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 wallpaper and I have a long love/hate relationship. I have given up on it at least twice by now and I still keep coming back to it.
What I wanted to capture was the moment in the beginning of a live concert when the lights first come up on stage to reveal the performers (there is usually fog involved for dramatic effect). So that's how it all started, hours upon hours of vectoring later, and after playing around with god knows (pun intended) how many variations of how to make everything come together I ended up with this. I am so sick of working on this wallpaper now that I think I will just submit it this way, and I might just make another version later.
The scan is here. And yeah, I kind of simplified some people's outfits, either out of laziness or from personal taste (I still don't like Mikuru's dress, but I like my version of it a bit better). Sorry, Asakura and Tsuruya's fans, but since this is SOS brigade in concert the two of them didn't get included. Instead I added more instruments so that Kyon and Itsuki haved something to play (>_-) Grrr ... drum sets are hard to make!
For some reason I can't download it. But from the thumbnail I say wow. You vectored them all?? I admire your patience. I only did Haruhi and it took me forever. And it does look the beginning of a concert. Well done!
I agree with MTL, something like that would of really given it that 'on stage' look to it. Either or, it's still damn sexy the way it is. Especially Yuki~. One thing I never got about the scan is the tamborine. Wtf is a tamborine doing in a band @____@. Well, maybe it's the new cowbell. Either or, this is a rather nice wallpaper and it's very nice to see the majority of the scan being used besides Haruhi (which I'm sure everyone will use that scan to death). You did a fantastic job in my opinion and I love it. I think I've found myself a new desktop.
Oh!
They are making a concert! XD
well, a nice idea, but i just dont think that the background match the theme you want to make in this wallpaper :D
maybe you could make a lighting effect and small speakers just like the usual concert? and make a background with a big TV to show the concert? Well, anything, just make it looks like the usual concert 8D
Wow sweet wallpaper. I never seen this anime but now i think i might check it out. Anyways about the wall i like the concert concept and the background really makes it good my guess is that suppose to be smoke or the sky but i like it alot.
