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!
Adobe Suite: $700. Junk food eaten while designing: $57. Hours spent working on a design when you could have been working: $350 dollars. The 10 minutes for someone to tell you you suck: Priceless
LL: (if you are still on) I need to have you making a group annoucement about the card game. Currently very few people are on it. I make the design,but we need set the rules soon as possible.
this is my first time working wiv stock photos soo don't laff =P. well basically, haku loks full innocent there lol. and the mask reflects bad stuff. the stormy sky and bridge is suppose to look like the place where haku and zabuza first met. the snow kinda covers the images and blurs it out.
the bg is suppose to be a bit blurry if tat's wat is soring sum people eyes =P lol. the stock image background is taken from www.sxc.hu. the kick asssss vector is not mine! lol. its by lilaoryo704 (sorry if i spelt your name rong, can't realli read it in the scan =.=). snows made from a couple filters and brushing.
Tools: Adobe Photoshop CS2
Total layers: around 15-18
Time taken: somewhere around 9 hours =.='
Kya, cute little Haku..I adore that pic so much Kudos to you just for finding this awesome vector image ;)
Yea, like you already said, the stock image is blurry and its quality doesn't quite fit in with the scan. I like the idea of it being a snow scene and all, since that is the kind of weather that Haku met Zabusa in, but I think you could have worked on it more to make it better (such as re-CGing certain parts, or better yet, make the whole background vector since it will definitely fit in with a vector scan more). Good luck in the future ^^
Great Wall! Haku is one of my favorite Naruto characters and I love the way it came out. I like reading the back stories of the characters so getting a wall of one is awsome.
Yay! A Haku wallpaper! Wow. . . I love the snow and scenery. As much as I love the mask and understand it's an important significance of Haku, it seems a bit out of place in this wallpaper. The text is also a bit bold, but I still love it, specially since it feature Haku (>_<)

Wow the wallpaper is amazing. The innocent Haku with the mask just inches from him, genius! Even the snowy background is wonderful. Hope to see more of your work.
DarkAliaz is back with another wall. Yay ^_^
I really thought you vector it considering it looks really neat. Credit to the person named above.
The snow effect looks really nice and a good choice of stock used for the background. I like how you try and blend in the scan in the background by adding footprints.

Wow, thats really cute! I am glad that there are more Haku wall's out there. I love the background you used. It fits the stock image well. Its so going on my favorites and computer~
Awww cute little Haku! ^.^ Though Haku is a boy XD He looks like a total innocent girl there *o* The stock isn't bad but needs a little more work of blending, I like the idea though! ^^
OH I love HAKU! Felt sad that he/she died but still very cute in this wall! Love the stock photo used which makes this wall calm and serene! Awesome blending and making the BG all paint like, I love it! GOod choice of font and I also love the placement of the mask! heehhe Beautiful! Instant favorite!
Haku's so cute as a kid ^^ the character is of nice quality. however the bg quality is kind of low and it doesn't match haku quality-wise, though it does fit since haku and snow go together, to make the story as brief as it gets. good job on everything else.
Love the wallpaper! I'm not a big fan of Naruto, but looking at this wallpaper, makes me want to be a huge fan! The image is so pure and innocent. Keep up the good work!
