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 like the dark concept, with the sunset sky that looks red. The effect is cool too. Hmmmm ... I think maybe it's better if you use colours on the character although I like it. Good job.

This looks really nice. I love the dark silhouettes, theyre awesome. The background looks too painted though, and I think it would look better if it were smoother.
Oh, Saiyuki! ^___^ I know this is an old wallpaper, but if you still want to change it, you might want to make the background appear less filtered. Also, it would be nice if you could make the text less blurry.
I really like your concept, and I think the scan fits your concept perfectly. :)

Nice, the sun hits the bottom of the clouds as it should hehe. nice sunset look. cool contrast of very dark characters to the sunset scene. whee. good job. erm, and i agree the words mighta looked better if they werent so blurry. other than that. nice nice. bye now.
I like it alot! great job with the concept. like some other people mentioned, the background looks a little heavy, some tweaking would make it look better. instead of a blur effect for the words, why not make it look a little rough to fit your background?
a little bit too much black at the bottom. imho it'd be better if they fade-to-black portion at the bottom started a little bit lower. it's because goku's and sanzo's legs feel a little bit cut off as the fade-to-black portion starts.
1280x1024 resolution would be great as well :) spacing out the thing so that you have a little bit space on the left for the usual icons would suit the average user; iconless desktops like mine are ok with it though.
I love the original picture and I like what you did with it. Conceptually nice with the whole "heading west" thing that's a constant in the series. The lighting on the character you did to match the sunset background works really well. And I like how the text stands out in the corner in white. I love the horizon photo you chose.
I really like the shading in this wallpaper it works reallly nicely with the deep orange background. the clouds in the sky look a little strange maybe they should blend together more instead of being so distinct but other then that it is a very nicely done wallpaper plus i love saiyuki so you get bonus points.

To the west...ie, towards the setting sun, etc. I used a stock photo for the sunset.

I don't like what you did to the clouds though.
