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.
ok well I cleaned the scan made it darker used the lighting filter to make his face look darker, I then put in those strips and started to cut parts of him and put them there, then added some grunge on them to make them look cool, and well the text is relating to old superstitions about cameras and because if that I put his face in the lens like saying his soul was taken by it.
Yay! first comment XD
you`re really like Dark & black colour don`t ya? well,i like it because i love darkness. Hakkai XD it`s my favourite character since i`m still... 6 grade elementary school if my memory is correct.
somehow the camera is like the one in Fatal Frame (especially soul related). nice wallpaper again from you. keep up the goo work Swordfish-kun XD
Another Saiyuki wallpaper!
I'm feeling really happy!
I like the composition of this one! You did a nice job redrawing the missing shoulder and arm of Hakkai ^^
The concept behind the wallpaper is a nice one and I really like the grungy sides ^^
Keep up the nice work!
I like how the wallpaper has a dark and scary feel to it. Much like the fatal frame thing someone mentioned earlier. ^_~ Good job on the film strip. You managed to make the pictures there really spooky with all those scratch marks and stuff. The only complaint i have on this wallpaper is that i don't really like that image of him in the camera lens. You should change the opacity, and make it have a faded effect. You know, to give it like a ghostly effect. It's still a good wallpaper though. I just love that scan you used. I was thinking of making a wallpaper out of it at first, but since you've already made one, then i guess i should wall something else. ^^;
Perfect vectoring, as usual on your walls!!
I saw the scan, you did a great job with it, it looks very different from the original, he looks mysterious, very dark wall, i like the design on it!
the pictures on the both sides are so cool!!
going to my favorites!
congrats, amazing job!

I thought it was a Fatal Frame wall from the thumbnail ^^;
I like te textures on his face and the darkness of the whole thing
but shouldn't the negatives be inverted?? since they are "negatives"
o.O like all the whiteshould be black and the black white??
just a thought ^.~
they look good though, they kind of enclose the space he is in and
make a nice border ^^
^.^d
Nice looking wall you got there. I'm kinda partial to darker wallpapers, as they seem to look better on my computer. At first I thought this was from the video game Fatal Frame, I was mistaken, but happily! Meaning, I really like what you've done here. Its subtle. Your use of tones and shades is very effective. I really like how the character is sort of emerging out of the darkness, it adds a nice touch.
I like the background that you made, but I'm not sure it looks right with the character's colors, he just seems very unrelated to the background. Perhaps the addition of some creative effects and lighting would help with it, and you might also try to blend him in with the background some perhaps.
I like the idea of filmstrip at the sides, going with the scan's camera motive. I like the grunge work that you did with the scan for the film strip looks rather cool and well done. I think that Hakkai's face is too dark though, a little lighting effect on his face would be nice, to show that you are still focusing on the character. :D
This is excellent I am trying to gather up a collection of black and white wallpapers and this is definetly going to be a part of it. The details are just incredible again excellent work on this wallpaper you should be proud.
I've noticed that you're sticking to black and white wallpapers these days. XD There's something that looks a little odd about this wall. I didn't really like the text, and the side pictures. Nice job with blending the scan into the background so smoothly. =]
