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.
Just one look at this wall and you can see why it deserves to be highlighted.
The attention to detail and the sexy vector work make it enjoyable to people who love the series or not. the color scheme is soft yet vibrant, and it's just a sharp piece of work. While it may not be one of those insane walls that wows you, it's one of those other subtle walls easy to pass by, but when you really look at it, it WILL wow you. Take a minute to stop and appreciate this wall for all it's worth in detail and beauty.
This wall has been tormenting me for the past 3 months.
Believe me, vectoring this was hell - even if I vectored on and off. You can probably see it in the crazy outlines. No wonder why no one used this scan before x___x
As a result, I now h.a.t.e. roses and will for the next few months. XD
Anywayz, the main point of this wall, was to give it to brom for his birthday (which I really hate to admit, but was in November last year xD). Due to my final exams, I started the wall, after his birthday. I'm so sorry brom but here it is at last. Consider it your early birthday present for this year as well XD XD XD
More about the actual wall. Most of it was done on Illustrator 10 over countless hours (doing outlines mainly) and the cloud pattern was rendered on PS7. It's really an uncreative wallpaper - it's pretty much the original scan made to a wall, BUT! I had to draw half the wall by hand on th computer through 3 steps - basic sketch (PS7), refined sketch (Illustrator) and then final vector (Illustrator). It was a pain doing my own roses and that's why you'd see the difference on the right half the wall - far too much stalks. <_<
It's uncreative. I've warned you, so don't complain. Most ideas just came straight from the scan (thanks to nat who submitted it on AP). I just added all the extra bits and if there was one original idea, it's the figure of Jun on the right. Btw, I also scrubbed the title on the wall. It just looked weird so I got rid of it.
That's pretty much it. Too much talk. Btw, comments are welcome. I haven't had time to check with someone else - everyone's offline T_T
One more thing. If I see anyone rip this, I will rip them apart limb by limb!
EDIT: Lots of people didn't like the clouds so I got rid of it. It actually looks okay just with a solid colour. Well, enjoy! EDIT2: There was a weird red blob in the tree which rocksta just mentioned. Didn't know myself xD Well, fixed it up just now.
Vectoring is eye-droppingly gorgeous. Vibrant, Clean, Various shapes use for lining. Well done.
But 3 months.. Sheesh, You really deserve a pat on the back.
1600x 1600? Anyway the wallpaper is an absolute masterpiece, vectors look great, background's nice, colours look good... I really don't have any coment except for the strange resolution...
Congratulations, that's the best vector I've seen for a while.
Only the stroke width of the two branches going to the right seems a little bit too variable for me.
Otherwise it's perfect.
All this vectors must have been a pain... But the final result is truly awesome! Even if the background isn't full of details etc, it does looks good and it worked very well with the wall :D
This is absolutly FANTASTIC !, You did a amazing work, to say the least, on these vectors. Overall it is a outstanding wallpaper, I can imagine how hard it must have been for you to make it.
I am glad though, that you chose to do it about Rozen Maiden, I have just recently finished watching that anime and was still looking for "that" wallpaper, in which yours is of now, my new desktop :)
Henceforth, for all your work and a very beautifull vector wallpaper, it deserves a favorites.
Keep up the good work :)
Everything in this wall seems to fit together perfectly! The roses and the trees-- I think they fit so well together because the whole style is the same. I think I like the background the most since it's done in "shadow effect." Great job!
This is amazingly comlex for a person to do...only the truly patient and skillful one can do this and that person is you...all your hardwork trully shows here in this wounderful wallpaper...this is truly a stick-out peice for you and all thos here in Ap.
WONDERFUL job. I absolutely love it. Great job with the vectoring. I know it must have taken forever. Very well done. The colors, the characters, the setting...Amazing.
Wow great job on this wall! I love how you mixed clashing colours like red and green together and still got it to look awesome. I love the vectoring ^^
