Fly... by °Phill 2 months 2 weeks ago

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.

Most pointless argument. My coworker thinks that these walls and VECTORING is just easy and takes no talent... -_-

Yup! I'm back with a new project. This is my 3rd wall after all. Please take a look at them. There're 3 versions. Comments and critics are welcome :D

I'd like to know which one do you like better or may be you don't like them at all, just say it out. It's okay :)

I choose the 1st one, more focus on red.
make the wing more visible. and if you can make the character more smaller...i mean if i can see the body that will more better than just head...
just my opinion...

First or second version, not the third. as to which of the first two, i honestly don't mind if you somehow make the girl's head not look affected by the orange in the bg for the second version. so i guess as is, i'd go with the first version.

you've got a nice start, but i think you should go find a glitter brush that is less smokey and more glittery... perhaps dust in some stars while you are at it. glitter is not my style but i think i am okay at judging if it looks good or not. it's great to have shooting stars but consider varying their sizes. and speaking of the shooting stars, the one on the right near the bottom seems to have a cut off. the girl's hair also seems to be cut off. please look into that.

and the wings probably would look better if they were more prominent. but from what i can see, it doesn't seem to be completely smooth on the edges, but rather bumpy? anyway, problems with the wings will be more easily discerned once they are more visible.

and your sig is a tad on the big side.

so great start and keep up the nice work! :D

Okay! I'm done with 2nd remaking :)
Err... How to put it... Because I remade it so I can't get the exact colors as those first ones. I wonder how does it look like now? Well, I've changed the 'wing' style. Indeed, there're parts in those previous wings jagged or something 'untidy' so I decided to use another one. The jittery thing, I managed to change the brushes but I don't really know if it looks good >_<; The sig size was changed as well :)
Please check it out ^^

Hm, the new brush for the comets/falling stars is better, but the other glitter brush that you are using produces a kind of effect that looks like bits of fluff rather than crisp glitter. keep searching for that right glitter brush because it must exist, what with the number of walls i'd seen that have nice glitter in them. =P

i also think you can afford to make the colors in the bg stronger. currently, they are very soft and faded and whitish. make them darker and more saturated. or else that leaves only the girl's head to have true solid colors and that's a tad weird, in my humble opinion.

the new wings seem to have some angular edges though. look at the ends of the feathers. the angular-ness (of the extraction? is this a brush or an image that you extracted?) seems rather crude for the angelic impression that you are going for. as well, you are have aliasing problems with one of the wings behind the foremost one. (there are steps and disruptions in the normally smooth shape.) i'd also show a little of where the wing connects to her back instead of fading the wing so completely there. the wing doesn't seem connected to the girl's back if that part is invisible.

keep up the effort. ^^

I really like the colour use and the clarity of the figure has improved. :)
The left side looks a little empty and the wings dont appear attached to her back anymore, like they were in the first version.

Well you already have some comments soo i'm gonna talk only about the vector...
i can see some color going out of the black outlines... for example...
you need to fix her hair at the top of her head...
her neck on the right side...
her chin...
and if you look there are some jagged lines... on the back lines..
mostly on her hair on the right side and at the top...
and on her neck and back too...
goodluck!!... this is already looking good ^_^
kisses..

Okay, I'm back with some new ones :)
However, I have problems with the gradients, it seems that when I darkened those layers, the colors got jagged somehow or is it just my illusion? >_>... May I know how to fix that? *Please*
I posted the light version one as well so that you can compare them ^^

Background : I added some leaves there. Do they look weird somehow?? I haven't put the shooting-stars because I want to focus on the gradient first. After it's finished, those starry stuff will be my last final step :)

Character : It's vectored, Asa01 :)I tried to fix the jagged things but I noticed that the only visible jagged line is at the top of her hair. The wing style's changed, do I still have to change the style? (if it still looks odd) ^^;

Then, here they are :D

Well the link is not good... check it out... anyway i managed to see it...
Well i don't think that the leaves brushes are matching well.. cause they look low quality and jagged... if you compare them with your vector, the two things don't much...
So as a suggestion, try to find more detailed brushes or just vector those leaves...
About the wings... they look prettier.. but they are a bit blurry... and you have the same problem.. you need to fix that.. or just vector it..
goodluck!
kisses...

I've changed the style again (please bear with me, Clarings, Asa01 and the others because I want to try every possiblity that I come up with). Applying this new style, I managed to fix the gradient problems and the wings blurriness somehow. But if it looks bad to you, I'll switch back to te previous style :)

Clarings-san, I fixed some of the lines but I don't really know if it's jagged again (please tell me more about the exact spots. Sorry if I'm troubling you >.<")
I've repaired those links, I'm sorry about that. *bows*

This's the new one (feel free to drop comments and suggestion about the colors I'm supposed to use).

The wings look odd to me. They're pixelly and blurry.

The wings should be in front of the trees, they look more like they're part of the background and not part of the girl.

The stars at the bottom are a bit blurry.

The tree doesn't seem like a real background to me.

The vector itself is great, but the lines are a bit jagged, too.

(All my sentences begin with "the")

I can't wait to see the next revision.

Nice try!...
First, about the vector...
You need to fix the shape colors at the top of her hair, and on her hair on the right side... Also fix the black outlines in the same places.. (top, and right of her hair) cause they look a bit jagged.. Everything else seams fine...

About the wings.. i like a lot their shape... but they look too blurry to fit with your vector... so why don't you try vectoring them on top of the brush? and add them to the back of the character..

About the background.. the tree idea is nice.. but the tree itself looks a bit low quality.. also you need to send it to the back (an not place it over her wings)...

An idea for the background.. is to make a dark blue night scene with a moon on the right side.. and some stars around... You can keep the tree but you need to fix it.. or find another tree brush... (or maybe you can try to stick with the pink/violet colors, in that case put a dark violet as a back (near to the black color)... you can also add some clouds if you want...

Goodluck!!
Keep up, i like the vector a lot!! she looks soo sweet!!

The colors are great but the wing kinda odd to me..I don't really understand about designing cause I'm still amateur now. >_< But the colors are good..Maybe you could do something about the wings..
