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 was out for 5 months ... omg
well i've gotten sick of vectoring , vectoring pictures that already looks cool... like almost all the scans in the scan gallery and other stuffs... im just tired of copying ... well this one is probably the last time i make a picture with a ready lineart which is not made by me ... anyway i started this at least 4 months ago than got lazy , than started again , and suddenly the psd was 4 months old haha time goes fast! this is the manga page which was colored , i used another manga page for the snake's head but i cant find it ...
ps cs2 than cs3 was used ...
oh yes ... anyone who has ever seen that stock texture in the background and know who made it please tell me! thanks =)
also : the writer of those nice black kanjis is the famous woodblock artist Katsushika Hokusai (scanned them from a book xD )
the red ones are random (and its not blood! or it doesnt meant to be blood ... they are just red , wrote with red ink maybe) anyway dunno what all kanji mean but probably nothing =)
you can crop it if you want 5:4 or 4:3 version , sorry there is no other version
hope you like it =)
see ya
okay since everyone said the wood sucks i uploaded it without it , also removed the red kanjis cuz they didnt looked cool without the wood ... WOODLESS
Beautiful! I really like this wallpaper, I agree with everyone else this is defiantly something fresh from all the vectoring thats been going around, thank you for this breath of fresh air, this totally deserves a fav in my opinion. keep this work up, I really cant wait to see more from you.
It is neither good nor evil, but thinking makes it

Oh my god this is brilliant a real piece of art. The planning and execution are without a doubt the best I have seen since being a member here at AnimePaper. The shadowing and colors flow as if they were meant to be together, and the background fits perfectly. I like the haze effect that you used around the Orochimaru snake, it gives your a real sense of a foreshadowed event. The red symbols look great but the splotches on the right look like blood for sure I see you said they are not supposed to be but I wondered what are they then?
i agree with you that there are too much vectored wallpapers out there. i mean i'm not all against vectored graphics, but i think sometime it's best to retain it's original look.
i think you chose the right scan for your wall. the colouring was done well and by adding the snake makes this wall look great, as if sasuke's trying to kill someone. the background on the parchment suites the atmosphere.
overall i believe you did a great job. i totally gave up on naruto, but i still love this wall. good work!
I was just wondering the other day when we would see a new wallpaper from you, and low and behold, here it is! And it doesn't disappoint. It's pretty much awesome. +fav +desktop
Damn, don't see much grunge wallpapers around AP anymore... this is really one of the best I've seen in a while. I love the snake in the bg, and though I think Sasuke's an emo kid I am faving this >3
Personally, I hate Sasuke because of his attitude but with this wall it really shows the character of Sasuke and I really like the snake around him. The writings on the right and the use of the paper to create a sort of painting on it is really nice especially the wood finishing as the background is really nice. Wonderful piece of artwork.
I don't know you pulled this off, but I think you should get a big award for this. The colours are amazing, it really looks like the art are painted on a paper. And the nicely blended kanji on the paper makes it look japanese, really cool. All I can give you are a thank you and a definitely fav.
Wow, really nice wallpaper, really like the sasuke pic and snake pic from the manga used. I actually like the wood effect, and think the kanji and blood effects suite it well. The edges of the scroll paper could use some work though, anyway, good job and keep up the good work, hope to see some more great work from you soon. Definitely going to add this wallpaper to my favorites for sure! :D
Looks so damn great!! OMG, I really like the way you've made the wall, Sasuke looks so awesome in it!! I really like this wall, very good work!! (+fav)

The effects are just gorgeous, the backgrounds looks impressive and the final result is amazing. Great wallpaper.

great blending and composition work with the almost painting look.
my only complaint is that the wood should be splintered or have some depth, it looks realistic but flat... keep it up!
