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.
HEY! YUI's song LIFE.. i've heard and seen it's music video.. i like that song.. and her too.. hehehe.. ^_^
i never knew that the song was the theme of BLEACH (well, i haven't watched the Anime so i don't really know it) ^^ anyways.. nice wallpaper.. simple and yet full of life.. ^_^
nice depiction of the song (real picture to anime)..
Great work.. ^^
Ooo.. I've seen the music video also x] I love the wall a lot, but the only problem I have the "LIFE" on Ichigo's hand. It's hard to define it across his hand because the colors are both bright =/ Other than that, it's a sure winner =]
A few things: (I reviewed the highest resolution version)
-Really appreciate the high-res widescreen. That said, I found the vector to be a bit too . . . sharp? The outlines felt really jagged
-Colors = awesome
-"LIFE" (the song) = awesomer
-I can tell you didn't like the fence much, 'cuz it looks really odd. The chains need to interlink more (it's okay to have a FEW that don't, but over half of the chains aren't linked to their neighbor)
-Overall, really cool idea/layout
These colors are FUNKY :D Concept-wise? Good intentions. Execution-wise? Not so good. It's a cool idea, but Ichigo just doesn't substitute as Yui. At all. So while it's a cool connection-link thing, it doesn't work with this particular character.
The purple tint in his glasses also ends a bit too early for colored glasses; if it stretched a little longer, it would keep the half-faded look away from his eyes.
LoL wow, your first one?? that's really cool! ichigo has pink hair!! i wish it was blue...oh well!
i like how you took the example from the music video!

At first glance, I didn't know what was going on with the wallpaper, but after reading your comment, I can see clearer. Keeping ichigo pink and having a dark colored background serves good for title text "Life". Heh, your fence is ok.
Woah. Another YUI fan - that's great! I loved her song "LIFE," and "Rolling Star" is a great OP.
Anyway, about the wallpaper:
It's got a great urban setting-type feel to it, and the colors are really well used and contrasted. It's really nice, and the way you put "LIFE" on the hand was a great effect that really gave this wallpaper it's character. Nice job! :D ^_^

Fixed the shading on the glasses. Thanks Rukita! Very observant - makes it look much better now ^___^
My first Bleach wallpaper!
And even more extraordinarily, my first wallpaper with only a guy in it!
Idea came from the opening of YUI's first Bleach theme, LIFE:
Never seen Bleach before, but I know Ichigo hasn't got pink hair :P. It was like that in the scan and I wanted to keep it that way!
Any comments and crits are warmly welcome!
PS: I hate drawing fences >___<
