This is my entry for InkyMonday's Pool Party Round II, my word of choice is “freedom”

I wasn’t going to make scenic wall at first since pattern is required, however,I always want to paint busy night city so I decided to draw a scenic BG instead

-Anyways I repainted the girl since her original lightning was off from what I was planned. you can get the original scan from here and compare -For the background, I painted everything from scratch. It was super fun!! i learned a lot through out, about perspective and all.

well i submit the clean version, without pattern, this is the version with pattern i know the pattern area is very little, but the rule says nothing about the size so... :-"

EDIT: wow! i didn't expect this, just woke up and see this XD, thank you very much nat ^0^

hmm apparently I am the first to comment (maybe second by now) but prepare for a load of critique and comment that is intented to be supportive ^^

*vieuws patternd version* next time when you apply a pattern be sure it doesnt overlay non-wanted parts like the face..duplicate the layer, and remove a unwanted part (head) and apply the pattern as wanted. now the pattern is even in motoko her face..

*main wall* lightning on motoko is briiliant gives her suit a glow led effect and makes it better and more futuristic. The skye background has good clouds and lightning distribution, could have maybe been even a bit more with a little more gradient into it. Oke the main point, nat allready pointed out some stuff so i will skip those, except cant help point out to the non existing building rightside below motoko her head. it has a side wall but no real front to it HAX!!><;; :p . Concenrning that everything was drawn from scratch it is a great job, no doubt about that. The idea of adding depth by adding more buildings but fader behind the front row is a good idea, next time push this even further with more buildingrows. And to increase the hight idea i would advice making the colours around the roads darker giving it more contrast and a depth feel. Also the streetlightbulbs are a bit to hight/out of shape. Next time maybe skipp those, if seen from a great hight these would emerge as one with the other road lights.

so now to fav ore not. I will fav it, but next time i expect more and improved. why push you to do it? to learn from it and increase youre skills. Also next time please no black borders any more. And i know my grammar sucks but i think you can read and understand it all :P

I think the only problem with it is that there is only one res and it's with black stripes anyway. If it wasn't for that... it really would be great. It surely deserves highlight in terms of artistic value (first in while that actually deserve it I think) but to bad it's just... not that much usable >.<;

Still, gets a fav from me.

I really felt the lighting just makes this piece. It's not exact, you didn't go out of your way to make everything 100% accurate with street lights, buildings in the distance, etc. and that's what makes it so great. The overall scene is completely understood, and our minds can focus on everything and not just one little detail that's a bit off.

Ah, good thing your wall got featured, normally these kind of wallpapers get underrated because people fail to see the work the maker put in it. In your case, I really think it's amazing that you drew the whole background yourself. It looks fantastic, even though there are lots of details bothering me, like the buildings Beckor mentioned and the way the left 'light-lanes' are positioned compared to the buildings, but it all doesn't matter because the whole picture is just mind-blowing. By the way, in the patterned version, the pattern doesn't follow the body curves, which looks very amateuristic. So it's good you posted the clean version.

Overall, fantastic work, very original, I love that. Keep up the good work.

Some applaud and critique.

First I would like to say that this is an amazing ghost in the shell wall. The perspective and the city/background itself as a whole is quite impressive and the vector is nicely done. Also the fact that the city is from scratch is quite impressive.

As far as critique goes, (all of these which were probably mentioned previously), there's a building right underneath the Major's head that is missing either a side or a front, and the lighting on the sides of the roads and the roads themselves are semi-distorted/not in proportion. While in a way it adds a surreal affect to most of the wall, the third road from the left of the wall initially looks very odd. Aside from that the building shadows are a little off in places, particularly on the left side of the wall.

Ah I almost forgot to mention the sky, it's marvelously fitting. The angle of the clouds in relation to the rest of the wall add a significant amount of depth and detail to the perspective in a positive manner and is nearing upon eye-candy, well dark and stormy eye-candy but eye-candy nonetheless. A little more detail could possibly be added in places to improve the affect but as a whole it works very well for the wall.

Lastly, the black bars...I personally have mixed feeling on them. While I'll agree that add a different and nice contrast to the wall, they at the same time can detract from the great piece of work you've done. If it was to great a pseudo-wide screen affect , possibly make a widescreen wall size to begin with (or borrow a friends monitor to do it :) ). If it was included just to add an affect of contrast to the wall possibly add another horizon element to it. As it is I think it is fine for the particular wall, for the most part.

Overall a really great wallpaper and one of the better Ghost in the shell wallpapers I've seen. It definitely deserves a favorite and I look forward to seeing your future work/improvements.

Really beautiful wallpaper. :D You did a great job of brining out the scan and making the color match the background. Very eye-catching! And the background is spectacular! Who would have thought a wonderful night scene can be drawn so simply, and yet still look so great. The only thing is the perspective for the buildings...especially the shadowing ones behind...but still looks very good overall.

I think this wall deserves the highlight. What I love most is the skyline...how the lights are so wispy like the clouds, and the colors are perfect too. I think I may use your sky as a future reference hehe. Though I do think the lights at the horizon could merge more or be brighter because they should have more density at that distance. And some of the buildings up front look kinda copy/pasted, and it would be cool to see more variety in the building's architecture, but it's plenty good enough already to get the point across. Also the wall overall is small and not many people could use it, however I have my little 1280x800 laptop so it's very crop-able! Next time it may be wise to make a bigger wall so more people can use it too. +fav from me

WOW guess I'm a little late on this one but I just had to add my comment to this extremely awesome wall. Well as most have already said this fits Ghost in the Shells atmosphere to a "T" and the detailing is just amazing the city glows like fire and it's simple it's not over done or over flashed it's just the right amount, the only thing I have a small problem with is the resolution I think that with a bigger one it would pack a more serious impact, it's just to small in my opinion.But other then that it's great :D A- and a fav .(n_n).

I believe this wallpaper nicely conveys the many different dimensions of technological advancement as well as human psyche; however, the asymmetry of the central character some what bugs me. Why not place her in the center with her entire front body symmetrically visible, which can smoothly balance out the speed of her falling motion and the dynamics in the lines of city lights?

It's amazing how well every element is put in there-- it really merges together. The effect of wind, or falling, on the character is so well done too. I just..love it. Even if the black borders annoy me, and make me want to punch them (OMG, I'm talking about borders...hitting borders ...). And watch out for the rough edges of the building (soften them a little might work, or make the color lighter), and overlaping two edges form foreground and background.

All in all, the sky is great, and even if you fall, the ground will come to meet you. Congrats on the great work! And the colors, so beautiful... *keeps mumbling*

A well deserved AP feature, that's for sure. The details are breath-taking! I love your colour combos. Very artistic wallpaper. I think your positioning of the girl is wonderful, it really brings out the character in her. I think the buildings could do with a bit more blending because currently they sort of stick out a bit too obviously which makes it look a bit off, but other than that there's really nothing to complain about. Except...maybe the resolution. Surely such a masterpiece deserves more resos. D:

First, I'll say, stellar work. Looking at it refreshes the whole GITS experience for me.

On details, I like the blurring on Motoko and the subtle blurring of the buildings in the background. It's the culmination of these small touches that makes this piece stand out.

mmm anyway about the wall, the colors are absolutely awesome and using brushes instead of obsessively detailing the background is a great idea (and less labor-intensive too, lulz) though I think it might have looked better if there was an extra row or two of solid, smaller buildings.

btw special < 3 goes to the bridge in the middle, it helps break up the monotony of buildings and it makes the whole wall look more special :D

When i see this wallpaper i tyhink "there's something wrong" I'm sorry, but i love GITS and in this wallpaper i can see not a good job. Why? Because the city is only a way of lights from the first skyline, motoko has not face, sky colors has a strange dark-light variation... I know motoko has not face for the scan, but i think everything else can be better. Almost, not for a GITS fan as me, but the wallpaper may be acceptable for too many people...

I love the foreground. However the cinematic lines annoy me a bit. But the rather most annoying thing is the way you connected the "houses" in the very front of the background to the "back"-backdrop. It looks to me unfinished.

I do like the coloring and the way you matched the sky properly for the scene.

Overall I'd say it's a good wallpaper and certainly it was a lot of time you spent for it. But those little things sometimes tend to disturb the feeling the wallpaper has to it.

I've been a long time lover of GitS. So much so I even had the game that came out for Playstation back 1998, which was only mediocre, at best. GitS: SAC, 2ng Gig, and SSS were all great additions to GitS. This wallpaper unfortunately the right size of my desktop resolution. Hehe.

awesomeeeee......i really interested on how this wallpaper can be made so beautifully...the lighting effect on the leg so realistic...

but...too bad it did't come in wide screen..and the black bar on the top and bottom it's kinda irritating too if to be used as wallpaper...

but anyway,it's marvellous, and deserve the SSS rating...

I think the composition of the graph is the best ever, however, you you might like to think of decreasing the "exposure" of the picture (the white lines due to traffic. Those lights are actually out of their position such that some of the glare covered the buildings. The buildings in the front does not fit with the background harmoniously too

Woah, great lighting! O_o

I'm in awe looking at the city and the sky, that must've been one hell'a work... I also think you managed to express the feeling of freedom quite well^^ I also find it funny that the black bars kinda make it look like a scene from a movie or smething xDD There's something that disturbs me about the position of the character, though... I can't really express what it is, I'm afraid -_-" But other than that, you did a great job with the BG, the lighting, working the chara into the wall (so it looks like it belongs there) and the whole feeling to it (why do I feel as if I mentioned all that before? xD") and it sure does deserve to be featured ^_^

I had to look carefully to see what nat was saying about minor flaws, but perspective can be challenging--especially when working on something like a skyline. I think I like the version with the pattern a little better, but both versions are just gorgeous!

Excellent vectoring! the picture looked fine. The free-falling styling made its best for the character. Even though the hand-made buildings are a bit abrupt with comparison with the cityscape background, it is still acceptable as the toning doesn't show much deviation. well, if there is a larger version of it (other than 1280*1024), i wil download it and make it as my wallpaper!

Nevertheless, where can I find the vector of the character in the wall? (inside animepaper or somewhere else?)

Concenrning that everything was drawn from scratch it is a great job, no doubt about that. The idea of adding depth by adding more buildings but fader behind the front row is a good idea, next time push this even further with giving it more contrast and a depth feel. Also the streetlightbulbs are a bit to hight/out of shape. Next time maybe Oke the main point, nat allready pointed out some stuff so i will skip those, except cant help point out to the non The skye background has good clouds and lightning distribution, could have maybe been even a bit more with a

This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.
