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.
Ever watch those IRC Samurai re-runs at 3am? well I have, and almost every single movie has a scene in which they run up to each other, screaming, the hit is so sudden and quick that the viewer isn't given any indication as to who won. Until the rediculous amount of blod begins to spray out of one's body, in a way only Japanese film makers and Quintin tarantino can produce.
The scene in this wall, is a cliche one, but it is very dramatic. one look at the character's face and you feel all kinds of painful emotions running through your body. It doesn't matter if he is good or bad, you can't help but pity his pathetic look. Of course, for those who've read Dogs, you'd know what the deal with the scene is, and for those who've read it AND know what the title means, well you can understand how well it fits. "Vicarious Atonement" is a wonderful song from the upcoming Mars Volta album, which you should all go buy!
Why only three colors? These three colors provide the greatest contrast that can be made. Such a strong contrast not only fits the mood of the piece but it also strengthens it, it helps send that tingling feeling of surprise down the hairs on your back. Yet, there will be those of you who prefer color. In my opinion, if I were to add any sort of background, it would be too distracting and would oly disrupt the breath taking scene. If you notice, most of these scenes, when done in movies, are almost always done in a field, or a place where nothing can be seen behind the characters.
Well I really like this! ^-^ The B/W is soo good looking with the splash of read blood. Sweet! ^-^ The colored version isn't as good as the one submitted. I just like the B/W! ^-^ Personal prefrance! Favorite!
Red white and black. fool-proof. like im reading a manga. simple and stylish. reminds me of those old school samurai standoffs (which it probably is. i dunno) contrast? yea. this is a neat one.

Anyways; its a good wallpaper.
my only problem wwould be the main gash of blood. i'm not sure it should be outlined.
but besides that, this is very nice.
Have a nice day!
If religion is that which binds men to one another, and irreligion that which sunders, then must I testify that I found the religion of my country in its musical genius and its irreligion in its churches and drawing rooms.
