I brushed in some arrows, drop shawdowed them in the correct colour.
Drop shadowed the image.
Cel-shaded Mugen's red, Jin's blue and Fuu's pink to make them more prominent
(took a fair bit of time)
Used a custom font called: "Spinich" to make the writing.
I you are going to outline then outline the entire firgure group (left of
Mugens). It looks a little unfinished with the characters only being partially
outlined. I'd also try a few different BG colors and patterns. The baby blue
does not lend itself well to the images
Hmmmm well i think it's a little errmm... empty? If you wanna try bg ideas, and
since you're using arrows and whatnot, try adding stuff like abstract circles or
something that would go along in this wallpaper's mood ;D
The hair outlined part (that green stuff) is a bit distracting and kind of
lowers the quality down slightly (it doesn't really look too high quality, nor
does it look "intentional" in the respect it's serving a purpose). The
scan is also shifted a bit too far down.
You can also consider shifting the scan a bit to the left (but not centre) so
that you can overcome the empty problem.
Hmmm. The arrows also have a different quality to the scan you have used.
Perhaps you can make them more solid like the characters? This wallpaper will do
with some good geometry (like shapes and stuff), even textures will do (even on
shapes) behind the Samurai C. gang.
Just a bit of that and a bit more work will be fine and can be submitted. You
don't have to fill in the whole bg, just make sure you've completed your concept
a bit more, because it seems a bit raw at the moment ^_^ Nice work!
No direction
Alright, that's my Samurai Champloo wall.

Any good? Good enough for submission?
Thanks for viewing

Thanks for the comments guys.
I do realise the wall is a bit bland, but i've only been using photoshop for..3 days now.
I dont know much about Wallpaper composition atm, i guess that will come with time
/thinks of more interesting bg's.
