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.
Been away from AP for about 2 months. o_o Thanks to those who still posted on my page while i was away. I'll try and reply to them as soon as i can.I just have so many things to do. @__@ Lol i even have a new nickname thanks to Saku. (It's miso soup btw) xD It feels good to be back and even with a new wall. ;D Im actually a big fan of Final Fantasy, but it seems that i have'nt even made a single wall out of it. So here it is, a wall from the FF13 game. < 3 Featuring this awesomely drool-worthy bishie. xDD And homigosh! It's also partially painted too! <--still learning how to paint properly. =/ I think its quite obvious which part i painted. (hint..hint...the background) ^_^; Oh and another thing, i usually do 1680x1050 resolutions for my walls, but this one ended up being only 1440x900 because i accidently saved my psd file in this rez. T_T
Also a happy Very belated birthday to my friend Vonne. This wall's for you! ;D I finished it earlier but could'nt post it till now. Sorry for the delay. ^^; Well enjoy the eye-candy. Psst... we should hang out sometime later maybe with some of our other classmates for a little reunion or something. ;D
Walling Process:
I took the basic idea from this screenshot which i took myself from the game trailer, and mixed it in together with this scan. As you can see, the screenshot is super blurry. @__@ So i painted most of it. The scene is'nt exactly the same as the one in the screenshot. Well i don't think there's a need for it to be the same, so i tried something simpler with only a part of the background shown. The scan on the other hand, had only a small part of the chair/throne shown, so i decided to extend it a little (you'll know what i mean if you compare the original scan with the wall i made). Besides that, i also used the smudge tool on a low opacity and smudged all over the scan to give it a smoother look. ;D Some lighting & shading was added on next, and some specs of dust/shiny dots falling down from above was added. Lastly i did the text. Although i would usually avoid text with outer glows, i think it kinda looked ok in this one. ^^ There's also other versions of the wall with different text and the textless version.
This wall can also be found at Minitokyo
Quite nice, I always liked these "King sitting on his lonely throne" walls. it gives such a majestic feeling to my desktop.
would fave it, and this is a clear favorite for a long time, too bad I don't like the game itself though.
