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 used Photoshop CS2, vectored out the images and mirror fragments. I wanted it to have a rough and tough feel so I actually left the main scans unvectored (yes, odd choice). Then I basically went through loads of manga to extract onto the background; some of the scans were pretty low quality so I had to make use of some levels, filters, and other effects/tools to clean them up.
It's not especially advanced, but I hope you like the concept :)
Old good grunge. I haven't seen a nice grunge wallpaper for some time, fortunately I have youXD
The background is fantastic. It looks so used and realistic, like an old wall or something. Also the text fits very well.
The darkness of Ichigo just makes it more mystical. Yeah, I definitely like this wall.
This is amazing! The scenes from the manga behind each character are perfect, I especially like how they're arranged by color. I can't wait to see more of your wallpapers!
Very very nice idea !
I like it a lot!the colors a beautifully choiced (uh, is that word even exist ?)
even if preferred to see Ikkaku Madarame's background in green :)
