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 know there is a lot of bleach related wallpapers already...well, here is another one:p. this is my second submission and it's based on this scan, as you can see i did few modification on his arm, cloth and mask, i painted it mostly and little vector here and there. Everything was done in Photoshop cs2(struggled for few days still ends up with such plain background ). anyway C & C are appreciated.

Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions, now i can't help myself to make changes again...darn it! i will remember next time go to Session Zero before posting.
I've been waiting so long for a Ichigo bankai wall that it was painful up until you brought this gem here. It's widescreen, it's large, and it looks freakin' sweet. A formula for win.

I like the texture and look of the whole thing. The only thing that gets me a bit is the mask and his face, but everything else looks really nice to me
You surely put some work into it. You could try some noise/ graininess for the dust, to add more substance to it [look at Gaara [Naruto] wallpapers for some examples]. Very nice touch with the rays of light in the background that follow the same diagonal movement as the character's arm. The sky could also be saturated a little and given more volume. A nice trick would be to curve the line of the sky [the clouds], because this would give the image a more dynamic look. Right now the clouds are just plain horizontal. Also, giving the clouds 'closer' to the character more contrast, a bit of texture and making them a bit bigger and more saturated would improve the overall aspect.
Something to consider about Ichigo's skin is that when the light color of the skin meets the shadowed one, that particular area is more saturated in color. This will give the skin a more natural look. Also, the light part of the skin is of a warmer tone [red-orange-yellow], while the shadowed skin is of a colder tone [slightly more purplish/bluish].
Anyway, it's a very nice piece of work, so keep them coming!
Very very well done. Love the work on the vector as well as the coloring. Though it would be nice if there was more emphasis on the "summoning" of the bankai, like a major effect on the surroundings after the summon.
Your vector is reli fantastic,I like what your modification ,the mask looks really charming! the texure on the bg looks good ,too,but why not add some text?The bg looks a bit empty,I guess maybe some text will make the wall even better.
Anyway ,a great wal,+fav,I love Ichigo.

I really think that what you've done with original scan deserve a big praise, it's flawless and looks really nice. Dust and sky are done very well too, the only problem is that this bg is very simple and by looking at how well it's done, I got impression that you just wasn't aiming high with this wall...If you would decided to make more complex bg it would be much better.
But it still shows enough skills to deserve a fav.
Nice vector of Ichigo, love the detail of the rays of light peeking from the clouds, I think you managed to combine a sharp vector with a softly painted background, great work, gets my fave~
Holy... Now this is a wall! xD I love how you changed his arm and added his hollow mask that was a nice mix. Although I'm still iffy on the mask not sure if having shown half the mask or the whole mask would look better, I would also love to see how the wall would look like if you didn't change the arm and kept it to the original scan (Might have to play around with that if you have the time) xD Asking to much but you don't have to do them :D. Over all very plain and simple but straight to the point. +Fav

Nicely done!The character looks really powerful and the background is nice as well.It somehow makes you feel nervous and prepared for the probably strike that is going to occur.Good job!

i'd rather have the better resolution.
