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.
It's done! A month's worth of work (on and off) - it's finally done!
I am surprised nobody else has walled this scan. Lelouch and CC looks so cool; maybe everyone is too afraid of the pain of having to clean it up. I gave up trying to clean it and vectored instead. I later vectored Suzaku too, just cause it looked strange that he wasn't vectored when the other two were. Karen didn't make it into the wallpaper unfortunatly, but I didn't like how she looked in there anyway.
The idea is that Lelouch is a chess genius, so he sees the battlefield as a chess board, there are pawns and generals. (the generals aren't coming out to fight him yet so they are in the background). I read somewhere that Suzaku is supposedly represented by a white knight: so even though you can't really tell that well without zooming in, he is holding a chess knight.
I'm personally a rabid fan of chess myself, so Code Geass holds a special place in my heart. (Yes, Lelouch, turn more live time battles into chess games...)
There only 2 nitpicky things that I find a little weird on the eyes. The first thing I have to comment on is the color shading. Perchance its the quality of the scan, but the color shades seem just a little drab. (Specifically, I refer to the hair colors of Suzaku and C.C.) The second thing is that the pawns look a little like fat bowling pins... Pawns are *supposedly* fatter on the top, but then again the actual image creation is probably different from what we usually envision them to be.
All in all, a fantastic wallpaper for Code Geass! Congratulations!
I like the idea behind this
nice vectoring you have produced
well done
i love it so much! great colors and the picture is nice ^^
the background is good and its good idea with the bad characters in the back.
Whow! Very nice wall!
Lelouch is sure the best! Code Geass is a very rox anime!
Your wall have nice effects, captures the char greatly and the most amazing thing is the chessboard ^^
Is all about the anime xD Lelouch is the master of chess, your theme is just great xD
I'm gonna fav it for sure! Thanks for the wall ^^

Perfect idea ^^v I liked it, because Lelouch is really a chess genius. I strange the part of chess, because are simillar a bolling XD But the wallpaper is very very nice ^^v
First off, incredibly creative. You really captured a primary theme of the show and a niche of Lelouch's character, and that alone deserves a lot of credit. It also looks fantastic, which is a major plus.
My main gripe is the giant pawn pieces, which look a bit awkward in the context of the paper. Going a bit too far with the theme when you already have it captured, so to speak; it sort of clutters the paper and just makes it so there's too much going on. I like the character shadows, but the overall feel of the paper is a bit more subdued and faded than it probably should be.
It's a good wallpaper, but just a few kinks that sort of make it less than it should be.
I think this turned out awesome, the chess board looks really cool and scan is great, goes really well. Really catches the theme of the anime I think :D
