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.
Hah, you wouldn't even know this was a Cowboy Bebop character if I didn't tell you... Originally I had wanted the character to be in this steel cage with a lot of shadows from pinhole light streams (idea from.. you don't want to know... okay Youka Nitta .. ^^;), but I was having too much trouble matching the curves of the body and making the character not look like she was suffering from some freakish disease, so in the end I decided to use the iPod silhouette-like design. It actually came out better than what I had originally planned.
I sort of changed what Faye (yes it's Faye, did you guess?) was originally wearing to show more um... curves... She's not my favorite character or anything, but when I first thought of the concept of the wall having a steel cage, she was the first anime character that came to mind. *cough* Spike and Jet were out of the picture and Ed is underage... -_- I'm sure Ein would have looked just as sexy in that cage, but then I'd have animal rights activists on my tail....
Oh and you’ll never guess where the title came from. Adam Sandler’s BIG DADDY movie. It was the part where Rob Schneider’s character is trying to pronounce the word hippopotamus. “Hip... Hip Hop? Hip Hop Anonymous?”
This is interesting, sort of reminds me of a Youka Nitta scan. Perhaps adding highlights where the light from the background would hit the char would give it more depth.
O...really, if you didn't tell, i wouldn't even guessed its from which anime
the curves are great, really nice
and the cage....guessed it juz spiced the wallpaper up lol
really great job there, nice :)

I really like this concept and i tihnk it was pulled out nicely. though i dont llike the stuff on the sides, it would be better just solid black. the text as well, expecially the bebop logo to the left should just be taken off. the text in the middle could use some work, maybe lose the shadow as it fits the vectored feel of the rest of the wall
Very impressive composition, the dark sillouthette being surrounded by dots of light was brilliant. I really think this wallpaper is truly unique, i love it ^^
Nice- very hip and sexy.
i love the color combo here, but i would have kept the text of the bg. it kinda adds an elementary element to the very creative wall.

Yeah, I do like this one. I think it to be very reminscent of the opening to the show. The silhouette is very nice although it does loose some of the definition towards the bottom. I think it would have been nice to see a bit more clarity on her legs. Also, I think that the title across the centre of the wallpaper could be done without. I don't think it adds anything to the wall and may even take something away from it. The swirls and text you have on either side of Faye is interesting and I think adds moves this wall towards the opening of the anime more. With all that in mind, it's still a fantastic job! ^_^
Well HELLOO haru wo daiteita!! ^.^
Nice idea, was wondering who the character coz I was pretty sure that's not Iwaki or Katou in a skirt *eww*
Love the concept, love the result!
Really like the background how you've put clouds, lines, text, scratches and other stuff together.
Don't like old english font - but that's just me.
Could do Spike and Julia together - just an idea :)
Congrats, great wall!
Now this is a nice blend. I like how everything has a nice style look to it. Very stlylish indeed. I also like the background kinda grungy if thats what you want to call it.

Have a nice day!
If religion is that which binds men to one another, and irreligion that which sunders, then must I testify that I found the religion of my country in its musical genius and its irreligion in its churches and drawing rooms.
