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.
I think it's safe to say, this wall deserves a highlight. It takes an ordinary scan, and makes in extroridnary wallpaper just by altering how you would expect to see this scene. Beautifully playing off of light and reflections and color, this wall comes together to leave an incredible sense of how big the space she's in actually is, with things going on, that we only get hints of. Kyendo and the11342 make a great team, and while the11342 is going back to the army for a while, we can all await his return, and hopefully his next wall anxiously.
You have to full view this one guys. No, seriously. Do it.
Yep, i'm leaving. Army calls again so there i go. I wont be there for almost a year, i may pop up like once in... a year :p
I want to thank AP and the people i met and liked there for the great time i spent there (sounds like a suicide letter :/ ). I'm gonna make a small list since these people are not so numerous hehe
Elfe-noire43 for being this devoted and kind co-admin and just being such a good friend. Kalico for being a damn good mentor Blu3angl for being so cute and aaaaaah mmmmmmh heeeeeeee ShiNN that i wish i met earlier TheSquid for being one loving HO NeikanShinigami. Watch her, this girl will go far.
and of course Kyendo for being comprehensive, cool, and, above everything, being Kyendo!
And all the others i didn't name, don't worry i still think to you.
Thats it for the goodbye, just don't forget me too fast, wait a week at least.
Oh my this took FOREVER. Between Kyendo playing KH2, me watching anime, and our lazyness, i thought we'd never see the end of it :D
As you can see, this is... mmmh a girl shooting at a monster that is seen in the glass building reflexion while jumping in the air with her bike (don't worry for the landing i'm sure she'll do great)
How did we do that. Well this consist of two scans of Ugetsu Hakua, the girl and the monster/spaceship, the city that comes from a scan but needed loadsa reCG, and the glass building frame...
We each thought the other would do more, but eventually it's pretty equal.
Kyendo did the lighting of the girl (he rocks at that), some reCG of the city, the reflection in the building texturizing and touch ups on the overall.
I did the extraction of scans, reCG of the monster, flames of gun and bike, some reCG of the city and girl, the building frame and blending of the overall.
We both worked on the color balance and all.
I must say this collab taught me two things: some more walling skills but thats pretty futile, and the fact that Kyendo is one hell of a great guy. I still don't understand how he can stand my fussy-ness :p
Kyendo says:
Hi. Pretty cool wall huh?
Well thats it, hope you like it, cuz it's the last wall of The 11342 you'll see in a while :p
WOW love it totally rocks^^,
i love that its all red,
i like the reflection on the building it looks great.
Man i love this wall its so going to my favs^^.
Nice job on the wall, clever idea. Man too bad you got to leave. You have got to get into AP once in awhile. Best of luck to you man, CHEERS!!
Oh and yeh +fav

...It's nice... I like the sky and the reflection of it in the building... also, it looks like a sunset... and I am a big fan of sunsets... and red... great job... ^-^
That's a cool wall, I like the idea behind it. Colors are nice, no strain on the eyes. No text is always a plus. The thing I don't like is that while the background is really great, the character doesn't seem too fit in. Like, I mean some kind of reflection should be on the building. Also, I don't know, but to me the position on where she is shooting seems kind of off to where the monster thing is, judging by it's reflection. Other than my nit picking, cool wall. As for you leaving...uh...don't die?
?
I'll see you from time to time I hope. :D so come on when ever you can and leave a trace somewhere I can track down. ;3
oo.. lighting on the girl seems cool. but from the lighting source, shouldn't the light come from in front of her? o well, for emphasis and lighting matters, it's very cool.
another thing, why isn't her reflection in the building?
not too big of problems. anyways, great work with perspective, and as we all know, perspective is one of the hardest things to work with. little flaws here and there is certainly tolerated. :D
'tis what I say, but overall, WOW. it's a great wall. the mood is greato and looks awesome on my desktop.
I especially love the firing coming out of her .. gun? thingy? and the motorcycle. great job guys.
Nuh-Oh! Well I'm sorry to see you leave, and will await your return... This piece is really something and everything blends nicely. Me like the window reflections. Since I have no complaints, Faved. ^^
but seriously, the wall is awesome. but thats expected of the 2 of you. Now, semuta and i (if we ever have time) will have to out do you! if thats even possible :P
i lovethe lighting and the concept. it's sexay.
and mentor? all i did was encourage you >_>
i'm far from a mentor.
good luck in the army! by the time you get back, i'll probably be off in the working world. but be sure, when you can, to stay in touch :3
I would empathize, but I've never seen you beenfore! sorry!> ___ <
But I'm sad now that I haven't, this...is a really good wall, and particularly, there are no perspective errors! (i think) However...the bullet sheels look weird! XD
Oh well, it's too bad you're not staying as a regular, well, have a...good...trip? XD later...

Wow great wall. That's a cool wall, I like the idea behind it... No text is good at this wallpaper^^.
But one thing that looks strange is the missing reflection of her in the building.
