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.
This has always been one of my favorite Rayearth illustrations, and I finally found a scan nice enough to make a wall with it. I had to do a lot of editing with the scan; the page fold, extending Hikaru's sword and cape, as well as getting rid of the border that was going over Hikaru. You can see the original scan here.
I think this turned out pretty much how I wanted, though it seems like I could have done something else with the background around the castle, but... I got sick of milling over it and getting nowhere. So, I uploaded it, and that was that. >D< Any comments are much appreciated, as always.
I also plan on making a wall with an illustration from the Rayearth scenario collection in the future, so stay tuned if you like MKR. xD
You really captured the intense elegance of the picture in your wall. You deserve huge kudos for all the work you had to do to make this to look right in comparison to the original. I'm definitely marking this as a favorite.
WOW simple WOW I have such a hard time removing lines from images. You did a AWESOME job!! I love Rayearth and Hikaru sword is Sooooo COOL. I love the castle in the background. I thing is gives the wall depth. and the dark layout in the back is too smoothy cool!! I love the drawling kinda Magic Knight Rayearth. I do belive it is clamp. so nice. I thank you for posting it. I will diffently save it. I was looking for something like this to go with my desktop layout. THANKS

Oh wow. Simply a beautiful job. I love everything! Haven't seen Rayearth in so long... CLAMP's artwork is truly excellent, and it looks awesome in this!
Personally, I like the castle just like that. Some things are just better without a whole lot going on.
Very cool wall and a very nice object that stands out - the sword.
Very good use of colour and creative-ness... lol... its got an image of princess (thingy.. forgot her name) on the blade of the sword.. IT REALLY STANDS OUT! I LOVE IT!
Very good execution, I like this wallpaper, the placement of the characters and the castle in the upper left. I also like the white flames/light that surrounds the knights and the castle.
really good work
