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.
So, about a month ago, ed (the11342) was asking me if he could upload a wall with a nude character to the gallery, and i explained that he should run it by me first. so he showed me the scans, and said he didn't know which one he wanted. and when i saw the one of the nude girl on the couch, i was struck with an idea. and being the nice guy he is, ed told me to make the wall (i hope he's not dissapointed)
i decided to do an open modeling session. if you go to art school, you're probably familiar with the concept, but if not, i'll explain. Every friday at my college, we don't have class. Instead, we have studio time, with optional open modeling sessions. basically open modeling sessions is the school hires a model to pose, and you can go in and draw them as you please. it's free, and poses range from 5 seconds to 2 and a half hours. it's required by some professors, but i just like to go because i find it really relaxing. if i could make a living off of figure drawing, i would. but i can't, so animation is my second love
the wall is made completely from scratch outside of the murata scans. the walls, floor, easel, window, and paintings are all made by me. the paintings were done in painter, and the rest of the wall in photoshop. the hand drawing, was drawn by me, and the blue outlines are artist tape holding the paped onto a drawing board.
Thanks a bunch to the people that gave me advice and loves.
that would be the11342, evol, mety, baka, ish, blu3, gid, HK, meth, annex and blaze for the 5 minutes he came back from the dead.
and because blaze said he liked the color version, and metal said he liked the desaturated version, i also bring to you...the desaturated version: http://usera.imagecave.com/Kalico/murata_desat.jpg
i'm really busy, so this'll probably be my last wall for a while. maybe the collab i have with metal and the one with semuta...but also maybe not.
if anyone ever says..."yeah, take 3 studio classes for animation! thats a GREAT idea!" shoot them.
just shoot them.
in the face.
Good grief! This is an amazing piece and a bit original attempt here at AP. Don't see this type of wall especially a nude one at that. I'm loving your work with using perspective and lighting quite heavily. By far the lighting is what amazes me most ^_^. Plus its Range Murata! Lol I love his artwork and new artwork I haven't seen from him at that. Very nice piece. Just one thing though ;D.
GET RID OF TEH damn TEXTURE!!! LOL X3
I'm not a texture fan when its used practically EVERYWHERE. I prefere if texture were used to ACTUALLY make a piece more realistic in terms of floor, wall, skin, cloth, etc texture. Not the samething all over XD. All in all I'm absolutely adoring the piece to bits apart from the texture issue X3. Thank you very much for sharing and taking the time to imagine and create it ^_^. I would love to have a textless version if at all possible. If not no worries. Awesome work.
Have a nice day.

Absolutely gorgeous. it look so much different than the last time I saw it. of course, that was pretty early on in the stage, but still. God I love that canvas in the other side of the room there. I'm kinda leaning towards the desaturated version a little. but of course, they both have their pros and cons. x3
another thing I love is your idea of the different drawing styles that people have of her. very beautiful. and Your way of perspective of that guy ... "amazing" . xD
Hi kalico!
Wow! this is wonderful peace of work nicely done i like the idea and the view of the wallpaper its really wonderful. thanks for sharing your work.
Here i come to grab it. -_^

I'm not disapointed AT ALL Kalico :) I actually just woke up, and... hey what better could i expect as the first thing to see in the morning than a naked loli on a couch?
Well, i loved it all along its conception, and i still love it now that it's finished. Well, to be honest, i prefer the desaturated versdion ahah. Now, this wall is gonna blow all fav records i hope cuz it damns deserves it!!
Happy i found this scan and it ended up in your skillful hands, and happy you didwhat you did with it, really. Now just wait i finish my range murata naked loli wall xD
Instant fav, that goes without saying heh.

Whell wat to say, a job kalico ore someone else from the top-5 APers could have done. creating a small indoor scenery like this with all stuff around it is just amazing. Furthermore lightning and drawing and all couldnt have been done better. whell there is just 2 things left for me to do:
1) VIVA EL EVI
2) +fav

I adore the lighting and the perspective of this scene ...
Perfect ... i just don't have anything else to say ... it is just perfect
I like the colored version the most compared to the desaturate one
I like a lot the sketchy one (out of the 2 paintings)
Instant fav ^^
Very well done. Probably the best wall I've seen around here in a long while. I'm not feeeling the texture all over the place but I'm loving loving just about everything else. From the lighting to the positioning of the objects...everything is just close to perfection. This will probably be the only tastefullly nude drawing I'll ever have on my desktop but atleast it is an excellent one. ;D
You did an amzing job on this. i love your walls so much. i love the whole concept you used and you put it together so well. i like how you did the text to with the capital at the end, its very different. and i really like the scan you used and how you made the characters drawling it. its such an awesome idea, great job on it!!
OMG, this is totally adorable!
Great piece of art you did.
The idea of the wall is amazing. I really like the way it looks.
It seem like I'm someone who stood behind the painters.
Wonderful work.
