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.

Im in the very early stages of making my 3rd wallpaper, a Eureka 7 one. The only problem is that im not very familiar with the series! So any suggestions as to what Is appropriate etc are welcome.

Progress so far: http://img169.imageshack.us/my.php?image=stageonebabyuf2.png

Personally, I would never make a wallpaper for a series that I haven't seen in its entirety...but if you must, go to Youtube and watch the 1st and 4th (last) OPs for Eureka seveN (it's slight spoilage). They really capture the essence of the show.
Like all series, it's not perfect, but E7 is definitely a masterpiece (at least in terms of production value); this no one will deny. Try to catch it on Cartoon Network if you can.
P.S. I don't really like the screenshot you chose...to me, it's just aesthetically not flattering for Eureka...but it's what you want.

You really have some talent as an artist there, it needs hmmm colour and lots of it. I suggest look at wallpapers of the series on this site and the scan previews to get a good idea of the colours you sould use on their clothing. But so far wow and I havent seen the series either 8)E emoticon

Nice clean vector work
good job!
this is only half the battle:
will you stick to the original colour theme?
what sort of scenary would you put them in?
what sort of style would you put them in? Futuristic? mech-ness? or follow your last wallpaper style?
--
to the rest of the people who commented above:
Eureka 7 is a great mech / skyboard / love story series, and it is well worth the time and effort to get it and watch it. It is on the long side (50 episodes) The plot can be quite confusing at times (it took me 2 run to 80% understand it)

It's a pretty good vector, though some of the lines seem inconsistent to me. Maybe I'm just weird.

Other than that, it looks great. Though as already mentioned, I'd familiarize myself with the series first. That way if you want to turn it into something more than just a vector, you can make something that really catches the feel of the show.

Yeah, you may want to take the advice of everybody else and watch the series. I love the art too, and while I liked the original image this one was as a picture, I never felt that it fit the series. Eureka (left) reminded me a bit of Rei in Evangelion, but a Rei towards the end of the series when she was beginning to become happy and independent. Renton is you typical fly-by-the-seat of your pants type character, and in the pic, he looks down, depressed, etc. So yeah, watch the series, and maybe pick another pic (sorry, I see that you've worked on it for three days...quality is good though!)

Hey there,
Ive looked through the gallery here at the various E7 wallpapers and it looks to me like neither character on almost all of the walls that have them on, look happy (o_o) emoticon
So I'm going to stick by my guns for now.
I'll post an update soon!

Euh... Do you have any idea about how you gonna hide the fact that you don't have the full legs on here?

And what about the background?

I'm not going to use the full vector, So you wont see the leg area. If I do I'll Find a way to use the background to make it fit. Its still a work in progress mate, don't get ahead of yourself. I'm finishing the vector before I think about the background.
