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.
My first wall of 2008 and probably the last one
i was doing this since last year, but never got time to finish it till now
i know it looks messy, but thats the way i like it
it supossed that Yuuko-san is kinda goddess of a Nebular Lagoon ^_^'
the plants are like colonies of lil creatures living there (kinda weird planets ne)
flowers are like passive supernovas (dont mind it, its stupid)
those weird eels are like the Nebula guardians (theyre pets in other words)
first time i do a watery wall, the difficult part were those mountains on the leafs
and first and last time (i hope) i do a widescreen wall
scan i used was one of aethereality
outlines: illustrator cs2
color: photoshop cs2
nevermind the # of layers...
Special thanks to Sutendoji for all the cheers even if he didnt mind ^_^'
A magical xxxHolic wallpaper, yes.
But design is strage for me. Is Yuuko in the water??
Everything in the line of xxHolic like many other wallpapers, but i would mirror this for my desktop icons in the left area...
Just downloading it. After all a good job =)
Nice colours used, it makes that pish tail thing more stand out. great imagination to turn Yuuko into an alien (it's quite hilarious to think about it ^_^ )
I've seen this picture millions of times, but never as enchanting as this.
You really did make the water look like the night sky is reflecting off of it. I could imagine a mermaid Yuuko lounging around at that moment.
Yuuko is one of my favorites characters from CLAMP! And you honored her with this wallie! She looks so beautiful and deadly!
And I simply love kimonos! *___*
Sober and elegant, it catches the eye!
Congrats! You did an awesome job again! \o/ +fav
Out of all the pictures of Yuuko, I always thought this one of her, as a mermaid, was the most beautiful! Now, add to that what you have done with it, and voila! A true work of art! As one of your other commenter's said, it is a 'breath of fresh air', and I very much agree! To say the least, you have succeeded in creating the effect you wanted, and because of that, I will be adding your wallpaper as one of my favorites! Please, do not let this be the last one you create, for if you do, this site would lose an amazing artist!
The colors are so dark, yet vibrant.
This wall has so many qualities that xxxHolic has.
I'm really amazed to see such a astounding wallpaper!
It's pure beauty.
This wallpaper is so awesome...
As the first comment said, great concept, I love the colors and all the details.
And Yuuko looks great! She totally fits the image of a Nebular Lagoon goddess.
