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.
I was looking to do a wall for this excellent series, but was stuck on what exactly to do. After two false starts with two very different images, I was at a loss when I received the Complete Best soundtrack and went through the booklet. There, I found the ray=out cover of Eureka and Renton riding on the ref board. I found my inspiration, but it was much too small to scan and use as a source. I went scouring the internet to try and find something, but the best I could find were two screencaps of the scene, and they were not of the best quality either - a lot of details weren't visible in the screencaps that were visible in the Complete Best booklet.
A vector trace was in order.
I referred to the two screenshots, the image in the Complete Best booklet and the Megahouse Eureka figure for any potential oversights. It took me a good four days and nights to finish, and while not all of the little details are accurate, I'm happy with the finished product. I'm still toying with the idea of adding skyfish, but those might be an unnecessary distraction.
Also, to note, I was not aware of nageni's version until it was time for submission.
EDIT: Reuploaded the wallpaper with less obtrusive watermarks.
Gyah, gorgeous. I've always loved this shot of Renton and Eureka, and putting it against a golden sky looks beautiful and really compliments the moment...
