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 love the song by Tokyo Jihen (written by someone else I believe), 'The Lady Is A Tramp'. It is just amazing, you should go check it out sometime. Of course, this wallpaper took about a week. The curtains were just me trying to be original, and I thought it was a nice touch to the wallpaper. The scan and art seemed to fit perfectly, also.
More resolutions soon at Antique.

I'm a big XXXholica fan, so it's great to see a wallpaper for this series. The text looks very nice (though I'm not sure about the actual content of such text...), and I really like what you did with the lace curtains. Great job and added to my favorites.
Wow! smthing out of the ordinary ^^ Both the perspective and teh colours used are new to me XD XXXholic roxorz as it is but this wall surely distinguishes it more n_nb

Very very cool, Brom brom. I'm glad you ended up placing the texture on the curtains; they look like curtains! XD And the background wallpaper turned out better than I thought it would... still a little: @_@ *gets dizzy*. XD But cool... UNIQUE! I think you're actually beginning to fall off that cliff. XP I'm glad the saturation is low, too, as that song kinda makes it feel like an old tv show.

Commented and faved on MT. I'll do the same here. First favourite on AP for me, I think. =/
Anyway...
Awesome job with the wall, brom. Love the scan and god work with extraction as well, especially the hair. Love xxxHolic. I actually like the curtain idea and the background fits perfectly as well. Not much to say about this, but job well done. As always, I look forward to seeing more. +Fav and by the way, nice text.
Oooh, the laciness is great. So perfect for the scan I had to doubletake to see where the original left off. And I love the black and gray/sepia with the touches of color. Nice font and lyric choice too. How did you do those curtains? I wanna do curtains like that! ^_~
I love the sort of languid sexiness of this wall, the XXXholic style is so distinctive this one jumped at me from the front page. Black and white, graininess, it just works. It's the sort of imagery I always attach to Shiina Ringo, so it's a really good wall. Are you a fan of her as well as Tokyo Jihen? :P
