    This is my first time putting together a wallpaper, tell me what you think please. I wasn't sure where to stick the glowing X scar, and I'm not sure if it's in the right place either >.<x blarg

    That's pretty awesome, I'd say. The X is placed well, because it's nice and visible without being too prominent. I'd put it out of the way of his sword too. And it looks as if Kenshin's hair in the unblurred picture is cut off at the tail. Well, a small block of it. Really good though, REALLY GOOD.

    Thanx0rs for the advice :cool:
    I changed the position of the X out of the way of the sword a bit, but the sword before was a bit mangled at the top... I fixed that a bit too and that's why I put the X there :p The hair though, I'm going to still try to do something with that, either cg in his hair, or do a gradual blur so it isn't as noticable ><

    nah, the pic is normally like that... I've been working on it a bit and I'll probably have the fixed version up in a few days :) And maybe I should give his hair some strange effect, like have it wave over the other picture...

    Cut out his hair, then use layer effects. I think that'd look pretty...cool, actually. That's a neat idea. Like, make it ripple, or spherize it!! Actually, another good idea is to use the blur tool or smudge tool, then go to render and set it to the sphere, then turn it so it won't be as visible. :D

    Not bad at all! Great job, that guy!

    At least you all have got knowledge of how to do this with kind of thing! I only just learned how to make parts of the image transparent!!

    Thanks for the tip Izzy :) I did something kind of like that to fix it, I sort of put a layer that was just a black block next to the picture and added a motion blur to that block and it made sort of a black blur over the hair ^^

    If the new one doesn't show up, like it's been doing with me for some reason >.<x try

    I took a picture that I sort of experimented on before and added some blurring and text and here's what I came up with, this ones only 800 x 600 though

    I'm in a photoshop mood so if I put any more together I'll be sure to post them up :) And I can try to work on something for you Zanza, but it may take a while... I should try making a few Kenshin layouts to use for websites and make a sect on my site ^^>

    I still have tonnes of l337 stuff to learn though... I just haven't discovered them yet, but I'll keep trying to work at em' If anyone has an anime picture they think would look really cool in a wallpaper then send it over and I'll try to put something together :)
