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
A new year brings a new wall with a new look! I'm surprised there is no Suikoden wall in the AP gallery! well this one took a while, 'cause if you've ever seen the real image, they are just character sketches. I went to color using the combination of the regular brush and a grunge brush. I wanted a sort of unrefined coloring so it would fit the sketchy feel. the background was very simple, I just used a texture from DA, and I added other lighting. I kept with simple text because I wanted the focus on the characters, and I felt it would be too cluttered.
so enjoy the new wall. It's for all Suikoden fans out there!
I like the way that the characters look like they are sketched ((i read the comment, so they'r eobviously supposed to be that way......)) it looks good. i love the walls with the professional sketchy look, and you've captured it really well! good work on this wall and keep it up!

The coloring is great, good job!
I usually don't like the walls that look like a sketch but this one is very good!
Congratulation, it's not easy to try new styles for the walls, thumbs up!!
Great wall! love the coloring and man i'm a simple person too. so it just is very nice to find people keeping to the basics. simple is always better i think and well nice ideas witht he wallpaper and all.
It's pretty hard to find some good scans of Suikoden outside the range of the official art. At least for me. It's a good wall and it kinda resembles the style of this other wall I've seen that used official art. Nice work~
Grunge brushes for coloring...why didn't I think of that? :D It probably would have been nicer if the font for the text was something sketchy/calligraphic, but it doesn't matter. It looks great as it is.
I like it a lot. the design is simple, but the way you colored it is just wonderful. it has that kind of clean feel you get from watercolor. *sigh* there's just not enough suikoden 3 wallpaper in the world (in fact, i think suikoden 3 doesn't get as much credit as it deserves), so i'm glad you made this. great job.
I really love this piece. You put a lot of effort into this wallpaper and you did an amazing job. I really like the work you did with Chris Lightfellow, seeing that she my favorite from the game. Keep the good work and keep 'em coming.
Wowies, you did beautiful work with this scan! Love the style of the colouring, it's just awesome! The details is really spectacular! I like the simple text, it fits well with the wallpaper. The black lines stands out alittle too much. Maybe go for a little wavy look like or thinner borders. Overall, really awesome work!
Oooh! A Suikoden i wallpaper, I was waiting for one of these. I absolutley love the whole grungy-sloppy paint look. And the characters you used are perfect. Only problem I have with it is the text mainly. Seems like it doesn't fit too well with the wallpaper. But, I love it anyways. ^^

The font doesn't mesh completely with the background, but still looks great.
