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.
Sometimes I wonder how people come up with there idea's for wallpapers. Every wallpaper is unique in its own way but some show a fresh breeze trough the toughts of everyone. Popart is something you see every now and then but mixed together with this blend of Alice in Wonderland look makes it just something fresh and new.
Thats why this wall of storm-and-fire deserves to be highlighted. They have been producing great wallpapers for some while now ofting combining there strenghts into masterpieces. These 2 sisters are a perfect match strengthening there weaknesses with good teamwork resulting in awesome craftmanship.
On previous wallpapers we could see there vectorring and landscape skills, ore there fresh toughts and crazy ideas on how to go loco with a bit of art into it.
Only this time it was perfected. A vector so outstanding it makes you wonder where they got it from. colourd with shades different tones a glancing to it and a softness to go with the background.
The background is remarkable, it might be a bit blurry compared to the vector it still remains a unique work if you see into it that they used a tablet to draw it by hand and finish it off with colouring. Somehow it becomes budhistic with childsplay mixed into it.
and the all out idea behind this wallpaper is one you dont have to understand. there is no emotion to this wall just happyness with candy on top, all mixed together in sirup and some gummybear madness. I
I could go on some more and some more but i think a image says more then 1000 words, so click it today and witness the power of colour!

Hello everybody! Storm calling! We're bringing something new! This is the first Storm-AND-Fire wallpaper (as in we both made it, even though it's primarily Anna's).
Well, Anna had been working on it for some time, but it became a collab during the last week. I helped her a bit with it. Whenever she got tired, I would take control. For example, I made a super detailed vector of the girl's cellphone (it doesn't show, does it?), drew some of the fluffy clouds, the rainbows on the left side and coloured most of the popart. Here's what she wants to say:
Anna
Hi everyone! Long time no see!
This is my first time vectoring and drawing popart. Popart is fun! Vectoring is not! The lineart took me about 3 weeks. 0.0
So, my part on this wall was the vectoring of the girl (except of the part Maria did), the drawing of popart, door, wall texture, rainbows on the right side, 1/4 of the popart colouring, and other adjustments.
Anyway, hope you like the wallpaper. It beat the crap out of both of us. Thank God our parents are cooperative! Have fun!
Anyway, collaborating was actually weird. We had a hard time, but it was really fun and we're both liking the result.
So... in case you haven't fullviewed and looked on the right side, this wallpaper is our loving gift for `k1ru!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, `k1ru!
You didn't think we forgot you, did you?
And well... because Anna did not screencap the steps throughout her progress, I took the liberty and made this little pic of fullsized or 50% resized parts of the vector (the 25% version is used on the wallpaper):
We both hope you like it and of course, we would like to see your comments!
Thank you!
Now back I got to my other 10 WIPS... T______T

First of all "Happy Birthday K1ru"!
I am very impressed by this wallpaper concerning a. it is a gift, b. it is pop art, c, it is colourfull (so it made my day).
What i like the most is the background, which is pretty funny :) Imust say the girl is very well designed too and fits the theme quite perfectly.
The only thing i find a little bit weird is the floor. It looks blurry or maybe it's an art style i do not know (or something like that). I ve also noticed the door behind the girl, is there a symbolic meaning behind it?
Oh, that is all i think for today. Time to go.
+fav
Omg, this is absolutely amazing and what a wonderful gift to give to someone. i love all the designs, down the very last details. made an instant favourite and i hope to see plenty more walls coming from you :) i just totally love the colours, the background, the wall design even! anyway, great job, honest!
The wall really looks like a real wall would. Dirt and mold, textures, wore-off paint and lighting make it look believable. The character colour and shading looks clean and subtle in the whole composition. Although there are some visible pixelated edge on the curve in the wall mural however, overall it a great WP.
So this is the 'new' thing you mentioned before? this looks a lot like our school walls XD before they were repainted. I love the graffiti all over, especially that weird pencil-looking scribble on the left.
also, grats on your first collab :3 of course this is a fav.
Muhahaha
where did you find that pic?
its goddamn awesome
whoever vectored the face did some great job
the chainsaws design is foolish, but oh well...
btw, her knees seem to be shaded somewhat oddly
no other complaints
its just as perfectly insane as insanely perfect
Oh.. it is so colorful, awesome, you did a good work on the background,
unfortunately i think the hair and the skin color of the girl seems look a bit strange, not the same style with the background..i mean.. too shiny?? hope you can get my meaning =.=""
anyway, it is a good try, nice job ^^
It is again a master achievement! These wallpaper is simply only unbelievably beautiful. And then you also still cooperated. That can only be a great work ^^. All the many colors and leyers. 5000 ? O.o You two are wallpaper machines.
Of course give it from me a favie
Zomg! it so pretty!! O______O i surrenders to you guyz! XDD your officially the best wallerz eva! wonderful colors! and overall design is awesome!! of course its a fav!!

I love the color and design and the irony of the chainsaw chick right in the middle (never have seen the anime myself though)
Keep up the great work^.^
