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.
Another desktop, without any character on it.
After watching the third season of ARIA, I was inspired by its wonderful ending animation. So I want the feeling of neo-venezia on my desktop. And this is an attempt. Blue sky and windmill.
All the image was CGI by Maya 8.5, with days of adjusting parameters of cloud fluid. Just because, it is hard to find a good photo of sky in this perspective. The windmills are also modeled in Maya.
I've tried a desktop without character, but that is because its atomsphere was good enough. Still not sure if this desktop will work.
clean sky and peaceful atomosphere in the thumbnail list caught my eyes
I was guessing if it`s a ARIA wall then.I am right.
a fav from me and it will certain be set as my wallpaper.
Good job!
Lovely. I love the simplicity and how everything looks so clean cut.
It makes me want to close my eyes, feel the wind, and take a deep breath. :3 The perspective is great, by the way. And the clear blue sky is my favourite!
The windmills are great, the fineness. In comparison though, the sky and clouds should be more sharp, I think it would look a lot better if both were of simliar resolution. Just a little suggestion. :)
Thanks for sharing. ^^
Oh, I like this wallpaper.
ARIA makes me feel relaxed, so does this wallpaper.
Although there is no character appearing in this picture, it presents the peaceful feeling of ARIA.
It is creative and beatiful.
Thanks for sharing your work. Good job.
Lovely. I really like the concept
It makes me feel at peace and calm. The clouds will look better if it's sharper and less realistic. But that's just my personal preference. I also like the text :D
This is a beautiful wallpaper with a great concept. I actually like the fact that although it doesn't have a character, people will know that it's definitely ARIA just by looking at the windmills. The clouds could be a bit sharper but that's just me. Excellent job with the render as well. Gotta love those windmills! Good job!
The render could've made use of more antialiasing, as the jaggies are visible when pixel-peeping (it's fine when downsized to 1280x1024), but otherwise one of the more original ARIA walls out there - and my new desktop > :3
Very nice wallpaper, it resembles the sky realy well! Makes me feel like I'm staring towards the sky during summer, with sunwarmth on my skin. Instant fav!
Amazing amazing wallpaper...
i love wallpapers with nothing but the sky in it, this is it.
i mean, if youre in your room this whole time and have no time to look outside, you can always look at your screen :) you know?

And, by the way, ARIA is GOOD!

Just gotta pick on the grammar, though... it should either read "inspiration from" or "inspired by", not "inspired from".
