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.
The moment i saw this wall in the queue, i knew it had to be featured. Why? just LOOK at it! i've seen this scan used a million times. But never in such a unique way as this. First of all it's vectored. But not only is it vectored, it's given a pop-art mixed with a beautiful scenic piece as well. The colors and overall feel of the wall just make you feel so light and fluffy. The only problem is there is so much to look at, it might not be as desktop friendly as some, but as a design piece it's just stunning.
Make sure to full view this one. The thumbnail does not do it any kind of justice.
Copy and pasted from MT. Weird resolution approved by +Kalico. thanks Kalico ^^
YEAH! I'm back on MT! School is finally OVER!
For those who saw my previous vector, yes, this is another freakin CLAMP vector. I just love vectoring CLAMP stuff ^^
I really loved this scan when I saw it. But after I finished with it, I hated it with a passion. grr...
Anyways, I first started off vectoring the image but halfway through it, I realized how much the sleeves of her robe look like wings. I wanted to paint a cloud scene on it but after many failed attempts, I decided to use a stock instead. For the stock, I filtered it to give it more of a drawn look. Then I experimented with two different smudge settings to give it that 'painted' feel.
EDIT: Ahh almost forgot my favourite part of the wall-the space scene xD. I was going to start off with a simple space scene to fill in for that dark space but it kinda got out of hand =P Somehow, birds ended up flying in space o.0 (upper left corner of the robe). The other set of birds are near the bottom and I tried to make the birds look like their flying upwards.
The background with all the vecotrs and arrows and stuff were inspired by many of his older works when he used the vector brushes. The brushes are from Paul W
I'm too lazy to write anymore but I'll try to answer my 500+ notifs soon x.x I promise to submit a real wall next time xD
Boring info:
Time: ~15 hours over the span of 6 weeks
Music: I don't know x.x
Inspiration: Devil Dude He's been such a huge inspiration ever since I saw his works on MT. His walls have style, cute anime girls, ecchi(for the perverts =P), simplicity, and other good stuff. Anything other than cliche. What more could you want? Please go check out his gallery. If you don't I'll hunt you down and...and...I don't know. Just something horrible.

Impressive...mighty impressive. What I really love about this peice is that the clouds really make it stand out making it look like Sakura's dress is somewhat magic and it has a special meaning. To me it means happiness because thats what Sakura always wants is for people to be happy and live in peace. A must fav for me. Well done!
CRAZY, THIS IS AWESOME, I love how the sky is incorporated into the wallpaper, and the vectoring is just perfect. And I like how you DIDNT add any words, its gorgeous the way it is XD keep up the great work!! I am so adding this to my fav list!!
This has to be the greatest tsubasa wall I have seen, everything is great... vector, color, pop art flair... my complaint is resolution isn't native or popular one for me. Eh, well still great wall!

Aaah I was just about to praise your cloud painting skills when I remembered I havent read the desc yet XDD;
anyways ~ excellent vector and making the clothes transparent (sorry, I have low vocabs to make my words more intelligent sounding ) is very unique I'm not sure about the kinda retro (or whatever you call it) bg on the left side though . its like cramming lots of themes into one wall . (the clouds are sceneric already)
the strong lines of the vector is very pleasing to view ~ just like the original inking style for TRC ;) the hair part may need a lil touching up , but meh . the overall wall is amazing ^^ keep it up kay ~

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it looked way too busy. But when I fullviewed it, wow... there's so much detail. The vector itself looks exactly like an image from an artbook. I do love the stock photo you used for the background/clothing and it blends well. The only thing that irks me is that some of the black lines are a little pixelated, but it's not too noticeable if you don't look for them. Other than that, this is a splendid 'paper!
I'm still in awe at how everything in the picture blends in. The wings being the sky was a very creative idea. How you made this like a mind game, I do not know. I spent a few minutes just gazing at each detail, following the lines. The robe blending with the wings which blended with the sky is, kami, words cannot describe.
Furthermore, the textures of the hair are superb and the foot that sticks out in the corner just makes the picture twist even more. When I first looked at it I thought I saw a floating foot. >.<
Details are big for me and this picture really hit it off.
Again, this is spectacular.
I don't think I've ever seen a wallpaper so beautiful. I love Tsubasa and CLAMP and pretty much any of CLAMP's works are suitable for some great desktop eyecandy, but I would've never thought to use the scan in such an original way. I love how well the scenery looks against her outfit... My only sorrow is that I'm gonna have to clip it a bit to fit it on my desktop T_T
You have captured the clamp's mood well in terms of colourings and the blending of the sky and birds. the results are nice so even if there are flaws they won't affect much.

Love is just a different form of ego. It's nothing but a flatteringly-worded form of possessiveness.
i like the colour of it
