Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!
Well then, after seeing a nice looking scan of Gin in the scans section, I knew I had to use it in a wall of some kind. I got the idea for the wallpaper style after brainstorming a bit and looking at the newly-vectored Gin (You can find the vector I made in the scans section if you want to use it), the "trendwhore" or "pop-art" look would perfectly match Gin, and here is the end result. The whole thing went through six different revisions over the course of about a week from start to finish, starting with the vectoring of Gin. Everything is 100% my work, except for the brushes I used to make the textures. It's a collection of brushes I've amassed over the years, so I'm not entirely sure where I got them all. Otherwise, all the circles, arrows, dotted lines, vectors, etc are all 100% my work.
The entire thing is made up of over 200 layers of vectors, brushing, text, etc. It took my computer (Athlon 64 3400+, 1.5 gb ram, Radeon 9800pro 128mb) a good 15 seconds to open up the PSD. Phew.
I vectored Gin using Photoshop instead of Imageready so sorry, resizes are not possible.
Well uh, not much else to say, really... I was listening to a lot of Asian Kung Fu Generation and Straightener when I made this, and just watched the first episode of Honey and Clover 2... I also got filling for a small cavity this week. Well anyway, here it is, hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Yay! I'm such an Ichimaru Gin and Aizen fan, Tousen can jump off a cliff -__-. It's a really nice vector of Gin and I like the fact that it's not outlined. Great use of the textures with the trendy stuff and I love the variations of the color blue. Only thing I'll critique is the fact that this Ichimaru Gin is no longer the 3rd squad captain >.>. I'm crazy to point that out but I really dig this wall, great job and for me it's a fave

Gray and blue matches...
the way to show the words is quite special...
simple brushes on the background...
but the whole wall looks cool...
nice wall...hope to see your coming wall...
Woo, nice wall! I like how you've done the vectors, specially the character; the textures you've added to the bg fit really well. The only thing I like less is the the blue strip with the text(but it's only my opinion XP). Added to fav XD Good job!
SUGOI!! very cool vectoring you used ^^
And Sentence... very good ^^ When Gin activates his zampa ^^
But i think that render is when Gin go away with Aizen, isn't it? So, Gin isn't 3º Taichou yet... HAHAHAHA
Well... i like very much wall ^^

It's much better now, i saw it in SZ and it needed a lot of more work :), the texture is nice, and the bg is cool. the text is also very nice. you have done a great job with victoring it :)
I'm in love with everything on this wall EXECPT the little skull-flame things. i love the text, and the slight grunge-ness of the circles/pop art elements in there. very, very cool.
Oooh, VERY nice character vector, even though his smile is kinda freaky >_< I love the softness of the bg, even though the circles and arrows feel a bit like random space fillers. I'm tempted to say to leave the banner out, simply 'cause it doesn't blend as well with the rest of the wall, but it's definitely a funny touch :P Great job overall! :D
So much to say about this! First of all, I like the mostly monotone look and the slightly different hues of blue and green spread about. When I saw the thumnail, I thought that you might've overdone the arrows and dotted lines, but everything looks fine at fullview. The vector of Gin is fine, however the dark grey shades in his hair don't really go well with the silver; it looks like he has black streaks. Also, I think there are a tad too many skulls around the text and it kinda competes with the rest of the 'paper for attention. Wonderful job overall! ^o^b

Interesting Wall :D
I had to say it.
Other than the neck (it looks creepy) and the third squad captain thing, this wall is awesome! Good job!
