Fly... by °Phill 2 months 2 weeks ago

^nat

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.

Came across this Carnelian scan on AP by `sakuraneko a while ago and had a wallpaper idea floating around in my head, hopefully I pulled it off. The ivy brushes were by midnightstouch over at Deviantart, and helped me cut down the time spent on this greatly. Overall it took about a week and over 100 layers (stopped counting after 120 :P).

I put a lot of effort into this, so I hope someone out there likes it ^_^.

Okay, ignoring the fact that I completely despise carnelian (and I really do) I think the concept for the wall is pretty. I usually don't comment on wallpapers with the artwork.
I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of detail in the larger ivy though. Things like folds in the leaves. The smaller stuff looks nice, but the larger stuff...leaves some to be desired. I rather like the water, although I wish it was a bit more glass like as opposed to having ripples aded jut to try and make it look like water.
Overall I'm a bit confused by the lighting. I'm really not sure where it's coming from. I'm a lighting whore, so I guess it probably only bothers me.
I also feel the scan is too soft for the background.
I know backgrounds like this are hard to pull of though, so I give you kudos for at least trying.
Yes, i'm picky, but we all knew that already, didn't we.
I think the concept is lovely, I just think some more detail should have been paid attention to things.
And boy do I wish it wasn't carnelian, but I'm completely aware that it's personal preference.

You should put up a direct link to the original scan so people could compare better...but I love this, the background is lovely, I'm loving the collums and the waterfall as well. great work.

Oh wow .. the scan it was used .. =3 ...

well yay to this then , i had a similar concept in my mind but didn't think i could execute it well enough so there you go ..thanks for putting into action what i couldn't great work though but for me . the scan compared to the background is soft , it would enhance the wall if the pillars carried that same soft feel.. ah well ... it's still a great wall none the less :P

Wow this totally a nice sanctuary.
and yup! the scan is beautiful too!
i like how you did on bg! the pillars are greatly done!
also the water and its ripples.
but i have a same comment as Kalico said. the bg needs more details
like the leaves which i like it since the placement is nice though it need more
color or shading because it looks too plain, next is the back of the bg, well
i'm not sure if that is a waterfalls but i like the grainess also the flowing of water
but i guess the lighting is a bit bright and lasty the scan though i like the scan
used but it would be nice if you can make it a bit darker or some parts are
bright since the whole wall is a bit darker as said in your title it is hidden.
well that's all! overall i love you concept + the ripples are just awesome!
+fav! for the ripples dood!

The background looks beautiful, the lake, the pillars, even the waterfalls look nice, though the waterfalls' color could be just a bit darker, to make them a bit less bright. The character looks very good too, she fits to the background well. Very nice wallpaper.
