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.
Well seeing that school reopens like in 3 weeks i thought wth
well i hav these KH scans lying around and this looked perfect to wall with a pic i took the other day
the bg is a photo i took a few days ago, i manipulated that a littl bit
added sun, brushes and text
i wanted to add a ipod coz i thought her hand looked like she could be holding simthing
but the ipod dosent look natural, more like shes holding a very fat ipod
anyway after wasting time doing a i-pod tutorial for about 30 mins i came to that conclusion
so a bit of a waste
anyway i decided to leave it at that
......
Hmm...... this is quite a unique wall, i mean i have not seen a wall of this style yet. It is good but one major flaw that is quite prominent is that the char's shadow is falling in the wrong direction. I mean the sun is at the opposite side of the shadow!! It's definitely weird!! And the char's shoes are also unusually big! And also, her left hand also looks empty in that posture, you could have added something else in it but then again, the wall is fine the way it is now
But other than that i see nothing else wrong in this wall. Nice colors, nice char, bg is pretty. And a nice theme aswell.
I like the wall.
Fine work^_^
Goodluck with your next wall.... :)
Warm regards,

The shadow on the floor shouldn't be extendng down the road like that, given the sun's position. It should be coming out of the wall towards the bottom right.
very unique and ive never seen anything like this before. and yes, your sun is on the wrong side, or maybe your shadow is on the wrong side. overall, well done! keep up the good work!
Very nice and the concept is looking like a game layout... :D
I like those black bands on top and bottom... First time I like them cause you made then really well.
But I have ONE big stuff that's wrong with this wall...
Look at the shadow... And now look at the sun.. :D See what I mean? If the sun is shining from the left the shadow should be on the right side of the character... Of course you loose a bit of the nice effect that was given by the shadow... But you need to chose between the sun effect or the shadow... But both aren't possible in a realistic scene like this one...
If you have some tips about making a background from a stock picture I would really GLAD to know them! :D
I love this wallpaper! Other than the aforementioned shadow, the only thing I can see wrong with this is that you spelled "off" wrong. Still awesome, though!
Everything looks pretty natural, without the awkward lighting and angle discrepancies that are caused pretty easily by putting together images from different sources! Great job!
This is an instant fave! It would've been easy to not get this quite right, but she fits the background so seamlessly, I think it might be the awesome work you did with the shadow ^_^
