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 after an idle summer I have to build my callouses back up. The thumb thing is relatively new though, I must be doing something different...

Bass playing habits. That's why my fingers are sore.

~iroveashe 2 hours 5 minutes ago
What habits? >_>

$Poey 2 hours 6 minutes ago
Nah, I don't want new ones I need these ones to break in more. But my left thumb is really hurting right where the knuckle is >.< I guess I have some bad habits on my left hand.

~iroveashe 2 hours 8 minutes ago
Buy some new fingers then.

OMG, full-view, please!

What does the really long title mean?
"Koko wa Samurai no Kuni da" basically means "This is Samurai country/land" (and it also happens to be the name of my favorite song on the OST). I fell in love with this anime/manga ever since the preview in my Monthly Shonen Jump in Janurary 2006. I'm not going to go into the detail about what it means in relation to the wall, but I can say "GO WATCH GINTAMA!1!"

Anywho, this wall is completely vectored! Even my ugly rocks (which were done from scratch 'cause my internet wasn't working so I couldn't get any new stock). You can get the .PNG of the vector here @ EDD. The background swords are duplicates of Gintoki's sword 'cause I'm waaaay to lazy to vector new ones.
Original scan.
To be honest, the background is rather empty. I couldn't think of anything that would make it seem fuller without making it too cluttered and whatnot. So any suggestions would be appreciated.
Oh, and rain never falls down, it falls on an angle, so I'm not changing the rain!

Oh yeah:
Time: 10+ hours altogether
Layers: 46

Texture from DA! and cloud stock from Mayang.

Umm... I think there was more to say, but I can't remember :\

More resolutions available @ EDD as well as a Rain tutorial =D

EDIT: Made the rocks less strong and lowered the opacity of the rain on the rocks.

I really like your subtle use of rain. Most people make the rain so obscenely bright that it completely destroys the reality of it. Excellent job. I'll have to look into this anime :)

I love wallpapers like this. No insane brushwork done in Photoshop, just a nice clean wallpaper that works by itself without being gussied up. Thank you, and keep up the good work.

Looks kind of empty in the top right. Add some some text there, like the title or something. But the rest of the wall looks freaking amazing, and the vectoring, love it!

Nice.The first Gintama wall in the gallery. I think it looks great. The effects you used are top notch and so is the vectoring.

A GINTAMA wall!! Never thought I'd see one. Nice work here, although the big unfocused sword on the left really detracts the entirety of the wall.
