This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.
While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.
Happy Lunar New Year everyone!
I hope this year would be better than the last. May providence keeps our heart true when we are faced with the trials of life.
Yeah it's early... but I won't be able to log on to AP on Feb 6 and 7 so might as well submit it now so I won't be late.
Also I would like to dedicate this to all my friends, especially to
Gatoi: Happy birthday, this is your late present ^_^
Red-topaz: Ta-Chan if you're reading this, I would like to thank you once again for simply being there.
SaitouX: your words really raise me up.

I brushed the sakura tree after hours of attempt to vector it. It was horrible. A good lesson to me from making this wall is to never ever try to vector a sakura tree ever again >_<
2nd revision. I blurred the edges of the vectored scan a bit and Ilighten up the colors because a lot of people has been telling me the vector don't blend well with the rest of the wall. Sorry people, I'm still trying to figure out how to get it right.
Excellent Kenshin wall... It really shows the evolution of Kenshin, from when he first started out as a wanderer... to his son... It looks really great... the background really looks like that scene in Tokyo where Kenshin leaves Kaoru... Keep up the good work... hope to see some more... :D

Wow...it is very rare to find a good wall on rurouni kenshin XD
anyway, basically, the bg caught my attention.
and i really like the cherry blossom with the soft colour of the bg.
plus, the vector is clean and i really like the concept.
or maybe you can try varying the tone of the sky behind both character to show the contrasting of both character...just a suggestion...lol
i like this wall just like that...a great simple wall...should add as fav :3

Wow, what a shock. One of the best Rurouni Kenshin wallpapers I've ever seen. Glad that you know the theme of Kenshin. His theme, of course, was always and will be a tranquil and blissful scene. The back round fits perfectly with Kenshin's tender personality.
Anyways, the colors and the vectoring look very satisfying.
Just one thing though, I think the Kenshin's should have been moved up a bit more. Like, leveled.
Dim-pink, like in spring, when the sakuras are blowing. This picture make this sad stroty to mealncholic. This coposition I doesn't like, because the picture pulls away. It's a little bit fuzzy, and too bright. The two Kenshins are good, but this is everything. Something is missing from this picture, but a title wouls disorder. I don't like it.
Great idea, I'm not able to do such things yet :(
I'm still conditioned to simple vectors but I'm improving he he
In the meantime I make you my compliments for the idea and for the art work, it's clean, simple and balanced in colours and atmosphere..
I definitely love it, thanks for sharing and keep it up.. Oh I thank you to choose Rurouni Kenshin as subject ^^ + fav
Very nice, I love the whole pastel colours feel to the wallpaper, Kenshin and sakura certainly go together very well. Rarely do Battousai appears in such a soft background, it is a great idea to put the two of them together in a soft background. Great job!
Great job! I really like the soft colors you used, makes me feel kenshin nostalgia
I also like how there's a dip in the middle, it makes me feel like i'm getting pulled in
Wow,another fantastic Kenshin wallpaper.I don't know why but you put this guy in a wall and you simply get ideas and the wall no matter if its simpler or more complicated still looks good!Somehow this reminds me of the OVAs again,I mean in the left side I could see him like the character he was in the first OVA,darker,lonelier,sadder,makes me remember of his first love while the other side makes me think of the other OVA or his peaceful self,of his new love,of his new hopes but if we take into consideration the fact that he smiles that idea of mine drops but not completely.Well I know that you used the images from the anime and not the OVA where there is a funnier and more optimistic Kenshin.Well with those smiles he gives the idea of being relaxed,I think it's the effect of the sakura,it can warm one's heart,I mean although I haven't seen those gardens of sakura in reality just seeing them in a wallpaper makes me relaxed.I hope that you'll understand a little bit my reasoning!
I just love the work,the beauty,the serenity I can breathe from this wall!
I like it; it flows quite nicely after your revisions. I have had that problem to when dealing with vectored walls. I can see your frustration as well when it comes to vectoring the cherry blossom trees, which is an almost impossible task. Regardless, the brushing came out very elegant.

I'm Filipe, speaking from Brasil!
Wow! It's beautiful wallpaper that you make!
I love Rurouni Kenshin!
It's very nice how you show the both side of Kenshin, kenshin and Battousai, how they follow the same way, how Kenshin know Overcome their fears...
you make a good job changing the colors to combine with the background!
Ah! And you don't forget to erase the scar of Kenshin (right Kenshin), some people forget that the scar stay in left side of his face...
well, very good work, congrats!

bye!

Nice job overall. Adding this one to my favs ;)
Se ve muy bien, el trabajo que se hizo en los arboles de Sakura es espectacular aunque si es algo cagado de rosa, le da un aspecto sereno.
Me gusta.
Its look so good, the job in the Sakura's trees is spectacular however is so pink, but its good.
I like it
