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.
Yay...finally done with this wall T-T

Yes, I drew most of the right side =X THere's really nothing special about it...only brushing, smudging, and erasing =/ Hardest part in this wall was actually replicating the panels. The ships were ones I cut from a pic. I haven't watched the anime yet but it seems very interesting, so if there's anything wrong, please forgive me XD The font still seems a little bit weird to me...=/ Hope you guys enjoy it! btw, I'm still open for any comments and suggestions!
I like the sepia style you chose for this wall, the ships look great and I like the sense of perspective and distance you managed to capture adding blur to some ships to make them look farther away than the un-blurred ones, the scan looks cool and blends really well with the background, I would advice you (as you pointed) to choose a different font, maybe a classic and italic font would do it, and also change the frase, eliminate "The" and just leave "Last Exile" (when you watch the anime you'll understand :D), besides that everything looks great, excellent work.
The added part looks really nice ... but the text sitting on the Edge really doesn't fit there (better would be the upper right quarter) AND you did cut off the top of her head, that's really not nessecary ...
Omg :faint:. Tatiana looks so sexy on this wall. First time seeing her like this. Good scan choice :D. Put the "Last Exile" logo (remove word "the" first) in the lower-right corner and make it bigger, I think it will look better that way. you couls use some other font too, this one isn't quite... I just think it doesn't fit :P Everything else seems fine. Maybe you can add some explosions in the air or around the ships. It will look more convincing, dunno.
Haven't watched it yet? you don't know what your missing. Watch it pronto. :)

Very nice. I like that you decided to extend the panels. You didn't change the basis of the scan, which is good. The best idea is not always to change everything. I especially like the ships on the right side. They're a good touch. Favorited.
I think it looks great, personally. Nice dusty sepia background, the whole thing works really well. The text does look out of place but the rest of the wall is great. Nice work. :)
The old photo effect looks good and goes well with the atmosphere of the show. The text is a bit of a nuisance. It just sort of///lingers there. But overall, it's a job well done!
I don't see the text, so I guess you removed it. It looks great, I'm a fan of the show and the whole feel of the wall is right. My on suggestion is that the next time, you should add an Urbanas (Irbanis?)-class ship or two in there. They started to make those tward the end. This is a truly good pic though and Tatinia is my favorie female in the show.
I've seen a good share of episodes on this anime, and I must say you captured it quite well. Like everyone else said, nice sepia feel to the wallpaper. Perspective and distance illussion is nicely executed. Work on the text a bit more and try and different spot. I just doesn't seem to fit there. If I must suggest is to get some billboard type of font and put it on one of the panels and then blended it so it looks like it was painted on there. All in all nice wallpaper ^_^.
I really like this. I'm surprised you haven't seen the series yet, because it really does seem to catch the essence of the series in this wall. The whole grungy, kind of poluted world all up in the sky. Excellent job! *favs*
Fav! woah, what a handmade art work, you said it's not nothing special smudging and brushing and so on, but I think that the result you came up with it's very impressive and hard, congratulations! I like it a lot!

I would remove "The" as Zai suggests, or elminate the text altogether.
