Fly... by °Phill 1 month 1 week ago

^nat
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.

I like how the light gives it a dramatic effect, it is very manga-ish with that effect to show surprise... It's kinda empty though.
I wonder what did go on in the manga at this time ^^;

Remove the odd light highlights and try making a good bg. The scans really looks interesting to work with

I agree with Chaz. The lighting is unnecessary and seems to be more designed to cover up a so-soish scan. Vectoring this would probably take it a long way. Good job on the coloring though. There's great potential here.

Nice job with the coloring, but I think it really needs a background. The lighting makes it a little dramatic, but it doesn't really work with nothing else there. I don't know what is happening in the scene, as I haven't gotten that far yet (I'm really interested to find out now! >.<;) but maybe put them in a background that is similar to the scene they were in at the time this actually took place. Hope that helps. ^^

The two characters look fine. May want to do a bit more cleaning for them though. :o There are tiny groups of specs that make it kind of grainish looking. Erasing a bit of those would be no problem right? :P Well as for the background and foreground. It does match, but it doesn't look that good. D: Sorry. The girl is acting as if she's very surprised. Maybe if you could add a background where there are sakura trees and sakura tree pedals are falling? The background itself is calm but the attention from the character suddenly changes because of the mood shown. Well, that's a suggestion I thought of just now. Hope that helps. Good luck on improving the wallpaper. :)

Woah! So much fuzzy noise! >.<;;; I have to say I liked the first scan/cging much better. The background seems pretty good though. I'd like to see it with the cg redone. ^^

...for textures I look for stock photo of textures on sxc.hu and play around with layer transparencies/overlay effects... definitely get rid of the noise, it looks ok for the background but bad for the characters...

Wow, fuzzy. It reminds me of my television when it isn't working. It kind of gives me a feeling they were in a dungeon of some sort.. but I'm still not really getting the whole idea behind this background. It's also a little plain. Perhaps you need to add more texture?
