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.

@Damo: Well when I click on it to sign it in, it takes a while to load and then a message appears saying "click troubleshoot and we'll repair the problem" Doesn't tell me what the problem is after.

*Hugs back* I'm trying to rest more but my mind doesn't feel like co-operating a lot of the time. But anyway, I'll stop boring you with my stuff. =P

~TheFlameAlchemist 1 hour 2 minutes ago
*hugs caringly* I think you need more time to yourself, specially to rest.

~Deerstalker 1 hour 4 minutes ago
Yeah, trying my best to cope with it. Get thrown a few swerveballs every now and again but that's life, I guess.

Stole the title to one of my favorite K's Choice song. When I saw the picture I knew I wanted to use it. So I spent a few hours fiddling with it. Truthfully, from the first couple of hours of fiddling with it, I would never have expected myself to turn out with something so grunge. It really wasn't set up to be a grunge one, but when I was playing with the overlays, I got hit by something and here we go!

Can't really explain how I did it, but it's here. ^___^ Enjoy.

This is great. For some reason the background and the picture reminds me something Picaso would paint. Not totally but almost. I like the butterfly (Or whatever that is) it makes me think that's the reason for the multi-color scene :) I Love this, you did a Great job!

A really gorgous job, I really like what you did with this one. Excellent use of colors and textures, I really like the overall look and feel of this one. Simple, but at the same time very interesting, I'll have to add it to my favorites.

^^ Beautiful wall~! I love love love the color scheme. And the effects look great. They complement the scan so well.. I don't know what it is that made me like this one, but there's a very nice balance between the delicate in the scan and the grunge in the background. I think I'll make this my first fav on AP :)

This is a really beautiful scan, although I don't like the butterfly so much. I don't know if I like the way the scan is mixed with a grungy background, but it's very well blended and the smooth scan is well enunciated by the incredible detail of the background. Color choice is also excellent.
