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 think if thats the case, then an image of Lucian and Ellidyr should be there as well. Lucian(image): You wont come back alive. You'll fail. You'll fail everyone!
It's been quite awhile since I've made a wallpaper. To be honest, I wasnt' captivated by Tsubasa until the 14th volume in spite of reading the previous ones before coming to this one. When I was reading on Kurogane's past, upon seeing this image, made me squee and want to wall it. The colouring began in mid-November and finished early December. However, a coloured manga scan is nothing until it is manipulated, which was the portion of the time that stretched on until the end of January. It wasn't touched until about the eve of the finished work but by the end, it finally worked out and inspired by the lyrics from Eternal Memory. It wasn't until January 28th 2007 (about 4 or 5 years) that I finally found out the singer is none other than Lena Park for Disney Movie Mulan (no wonder it sounded Disney-ish everytime). The mood I was trying to depict is a sepia toned theme and I think I finally got it. My thanks to especially ~Fuujin aka Aria-chan for giving a really good suggestion and I'd also like to thank the peopel on Session zero for taking the time to take a look at the wallpaper.
This wall is really cool... I like what you have done in the background, the textures are great too. Kurogane just looks sooo cute... to be honest, it's awesome, you have done a very good job in here, keep up with your reputation.
This is pretty nice. My one complaint is a lot of the stylistic devices feel too similar to current trends in LJ iconing. The other is the apparent line in the middle. I'm not sure if that's where the page came together or is actually meant to be there--either way, I'd have removed it. However, it is a nice wallpaper and the color choices are very appropriate.
Wow. This is an awfully good wall of Kurogane. I've always thought his past was really sad and it's so awesome to do a wall on that. Totally gorgeous and a definite favourite. Love it!
Oh wow, I see you've made some pretty hefty changes... and I love them! The dustiness really places the focus on the first scene, and I love the way you colored the manga scenes. Still in awe of the enormous effort that must have gone into this!
How cool is that! you've made kuro- pu's past come back but a book! Plus I love the effects added to it! I would like too see more of these wallpaper example if you can so kkep up the good work.
This is the first time i have seen this type of wallpaper. very creative, in my point of view. too bad i couldn't put it on my destop, its 1280X800...T_T anyway, nice work!
