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.

The only scan in this picture is uhara, and this image is meant to have scratches and such to give it a more rustic feeling. The image of uhara was cleaned, i overlayed different textures, to give the "sewed" look. Was meant to have a canvas feeling it, like canvas painting but not just quite.

The idea of this image is meant to be moody/dark that is why the limited colour use, but probally right with the grass part. Blur? ...you mean the fog section around the grass? Hmmm i think, i will redo the entire thing and start from scratch.

Nooo, don't do that! Your wallpaper looks just fine to me! I'm guessing AoiroxShoujo didn't quite catch the general mood of the wallpaper, nor your intention...

The only thing I think your wallpaper needs is some text -- but be careful, some very good wallers mess up at that. Try not to make it stand out to much, maybe give it the same blending effect as your signature, and be careful where you place it [generally, one of the lower corners would be my suggestion]. If you don't want to add text, you can submit it as it is, I like it a lot!

Yeap i agree... ytou shouldnt change anything, except maybe a little bit the dark colors, maybe if you put it a little biot more brighter will look better, and yes im sure that with a text on the wallpaper it will look awesome!
hope this helps! keep working on it and improving it!
good luck!*:)

I like the scrachy feeling, very nice. work on the grass i see the end of some of them (duh the brush is not suppost to have roots, but fix it up maybe add some blades so it covers it)

*sigh* Hello,

Ok this is a great wallpaper however I feel a few things can be adjusted and it'll be nearly perfect.

- Tone down your texture over the wallpaper. I like the effect however its to present. Lower the opacity some more where you can barely see it but its there.

- The brush work in the clouds is alright. I can see you were going for a grunge touch however I don't think you need those. I'd recommend just getting rid of those.

- You can see some of the bottoms of your grass brush. Not that great to see. What I'd recommend it masking some that are showing bottoms to give it an impression its fading into a darker area. Plus the grass closer to the camera is a bit bright. I'd recommend darkening those since that won't be in that much focus anyways just keep some green there to allow the viewer to see that its more grass in the foreground.

I hope you find any of my suggestions helpful. Awesome too ;). Definately want to fave this when you submit it lol.

Have a nice day.

Looks great , and i agree dont go and redo the wall . Just lighten up the scan a little , and yeah some text would be nice in a grunge type text , a word , or words to sum up the mood . Also you need to add your sig .

Wow, really nice! I wouldnt do better :D Only problem I see is that it's a bit dark. I would light up some parts like urahara's face etc. Bigger size would be nice too.

Uhm make a thread and post a link to your wallpaper so people can critique it.

Okay so i am redoing my entire grass thing, because one of the comments i got from the mods that the gras was to naff (whatever that means).

Also redoing the fireflies, and lessening the textures. This wallpaper is still in progress, I am currently testing out new grass brushes. Have a mix of grass brushes here around 5-6 grass brushes incoperated in this image. More tone in the grass now, i think. Still nowhere near what i want from the wallpaper though, but working on it on and off.

And sorry no higher resolutions, unlesss i just redo the entire thing (never intended to make a wallpaper, so i started at 1024)

http://www.hitsuzen.nl/banner/take-a-strollrevision.jpg

Like i said work in progress, want to hear some reactions at the "new"grass brushes and such :) i try and use the input here.

ps. Dont worry i still have the other version, but feeling slightly in a experimenting mood.

Hello,

Wow, the grass looks A LOT better. Nice work. Hmm...now your lighting seems to be heading in a bad direction now >.<.

- I can see you have his shadow against the grass but it just doesn't look right because he is so dark and the grass around him seems so much lighter. I'd either lose the shadow or brighten your character up some more to make to light source more viable.

Other than that I don't see much else. Nice work and keep it up ;).

Have a nice day.
