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.
well I saw some awesome KOF scans on the frontpage the other day and decided to look through the gallery...found this scan of Shen...and suddenly had the urge to vector...so I tried vectoring without using the bezier curves in illustrator...and almost succeeded...but it looked super crappy in some parts, so I had to use the curves...ack...too bad the wall's so covered in gunk and crap that you can't really see the effect =_=...
Lol, I really am going to sue you for the non-creative title. Just kidding! Anyways, cool abstractness! I don't really know who the guy is, but the chaoticness seems to suit him really well. And... proper sleep is important you know!
I've always thought the KOF XI's official artwork is awesome; amazing considering what KOF 2001-2003 had been. I thought I wouldno more be able to see these characters properly drawn.
Needless to say, the vectoring is really good, notwithstanding it's certain jaggedness, which I guess is the point here. I must confess I am no fan of this street graffiti art style (it has conquered art rooms of most schools), but given Shen Woo's personality it is only befitting.
Well, I shall add it to my favourites. Am in that sort of mood today it seems ^^.
Superb wall! I agree with shiningdays that it is overlooked! The vector is very well done. The brushwork is a bit much, but I don't mind too much. I love the text, so don't change it! Are the white lines/curves done in 3dmax? I love them and I'm envious. Great wall!
This is a very unique wall. The colors are excellent, and the brushing is bizarrely fitting. You must have put a lot of work into the composition. Cool stuff, it definitely gets a fav from me. Too bad you had to crop it out of widescreen. >_<
I personally like the artwork used overall but the giant outline around the character really throws off my feeling for it. I would personally remove the outer stroke you have added on there.

the vector originally if you want to see...
Mostly done in Painter IX...but programs in the order they were used
Illustrator
Painter IX
3dsmax8
Photoshop CS3
Damnit I think I over did it with the brushwork...and the text...but I'll be damned if I'm gonna fix it at 3:53AM...
unfortunately there's no widescreen because if I crop it any more...Shen will be lobotomized
I need some sleep...I think...
ermm...you can also get the walls here too
EDIT: I got of my lazy ass and made a few mods for the widescreen version so here it is
