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.
Im just lovin the scan gallery here, thats where I found this sweet scan. then I extracted it and slapped it on (what I think) is a great background. The images where no where near close to matching, so I decided I wanted to go for a rustic , worn, and old feel. So I dropped the saturation and gave it a deep sepia tone. After some level and curve adjustments I multiplied the the BG with a worn piece of paper I keep around. After some final tweaking and giving guts a shadow, I gave the whole thing a slight canvas texture.
Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by.
P.S. I wanted to mention after reading comments that, in my head, guts is sitting down, and "reflecting" maybe thinging about Gambino or something. thats just how I imagined it ^_^
Love it. Just the medieval and old castle-age design that I like to see. And it is this way I wanted the anime to look like. Anyway, I like how you have made the things in the background look real and yet fake at the same time. The only thing that is weird for me is that Gutts looks like he's going on that bloody place, when usually he only returns from them, and with that serious look he has, I would have preferred if he was looking the other way making him look like 'I get sick of slaying and killing every day..there must be some other way'. While now he seems a bit hesitant about going, which isn't like him at all since he loves slaying and going into battles when he does it. Also the shadow is his right? Isn't it a little big for him? He's the young Gutts. But anyway I still love that wallpaper:)
Sure looks real good
at least at first glance...
his shadow really seems too big
possibly, gatts looks too big himself... maybe you should have put the ground a little bit lower, cos now it somehow seems like there is not enough space underneath him to fit the rest of his body before the ground comes
also the castle doesnt blend with the bg well enough
but overall its a good one
OMG!!this is my FAV for sure
