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.
Wow...didnt expect to get a wall done in a day! This is the fastest I've done a wall with almost full details in it. This took about 12 hours STRAIGHT no breaks. I was so bored today I wanted to do something and I did this. You can say its fan Art being I manipulated it and all. The original Scan was in the day time and I completely converted it to dark. Which I must say is really easy to do if you do it early. All in all Im laughing and enjoying this...I was absolutely dumbfounded when I ended it looking almost real. Now if you can see Haruhi being a god that she is can change her own world this instance shes changing the weather from atop of a skyscraper while its during Christmas holidays. Now you can see the light comming from the sky...thats the moonlight pooring from the open clouds as she opens them from where Haruhi is standing. I really enjoyed this actually :) I hope you enjoy this speedwall like concept :). Again I will probably hear major critiques from you guys...doesnt fail ;p. Cheers!
Awesome lighting on Haruhi and everything...frickin amazing concept dude. Way to make it look all dark and brooding. At first, I thought I had gotten in the wrong section. ^.^
I'm liking the wall but that fog/smog in the city at the very bottom of the wall is really bothering me. I see what you were trying to do but it seems off some how.
Other than that its goes well with all the other nice walls you've done. Nice idea and get some sleep! :)
This is a very interesting piece, but there are a few things that do bother me about it. The background is very blurry and so is most of the foreground, and even though it looks neat, it makes things very busy and makes the entire wallpaper have too much movement and distracts from the figure in the foreground. The other thing that I might point out is the highlight around the figure. It has a very realistic effect to it, but it's a tad too bright. I think it should have been a slightly darker color that matches the background because the color that is there now makes the figure have a little bit too much focus and, although it makes for a nice effect, it should maybe be toned down just a bit and it would be a lot better. Overall, it was definitely a good wallpaper and a very well placed design. This get two thumbs up from me with the few suggestions for improvement.
I like the strange lights in the clouds, which that is well done, also the angle where you can see the city is well done. I would have to give this one a fav.
The first thing that comes to mind is lighting. And that seems to be executed rather well in this wallpaper. The city looks a little too obscure.. maybe it's just a little too small.. but still, great work...

Wow, this is amazing. The wallpaper looks awsome espically how you manipulated the original scan. The modified version of the original scan looks just awsome. The shading, the colours, everything looks amazingly great.
The lighting effects of the city looks great as well. The lighting shining through the clouds looks also great as well.
All in all, it's a very well done wallpaper. The colours looks great and the lighting is excellent. The concept idea you developed has really made it one great looking wallpaper. I really love perspective because the viewed has been tilted a little which makes it look great if was in a normal position. So keep up the great work.
