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.
Greetings and Hello once again AnimePaper! Its been a few weeks since I have had time to work up another wall, but I finally managed to snag a day to myself.
Just in time for fall (and yes I know its spring...) is my latest wall, "The Autumn Fairy", featuring the tomboy of the Bottle Fairy cast, Sarara. When I first saw this scan in the galleries, I thought "this is a cute scan, but there is a whole lot of Lolikon to it
Well I decided to take my chances with being labeled a perv (since my room mate already did so when he saw me working on the clean up of the scan X.x) and I worked out a fall motif for our lil fairy here. For those who aren't a fan of Bottle Fairy, the reason for the fall theme is that there are 4 of these little fairies, and each one represents a season. Sarara here is the fall fairy. Simple, isn't it?
Anywhoo the scan was pretty rough and took me quite a while to get cleaned and ready for more rendering. I stuck strongly to fall colors, and used a heavy assortment of leaf brushes. For a bit more of a stylish punch, I slapped a canvas texture on the elements of the image.
Over all this took about 5 hours or so, and about 15 different layers. Here is a link to the original scan:
I have uploaded the 16:9 version for Session Zero, but I have prepared a 4:3 ratio version as well. Once all the bugs are worked out and the widescreen version hits the offical gallery, I will upload the full screen as well.
Anywhoo I am open to suggestions. just type in the handy lil comments box below this blog and we will see what happens!
-Cheers
...not a perv...
......well not TOO big a perv...
EDIT!
Now that the wall is in the galleries, the full screen version should be accessible as well. One note to all you full screen downloaders, I find just clicking on the image itself usually just brings up the wide screen version. If this happens, just click on one of the full screen ratio links below the image and it will give you the full screen wall :D.
Aww, adorable! It's so nice to see another wallpaper from you! I love Sarara. She's my favorite next to Hororo. :3 The leaves are beautifully done; the colors definitely match fall. I like the decorativeness to it...especially around Hororo. Haha, perv? I know someone that has even more of a lolikon than you, so don't worry. I wouldn't call this TOO loli. Very adorable, and it has a lot of room for desktop icons, which I like! I have a lot. [part of the reason why my newest wallpaper has so much "empty space"...]
The only thing I'm not too fond of is the texture. It's probably just me, but that texture...I don't know; I never like using it. XD So personally, I'd probably lessen that, use a different one, or take it away completely.
That's the only thing I would change. I absolutely love it otherwise. :3 Great job!

The colors (orange and black) are good together
