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.
Well, if you want to know more then I'll be available through PM or MSN, whichever is best for you. Rather not go further into on the SB of all places. =P
This is my half of the collab between me and redxxii of md.net
i say my half, because we both started a wall featuring one of the lovely ladies of eureka seven at the exact same time. we had no direction, and both just did whatever. after a couple of days, we were ready to trade off, and some adjustments were made and ideas brought to life.
they were switched back and forthe a few times.
to start, i reCGed the scan, and extracted it, and compiled a bunch of stock photos into what the background originally looked like (a bunch of stocks)
red then went and worked with them to smoothen it out and make it all flow together, and came up with the idea of outlining the stocks to give a handrawn look. a freakin AWESOME idea.
so, the wall came back to me, and me and my trusty tablet went to work, outlining like crazy. then, i did some more stock manipulation to add that "exploding" feel in the background. i added a cloudy, dusty have over a lof of the wall, and sent it back to red.
he made some adjustments and enhanced the effects, then added some text.
sent it back to me to adjust the text, and add some texture and a signature (mine is bette rthan his by the way)
then, we were ready to call it done.
this is my fav of the collabs i've done so far, because it was funny how the two walls are EAXCT opposites.
mine is very structered, and has a lot of architecture, blues, and even though it's destruction, is very serene with underlying grunge.
red's, is red, chatoc, grungy with architecture and structure as an underlying theme, and portrays the destructive nature as it occurs from the point it begins
well, we hope you enjoy the walls, because we love them and worked really hard on them :D
-is hurt- =O your fave among the collabs huh? -stabs-
how come you have these walls and i dont get to see the WIP? and the whole world does? =O
meh anyway i have no complaints, the building silouette doesnt need to go, it's a freaking building in a dark area hence no detail sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh -_- people are so picky it isnt even funny anymore more of the damn detail will be overkill *is annoyed*
text is good for me :D and no, no need to fill up the side...filling it up would just make your wall look messed up. (is annoyed with nitpickers >xO~)
anyway clever/sneaky/sly move on outlining the stock hahaha...i see some mangakas do it too -stabs all of u- xD
anyway i'll fave coz u'll just go "tate fave it b4 i sleep" -________________-

Eetoo sorry if i sound real bad here.. I'm lacking sleep and feeling crappy but i MUST
give a comment here =P
it's a nice wallie, nice contrast with redxxii blue and red.
though i shall say what i think it is, i think
the pose she's doing doesnt really fit into the background
well yeah, in just a glance it looks fine, but it seems that she's doing
nothing but frowning at the blue sky. ^^; there's no connection with
the ruins of city.. err ..
anyways, i'll prefer if the background is something else, but other
than that, it's a great job done, very well done ^^
though i never knew of eureka 7. Keep on the good job and i'll
be waiting for your collaboration with redxxii again~
