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... -_-

Lol that is indeed a strange thing ive seen appear before here, lets ipod ore anime wallpaper frenzy. I am not into ipodwallpapers very much but my advice on this is to loose all the rest of the text except ikill. and size down youre signature ore make it a line of text cous this way its a bit to big and will distorte the wallpaper
good job and good luck

It's interesting and nice for your first wp. the scan with the ipod looks really neat. but there seems to be quite a few artifacts (noticable on the red). there's also way too much text for this kind of wall. get rid of pretty much all of it except the "ikill" text. the other stuff doesn't really make sense, plus the text along his arm isn't proper english (sorry).

and make sure when you eventually submit that the mods know that is your sig, they might not realize it and reject it because they think there isn't one there :)

Aaah thats the spirit, looks close to submission just would say fill the black up to 1 pattern of black cose here and there i see some black sprite pixel blocks. and maybe do the same for the red.
As for your signature make this 1 line with like the size of 12, it would be best if it would fall behind the startbar of windows. All people will see that it was submitted by you since it will be in youre profile and stuff so there is no need to go signature big on the wallpaper, just add a signature small enough to prevent ripping and to confirm it was made by you

Huge improvement ;) i agree with beckor, just make your sig alittle bit smaller. also, maybe center the title over the gun more? it's looking pretty good though.

Hmm i don't know if this is possible, but too me it looks like it would be better if you could sharpen the picture. Like, in the ipod theme everything is very clear and defined whereas in your wall it looks kinda rough and the lines aren't as crisp. You've got it down, but just this small thing would make it look at alot better imo.

Anyway, great work.

Hi, i'm back... I've been really busy lately so i took my time to fix a little bit the image and here is the result. I know that less text is good, however, in iPod walls is usual to find a music-related comment about the char. So I finish 2 versions. The "iKill" only and the "iKill+text"

I'll be submiting the +text version in a few hours. Unless somebody give me a good suggestion of some possible improvement...

Thx for reading. Plz comment

It looks good, but I'd rather stay with the normal version without additional text. Have you ever thought of making this nto a vector? The simple shape practically asks for it. This would have several advantages:
1. You could resize it without loss of quality (1024x768 is really small nowadays)
2. You would get rid of the pixel noise which i can still see inside the black areas.

Even if you don't want to vector it make sure that all colors are solid, or I'm sure it will get rejected if it's noticed.

I like version 2 without the extra text, also try to save it as a bmp file or windows file, so those discolor blury things created when saving in JEPG won't appear, so what am trying to say is that it will improve quality but use up more memmory, which is ok because your file is only 61kb, good job the wall looks awsome and funny.

Yep, i agree with the others. i like less text. i'm thinking (should you use the less-text version) that when you submit you could always link people the other version and just let them know that you like that one more. or vise versa, depending on how what you choose.

ya, the artifacts are still there but they're not as bad as originally. just brush over them real quick (same color red). that should help it for the most part.

I can see this darker red line on the bottom and top of the red section, is that supposed to be there?
i agree with chibicrystal, to definately go over it with brush, especially in between small spaces

c:I hope it gets accepted

Thx for the help and support people, i'll make a few more changes (thx Jack, chibicrystal and blu3angl) and submit it tomorrow. I prefered the +text versión, but i'll submit the other, and direct link to the +text version (that was my wall before i put the chibicrystal's autumn beauty).

I'll be back soon with my first tablet-made wall
