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.
Yey after a decade thinking of walling one of Hayao Miyazaki's works (that's MR. Miyazaki to you ppl) >xD i chose totoro as my first coz he's cute and freaky at the same time :D and he has girls for friends lol tho that doesnt explain anything but being random is cool >.>
anyway yeah im gonna try and dodge some insane crits i would likely to receive
1. C: Birds only concentrated near totoro = A: coz he's totoro and birds like him >xD
2. C: NO TEXT = A: there is one look closely "CAT-BUS STOP"
3. C: Duplicated sootballs = A: SO? should there be blonde and redhead sootballs? xD
4. C: NOT MUCH DETAIL = A: umm that's coz i'm lazy >=D
thanks to Gideon for the idea :D, nuni, amai and yina for input, tho amai and yina saw the other 2 versions, and to blaze and boing for being creeps saying it needs more in its earlier stage >.> actually was finished then, but they said it's empty so i added stuff -_-
yey *sings* to to to to totoro to to to totoro >xD
EDIT:
someone said the sig was bright and big @_@ first time i got a comment on that lol..and gave the sign an outline
My girlfriend loves these kind of wallpapers... great job there...
Upper left part seems a bit too empty but i guess it's meant to be like that...
Good job in colors..It has nice,warm feeling..
But i suggest you make your wallpapers at high resolutions too... i use 1680x1050 as resolition so i wont be able to use this..but like i said before, my gf loved it...
good job again...
Hmm i didn't see anything wrong with how the birds were placed, all though now that i look at it i do think the positioning of the sootballs is a little bit weird, and the perspective struck me as odd at first - it looks like totoro isn't standing on the ground because he's not large enough to be doing so based on the houses in the background (based on his body structure, the portion of his body that's visible makes it look like you will be able to see his feet very soon if you could look a bit further down)...he looks more like he's floating in the air or standing on something that brings him to the roof level of the houses. so i think it would make more 'sense' if totoro was a bit shorter compared to the houses and the bus stop sign. but overall i really like your wall; i do like the simple clear cut look of it - it's very eye catching because of the simple lines - and i like the cat bus stop sign =) (and i like totoro too)

I would agree that the Totoro doesn't really match, but that's only if you look really hard. I think this is a really great wallpaper; I would use it as a desktop. I love its simplicity, and it's oh so cute! What a wonderful movie. If any of you don't know My Neighbor Totoro, you should see it. It's really quiet but a really endearing movie. It makes you go awwwwww. I love the cat bus.. I wish I could ride in one!
