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.
This was originally a very simple wall that wasn't supposed to take countless hours of making... but boy was I wrong.
I'm not going to explain the whole process, it would just be a lot of swearing and dirty words XD
Anyway, this is pretty much just a recreation of THIS scan. I repainted everything from sand to clouds, no pre-made brushes or stock, and I suck at making clouds but I think these were kinda cool. I also extended the surfboard since I wanted it to be a bit further into the picture.
And now for some the stuff I added and the meaning of the things:
¤ Book beside Haruhi - her diary? or notebook about extraordinary people.
¤ Pen in Haruhi's hand - she has to write with something.
¤ Added lemonade - well, they're thirsty!
¤ Yuki's earphones - it didn't have a cord before I attacked.
¤ Text on Yuki's book - I can really imagine Yuki reading that book XD
¤ Stripes on Yuki's bikini - adds some sportiness and I think she ruled at baseball.
¤ Lollipop - because it looked like she wanted one.
¤ Stripe and butterfly in Haruhi's bikini - For some reason she reminds me of a butterfly.
¤ Dog paw on Mikuru's bikini - She played a dog no?
¤ Oh and what do they really have in that bottle? I guess bbq time will come early today. Typically Mikuru.
¤ Also, the "hovering" clouds are a bit UFO/flying saucer shaped because I had to considering the show.
Besides from all of that I clean the scan because it was pretty grainy + I fixed the colors a bit.
Time: about 24h (don't wanna talk about it)
Layers: a few hundred considering all the different clouds I made.
Number of times glared at Haruhi's breast: still looking...
Wow.. haha, really love this one..
good job on recreating the scan into a wall.. they all look good together..
really hot like the summer ^_^
summer banzai!!
For two days ago I saw this picture of scan,now I find this one of wall,Haruhi seeexy~~I really like "SOSdon's" members.I will fave it and change for the desktop at once. Thank you very much for sharing the picture,itadakimasu^^
Goodjob I like it! Nice recreating this scan, loved wat you did with the horizon and the clouds, adding ear phoens to yuki, the books and the SOS board :) even subtle features like adding a desing to Haruhi's swmisuit! not bad at all! good work! favs for me!

Great wall! haha funny in a way... Like the sc, and the beachy bg is great! plus the summer time. It's not my favourite, but it's nice :P
congrats! ^_^
The background is nice, the beach and the sea looks nice, and the sky looks good. The characters are looking good, they fit to the background well. The title on the surf doesn't fit though. Nice wallpaper.
Nice work with the colors. The wall looks a lot lively than the scan. And all of the things you added in looks really natural in the wall. And the work on the horizon is excellent, prettier than the scan. Totally excellent wall, with Haruhi topless!
I saw your first one of this, and this one looks alot nicer then that, you did some major changes, i can tell and it really shows. but there is something about the clouds that could be different because they look just like iceburgs but very nice additions with the lemon aid, look perfect
I found something super wrong!!!! sorry to say but yuki isnt lisening to a mp3 player... it is actually suntan lotion... you can tell by the yellow top of it .... so i think you should try to change that but the rest looks fine oo yeah the clouds look cool to XD
