a very simple quikc vector i did of a scan of motoko. i decided to put only some level of detail in some parts like the face and the crane, then make the rest of the figure just black.

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. :)
6 years, 3 months ago
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!
6 years, 3 months ago
Yes, why purple? XD
6 years, 3 months ago
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.
6 years, 3 months ago
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!!
6 years, 3 months ago
Simple, yes, but it so effectively captures and distills the mood of the scene. Lots of icon space. =D Well thought out and executed!
6 years, 3 months ago
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.
6 years, 3 months ago
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

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 =).
6 years, 3 months ago
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!
6 years, 3 months ago
very simple, and quite pretty crapmonster. i love most of your stuff, keep up the good work!
6 years, 3 months ago
This is awsome! Beatiful. I needed something new. I had to add it to my favorite.
6 years, 3 months ago
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.
6 years, 2 months ago
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!
6 years, 2 months ago
That's a pretty good wall of the Major. I especially like the way the colors were used. Thanks for posting.

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.

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 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!

[i][u]SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL. Great job! It's my current desktop bg.
5 years, 10 months ago
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.
5 years, 10 months ago
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

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 !
5 years, 9 months ago
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!
5 years, 9 months ago
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.
5 years, 9 months ago
It may be a quick vector, but it came out mad nice. I also like the whole crane and the Major concept.
5 years, 9 months ago
Looks simple at first glance, but very effective. The solid black and purple serve to highlight her face, fingers, and the crane. Very nice.
5 years, 9 months ago

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
5 years, 7 months ago
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!

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.

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!
5 years, 2 months ago
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.

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 ...
4 years, 10 months ago
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
4 years, 9 months ago
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
