Oi~! It's been ages I haven't post a wall in MT but I'm back on the road again! :D I have a new version for almost each of my old wallpapers that can be found in my animepaper account since MT won't let me update them. =_=;
Onto the wall... I'm not a Byakuya fan (Renji <3) but I'm dedicating this one to all the fangirls (Tate? :D)/boys out there lol. All started off with the Soul_Society Livejournal community contest I won. I received a Japanese magazine where there was a nice picture of Byakuya that screamed to me "vector me oh great sandy!" XD Click here for the original scan I made.
As you can see, it was meant to be vector: recolouring and redrawing the missing and covered parts by the text. The vector took me roughly 4 days. I know I'm slow but I'm making the thickness of the outlines manually and not with a custom brush so it takes some time. =_=;
Now onto the scene itself. When I saw the picture, I knew right away what I wanted to do with it. Something simple and pure, I wanted to make it exactly like his shikai performance in the anime with no painted background to give it a dramatic aspect. Just Byakuya and his zanpakutou surrounded by "sakura petals". I gave it a few more FX to make it more spiffy (fog, glowing aura, rays of light, reflection of the sword in his eyes, etc.) and decided to make it "in the process", that is not with the blade completely disappeared, to have a dynamic scene.
I used different photoshop textures to fake the reiatsu ("spiritual pressure"), all for the dramatic effect's sake.
I've decided to make it lavanda and not pink like in the anime because pink looks a bit... well... gay. XD
I placed the petals with parsimony to not break the balance of the composition.
About the title (which is the actual summoning sentence "Chire, Senbonzakura"), I would have, at first, placed
it bottom middle but I think I did this too many times before so I've decided to use the fact that Japanese writing
can be used vertically to place it at a perfect place to the left (it gives balance to the composition, the scarf on the
right side dividing the space in two).

Pretty awsome work. Going from an orange-based image to a full-color vector...and the petals along with the effects are pretty awsome as well...I'm not a Byakuya fan (in fact, I pretty much hate the guy...) but this is some top-quality work.

Wow, finally a new wallpaper from you! Ureshii! What a beautiful Kuchiki Byakuya wallpaper! About the lavenda color you're right, the pink one is a little bit too gay for Byakuya, haha! Great Reiatsu pressure effect, like the anime. I love the reflects on Byakuya eyes. And great vector you (toujours aussi parfait tes wallpaper sandy ^^) + fav

Wow this is really ridiculously good.. I've admired your earlier submissions and was actually wondering why you hadn't submitted in a while. *gawking* I love the effects you've created. I usually try to give suggestions but really don't have anything to say here. ^^; This is really a job well-done.

Byakuyo probably has one of the best attacks in the whole of Bleach. Cant wait for his fight with Ichigo to take place :D

This character is such a jerk in the anime, but when he fights he's so freakin cool. Especially when he does this move. Anyway great job converting the release of his zanpaktu (I wonder if i spelled that right). :)
