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.
A whole lot of hours in Photoshop, a whole lot of messing with gradients, a whole lot of messing with brushing, a whole lot of messing with opacities, a whole lot of layering, a whole lot of vectoring, and a whole lot of compromises and shortcuts.
The gradient you used for the background could be different (to create some interesting contrast, since nono's suit is already white you don't really need to have a white gradient on the background), but overall it's a nice simplistic wallpaper.
This looks great. I like simple wallpapers, so I think the background is fine, though a different colour might have looked better, but it's still good.
And of course I added this to my favourites^^
I love the colours. The way her hair is completely flat compared to the rest of her works really well. Like it's part of the background. I think that makes up for the blandness that other people are commenting on.
Anywho, I really love the simpleness of this plus the bold color for the hair. But I think that because the hair is flowy and smooth, the lines should all be connected to enhance the fluid...ness... maybe...
I also think that the way her body is colored doesn't really match the rest of the gradiented stuff. I think that the shading should be somewhat gradiented too, and then you'll have a cool flat look.
I really like the character but i too feel the bg colors are not a good choice. this image is very lively, and it needs a more exciting bg to compliment it.

Good job, and Nono-chan deserves more wallpapers.

If religion is that which binds men to one another, and irreligion that which sunders, then must I testify that I found the religion of my country in its musical genius and its irreligion in its churches and drawing rooms.
