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.
1 month of work = 2 weeks real hard work, 2 weeks slacking.
Lost count of how many shape layers and mouse clicks done.
150mb of hard disc consumed for the project.
2 slices of pizza eaten while working.
About teh wall:
100% vector, pink floor was mine, and so are the gift designs!
Most of the lines are non-existent but I made them appear, Lolz!!

*edit: thanks to ~PrinJess for noticing C.C.'s skin! checked my .psd file and yes, C.C.'s skin folder layer is unchecked.. haha, my bad. so its now fixed! thanks again!
There is so much win in this wallpaper that Im shaking as I type this. Seriously awesome job. The vector is too fantastic, the original scan was a little bit blurry so its defintely sweet to have a nice and clean version of it. The pink floor is great and looks so natural with the whole image. Plus its in awesome 2560x1200 widescreen resolution and its the holiday season which means this is going as my desktop background right now till the end of the year. C.C. is too hot
Thank you so much for making this wonderful wallpaper. *adds to favorites*
Agh jaggies... but good work on getting those light pinkish tones on the skin, the gift designs too.
personally, I don't know how you guys manage to vector 2560 res in PS, lags like hell whenever I try something bigger than 1920(1920*2= 3840x2400= lag hell =__=')

Where is C.C's skin? I don't think you colored her skin because it lacks the quality of the rest of the vector; it almost looks like .jpeg. The shading and highlight has been filled, but the base color is missing. Not to blame you for your effort (I would never have the patience to vector this), it's a wonderful effort, but a lot of things are lacking. It's nice and colorful, the outlines are exceptional, and it fits the holiday season.
I'm a bit sensitive when it comes to vector artists giving them advice, so I hope I wasn't being too blunt on you. Keep practicing more and a great job! ^^
Wow really nice christmas wallpaper ^-^ love the gifts and overall christmas feeling this wallpaper has just what i needed in time for the season ^-^ thank you for the hard work ^-^
Nice job. Good work with making all those gifts. I like the wrapping paper with the cat. hehe. Everything is nice and bright and very fitting for the holiday season. Nice~
Lol.. I think i know what i want for christmas now (if i were an anime character). I love the background on this, matches the colors perfectly. I'm STILL not sure how i feel about pizza hut sponsoring the show, but hey.. It works somehow lol..
Wow, if this isn't a great way to show some holiday spirit, i don't know what is. amazing job, love the brightness and colours of this wall. not to mention the people :P they look... um... happy. thank you so much for the wall and it really looks vectored. keep it up and happy holidays everyone :D
Great vectoring work!
It looks so clean^o^
And I definatly prefer the wrapping paper you chose~
Also wth? Isn't that the lucky star kitty in the top right present
Woah! This is hard work, I can tell. You've done a great job with the vectoring. Not bad in changing the color of the floor. My, this vector work is so neat and well. But there are some jagged lines, but it's still good. Lelouch, C.C. and Karen make this Christmas wallpaper special.

It's Christmas soon and I'm here with a hope to see any nice X'mas theme wallpaper and here it is. This wallpaper's wonderful, with nice vector. The pink floor look nice, suit the subject well, if I must say. Oh, hope your future works will be as awesome as this!
