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.
Techanacly yes you are. your asking people to go to a web site randomly. your not allowed to do it on the sb. but you can pm someone the site. (dont send it to me)
Whew, I've been working on this all day, and sadly I must say I don't like the results, i don't like them at all, BUT I spent around 6hours working on the damn thing I might as well submit it.

I think the that background was very well done. It has great details. Though I think that Talho and Eureka needs to be blended into the background a little more. Maybe slightly tint the characters in a dark soft blue would help?
The extraction needs work and the lighting looks wrong. Maybe you should put the lighting on the upper left portion of the wallpaper. Also, I think the text would look better on the road than on the planet.
I agree, the background is well done. I like the clouds.
Yeah the background is nice. But the extraction is awful... you should rextract the characters (and smooth the edges), and blend them. So far they stand out really too much because the whole background is blue and those characters are everything but blue toned. Either play with Hue and Opacity and give the scan a slight bluish tone. Recging might be an option as well. The text needs work as well, remove the drop shadow instantly (it's the bane of a wallpaper in my opinion unless it's used in a logical way, but in this case it doesn't make any sense) and try brightening the text rather than "texturing" it like that, I think a simple light blue text with a glow (produced by a blurred layer) should be enough and way better looking. I'd also try a different font, still staying in the serif category but I'd use a thinner type of font rather than a wide one like the one you used. Oh and Nunika is right 1 MB for that res is kinda insane lol, usually 1024*960 wallpapers take max 500/600 kb. Compress the file :o .
The scan though... ugh x_x The extraction is truly horrific. I suggest reextracting it to make it blend in with the backround more, and you have WAY too much motion blur on the characters. They are too bright to look at, which makes them stand out of the backround even more.
Um could use some more touching up...but even though it looks like it needs more work, it still works. Good stuff...next time spend more time on the extraction and lighting
It's not a bad concept, but it doesn't come together exactly right. For starters, the characters in the original image don't look like their moving, it kinds of looks like they're standing there and posing; adding the motion blur and whatnot just makes it look kind of wierd. Also, you should remove the whole 'Newtype' branding from the back motorcycle wheel. The BG itself isn't bad, but rather than going completely monochrome blue you should include some color, make it a bit more interesting that way. You might have also gone a bit overboard with all the moons and whatnot, you might just want to reduce them down to one to make it easier to see and make the sky less crowded. Overall it's not a bad wall, it just needs some work to be really good.
Umm... ilik ethe blue colour you choose for the wall! it's just suit with the character! but the wall is not extract so well... anyway, it's a great wall, keep up the good work!

Erm...I don't know if you updated the scan with a better extraction, but it looks good to me despite eveyone else's comments on how bad it is. The text doesn't really bother me being on the planet, it looks cool, but that light coming out of the smaller moon is kinda weird...Except that it's a really great well I love the background, nice clouds, tho the part above the motorcycle with the blue sky looks bad, it should be dark like the part above it. All in all it's deffinetly a +++fav :)
The background is stunning.. the lighting and softness is perfect. But the scan quality is lacking.. the colours look bright and washed out by comparisoon to the the surroundings. And I think the sharp shadow underneath them looks odd O_O;;
This is really cool and good! I didn't start to watch this animation... but i really like those characters and pictures!Thank you for this cool wallpaper and your hard work!! I enjoyed so well and Have a nice day sir !!!!!!!!!!1

Superb!! I've seen this scan and it looked like it would be difficult to work with. Great job editing it. And background looks awsome with it. Saving this for a desktop pic. Plus favs. I look forward to seeing more from you.
