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.

Hey Everyone.
Here's the brief. This is my first wallpaper that i have ever made. I found an interesting scan here on AP. I would like your opinions if you have any with what i could do with it. Also how do you think it looks.

Here's the link

The link didn't work. when you upload it, copy either the url or the link that says 'forms1'

Extraction needs some work, since I can still see some white leftovers. Also try to clean up the scan a bit at the moment it's too grainy.

Much better ;P

i don't see the white edges that jack was talking about, or the graininess. the scan actually looks pretty good to me. maybe a bit too saturated (the skin is so bright it hurts the eyes ;P). i like the text (maybe move it up just a tad). guess my only issue is with the bg, only a big blob of blood doesn't seem like it's enough. also, i'm not sure i like the blood. definitely do a search on blood brushes, see what else is out there.

good start though :)

No it doesn't work, you have choosen the wrong code type from imageshack. Use the 'Thumbnail for forums (1)' code instead.

Though i will say i could view my pic through the other one.

chibicrystal, Thanks for the advice so far. I was wondering if you have any suggestions as how to tone down the brightness of the characters. I worked on this for most of today and have forgotten how i brightened them up this much. I will look into more Blood brushes to see if there are any that give me a better effect for the wall.

Anyone else reading this. All oppinions are welcomed.

Um post the "thumnail for forum" url here will be better,
anyhow,
they are too bright^^
as to how to get them to fit darker with the bg,
probably go to the scan and put another darker layer on top and lower the opacity, or play with the option of that bar there, you know, the one with "normal, dissove, and stuff" ...

but as for the bg
as you can see here,
http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/wallpapers/Blood-Plus/
this kind of scan with this kind of idea and char on the right side and blood like things on the bg
has been done a numerous of times, so
i really like Blood + and
i would love it if you can do an amzing and creative wall bg

C: goodluck

About making their skin darker i got some tips. but this is on photoshop so if you got something else, bad luck. the easiest way of doing this is probaly by just darkening the whole picture but this will look bad so i say you go to image>adjustments then you choose selective color, there you choose whites then you mess around there a bit, just watch the egdes of the cellocase, hey might change color to if you dont watch urself. or you choose rplace color in adjustments and press with the eyedropp tool on the color you wanna change and mess there 2.
