I'm tired, but I'll submit this anyway. I always loved the original image of Sano that I used for this wallpaper. I love his pose, the look on his face, and how everything is monochrome and flows together...So I vectored him and decided to keep him in black and white because I don't see how this image could have worked in color.
For the background, I used a variety of cloud brushes and an actual picture of Japan (Shinjuku to be more precise...yes I know the story takes place in Tokyo...at least I think so...anyway...), and used a tutorial to render it like a "manga background". I really like the end result... I think it's one of my best wallpapers yet.
In case you're wondering where the title for this wallpaper came from, it happens to be lyrics from the Depeche Mode song, "Something to Do". Yes, I'm a DM fan and it's not the first time I incorporated their lyrics in my wallpapers.
Thanks for looking :D

But I think that the background has way too much details in comparison to the guy there. There is a lost of the "feel". His posture is also very expressive and strong, so a darker and stronger background would convey the idea better.
Still, great wallpaper ;)

Nice vector, and strong presentation through the font on the top... although I suggest you position it a little bit lower, because Macintosh users would unintentionally block a part of the typo with their docker bar. Don't worry.. it would not change the overall look of the wall if at all, in my opinion. Windows users should be fine though... there's a lot of space at the bottom to put stuff..
