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.
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.
Made for the WAR : Stone Wall Mafia vs. Vertigo Assembly. We lost T^T Ah well. I got to play around with perspective so all's good. But we lost by 2 pointsssssssssssss /insert irritated flailing/ Of course, not counting AWOL-ers. But still.
CHALLENGE : 3 colors, discounting white and black, Gonzo anime.
I decided to use GANKUTSUOU which is like, my < 3, because it's known for its floral and beauuuuuutiful [or, in certain people's cases, "hideous"] patterns, and I wasn't going to use any at all 8D Yeah. It turned out rather plain-ish but to hell with overcomplicated walling < 3 Which is ironic, considering one of my WIPs.
You'll notice that each panel/time on the clock is a different character, ja? I vectored the clock off a Google search find, and then I tried to place opposite personalities opposite from each other [like the Count vs. Franz, Haydee vs. Cavalcanti, etc]. The scans these images are from are all in the AP Gankutsuou gallery. You also might not be able to tell, but underneath Albert, in the middle of the clock, is an eye, and the two words on the clock are "Wait" and "Hope".
Time is an important concept in Gankutsuou too; as the series winds down, events start to click together as the Count's revenge slowly starts to build up, and Albert's time to stop him gets smaller and smaller.
I typed a lot, didn't I? Ah well. Justin's like "WALL" and I'm like "Lazy =w=;;" and Andy's like "Make more painty walls" and I'm like "Ahhh painting /hides in corner and cries/".

Umm... I thought the challenge needed 5 colors.
Anyway, I love this wall! It's really unique and the concept is absolutely gorgeous. You chose B&W for the character which really makes it seem like time has paused or sth. You placed the clock really well and the perspective is really something different. I also like your colour choices and think this one was my favourite from your team's entries.
I love how this makes my eyes move around to see which characters you took the time to vector. I loved this series (and still do) and will give you props on the awesome perspective...
I really like the vector and especially the coloured circles, but I feel like the left hand side is a little too empty. Anyway Great wallpaper, and I hope to see more from you =]
After my abscence here i am again...
What can i actuall say about this apart from that i like the vectoring work and the colours that you used. As for the perspective, hell, it is good, you definitely placed the character in the right position and the clock-circle fits perfectly.
Lily! xD
this is the wall you said before? ;D its great 8D me love that empty space, the concept and those colors 8D rgb ne? xD well i kinda dont like the face, but its cool ;D great wall < 3333

Nice~ I really like the angle. And that you only used a limited amount of colors.
It's just amazing~ Seeing this wallpaper makes me wanna finish watching this anime~
Yay for Gankutsuou! A great wall for a great anime. =3
I love how you vectored each of the characters on the clock. Nice perspective too.
The left side seems kinda empty, but as you said, plain is good. So overall, great job on the whole thing. ^_^
I really like the idea behind this, but a lot of the lines got messed up when you tilted the perspective. Some of the lines on the clock thing got really wonky and blurred, and even some of the characters did (especially the Count and those around him). Also, the text got blurry from being tilted so much, so it probably would have been a better plan to vector it.
I really really like the concept of this, but the execution could use a bit of work (making perspectives work is hard, though!) and the colours could probably be a bit more eye-catching and less washed out.
The idea behind it is definitely solid! It could just use a bit of fixing up (:
Lol. This was totally unexpected. I didn't really expect you to put up a wall here in the next 1,000,000 years xD Except for our collab wall of course, but that doesn't count =P
Back to the wall, I love your vector work as usual ^^ But like I said, the background could have had something going on in it. Otherwise, the simplistic minimalism is very nice. I agree with Misuchi that some of the things in the clock look a bit distorted from the perspective tool, but that really wasn't something you could deal with other than re-make it again o_O And we all know how much work that would have been.
Awesome wall. Hopefully this won't be your last wall for awhile ^__^ +Fav

I love the idea of placing the vectored charas within the clock, the vector of Albert is awesome, so is the perspective. The colors are great as well, this is such a well themed wall for Gankutsuou, love it so I'll fave.

anyway, love the restrained colors. this one really fits the melancholy theme.

fav anyway. anyone who can use so many colors while still retaining the original theme rocks.
