Here is my most recent wall featuring Nico Robin, my favorite female character.
Visit AP for larger resolution.

The wall is completely vector mask shape based (pen tool) in both outline and color, with no brush work or the use of any other tool.

The scan used for the wall is the One Piece Ch.310 color spread:

If you prefer a version that's easier on the eyes (and maybe a more proper setting for Robin) here's a blue fire version:

Other info:
Scan: OP Ch310 spread (above)
Time duration: 5 months (taking many breaks in between.. :X )
Program: Photoshop CS4
Layers: 1573 (with layers having from 1 to a couple hundred shapes each)
Texture sources:
Fire texture from obsidiandawn.com
Dragon's textures from free4illustrator.com
Fabric texture from fudgegraphics.com

And just for fun, a simple 'making of' gif:

Hope you like! :)

    This is pretty cool. I love how the fabric drapes over and flows out like the sea. I do prefer the blue fire version much more. Great work on this :)

    As an image by itself, I think your wall here is beautiful. Love the bright, vibrant colors, and the way you manipulated the scan. As far as a wallpaper, thanks for the blue version. Much easier on my eyes (so I can see my desktop icons! XD)

    Great job overall. :)
