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.
Full view please... Half of the time making this wall is spent on adding fine 2 pixel lines so please full view it.
This wall is a nice break from my usual style. I am tired of paint brush and making those fill-the-whole-screen-till-you-drop kind of wall. So here's something simple.
The scan was taken from Aethereality.net.
It's a pretty simple scan and my mind is out of ideas so do forgive me if the wall is lacking details :_(
The part I enjoy making the most is the clouds ^_^ and no matter what people say about that background circle color, it stays light blue :p
Edited:
I fix the text and some lines on Larva. I was never good at making text, so might just keep it simple.
Another really artisitic wallpaper from you.As expected.The main wallpaper being in a circular shape looks great and the character are awesome!!..I love the smoke and the red/blue/black colour in the wallpaper..Its a great wallpaper so its a great fave+!..Keep up your good work gabychan ^^

The vector is so cool! I love the way you did it with the colours. :)
It's a jillion times better than the scan - you have such creativity!
Great design - your walls just get better and better. :D
Light blue for the circle, awesomeness :] Yes, throw those fill-the-whole-screen-till-you-drop wallpapers! xD We always need more and more simple wallpapers cus its awesome xD
Anyway, I likey this one cus the outlines' colours are so awesome and those stroked-transparent-lines you put on their silhouette x] itu divector linenya satu2 ato pake stroke? :3 just wanna know :3
First let me congratulate you on taking a rather bland scan and turning it into something spectacular. I also agree with you on the clouds, it's very well done. I don't fine anything wrong with the colours you used, the white, cream and blue of the clouds complement the colour of the bg and the colours you used on the scan play off the blue of the circle. I think all in all it's very pleasing.
This is a pretty sick wallpaper! The lines that makes up their clothes are so cool. Very impressive. My only complaint is the text...Makes the center look kinda messy, and i don't like the choice in font.
Beautiful wallpaper.
I have a couple things I would like ot see different, but overall it\'s really nice.
First, I wish the text wasn\'t invaded by your signature. I prefeer them at the bottom so my doc hides em. I feel that completely takes away from the feel of the wall.
My biggest complaint wuld be the colors. I wish the wall was pretty much inverted. the background being black, and them being tan, or white or something. i think it would fit the anime and characters better. Even if you don\'t feel like changing the whole wall, I would personally love a version like that (even if you only make it for me).
Those 2 things are actually keeping e from faving the wall.
Beautiful line work though, and the design is pretty solid.
EDIT:
YAY! You fixed the things I said and actually listened to a critique! you deserve many cookies for that. Most people get all upset and bitch and moan about criticism, so kudos to you. Now, I shall add this to my favs!
Really...
That's that subtle, creative way of walling of yours that captivates me so much...
Essence! Content... That's the point. You win at those. And that's great!
Then, many few would, I guess, see the potential of that image, as a material for a pretty wallpaper.
Well! Graphically very effective and eye-cathing. I appreciate the minimalism, the composition. Your clouds are awesome, very fancy and with a 'magical' feeling.
However, I feel bottered by three points (oh, the 2nd one is more like a question of personal taste):
1) the black of the bodies is too violent (maybe with a darker grey or brown the result would be "soffter"); 2) the color combination used in the characters (pink, violet, black are too acidic together, specially in a so smooth wallpaper, regarding at the composition itself and colorscheme of the major background); 3) finally, I loved the text, but I really would place the signature in another site.
Don't think I didn't enjoy your new creation, because I liked it very much.
;3
Oh, this is so nice! i rly like the colors in this, which basically is what reeled me into here. lol
and i love the liny look. What you did with the scan is great. :D
only thing i can say is that i think the guys face looks a little weird xD yea, i know thats how it looks in the scan, but i think you could have added maybe a line dividing his head and his neck at the back, cuz it looks weird how it continues on like that. doesnt look weird for the girl because she has her hair hanging down and it acts as a sort of divider between the two areas.
ah, and i agree that the sig in the middle of the wall kinda throws everything off xD maybe if you had incorporated the sig more into the wall, like have it flow with the clouds in a lighter color.
anywho, nice job, i rly like their hair :]

Great job on the coloring, it's a very unique style! The clouds in the back were an excellent touch that keeps the wall from having too much whitespace, yet keeps the style simple. Great job!
Ooh, ooh *excited* i see some awesome design work. >x3
i love the layout of things and the flow of it. so yes, i love those smooth lines! :'D the lines + circles give this piece a tasteful level of detail, which is really wonderful to see in walls that do not rely on a heap of elements to interest the viewer. *thumbs up* your play with color here is also quite pretty. i especially like the red/magenta gradient for the two characters. i find it just a bit odd that such a large of part of them is solid black while no other color in the wall approaches that level of intense "darkness". do i make sense? probably not. :x
the other little complaint is that i'm not too fond of the way the black text/sig overlaps with the title. it's a matter of what calls for attention and how much attention. ah, hard to explain... one of the reasons probably is the use of black though. but no matter. your work is great and i love the cloud things. :3
+fav for the ingenious design work that went into this. =]
I like your new style wall^^
Great job with vectoring (we can see you worked hard on that ^^), and the clouds are very very pretty ^^
great job + fave ^^

I love the clothes you drew, and nice color you chose there.
And also the 2 pixels lines...wow, they look great.
the background looks good too.
Not really sure about the hair though. Maybe the color, but I don't really like it :(
However, this wallpaper still looks nice and fits really well for desktop :3
