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.
It was a lovely scan to start out with ( see it here), however (and as usual) painfully covered in text. Also, it was ready to go as a widescreen wallpaper, but I needed to extend it on both sides and the top in order to make it fit for both resolutions. So I edited the characters to fit, and make them shiny. Then, since most of the text was on the background, I decided to re-create it. I made a few sheets of palm tree fronds and really just used them all over to create the trees that you see. That was the toughest part, the rest was the usual masking clouds and using masking and paint brushes to make a little beach :D
WoW...... O_o
Can't take my eyes of this wall, coz it looks so nice XD
Nice cleaning and it looks very nice on widescreen and love the title and the series. Haha well done

You've done a really good job de-texting the original scans, and I'm glad that there's a wide-screen version on your site as well. Then again, I often like most of your work anyway. I just wanted to add this to my fav, hence the comment~
Go go sos! Better make sure haruhi doesn't get bored though! Haruhi in shorts? yes please. A definite fave. asahina looks terrified as usual - not surprising though!. Yuki looks pretty hot as well.
I love how Nagato is on the front , though she has her back towards us. Tsuruya-san and Asahina-san both look cute as well. And Haruhi is as energetic as ever. Good work on the vector. [faves]
