Motoko: AFFECTION

Wow this is so nice. Motoko looks so cool. I love how you used the blue and purple it looks so pretty. I just saw this episode the other day and it made me cry and this wall suites it so much. Excellent.

*adds to favs*

Think you can guess what I think of this wall already...

...color scheme love XD

haha... wow, it doesnt seem simple to me the face looks very detailed and precise i guess the colors are pretty simple the wallpaper looks great, nice nice! 0_0

NOOOOOOOOOOO i was going to do this. oh well you beat me to it. =/

looking good,

very awesome wall, good use of the purple-ness indeed. ^_^

Awesome! The vectorwork is just flawless and utterly detailed. Simple and crisp for the win...

Worthy of a fav.

looks sweet ^_^

I love it when everything but the face (and in this case, the crane and the hand) is flat. It's such a good way to direct attention. I'm glad I decided to full-view it, it was worth the wait, XD.

simple but complex, i love the concept, i love the colors and the trace is excellent, very good work

this is a very good wall. :)

Jeez, I always wanted to wall this but always got scared by the damn finger, lmao. You did a good job at it though, I just wish the background colour wasn't purple but like uhm... blue? or light blue. Then it would seriously own.

You still win 3 internets!

Yes, why purple? XD

Pretty original thinking there, and you have very interesting color choices. My only gripe is that her hands are too blue/purple, I think they should match the color of her face.

waaaaaa :D what do you mean a "simple quick vector"??! I love the color combinations, they set each other off very effectively, and the vectoring is awesome. sharp, clean, smooth... flawless!!

Simple, yes, but it so effectively captures and distills the mood of the scene. Lots of icon space. =D Well thought out and executed!

Nice. I really like the choice of colors you made for this one. Love the high contrast between the black and the purple, very eye-catching.

that's sexy =O motoko is always sexy tho xD but ur vector here is really nice :D all smooth and shiny (i sound retarded) lol dunno what else to say but good job :D

......i just found muhself a new desktop wallpaper >xD

nicely vectored there mate hopefully i get as good as u one day :)~ great wallpaper but as others have quoted choice of bg color lets it done a tad well done (as always)

I think iIm your big fan because your works is my addiction hehehe, always always lov your walls...keep it up!

When I see this piece I think: intriguing, simple, and nice.

The crane was a neat touch, though I'm not sure what it represents (I haven't seen this series yet). Clean vectorage, as usual =).

Wow, really nice vectoring! Simple style with colours that looks great. But I think it would've looked better if there was a background, like for example a city or something that might blend with the character. Well, that's my opinion. Still it's I love the vectoring. Really nice work!

very simple, and quite pretty crapmonster. i love most of your stuff, keep up the good work!

This is awsome! Beatiful. I needed something new. I had to add it to my favorite.

Wow. This fits Motoko's character more than most wallpapers I've seen done of her. It's simple, not particurly emotional at first glance, but the more you look at it the more you feel Motoko's inner struggle on what she is and what she was.

The inclusion of the paper crane is a particularly nice touch.

Very nice! I love the crane in the picture- reminds me of an episode that aired recently, involving the little boy with the cranes... There's a unified feel over the wallpaper, and the color choice adds to the overall effect. Great job!

That's a pretty good wall of the Major. I especially like the way the colors were used. Thanks for posting.

Looks very nice, I like the color scheme and the crane ^^

Nice, sleek look. I like the choice of colors too ^^!

Simple, but beautiful enough. The crane is a nice detail to it, and an appropiate choice of color scheme. Good job.

Just like that other cel trace of Motoko, awesome work, nice clean lines and expandability with the clean black edge in case i need to reformat it for my widescreen.

sweet.

In a word: Perfection.

I don't see a single thing I would have changed about this wallpaper. It is simply that good. Amazing color, even when there isn't that much color in the actual pic. Amazingly contrast all throughout the image. I could praise this all day... this is so far the #1 wallpaper I have seen here.

*drools*

Gorgeous.

I think you could have added more colors to this wallpapers but the rest is alrigth. good work.

Nice

Wow. Thank you for such a beautiful image of Motoko lost in reflection!

I love this wallpaper cause the colors are plain random and I like random. It's so cool and yeh totally a favorite. Would of been better if you put some other effects in it, seems a bit too simple to me but still kicks ass for me. *adds to favorite*

This a wonderful wall of Mokoto, the colors just blend so well as does her scan. Also I like the little paper bird she flying into her hand, that's a cute little touch. Nice job and instant fav.

I saw a large picture of a painting (I think) of this on www.dannychoo.com - It just looks so good, I like the depth and her sensitive expression on this wall, Good job!

I love the colors and also I love motoko! what else can I say??? to my favourites right now!!!!

i loved the same thing of other people here... the combination of colors was wonderful!! another one to my favs... ;-)

I have this image, albeit a small scan of a piece of GitS:SAC merchandise, but it doesn't look nearly as lovely as this image you have presented. The colors contrast yet compliment eachother. I cannot say anything that hasn't already been expressed.

It's very simple and very, very lovely.

Ah I remeber this, in the ep when she found her old child hood body. This is very nice. I like.

Sweet wallpaper, I love the simplicity. Not as busy as some of the other GOTS walls out there. I do question the background color choice, though this may just be personal preference.

I love the simplicity and directed emphasis in this one, especially the attention paid to the crane, but that's 'cause I am an origami nut. Nicely done!

Dude, this is a realy nice wallpaper. It's "simpel" and clean.. just like it should be.. very nice.

her gaze is so nostalgic... i just love the colors! especially the blue, which reminds me of the original gits movie.

great work! ^^*

Simply beautiful ! :D She looks kinda sad , nice choice of pinkish color too

very good. it is a anther face we can see from Motoko from ghost in the shell. It is a shame the background was one color. good!! ^^

[i][u]SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL. Great job! It's my current desktop bg.

You did a great job on the vector. I just think the background color should be a different color because the "purple" color isn't really doing it for me.

A bit dark but still great GITS Stand Alone Complex 2nd GiG wallpaper. Big plus for this big, 1600 x 1200 px resolution version. Adds to favoruites, like all Motoko wallpapers around here since major is great :P

Motoko *_* I love you motoko, I love you crapmonster! Nice wallpaper ^^

Simple and nice ! And I also like the " Ghost in the shell " very very much ! Thanks you can give us this wonderful wallpaper , it is really a good artwork !

This is an excellent wallpaper that should be on the hard drive of all Ghost in the Shell fans. I love how you limited your color pallet to make Makoto fit with the purple background. My favorite part is the origami crane that is floating there, almost symbolic of Makoto's struggle with her situations in the series...I salute your work!

I actually went ahead and changed this immage a little bit after grabbing it. Don't misunderstand, the background is fantastic. Purple is a bit much for me to constantly look at so I replaced it with a deep blue color. I think it looks better, but to each his or her own. But thank you for making this background, it's really fantastic.

It may be a quick vector, but it came out mad nice. I also like the whole crane and the Major concept.

Looks simple at first glance, but very effective. The solid black and purple serve to highlight her face, fingers, and the crane. Very nice.

Love the colors. and it isn;t too over complicated like a lot of walls, jsut simple and clean. very nice ^_^

I really like! I think the colors chosen are great, especially the purple background.

It doesn´t seems to be simple!!! it is great!!! cool color choices, really a good one!!! Thanks for upload it!

Stunning

simply, stunning

Like they say, there is beauty in simplicity

This is probably my most favorite

Amazing job Seriously, keep up the good work!!!

+fave

This is the coolest GIS wall I've seen so far! I absolutely love your colour palette and composition.

A+!

^_^ Very nice. It's awesome. Definitely one of my fav's.

One of my favorite episodes... This is so simple, yet I find it really beautiful. Motoko's expression has some very deep emotions coming through... This is perfect

*hugs* Amanda

It's nice to see Motoko showing this kind of emotion for a change... Even though it's simple, your wallpaper is one of the few ones out there that actually 'say' something [hope you understand what I meant... right now, my English is not that bright ^_^'].

Adding it to my favorites right away!

AWESOME S.A.C. FTW!!

I think I'm starting to gravitate towards simplicity with my wallpaper preferences, and I wish I could see more like this. Too many walls have these crazy 3D geometric backgrounds - this is a good change of pace.

this is cool you can see that she is thinking of her past when she was a child. ^_^

I LOVE THIS WALLPAPER . It has Affection written all over it, I also love that episode =D +fav! Its really sweet and i like the colors. Simplicity rocks.

well its very minimalistic :> i like it:> background is a bit plain but here it looks just perfect ;)

It's confined to just a handful of colors, yet it expresses so much.

Nice... Except for the purple touch

Very good Love it

Really cool, the colors are great, and the picture is beautiful :]

simple is good

This wallpaper is very stunning! ^-^ She has always been a beautiful character and this wallpaper really is beautiful! The subtle colors that were used really show off her...well I don't know it's just a really pretty picture! +Favorite

This wallpaper is awesome,I like the colors and the scan you used in it. I also love the nostalgic expression in Motoko`s face. Two thumbs up!

Wow simply fantastic!I don't know what other words matching this wall.It's a perfect wall,I love the simplicity,the colours,the vector,amazing job!

I love it +Fav! ^_^

Really love it!! :)

Wow, great vector! And Motoko looks so beautiful in this scan =]

To some people the title and image mean nothing, or perhaps they see the emotion on her face and understand however, having seen the episode I personally think that this wallpaper is wonderful and if you intended to capture the meaning behind that episode you did a great job. Thumbs up!

Wow, the character looks so mysterious. I love the dark colors. The detail shadows on her face and hand looks so nice. It doesn't look out of place. Her black hair blends with her clothes looks good to me. I like it.

Talk about STYLE! Pretty impressive considering half the wall is solid black. @_@

Can't say I like the purple, but the rest is great.

Aweeesome work Keep it up

The background is a high contrast to her profile. Very nice.

aaahhh!!! I love the simple black with the minute detail @___@ and makoto looks to pretty here too!

lovely job!

It's been long. Just a little more. It seemed like it'd freeze so I closed my eyes.

About how much have your thoughts increased? What shapes are the words you write with? Will this feeling reach you? No one knows for sure.

But please tell that person that "The power I firmly believe in is here."

It's been long. Just a little more. It seemed like it'd freeze so I closed my eyes. As long as I don't care about anyone, the season I've been eagerly awaiting goes by.

Now I do what I should do. If you're at peace then you should smile.

Please tell that person that "Near or far, I'll be by your side."

It's been long. Just a little more. I'm bathed in warm sunlight. I've been enduring it, like I can't lose only to myself. It's been long. Just a little more. I'm bathed in warm sunlight. If I said that I wasn't lonely during the time we spent apart, I'd be lying.

It's been long. Really soon. I want to bathe in warm sunlight. I've been enduring it, like I can't lose only to myself. It's been long. Really soon. I want to bathe in warm sunlight. I think that I'm not the only one who's been wanting to be together.

GREAT WALLPAPER~~MANY THX~~^^

Strange color for a very nice result

ouu as SirBoingal0t said, I found myself a new desktop wallpaper too xD nice one :)

To Tell the Truth,I Think Kusanagie Motoko is not Beautiful but She Has Impressive Feeling Nobody Cannnot Forget Her. This Wallpaper is Filled with Simple and Clean Sence. What are Her Wishes in the Folded-Paper Crane and Her Eyes? Thanks for Your Good Work.

Its so nostalgic ...

I really like this a lot, probably becuase it was from my favourite Episode from GITS (Err.. Or reminds me of meh fav Ep @_@) and becuase the colours and all, very good wall. ^^ You make Motoko look even smexier! xD It's awesome. :D

Certainly this is something else! Typically when a wallpaper is dominated so obviously by one color undoubtedly the image leaves much to be desired. This however, is a surprising exception!

The vector of Motoko is masterfully done. The shadows, with their particular coloring scheme of various shades of blue give this minimalist piece fantastic depth and a unified look. The details, while ceratinly the miniority of this piece in relation to the black, are exceptionally done, notably the paper crane, her gloves/fingers and most striking to me, Motoko's eyes.

The only issue I have with the quality of your wallpaper are some artifacting issues around the hair and hand areas, which aren't overly obvious, but become more visible upon closer inspection. It's only a minor gripe though and I'm not trying to downplay this wallpaper in any fashion, I just thought you'd like to know.

Certainly you've managed to capture Motoko's character from the Stand Alone Complex series, the sensitive side that usually takes a backseat to the commanding exterior that she normally displays.

Great wallpaper, thanks for your efforts! +Favorite

fantastic vectored work...the moment i saw it i froze !!!

so well done...colour..expression...subject...contrast... *thumbs up*

typhoon

ok i wans't a member of AP when you did this... but lately i keep looking at it ... even though it's an old wall.. i love it... so i need to +fav it ..lol... now i can rest in peace xD .. awesome wall.. (and even though i hated close face shots as wallpapers.. this wall makes me wanna make a close shot wallie.. lol... and i will soon xD ..)

Awesome coloring in this wall! I love the blue shadows! They match the image and background so well. The vector is simple, but fits into the wallpaper so well. Great job, and keep up the good work!

Great wall! Would've gone with a paler color for the background. But it still looks awesome!

nice vector work ^^ +fav

This is one of my favorite walls here! I really love this style and want to make a wallpaper similar to it - a vector with the bold colors and contrast. It's very striking and effective. Thanks for the inspiration. ^_^

I love this wallpaper! She finally folded a crane. |(n_n)|

Too bad we don't see more GitS walls with "orizuru" theme. Really like the wall >> in particular (for some reason) the rather bright blue shadow on the Major's body and th origami tsuru.

This one is my favorite GitS wallpaper of all time.. beautiful Motoko, love the petals, origami crane, and the colors.. her expression is wistful and it seems like she is recalling a boy and his origami maybe? ;) Top notch work.. thank you so much!

Amazing. Wow. The crane origami is cute....

Motoko is one of my favorite anime characters and this wall paper is a great presentation of her. great work.

Your minimalism and choice to create heavy shadow really pulls the emotion together. Well done.

The way yo manage the purple and motoko face its incredible, very original

Wow, I remember that episode. I used it to relearn how to fold an origami crane and then to do it one handed. This wall really captures the emotions from that whole plot-line of the show.

Even though it is so simple it is beautiful. I love the vector and the colors. Beautiful.

Simple, stylish, and sexy. It's quite simple but it has a very attractive elegance to it as well.

Thanks for such a beautiful wall! :)

This is impossible not to love! I adore the negative space that sets off the finer details and shading. The high contrast and color choices are spot on~ Thanks for creating this!

Wow, through a minimalist style you managed to capture the emotion of this image perfectly. Amazing work.
