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.
This took me about a 3 days. Yeah, not much a tech with photoshop I made way to many layers, over 40 I give of take a couple, just to add the sides in since the scan didn't go as far as 1280. I just like the scene portrayed in the scan and since no one used it I decided to give it a try.
Hmm i dont know wat to say o__O its a very interesting looking wallpaper *scratches head* although i'm really picky about wallies which are very centered in view point @__@ i like to look for different view points hehe dont mind me xD the background could be brought out a bit more =3 it seems a bit blurry to me maybe a bit of vectoring could help ^_^

This is rather.. different from the wallpapers that I have been seeing lately. Not that it is a bad thing, mind you. I like the way you presented the wallpaper. I think I remember seeing this wallpaper awhile back in Session Zero, and it has gotten the upgrade that it needed. The wallpaper doesn't look as grainy as when you first started, so I'll give you kudos for that. Now, it is just a tad blurry. Also, the writing on the walls are quite difficult to see. Still, much better than the original. Nice work.
Cute scan and pretty background
The font fits in quite well also, and the whole thing actually makes it look better.
I don't know why but i can't imagine what is the real meaning of this wall +__+.
But it is cool. Good choise in image
This is really nice! The only thing I dislike is the fact that the background is pretty blurry, but if the source image was like that there's not much you can do. Other than that it looks really nice. I like it. ^__^
It's really hard to find wallpapers of Spike that I like ^^. The pressing atmosphere that is surrounding him (the walls, so to speak) it's pretty good (reminds me of the ending of the series.) and it's not overcrowded, so it goes easy on the eyes. I like this wallpaper, When I'm feeling like smoking a cigarette (which i don't do, horrible habit) i'll just put this wall on my desktop ^^. Keep up the good work!
Wow this is a very well done perspective wallpaper! Nice work. I love how you took so much effort into making the little details important like the graffiti on the walls. :)
This is a nice wall because as you said the scan's never been using, it's Spike in a pensive kind of moment which I love. I think more of the graffiti on the walls should of popped out but regardless of that I love it as it is, great job!
Id say its too much like the original scan but its a hard scan to really add to. the image is so strong by itself already and id say your touchups at least are a worthy effort. but still, id say try to do something more unique with it
Really nice. though it's a little dark for me. i like the lighting from the orginial scan better but that's juss me. =] other then that i think overall it's a really good wallpaper.
