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.
Not exactly recent work, but I've decided to submit this anyway...
Anyhow, I've always wanted to do a ParaKiss wall, so when I saw this scan on MiniTokyo, I was pretty much just like O_O and I simply had to wall-ify it! I wanted to create this idea that Yukari was "captured" and "entranced" by Joji (and the smoke and mist are sort of like his "spell"), and that he was giving her an "illusion of paradise", but it's not really paradise...
The text reads:
The Illusionist's Paradise
your lips, your touch, your cologne surrounds us
seizing me with passion
you capture me in love's web
(Alternatively it can be read as:
seizing me in love's web
you capture me with passion)
i am your butterfly
Textures and brushes from Classic.tere-art.com and Deviantart.com were used.
[Edit]Regarding the butterfly on Yukari's chin, it was meant to portray the idea that Joji was "marking" her - sort of like obsessive love. :X
Also, butterflies have often been associated with illusion and sometimes beauty (but considering that they're actually bugs...) so I thought it might be apt.
Woo, illusiony, lol. By smoke, do you mean cigarette smoke? Because then it would really be an illusion of paradise, but not, lol. It's so cold o_o... Nice textures and effects. I would prefer it to be clearer, though, but then that takes away the mist effect, haha. Is that a tattoo on the chin? Interesting... but it looks kind of wierd. I like the text, but I wonder if it would look better if it was more spread out on his shoulder?
This is a really nice wall. I like it. The scan and the background are really great and they fit each other really well. I love the scan and I like this anime or amgan, too. Nice job! Keep it up!
