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.

Hmm… what should I say. This wall makes no sense. It just reflects my feeling in a not obvious way xD
I feel like falling for months now without stopping without knowing what will happen and whatever I try to do just goes wrong. Who cares really I try not to.
Starting tomorrow I’m gonna take a break in walling. I probably will come back in January with a new wall. Hopefully that’s gonna be a better year.
This wall was just to kill my stress and bad mood. It doesn’t make any sense really just a quick and messy wall. Special thanks to Asa, Clara and Umboody for their helpful advices before submitting.
I adore nao Tukiji’s artworks and I fell in love with this scan: http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Nao-Tukiji/item149442/
- The layer opacities are low on purpose
- Her legs are missing on purpose. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it look enough obvious why: I think I failed as a waller after knowing this xD
And I dont care about the jaggy edges : D
Really. The whole makes no sense it’s just playing with shapes and colors. But do you know what? I like it.
Just as messed up as my life is.
Great!.. i love how it turned out.. and i'm glad my advise helped a bit X3 ...
what can i say that i haven't already told u? mmm
i know xD , i loveee blue and that dress looks so sexy lol..
the neckline is really cool.. i wish i had an ocation to wear a dress like that x3
aside from the wallie... why do you turn yourself down ilona...
life is always a mess.. so laugh at it.. you know i even laugh at it when i'm sick xD (though i shouldn't lols.. doctors surely hate me, i'm the worst patient ever lols )
nothing else to say than +fav
(am i second in commenting? xD i guess i'm probably not since i'm so slow with english comments xD)

All right now! One of the very first few to comment for a change! XD Anyway the wall is typical you: Great verging on perfect. It has just about everything I love about your work at the moment. From the beautiful shapes that just seem to come out of nowhere but just fit perfectly in your walls to those nice abstract backgrounds That only you seem to be able to do. *adds a fav*
And about your comment on taking a break: Go ahead and try to enjoy yourself. I'm just now starting to get out of that "falling" stage myself so I may know slightly what your going through. Sometimes you just got to go off and go against the current of life or some other cliche saying you can think of. XD Hope to see you soon. Maybe wth something new to bring to the AP Crowd. :)
I like it too. It's gorgeous, as per usual from you. I love the colors and the flowers. You call it messy, but man, I could only wish to wall something that good. Looking forward to your next work!
As for life it's just a little messy so smudge it a bit and make it better for yourself or maybe just climb out of the hole that most people fall in. (I don't think you should listen to my viewpoint on life, because it's probably too vague to help.)
I like this wall. It continues to show just how you can recreate the image entirely. However, this wall makes me a bit sad as well. Because you successfully entrapped your feelings in it. When I first looked at it, I almost immediately had the same feeling I get when I've had a real bad day at work and I just want to fall to the floor and give up. A defeated feeling if you will.
But we all need a rest now and then. I shall wait for your return, in hopes that your renewed vigor will bring with it Walls that will astound! Be safe, and may your travels be kind.

I think it makes perfect sense, the wall. :)
The background is nice and for some reason fits the vector well.
It is a break from your walls with more scenic outdoorsy backgrounds and it is nice just like those.
Your vectors never cease to amaze. :)
Don't feel dismayed or like you aren't good enough because you make some of the best walls on this site. Take a deserved break, but definitely come back strong like I know you will. ^_^
Good luck!

Wow what a beautiful vector. I'm just gonna start listing the things that make this wall awesome:
-very clean vector with transparency ( reminds of Greyserg's stuff)
-the flowers that weren't part of the original scan
-textures in the back
-abundance of colours
-the dress splashing off at the top right
Ah, it's finally here. and you are welcome for what little i could do to help. :P heh, on my monitor, her blush still looks purplish and bruise-like, but the other stuff is better. *thumbs up* and while jaggedness normally bug me, i find that i can completely overlook signs of it with your stuff. o__o miracle! > :D 'cause it's really just a pretty minor issue AND there is just so much else there to appreciate. for example, i really adore the girl's dress.
*sigh* you know, i'm kinda running out of ways to praise you. xD so i'm just going to reword what i say every single time: your gift for vectoring and your endless patience (no matter what you say about this being quick and senseless) are here in this wall, just as they are in your previous works. so to sum up all the good things i can say about you and your walls, just one adjective is actually required: extraordinary.
this community responds in such an incredible way to your work because we love what you do. so don't let anything get you down anolibb :D we'll all be impatiently waiting for and eagerly anticipating your return in the new year. x] so enjoy your break, relax, and have fun. you just better come back though, lol.
Its when i look at the orig. scan compared to this that i see just how amazing the fluidity of your vectors are. great choice of artwork and great wall :3 the perspective was a bit confusing for me at first, ahaha, but that was because i thought that giant veil of cloth in front of her was her arm at first and i was like "! confusion!" but now i get it so yay! :D youre amazing. i hope your mood improves although if a bad mood can churn out something this great i can only imagine what youll pull out of your magic bag of tricks when youre in a happy mood :S

omai i have to be the one to make this 20 out of 20 :3 awesome vector as usual, the girl looks amazing. Love her hair, and the dress is loverly. Seriously, the part of the dress around her body is awesome. But i think you could have done a bit more with the bg.. i dunno, to me it doesnt fit the girl. but other than that great job!
