Hmm... this wall pretty much killed me. I've been working on this on and off, but rushed it out to (near) completion last night... 9+ hours of straight vectoring = dead flyin... :E
Nothing really original about this wall... I just wanted to practice the painty-looking vector style and also to give stroke outlines a go. In the past I've definitely been one of those people who are like "Ew stroked outlines :E" but there's so much control over stroked paths in Illustrator, I actually think now that it's a function that's not really utilized to its full potential.
Motoko + Tachikoma(s) vectored from this scan. 99.5% Illustrator - all vector shapes, no gradients (which was a really dumb decision given that I was working on this during crunch time); just did color touch-up and re-sig in Photoshop. Thanks to taters for support x3 and alienzero for requesting a light gray version... I think I like how this looks better too xD
Dedicated to Josh, my friend since near diaper days, who loves GITS so much that he sent me the boxed DVDs of the first season as a present... this is my long-overdue present for him. Thanks so much *loves*
I have to say I really like this wallpaper. Despite it not really showing Motoko it is very well made and I for one hate Illustrator with a passion. So I have respect for those that can use it this well. Awesome job.

Eeew! spiders! ha, this has this weird feeling, painting/vector style, very nice. Hope this will be the new trend :3 very stylish and purple! aw! love it :3
Wow, a really amazing wallpaper...as usual might I say. Love the wallpapers you've done. Love how it's clean and soft with the colours. Definitely a +fav for me.
I love the simplicity and austerity of this wall. Sometimes it's the simplest of things that are the best. Great job with this. My only complaint is that viewing angle is a bit too sharp. Perhaps something more horizontal would give it a little more.. oomph, ya know?
Since you asked some more opinions/comments, i think Motoko is a little "faceless"... if you could do her lips/eye details, i think it would be even better ;-)
Nice work on the vector. i see the style is becoming more popular and you did really good. i doubt i'll ever be doing that, my sense of colors isn't that great ;p
you're definitely getting my vote at vectorness! :)
Well it is quite nice in vector...of i realy wan my opinion is the hair is quite strange in color....i don't know how to describe but that is my feel...
