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.
When I finished my underwater wall (July 22nd), I started working on this scan. This time, I wanted to do something less painful and since lineart would take me one week to make on my other walls, I decided I should just skip this part. So, for this wall I decided to paint with the airbrush and instead of blending with it, which is time consuming, I decided I should use the smudge tool for a change. I liked the result.
I painted clouds with stock reference 'cause I wanted to have some really fluffy clouds and my weak mind needed help.
So, as you can see, I repainted/cleaned the scan, expanded the sky, the ground she is standing on, and everything else on the scan. No lineart guys, sorry. ;-;
Text is from the translation of Re-Sublimity by Kotoko. I really have no idea what the title means. lol
So uhm, as you can see, I am trying some changes in my style. Next time it could be vector. Hehe, beware!
Anyway, I hope you like it. Comments are appreciated as I always say. ^^

Omg! I love that song! (me listens to it everyday ^_____^) Anywho, awesome walll! The sky is so nice! omg! its really nice.. and of course the character is nice to! fav!
Well, it's a nice job, re-cging, cleaning and extending that scan. Although candy-chan already cleaned and walled that very same scan some time ago, so this wallpaper kind of feels like a clone of hers, although you probably were not aware of that. But overall it's still a good job.
Omg Oo'
just how the heck you manage to do so cool wall so fast do you even sleep?
but I undestand you, after my Claymore wall I'm also tyring to do less exhausting walls anyway, sad there's no my resolution 1280x1024
I love choose of text although I don't recognise song itself, also nice it's nice placed.
Maybe it's not so incredible and innovative wall but it doesn't change the fact that it's damn good
Keep it up desu )
Your painting is wonderful.
You should paint in all your walls now XP, jk.
But yeah.. the background is awesome.
The textless one is best.
And I agree her chest looks very.. odd. o_O
But that's probably just the way the scan looked.
You both are a walling machine! :D I think this is very well done. The repaint and the extension of the scan is awesome. you did a good job as usual. I like the choice of your scan the pose and the surrounding gives the impression feel of freedom. Very refreshing cheers for another great wall in my collection. :)

You used the smudge very well here :) I wish I was as versatile as you :( You both are very adept at using various styles, and this wall definitely shows that. The scan extensions on both sides of the scan are flawless and clean, and the sky is vast and gorgeous. I'm not too much a fan of the text placement, but overall it's another very nice wall ^^ +fav
Simply amazing!!
I like the back you create, the clouds are awesome and the colors are so cool!!
amazing style and composition, she looks so lonely and peaceful... and the painting job is crazy!!
You should be proud of it, it´s amazing!
I think it could be a highlighted wall... one thing is for sure, it´ll go directly to my favorites!

Your wall this time has a definite different air about it like you mentioned...I wont bother with the "graphical details" opinion. I think you've already heard enough wow's and yay's so...not fav. yet! Wait for it :P
What I wanna say is that the text placement here along with the way you re-painted the whole scenery kind of gives the sensation of seeing a poster out of a new-to-come anime or a promotive two-page psoter out of a magazine! And I love that!
Now you get the fav! You deserve it ;)
