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.

Back with another wall...may be my last one depending on how well I sort out my life...

anyways I saw a figurine of Mina Majikina with a really dynamic pose and I wanted to paint something because portfolios for animation and illustration were killng me and I needed a relief valve of some sort (portfolio drawings are dull as hell). I've never really played the game, but the pose was too good to pass up, so I had the whole concept in my head and sketched in on a thumbnail before proceeding digitally. the sakura trees are there because I read somewhere that she fought in a sakura garden or something like that. I started with basic structure (gesture drawing and all that crap) then began to build it up into a silhouette and fill in the the midtones, and the lighting and all that crap...

you know what...a picture is worth a thousand words...and I've got 10 of them

bah...yea hopefully that speaks for itself...and yes I like to half-ass my backgrounds because I lack skill, so I don't bother much with it...

I was going to add arrows but my comp couldn't handle it anymore; the brush strokes were taking 15 minutes to register and the compressed RIFF was about 170megs and the mem usage on the task manager was registering 890000kb for Painter IX.exe...

btw the whole thing was done in Painter IX and is my second time using this program...I'm trying to ween myself from photoshop...

Big thanks to DaDong for not complaining about my bitching about my computer, and also for bitching to me about how unsexy Mina looks >_>...oh yea...and the comments and criticisms too...

I won't uploaded any other resolutions right now (computer problems)...If you want a different resolution just post it in the comment and I'll see what I can do

more resolutions will be available sometime in the not-so-near future here

well...uh...bye...

EDIT: Fixed links...srry 4 AM isn't a great time for me

EDIT 2: I found the pic I used for ref

I really don't know who she is and don't know if she fought in a sakura garden.All I know is that this is a great wall and for this is the first wall that I will set on my new wide-screen monitor.+fav

That's a gorgeous wall but there are some things that bother me and I am sure that you're skilled enough to fix.
It's obvious that the trees are hand-made, that's not the problem anyhow. They are too plain. I mean no details. No shadows on the barks or the sakura leaves. You should try adding highlights and shadows on both the leaves and the wood.
And something else, the hand-made text should be smaller and on the down corner somewhere. It kinda ruins this fantastic wall.

You suck, those links from imageshack don't work. You suck...

Second time using the program? Dang. Tell me... WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE SECRETS FROM ME?! IT'S LIKE WE'RE NOT EVEN CONNECTED ANYMORE YOU AND I...

*sobs and whines some more*

Anyway about the wall, same as the above. Could use some highlights and details, but that's a killer pose indeed and you deserve an A for effort. (Remembers the time a friend received an A for effort for running after a bus for a good block and a half...)

Nice job illustrating, I like the dark gray with the hot pink, cool contrast and good composition. Thanks for the widescreen too!

First of all, you OWN for doing a wall of Mina. Second, this is by far the BEST Samurai Spirits wall I have EVER seen.

I have to say, it's very interesting. The colors and how Mina blends in with them as well is very interesting..but I have to say that I really like it. The angle is beautiful and the scenery is absolutely gorgeous. I must agree with you as well, the pose Mina is in..it's *________*.

Overall, everything just comes together so nicely and my only complaint is I can't put this on my desktop cause I use 1280 x 1024 :(. That and the text just doesn't seem to fit too well, though this could be mostly because I am a textless guy. Either or, this wall is amazing. Favorite for me :).

Hey there,

These are the type of wallpapers I'd like to see more of here at AP. It has a rough yet beautiful textured feel to it. You were right on the money for the pose. Very dynamic and must say awesome work on the painting. Wish I was that good at drawing still XD. I enjoy your work very much and this piece is no exception. The black and white is an interesting way to go about it however I wish a little bit more color in the lighting was added. To each his own right? You are an inspiration for me to keep pushing with my drawing again. Thank you for sharing. +Fav

TTFN - Ta ta for now.

That wallpaper is very interesting. At first I wasn't sure it would be too great...but I really like it! That type of art is just amazing to me. I really have respect for those that can do it.
In other words I think you freaking rock for doing something so stunning.
Thank you for sharing!

Really nice wall but the character's not my cup of tea. The backround however is great.
