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.
This wall took me a year and a half to complete.
Your next question is..."are you freakin serious? This piece of crap?!"
Well, A long time ago in an attempt to back-up my laptop I archived all my walls onto some obscurly named folder on my external HD. Today, I explored that HD and found this wall, half finished. So, because I like the scan, I decided to finish it!
it's nothing special, just a simple wall of a girl laying in some grass. Like I said, I like the scan, and so, a nice simple relaxing wall was what I wanted to do. Scan was a bit of a bitch to work with cause her arms and legs aren't all flat in the grass, so I had to kind of decipher in some places which parts i should have up, and which should be in the grass.
Anyways, while it's nothing special, or even fav worthy really, I thought I would share.
First off, anyone that calls this a piece of crap can't recognize true talent when they see it. By the thumbnail alone, you can only begin to see how gorgeous this work of art truly is. Immense detail was paid to the grass and the shadowing. Normally, I haven't been too fond of walls with grass, mostly because it's so difficult to pull off well. Though this, this is something different. Especially with the perspective that you went with too, there is so much grass too and it all looks great. As i said, I really love the shadowing, as well as the lighting. Perfectly done that anyone can tell that she's rather close to the tree that she's under, while her right arm and leg are a bit further, exposed by the light . To you, this may not be anything special. To someone like me, however, I absolutely adore it. Probably one of the finest outdoor walls I've ever seen. I cannot say I can find a single thing about this wall I would ever dislike. Definitely going straight to my desktop and staying there for awhile. Thank you for not only finishing this, but sharing it too :__:.
Well, it's abeautiful work, you have a big talent, I have problems to use edition programs, I only draw and scan, but I'm not really a creative person. your wallpp reflect peace, calm, it's pretty, i adore it.
Amazing work! i really LOVE the grass and how she flats at it! simply Wow! !!
and i love the things you have added like the book and her shadow !
really a piece of art! ^^

Very different type of wall - somehow she works with the realistic grass.
You incorporated the scan well into the grass.
It is a nice scan, very peaceful looking.
I'm not surprised how beautiful this is. You made the grass looking so real and soft, detailed...
The branch shadows are perfect, as well as the color theme and the books spread around.
It's alive. I can almost hear the birds singing.
You might look down on your own work, be it out of pure humility or sincere distaste, I think you are too hard on yourself. It's very nice work! I love the scan you used, and I especially love the job you did with the tree and the shadows. The entire wall works well together and it feels complete while at the same time achieving a uniqueness that expresses itself nicely. Great job and don't be so derogatory of your own work, be proud of it. Congrats on a good wall. *faves*
Grass has always been one of those really simple looking but really hard to pull of effects for me, and I can tell you worked really hard on the grass on this wall. The whole wall might look really simple, but I can tell you put a lot of effort into it, I really like the whole look and feel of this one. Great job.
Me thinks your being harsh on this lovely wall ;3 i like the simplicity of this, and how everything in this wall looks so..**i dunno how to word this** but, dry.. xD and and the grass O_O i swear, i was looking at the grass for so long before commenting .__. at first i was like, maybe its stock photo.. but then i thought that grass isnt real looking enough to be from stock.. anywho, it fits well with the scan ><'' and nice use of textures. the only major thing for me is that the grass overlapping the character looks a little weird >_>
i think maybe if the grass going on top of her was darker it would be better.
and yess this is very much so fav worthy ;D

i don't know why this wall is rated C!
though the girl's tone doesn't quite match with the grass (maybe she's too bright/ grass too dark)
this still deserves an S! or an A! dammit!
love it.. i think after a month, this wall will be rated A or S and so on..
The branch shadows are perfect, as well as the color theme and the books spread around.
It's alive. I can almost hear the birds singing.
What else can I say?
NOT a piece of crap.
it's beautiful !
I love the tree branches' shadows :)
good job !
i think maybe if the grass going on top of her was darker it would be better.

I like this one a lot better than your last one. The shadows are kind of weird, though.
Let's go see a movie, oohohohoo.
