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 is a resubmitting of this wallpaper, I hope you like it.
I used a scan by Akira-Kiriyama-Sabnak downloaded here in the Scans section.
I had to deal with the scan's blurriness. After separating Matsumoto from the background, I vectored her, and placed it on a different layer above the original one, then lowered the opacity. That helped sharpening and hardening the edges.
After several adjustments including levels, curves and saturation I had the scan where I want it to be.
The next step was to create a background that matches the color theme and the wallpaper "mood". I picked dark tones because Rangiku can stand out smoothly due to the lack of vivid colors.
A few flowers and leafs helped me balance the wallpaper and give it a more stylish approach. I also included the Bleach logo and painted blue.
I used Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator in this work. Many layers and blending modes were used too. Please comment!
While I always say Im getting tired of bleach wallpapers I really mean Im sick of all the ichigo wallpapers. However, when the beautiful and delicious matsumoto is involved then Im a happy camper. Really great stuff you've got here. I really love it, the colors are very nice and easy on the eyes which makes it perfect for use as a desktop. My only complaint is for whatever reason when I click on the 1600x1200 res Im only getting the 1024x768 res. I doubt this has anything to do with you as its most likely the site just bugging. Anyways thanks for sharing such a beautiful wallpaper with us.
You are the best! I love you! I have been looking for a good Matsumoto wall for like... FOREVER! So this is just the best and you are the best. You can make another Matsumoto wall if you want.<hint hint> +fav
This is a really nice Bleach wallpaper! it's nice to see Rangiku in one!! I really like the more muted tones in it, as opposed to some others that are super bright. very nice one!!
Hi everyone, thanks for your comments - I appreciate them -
I uploaded 1600 x 1200 and 1024 x 768 resolutions but it seems that it's a site bug. I'll try uploading a 1600x1200 and widescreen this time.
Thanks again for your support.
Good work!) Matsumoto is sexy as always Anyways, great work on colours. Can't wait to download the higher resolution version (widescreen would be just perfect for me).
