Fly... by °Phill 3 weeks 17 hours ago
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.

Author's soapbox
Finally I finished this wallpaper. I designed it for the "Countries" Contest by the Forget Me Not group here on AnimePaper, and the style should represent the Arabian countries (not specified, they are looking almost same for me :P) Haha, so somebody did something else as Japan. (what a cliche...doing Japan XD)
And also the Yu Yu Hakusho category is really low on wallpapers, and this cool anime needs more! If I finish my current projects, maybe I add another one.
As you see is fully vectored. The whole vector (characters,background,birds) costed me exactly 1313 layers.
The worst was to vector Hiei, for his black clothes - I barely have seen what I vectored, some outlines I guessed only :P His sword vector was combined with Satin effect, to make a really good looking shiny-goldy sword.
Except the sword are a lot of others changes too (I mean compared to the original scan, due his low quality and incorrect colors) Background made with gradient + some shading + some textures. Maybe simple, but I like it. Changed the boulder color to "sand-style" and added 3% noise to them. Pretty colorful and requires less icons on your desktop.
Yea and is my first wall with male characters XD
Originally I made a background with Terragen, but it didn't turn out well. As people mentioned, it looked a bit real, and in my opinion the perpective and the style was wrong. Yu Yu Hakusho is a anime with older drawing style, so a more easy background is better suited.
And want to thank all people for tips and cheering for me: chibimisao, kaizor88, angel-voice, damoser, Bernouli, fye-lover, arthurgomes and my best buddy, Gatoi.
PS. Often mentioned people me that I'm doing too many loli or chibi walls :P So I decided to do 3 "fighting/guys with weapons" style walls in this year. Enjoy the first!

I like that you left the sky empty, clouds would make the wallpaper too busy. Best part of the wall = seagulls!
Vectoring Hiei must have been a challenge, it's always a bother when you can't see the lines clearly.

Must make a wallpaper... needs a better scan, お願い ♥

+ favie ^.~
i m s o o o h a p p y t o b e m a r r i e d t o W i l l !
the bg is better this way, i'm glad you dumped the terragen bg. also the fact that you didn't add detail to everything makes it simple and clean, yet it's not simplicity, so it's omewhat of a fusion.
well done.
Hiei looks kinda not like himself but thats ok. Background is decent but I didnt get what the birds are for.
Keep up the Good Work.
^My Sweet Wife!!

I love the effect you achieved: You made the vector see very nate ordering the colors in a very nice way. All seems very beachish.

Good job.
I usually don't go for 'busy' walls with a lot of characters, but this is definitely an exception. Wonderful job. I hope to see more YYH walls from you. +fav

It's a overwhelmed work to gain only B-. I mean, the score is right, but I think you spent too much labour with it. At the end, it's like the scan, and those black clothes are just unreal and don't fit well.
Usually, working on PS-CS2 is always worth it because of experience. It is indeed what you gained here, though the idea wasn't interesting. As you said, this is old drawing, "old school anime" I say, and it would awesomely difficult to make it as interesting as newer drawings.
In my opinion, a bloody difficult and overwhelmed labour for a simple work.
the background it's nice and the birds it's wonderful
the colors and everything are pretty n_n
"things just happen things that we may never understand. but we just have to believe that it's for the best, even if it doesn't always seem that way"
Yoite +he's all mine+ Rabid Fangirls claim yours!
Fave++ for the vectoring (i am too lazy to do such a big vector :P)
