Nobuhiro Watsuki' Kenshin the Manslayer has been one of my many favorite characters, for a while especially at a younger age. This is a tribute to a great manga, and a great fictional character.

The tale tells of an assassin that becomes a protector of the people, as atonement for the many lives he once took. Throughout his journey he meets new friends, that aid him in his goal, fights a lot of foes, and even finds true love.

This is also a homage to nostalgic moments of my tenage years, Nothing like old school manga, Toblerone and Daisuke Ishiwatari, huh?

Wasn't really sure how to finish it, after a some thought and a shuffle of ideas through some magazines it hit me;
"J-magazine wallpaper type-a-thing."

With that said, feel free to Download the zip file for more resolutions such as the ones below:

Yah Rurouni Kenshin is a very special anime and manga for me. I truly consider it a classic. But, great news. It is returning! They are completely redoing the show and are actually gonna add the Enishi arc into it. Amazing drawing btw

The wallpaper is awesome, but there are too many chinese/japanese/whatever characters for my taste. A really stunning, relatively roomy wallpaper becomes busy because of the lettering. Try to imagine this with gadgets and stuff...

Leo-Aba In reply to pitkon [2011-06-13 13:13:20 +0000 UTC]

thanx for the input man, u should know i appreciate when someone takes the time to write. I agree with you on the roomy wallpaper. The reason is a personal one. Personally my desktop is mostly clean, with the most important folders on the left, and 2 widgets on the right (windows 7), and that was my dummy sandbox, where i was trying things out.
I love simplistic to-the-point-backgrounds, trust me, i'm a minimalist most of the times, but on this particular one i decided to go "asian" theme wise, in a sense where advertisement fills up almost every space, to the point of suffocation.

You worked so hard on it but one tiny problem. His scar is on the left cheek.
