After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!
This was a labor of love. I fell in love with the scan of Kenshin by *shaza, and just had to do something with it. My life as of late has been hectic, and I find the process of vectoring images soothing. It took about 40 layers and an infinite amount of shapes in Illustrator CS2, but I completed him in about 4 days work, working about 5 hours a day on it. When I finished, I was so proud of the work, I decided I had to make a wall of it, rather than just keep it to myself. So, the process became more lengthy!
Now, I've never been good at backgrounds, so that took a while to come up with something. I took a page from the Rurouni Kenshin manga artwork, which seemed to feature a lot of stylistic elements from japanese cutting paper. I searched for patterns, but eventually settled for making a conglomerate of something I thought looked good. I vectored the flowers in the edges, though I was smart enough to reuse shapes for that. From there I gave it the scroll like look, and decided that was still not enough.
I searched the Rurouni Kenshin scan section until I came across ~Turkman's scan. I didn't want to use all of it, and simply vectored the large sakura branches in the corner. This was the hardest part of the whole project. It took forever figuring out the shading for the branches, but I think the way they ended up suits the rest of the image. Once those were added to the wall, I added texture and shadows to get the full final image. I hope everyone enjoys!

Wow... beautiful, its been a long time since i last saw such a nice wallpaper like this
the background really reflects the personality of Kenshin
good job done XD
Nice and clean, I like that. The branch overlapping him looks awesome and there's not really anything to comment on. Maybe that the top and bottom border looks a bit weird, but it's nothing huge.
The vector itself is gorgeous and amazingly well done. The detail you put in it is insane, and very beautiful; it's not every day we get to see a vector this beautiful. However... it doesn't fit with the background. It has too much of a vectory and shiny feel to it, and that makes the background look plain an unfitting to the main focus. The same goes beauty wise.
But still, the vector it very great. I loved it... but the background just doesn't fit.

I think you did a lovely job putting the background together and creating the vector. However, I dislike the shadow. Because the background is very flat and basically a sakura pattern, the shadow throws it off entirely because it adds dimension and 'space'. It just doesn't seem to suit this wallpaper. It would've been better completely flat.
I think this is a truly fantastic Kenshin wall. He looks so dang sexy and confident you picked a real winner as far as scans go :3 I think the scan is clean cut and perfect and the background you chose is very suiting, it's not to distracting but just gives it the right amount of detail and color. I like how you incorporated the cherry blossoms as well I think they suit the beauty of his face and his calm gentle nature. Over all this is a awesome wall. A++ and a fav. :D
The vector of Kenshin looks really nice and clean. Really love the background and the flowers. They're so pretty and it matches with how Kenshin is posing.
