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.
reasons for making the wall:
because mao is just so hilarious in this scene x3 because, i admit, i'm too addicted to photoshop to properly go on my walling hiatus. because i wanted to see how wonderful it is to vector without lag (my old computer was very slow).
stuff:
hundreds of layers spent on the bushes. hundreds of colors. each leaf is hand drawn, which took a long time. i have NO idea how i managed to finish it all, because i have very little free time these days. i proclaim it a miracle! xD but still, school means compromising my plans for this wall, since i didn't do everything the way i wanted to. add that to laziness and i ended up not adding more detail to the bushes towards the right or to the wall. >__< gomen.
thanks to kiru and justin for their feedback! and of course, because of the title, this one is for you, bakaneko. ;] think of it as a bday present...a couple of months early. ^^; i know you wanted a neji wall but...
oh the poor kitty-nyah! Hehe although I do feel extremely SHPECIAL that I was part of it ;) Hehe. Can't say I like the shot too much T__T But I'm sure I would have under other circumstances (cough cough if she weren't torturing the bakaneko) But it looks very nice indeed =3 Emo. Nyah.
But you know me. I can't end it there >_> I think some more detail would have been awesome, but unnecessary. Your vectoring rocks as it is, and the nitty-gritty details in the leaves and such don't really need to be there. What counted was that you did an amazing job vectoring, and you kept the outrageous-ness of the scene alive.
Awesome, awesome job. Love your work :)

Don't know why but this look more cartoonish to me more than manga-ish maybe because of the colors or the thick lines, i don't really care for the woman but i absolutely adore the BG, it's awsome, i thought it was a photo at first, i don't know why but it seems like the woman with the cat doesn't blend in with the bg really well, even though i try to compare this with the original picture lots of time, they both look the same but somehow, the origial picture seems to blend better than this one
well, it's just me, so don't mind if i got it wrong
+fav for a bg and your great patience
No need my other comment, right? XD and nah, this one is better than the previous version :P the gradient is not too... errr... 'gradient-ish'? XD new words yeah ;D
See? :)
I'm not the only one who vectors plants XD
and others (like you too) do it just as amazingly (if not more than me). : D
I lub the BG and I think the outlines are a bit too thick compared to the soft anddetauiled background but somewhere those lines give the "plus" to the wall's stlye.
blah blah I can't see what I type (darnkess and too lazy to turn on the lights --- ok I admit this is serious XD) so I just go back to my room to finihs my wallie. XD
You drew all those leaves? Holy cow... I don't think I'd have the patience.
The thumbnail is great, but it's simply fantastic full-view. Excellent work!
