I love the spidery Tachikoma tanks. They're just so cute. I was actually tracing this scan in order to get more experience with the gradient mesh tool, but it's taking a long time and I decided to do something else with the outline in the meanwhile. It's like a CAD-CAM sketch of the Tachikoma, only if it were displayed on a screen with lots of little interactive bits you can navigate through. Translucency is your friend :) The background was made entirely from stock photos off of Stock Exchange. That's right, all stock photos, no Photoshop magic (except for the blending modes. And a little bit of color adjustment.) Thanks to w00t for sending me a tech sheet (I think it was originally Fey's but now I don't remember) that I used for the techie bits. Additional resolutions available at DA! Desktop Anime.
A possible entry for Vectorness' June contest: Cyberpunk/Sci-Fi challenge.

I like this! It is a little busy but it reflects the Tachikomas inner brain. I like the one color...like a metalic color...kind of. Alittle boring but I get the effect you are trying to get. Good job!

too cute! it reminds me of robot plans.. a powerpoint display thing! blue! info! dimensions! too cool!totally a favourite!

Awesome! A bit busy but also utilitarian (unlike some other walls which are good as images but there's just too much going on to be a good wallpaper), and... well, it's a tachikoma! Who can resist them? *downloads*

Huurah! Tachikoma! Nice wall man, I love the techie schematic look.

This is really excellent! I really love the Tachicomas and I'm sad they aren't shown as much in the second series. But this wallpaper makes up for it. Now if you could just do a Fuchikoma one in red.....

I love the color and the detail on the backgroud.
6 years, 11 months ago
Wow, this is a nice wallpaper. I love the concept, but maybe that's just because Tachikomas are awesome. The colors were a bit plain, but I can see where you're going with it. I just wish I could see more of the BACK background, ya know, the darker blue one. I thought I would add another shade of blue. Of course that's being picky. It really is a great wallpaper. Nice Job.

I think it is good for what it is. Very good detail. It is a good pic of a sci-fi blue print.
I don't like it as a wallpaper, however. It reminds me too much of work, but I guess that is my problem.

neat tachikoma blue prints. how long did it take you to make it? i know it takes awhile just to make a simple cad design.
6 years, 10 months ago
Awesome!!! It looks so cool! The colours, textures, gradients-it's just great! +fave!
6 years, 10 months ago
Impressive. It must've had taken a lot of effort to put this together.

Looks good but the blankish boxes on the right don't quitle look right....maybe they need to be filled in with more text? Or maybe expanded technical drawings with text?

Good 1680x1050 wallpapers are hard to come by, great work with this one! I'm not a big fan of the Tachikomas, but this is a very good one. Hopefully, more widescreen wallpapers are to follow for Stand Alone Complex.

I love how this wall is cluttered with stuff, yet since the colors a re soft (at least to me), you can use it as a 'working desktop' wallpaper. Not that I plan to use it like that, I don't like icons in my desktop;)

Very nice! I really like this one especially because it looks like a screen already so it's a perfect background.

Great wallpaper. I like very much the tachikomas, they give the series that point from humor and they contribute big scenes in a lot of chapters.
