Fly... by °Phill 1 month 1 week 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.

Made that sound like a math question =P... @Iro: It went good, it was fun because a lot of people called in to ask questions and I even got to talk about my favorite baseball team for a bit =). I'm just very sleepy though, so I wasn't as energetic.

I think it's chosen by the artists...doesn't really have a spec.

(You mean the img or the img in rotation that is always there on the top of every page right? If so then.....)

Hmm... I have wondered about them too. But as far as my knowledge goes, i think they are taken from good wallpapers which have been submitted in the AP gallery. They put the banners there according to the appropriateness that the wall can create in that position/situation. I can say this because multiple times i have observed the same img or 'screenshot' or a part of a wall that i have seen in the gallery. And sometimes they also have the waller's name/sig on them.

So my guess is that they come only from walls that have already been submitted in the gallery some time in the past. I can't think of any other reasons though.

But i could be wrong though!

Warm regards,
The Firestorm

It alternates from time to time. The only one I've recognized to far was the Fruits Basket one with Tohru, Yuki, and Kyo.

There are some that i don't recognize, but the ones i know are all anime characters, and i think that they were specially made for animepaper banner.

I think for the most part they are just parts of wallpapers that users posted and it changes randomly also they seem like well known animes too such as One Piece, Air, etc

I think they're from the submitted scans, sorta made the same way the wallpapers are...Only smaller. I recognized one of Amy from Soul Calibur i, and one with Naruto, and another of Kiba from Wolf's Rain, but I don't know about the others...I also remember seeing a thread before about them, something about a contest for the site headers. I guess that's when site members know they can start creating those headers, for submission to and use on the site.

Since no one apparently was around when they did them, AP asked the art side of its community to make banners for it. The only specifications were that it had AP4 in the banner, as well as "the paper people" and an anime character. How the artists did this was up to them. I'm sure some are from scans or walpapers, but many were made specificly for the banner project. The good ones were selected by the staff, and those are the ones seen now.

...and no, no more submissions are going to be taken till version 5.


That's what I know.

I will save you some time if you are interested in mine with Omnidevil written at the far bottom left.
One with a girl who has a sword is Hatsuki from Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito.
the one with a girl with a book and looking straight at you in brown color is from To Heart 2
the one who is drinking tea, may have brown eyes and covered by a tree leaf is from Boyis.com
the one with a girl looking at the right is from Yui... something, just look at one of my walls with her in it.
The rest... likely from anime, chosen by respective artists, some are however not.

Well that is a good question,now I am seeing an image from Naruto.Well I think that all of them come from an anime series,manga,game,artist and that our problem is that we can't possibly know them all,right!I don't know but not all the images seem to be taken from a wall ,I mean I know that one time I looked for that image because I knew from which category she is and didn't find any wall with her!Anyway i think it was a good idea to change them from time to time!

I think is from the people who stayed here in animepaper the longest and people who has the most walls...
That's what i'm guessing...don't really know true//or maybe they copied "banner" from anime or so...weird i have no idea...

I saw Cloud from Final Fantasy, someone from Air, Haruhi from Haruhi Suzumiya no Yuutsu...Belldandy from Ah My Goddess...Azumanga Diaoh, Yotsubato...

So many...I love the banner(s) they use. =3

I'm guessing they are wallpapers that are featured on the main page. That's my only assumption, or some of them could be scans that were altered (like the Azumanga Diaoh scan I saw, which the red bubble was edited to read AnimePaper on it).
