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!
So I extracted the image to the best of my ability and resized to fit the 1024x768 wallpaper size (It is the resolution I use so that is what I wanted to make, I understand that may not be most preferred size for most of you and for that I am sorry). I liked the moon aspect of the scan but wanted to modify that theme to something of my own. I wanted a partially lighted moon and went with a "bloodish color" given the series.
I wanted to have a full sword for "D" and wanted to add a aurora affect. So I used the clone stamp and extended the blade and found a nice brush to make the aurora with. I used the same color for the aurora as the moon.
The moon is typically shown at night so I added stars to make the background nicer and more realistic. I didn't really want there to be a ground so I didn't make anything for the bg below the stars and moon. I just used the series as the text for the wall as room was limited.
On a side note, I messed my username up on this site... I am known as Chiefblackhammer everywhere else I am (my profile here says a.k.a Chiefblackhammer), which is why the sig doesn't necessarily match my username here.
Special thanks to everyone in SZ for all the help with my first wallpaper! (Especially ~baka-neko64 for 2 awesome tutorials and loads of advice!)
I really hope you all enjoy this as much as I have enjoyed the works of all the awesome artists here!

Awesome(red and black = favorite color combination). For a first wall this is a really great job my only complaint is that it's way too small. Some higher resolutions would be nice.
Yay! It got accepted! I'm SO happy for you! You worked really hard on this and it deserved to be put in the gallery. It does look great though. Such an improvement from the first version!
HAHAHA and thanks for putting my name in the description! ^_^ I had no problem helping you. I hope to see more wallpapers from you! Ganbatte!
Oh what a beautiful Vampire Hunter D wall *-*. the moon rocks, i'll fav this one. ^^
great job, and i will check your other wallpaper. you do nice walls.
The BG is extraordianary. I love the red moon especially its really suits the whole theme thatshouts "vampires".
I love vampire movies.The misty stuff coming from his sword is great.
Oh and Donpeal is well extracted.The only problem about it is that the Title is too blurry.
Love the whole mysterious feel to it but you can bearly make out the words.

The wallpaper features D from Vampire Hunter D which I extracted from a scan by `Serika about a week ago:
