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.

This is just one of those wallpapers you have to see to believe. The highlights and shadows bring the characters to life in a way that the original image didn't even begin to do. Definitely a work to admire ^^

a month or so of hell =.= this is one of the scans I fell in love with a long time ago. I worked on it a bit, got lazy, dropped it. I only opened it again for the contest... 1 month to finish, and I went from love-hate-love-hate over and over.
Favorite part: dragon. I doubt people will remember anything about this but the dragon anyway =.=
Hated part: BG. Made the rightmost house from scratch, no reference used.
Thank-yous (READ: THEY'RE WONDERFUL PEOPLE)
~otaku99 for the critique. If this wall succeeds, most of it is thanks to you :3
°jigoku-shonen for suggesting the no-stocks... ahhhh hey wait WTF?!?! YOU NEARLY KILLED US!!
~farizthree for being a good opponent, and for putting up with my endless 'slack off and I'll kill you' messages.
`Danalm for mercilessly pushing convincing us to give it our best.
`elfe-noire43 for giving me inspiration to put a dragon in in the first place. Although her dragon ended up looking too fierce for the 'peace' theme, I wouldn't have thought of putting one in without her awesome vector.
`k1ru, ^Dioma, and `halcyonTwilight for suggesting I lighten Kuro a bit for this second version.

Hey pretty awnsome work. I like the complex vector it's such a good job. The dragon is my favorite part in this wall. The blur efect is real nice. congratz on the well done wall. gotta love it. :)
Wow. this is really good.
Nothing much to say because i don't know what to say. lol
The vector work is great and the lighting stuff.
Just have to say that its too orange *for me*..
but its still going in my favourites.!
hope to see more from you!
Wonderful job! I love it. I really like Dragon effect, you just made this wallpaper more cooler. I think it could brighten the wallpaper little more. But hey it really great overall. Add to favourite.
The dragon looks awesome =3 ~ But I think Tomoyo's face looks a lil bit weird for me ^^" ~ Hehe ~ anyway, the background is really nice too!! I just love it~
Keep up the good work =3
