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.
The whole time I was making this wallpaper, I kept hearing that No Myth (Romeo in Black Jeans) song in my head :3 Flashback.
I remember when Gankutsuou came out, a lot of people were upset that it wasn't following the original story. However, I was ecstatic. What's the point of repeating the same old story in the same old way when you have an avenue as limitless of animation to bring any fantasy to life?
As soon as I saw this image, I scanned it and started working on it. Romeo x Juliet is proving to be anything but a cookie cutter version of the story, and because of that, I like it even more. I completely re-drew (or "vectored") the original scan, and even created the background using vectors and textures to make the stones look right. I was seconds from texturing it, but then decided this was just perfect with a glossy finish. It was tedious, but we'll just say this time it was a labor of love ;D
I don't know much about Romeo x Juliet but I have a good idea that it won't follow the orginal story, which is a good thing. Anyways, great job on the couple's recging and vector. The whole concept is simple, effective and romantic. Good job!
I like the anime soo much, I waited for soo long for the anime! :) Good wallpaper! Thank you! (I also like, if not the same story is going to repeted like Gankutsuou or J+R :) )
Wonderful job, it's crisp, clean and the message of koi (love) is obviously displayed. This series is having one heck of a good jump start especially with its first two high quiality-made walls. +fav
After your other Romeo x Juliet wall, I looked up the scans for it and saw it and I thought I might use it later, but I'm glad to see that you did a great job with it, even though you beat me to it. Awesome work.
Wow, this wallpaper is so beautiful! It's simple but carries the light, innocent feeling of the pair so well. And nice job on vectoring; I remember seeing the magazine scan before and it had a lot of text on it.
