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.
My entry for the Pre-90's Anime/Manga Fun challenge to Trompe Les Mondes over at AP... we won, yay! >xD I'm a tad surprised that nobody else walled Totoro, but anyways~ I kept this one simple, 'cause that's the way I like it best, since I remain an icon whore, which probably won't change anytime soon >3 Mwe he he!
Totoro vectored from this scan from http://perso.orange.fr/one-piece-of-manga/, much thanks to crap for sharing; leaves vector-modified off this scan... Lastly, thanks to my cousin Kevin W. for obliging my "COME LOOK AT TOTORO JUST ONE MORE TIME" calls >xD, as well as the usual suspects for reassuring me that the wall was done :D
Congratulations! This wallpaper is just too cute! I love Totoro & the rest of Miyazaki's films. Although it's plain & simple, it's clean & crisp. Different colors that blend well together & a vector that was done very well. Although I don't really like the text, it doesn't take away anything that I love from this wallpaper. ^^
Wow...This is a really great wallpaper/vector! I love the character that you vectorized, it's very cute!
The bg is very simple but it fits the charac. perfectly, I really like it!
It's great *nods* My fav!

Totoro! :D I like the background, its simple, but its not boring, the vector is awesome, making the outline green actually blends into the wallpaper more, it looks better that way.
Cute, simple, beautifully vectored, and the plants are a nice touch. I'm not crazy about the font used, but that's minor. The colors are also great. It kinda looks like Totoro is either falling or balancing on an invisible wall, which is slightly weird. Still, wonderfully reminiscent.
I love the simplicity of this wallpaper! The colours compliment each other and it's easy on the eyes to look at! I am also liking the fact that there is one focus point instead of 20 or so. Great job!
