Anyway I can't really point out anything that's not great in this wall, so +++fav :)
Yeah the image quality could be better, and something more could be added to tomoe.. it's a bit plain. Kenshin's feet & the grass could be more subtle, but I'm being picky with that, so overall it's a very pretty wall! nice mood.
