For this challenge I decided to make a wallpaper of Choji. There are a couple of reasons for that. The first and most important is because he's one of the few chubby (big-boned!) characters (if not the only) that I actually know. Also, I actually like the guy. Which is always a good sign if you're making a wallpaper of someone.

While I was extracting this image, I decided to try something new and make a glow around him. I think it works really well and the filter I used really ties everything together. I did think about using some sort of texture (something I seem to be doing a lot of lately) but I decided against it. I think it looks nice the way it is and a texture might tend to make it too grungy.
