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.
Oh kool, thats a pretty sweet wallpaper, nice beautiful scan
hehe... i can't believe i noticed this but theres a hole in her right arm
i like that guitar, looks like its real and that lotus logo is awesome
that lotus logo was so hard for me to find... nice work! =_=
Very very stylish wallpaper, you must yourself have delayed a lot of time doing this, but the hard work gave good results, the characters blend so damn perfect with the background, especially i like the effects you put on the girl, and the band looks awesome too, pretty good work
Wow, Its really nice...
The note on the background really match the wall...
everything here is just... right-places!
But the girl, seems too big... since the other character was small, the girl looks like the focus of this wall...
What I liked most in this wallpaper is the guitar. Wow, it just, gorgeous...
I like the flower there, everything just looks great!
the black skin with that pink glow... doesnt really like it...
but, anyway... This wallpaper is great!
Keep it up!

As a collage, this piece is a bit unbalanced. Some of the source images are more crisp than others, which makes them pull the eye more or less, and the prominent use of a photographic element is especially attention-stealing. The guitar claims most of the attention in this piece, but it's arguably the least important image of them all. The background which all the collaged images are placed upon is rather busy, and interferes with some of the images in the foreground, rather than settling into the back and becoming a texture. The colors have been coordinated well into a sensible palette, although the red and the pink are both the same key (intensity), and approximately the same hue, so they create a fair bit of tension when seen together like this. The parallel of the band on her t-shirt and the band at the right is appreciated, but it seems redundant for such a contained image. As a single wallpaper, I don't think it needs this much going on. In an effort to say too many things, the meaning of each piece gets lost, and it all sort of turns muddled. Keep submitting!

Author's soapbox
everything has been tried out at least once or twice.
I knew I wanted to use the image of Nana in the red shirt, I just didn't know what to do with it. Then I was messing around with the stock
photo of the guitar, and modified it a lot to make it 'match' in a sense. The background was messed with a lot. That was where most of the
editing was done. The manga scan was probably the last thing added, because I was really debating putting it on there. I knew I wanted
something black there to break up the colors, and about three different things were put there before I fianlly settled on that scan. I
like it, and I hope the feeling is shared.
Made in Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0. Images from NANA. Title from the song 'Bulletproof Skin' by Institute.
