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! EXCEPT for all the blood. Would've been nice without all the red.
And the shadow of Guts is somehow unfitting. It breaks the realism because it doesn't look right proportionally.
I really like the warm colors incorporated in this piece. The background artwork seems to match the scan as well. A plus for the added canvas texture, it makes it feel very medieval. Very nice wallpaper! +fav
