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.
I decided to vector this image from Lily Hoshino's Hanamuko-san because all her charas have this cute aura to them no matter what the story's about. I think I did the vector about 2-3 weeks ago and initially thought I'd try for a b&w background to fit the original scan but after downloading this pattern from www.sxc.hu I knew I wanted a combination of the flowers and colors to liven things up. I basically vectored all the bits I wanted from the pattern and exploded them onto my wall I vectored the japanese screens myself and added a wood and paper texture. I used drop shadows to give it more depth and finally I was done!! Anyway hope the yaoi fangirls enjoy~
Oh and the original scan of the image is from Hanamuko-san (which means bridegroom) scanlated by Obsession.
Woah! Hoshino Lily?! Lol, I don't think you uploaded the correct image for your credit because it's exactly the same as your wallpaper. Anyway, this is really interesting! The colors that you've used is... quite oriental lol. Or I don't really know, haha, but it sure feels that way. I just think that the cat (the way it's colored and the color) doesn't really match the rest of the wallpaper. Also, the shadows on the screens bug me for some reason... The flowers must have taken a while... good job! I like the textless version, hee hee.
Wo... now that's something...
You've done some really pioneering things on this piece. I love the scribbles that take the place of the cat's fur. The pattern you used on her clothes is a good choice. I love the vector and I don't really bother from the blue outlines. I also got to love the bunch of the vectored flowers around her. That's a fav!

Very nice wallpaper, I like the way you vectored and colored the image. this wallpaper draws attention to the original artist, too. I am going to look for her work now :)
