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.
Okay, so i submitted this a few days ago, but yeah...it wasn't what it could be.
main problems with making this wall:
-finding a scan of kiba that wasn't him being overly angry at tsume or something.
-when i found a scan, it was missing it's hand
-bribing evols to draw in kiba's hand. wait a second...that was the easy part -_-
The scan came from my friend Spot who happened ot have the manga, and she let me borrow it, so YAY :D
i know it's not NEARLY as powerful as my cheza one, but at the same time, you just can't beat cheza in that series. she IS the power. so anyways, i revamped the other one i did, adding more to the background, extending the kiba vector a bit (which was really weird) and screwing with colors and such. i also changed the title...but i'm not so sure i like this one either. so, suggestions on that are welcome.
if you commented before, please do so again so i'll know if you liked the improvments or not. and i also deleted the other version...so yeah.
thanks to evols, taters, redxxii and blazey-bitch for the help. specially evols for drawing the hand cause i'm lazy.
any more ideas on what to add or take away are always appreciated :3
edit: just wanted to mention why theres no cheza or wolves or anything, and thats cause they'r ein my OTHER wolf's rain wall, and i didn't want it to seem weird that they were in both, so yeah.
Must say the colors impoved greatly :3 also compared with the previous version,this has a faar better background,that gives a faar better atmosphere :3
as the last time,excellent vector job :P
WOW well i think i like this one better then that last one, but the last one was awsome as well^_^ I really like the sunset in the bg and everything else you did to make it better looks great, well Awsome job keep up the great work, +favs.
The bg changes are very nice, they add complexity to the composition. Mouth is better looking too. The negative part would be the clothes textures, mostly Kiba's shirt and that gray thing in the corner, a bit too apparent IMO
I like it a lot better than the last version, but I think the character of Kiba is missing. For me, Kiba stood for strength and protection, a strong will to get to their paradise no matter what. In the Cheza wall, I felt that the stained glass was a nice symbolism for her fragility. xD (or maybe I'm reading too much into things) I'm not sure how to improve it; maybe a wolf silhouette of Kiba? Not sure. >_<
Visually, the colors are nicer and Kiba's more centered than the last version. ^^; Great job!
:o much more dramatic! Kiba seems to pop more against the background with the addition of the trees and the warm hues of the moon, I actually like the title, it makes the wall seem more sinister and harsh. and I love what you did with my hand scribble, beautiful work
Heh, at thumbnail view it doesn't attract me as much, but at full view, this wall kicks some serious ass. :D
The texturing is awesome. I don't know why you people are able to do grungey/textured wall so well. >_<
No comment on the vector, it's that beautifully detailed, and precise. Plus the hand.
The plants on the foreground really adds to the overall depth of the wall. Kiba really stands out strong.
And the colors are just terrific.
One thing that I'm not fond of is the text. LoL. Nothin' but the text. Not that I prefer it without one, but maybe a bit of typo won't hurt. Or some more artsy fonts. XD
Anyways... great job again from you, Kalico. Maybe not the best Wolf Rain wall that I've seen (cough* Cheza* cough), but it's definitely one of the better ones.
I'll put this in my favs.

Well it's surely good. That's a fact. Not up to the Cheza ones but still damn good. Only nitpicky thing as I told you is that the texture you used on the vines could be a lil less blurrish, but that's it. I still love it. :)
Beautiful! All those textures, all the details... I'm in love! Just a suggestion: what about a wolf silhouette in front of the moon? Maybe it'll be too busy... Well, just a suggestion! +fav!
Wow..a lot better =X Honestly, I don't have really any complaints for this one >_< It's still kind of missing the magical effect, I dunno how you can seek and accomplish (I think I spelt it wrong, ah well) that. It's still excellent, don't get me wrong. Just missing that um...feel it had in your other WR wall =X Besides that, looks like I'll have to fave this too x_x
I think you did a wonderful job merging the scan with the background. And the background is wonderful too. I really like the color of the vines in the front, and the moon lighting the trees on the back. Love the sense of perspective. And all the colors fit really well. Sublime.
Wow! It looks alot more interesting now! ^^ I love what you did with the background behind kiba! XD Loverly. Also kiba seems to stick out from the image more too. Wonderful! +fav
Much better. I don't have much to say outside you did an outstanding job; I know you worked really hard on this one. I'll have to add this to my favorites.
Ahhh this one is a lot better than the first... The background matches the character perfectly... Not only that but the vine now make sense... Awsome improvement on this wall...
I don't know, for some reason I liked the other version better, not that it takes anything away from this one, it's amazing in it's own rite. I really love the textures you add to these series of walls, both the Cheza wall and this one. Great job as usual~
Are you doing some kind of series? 'cause this reminds me your other wallpaper - Delicate Paradise.
I like this version much better since the background was a bit empty in the 1st work.
The texture is great (I want it O_O), amazing work.
Woohoo!! More Kalico-pun style & goodness!! I cry because I haven't saw the 1st version. hue..hue..hue.. :( The wall is awsome, great, lovely, cool, ancient, beautiful, & wonderfull..oh yeah, & also grungy.. Kiba looks very cool!! I just love the textures you put, but the texture at the clothes(the white one) looks kinda wierd.. & awsome job to Evol for the hand!! The bg is very beautiful, & also lovely! What I love the most are the trees. I also love the sunset XD!! The textures are all awsome!! Looks like glass texture.. & the dark colors make this wall more perfect, alltough YOU COULD use some more brightnes.. The leaves are very cool!! The vines & others are also cool & lovely! Awsome job, Kalico-pun!! I'll definately add this to my favs!! Keep up the awsome work & hope to see another wall from you soon!!

I can't critque for anything. But. I'll do a pretty first comment dance for you. ^__^ *dance*
Do I get my manga back now? I need my wolf references again. >_>

And they bury them under the cold marble stones.
Visually, the colors are nicer and Kiba's more centered than the last version. ^^; Great job!
