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.
I've always loved Okama's art ever since I found out he designed the characters for Gunbuster 2. I liked their style, so I just went on to find more of his work. The character isn't from Cloth Road, but I though it was a fitting name for the wallpaper because I made a road of sorts from the cloth the girl is wearing.
I wanted to make a background based entirely on what the girl was wearing, and really make it work as a wallpaper. You can see from the original scan where I re-drew elements from her dress and combined them into the background. Suffice it to say, everything in the background is somewhere on her kimono garb.
Turned out kind of colorful and fun but not really suited for the 16:10 aspect ^^; That's what happens when I'm not really thinking "wallpaper" when I start XD
Ouch... Okama art... must not resist...
This is a very nice wallpaper of one of my favorite artist's artwork..
Niiiceeee...
Just a bit of a 'real' commenting though:
Somehow the moon doesn't look like it belong there... compared to the ukiyo-e style of the rest...

How creative of you to use the designs on the kimono for the BG! It's a bit hard to differentiate her and the BG up close, but it still looks great. It's also really interesting how there's a 3D-ish sky behind the flat cloth. Fave~
