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.
** An entry for the Vectorness Challenge June 06 with cyberpunk/sci-fi theme **
After a long scan search journey, I can't help but to settle with this scan which is an interesting render of the Swordfish II Mono Racer - Spike's famous 'pink' aircraft from one of my all time favourite anime Cowboy Bebop.
The aircraft was fairly simple to vector and so were the elements in the backgrounds.
The biggest challenge was to keep the background simple and clean to keep the aircraft (or Spike XD) as the main focus of the wall - which is why I intentionally left the top left corner almost blank because it's already busy everywhere else. And took out a lot of small tech widgets on the background - too distracting.
Fully done in Illustrator, this is my first techy/futuristic wall but I think I will make more in the future because those tech widgets are actually really fun to make :)
Btw, ever wonder how a 'pink' aircraft can look so cool in anime? Enjoy! :)
Very nice wall, i like the way you kept it simplistic but didn't at the same time [if that makes any sense :P] nice touch useing grey tones for the BG too.
Hmm, nice idea, swell execution
superlatives everywhere, especialy spike and the towns silhouettes look real good
well, except for the main central element - the ship
it has close to no shading and no lighting, looks totally flat and 2d
more lively colors would be welcome on my side too
Damn...LOVE this to death! And you did the city by yourself?! Instant fav and a new wall on my desktop! This is l33t...so l33t...oh God man your walls making me drool hahaha. Everything is great and the swordfish is fine the way it is. A flat color made this stand out well! Well freaking well done!

Steel is my body, And fire is my blood,
I have created over a thousand blades,
Unknown to death... Nor known to life,
I have withstood pain to create many weapons,
Yet those hands will never hold anything.
So...as i pray...
