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.
First collaboration between booya and me, both newbies in the wallpaper business. (booya even got a fine)
Code Geass - Lelouch, The King Stands Alone.
anyway, this idea of a chessboard was booya's original and we thought it could be improved and converted into a higher resolution format (1920x1200), so almost everything was started from scratch. cleaning the wallpaper up was the biggest challenge, since we did not have any experience in vectoring. still, we hope that this wallpaper would be a good contribution to this amazing wallpaper community, AnimePaper!

update: 2nd Revision ^_^
thanks for the comments so far ^_^ i've replaced the corners, from pink to vile purple.
i also tried to eliminate the the aliasing in the chessboard, and tried to improve on the lelouch stock.
please tell me if this is good enough for the gallery ^_^
Amazing wallpaper! The chess table choise for the BG and with the various characters images is amazing!! And Lelouch is the king as always! He is so sexy!
You've choise very well the images for each character!^^
I'm happy to see that you too didn't gave up after the rejection of the wall.
The concept is really original and I have to say that the execution is lovely too.
If I have to be honest, Lelouch vector needs a bit of work but it still looks good
for a first attempt at vectoring.
Keep up the good work ;)

Hmm...what a catchy title for this wall...But i think it did live up to its name. This is a good wall, and the part that catches my eyes when i first saw it was the chessboard background. The chessboard squares are well done with all the characters featured in code geass(that is the part that i like most :P). And by the way, Lelouch is also a good or rather awesome chess player as shown in the anime itself. Therefore, i think he's worth standing above everyone else in this field. And if you look at it at a different point of view, you'll realise that Lelouch is also a worthy strategy adviser and you can assume that all of those on the chessboard are his pieces towards his success or objectives(except C.C. coz she is the one that Lelouch trusts most and she was his "kon han xia") Lastly, i would like to say that this is really a good wall and it definitely have what it needs to be in the gallery. Good JOB!

The position of the guy speak out the tittle of the wall:King stands alone.
ANd the chessboard and the pic on the chessboard emphasize the feel~
I love it!!Waiting for your next wall! I wanna give 10 fav(if i can)!!
Nice wall!
I like the whole chessboard thing...very creative n_n
The bg , however, is too...violet, it doesn't blend much with the chessboard
Nice job putting Lulu on the front, too
This Wallpaper is Really Amazing !
The Chess Table in Dark-Black Background with Characters' Faces are Wonderful.
The Starring's Sharp-Smiling Face is Impressive and Focus in This Wallpaper.
Thanks for Your Good Work.
I liked the concept of your wall since the first time i saw it; as said above everybody is disposable for Lelouch, that was an idea that is pretty amazingly represented on this wall.
And I'm really conform with the fact that you made the corners purple! Lelouch's color! I'm really glad your wall got accepted on AP
I love the whole chess board concept, it looks really cool. The purple combined with the black and white board also looks really cool. You did an excellent job on this wallpaper. Keep up the good work.

Keep up the good work ;)

Lol, everyone's just a pawn to Lulu, hey? Except maybe Nunally...
Wonderful execution of a creative idea. The vector could use a bit of smoothing out, but pretty good for a first attempt.
the checkers ; the hot guy
