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 promised to make this wall long ago and finally I'm ready! :D It was not easy because I had to force myself to finish his hair, eye, robe and painting the clouds but after all I think it was worth it. I know the texture is a risky touch but I like it because it makes the wall look unusual and I'd dare to say interesting. A late B-day present for Kalico. Enjoy.
So I started when she asked. Half year ago?? ((Shoot I’m getting so old in so little time .__.)) She asked me to keep his colors. His hair colors, and that robe D: Plus it was a manga scan . I gave up almost at first try :'D
Then I let it get dusty for months.
But a promise is a promise. So I opened it 6 weeks ago and closed almost immediately saying „tomorrow”. That went on for 2 more weeks then I started to feel the pressure. Prooomise, deadlines. She told me she would wait however long but I also knew her B-day was coming soon in March (and Yesss I managed to miss that too :’D) so I started getting serious about this vector. I finally crossed the line and started to enjoy it a lot. (expect painting the clouds with my old fashioned mouse ).
But I like it. I’m satisfied even though I’m not saying it can’t be better. Improvement knows no limit. (but I know how it looked like before and it's much better now xD.
Your last wall (Fate Stay Night), was nice but the character's (especially Archer), just didn't seem to look right to me. So I just stayed away from that one because I love your style so much I just hate to say comments against them. Which might be bad of me, because if I was a pure and true fan of Anolibb, I would be honest with my comments and not hide from saying them. I dunno, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm ashamed. :(
However, Now you have a nice Star Ocean 3 wall, and I love this one. I kind of like the textured version more because it looks like a beat up wall scroll, quite neat. Proof that even I can enjoy walls that don't necessarily have to have just cute anime girls on them. It is better though. :D
Love the vector and textures used in this wallpaper, it fits nicely. His hair looks so real, must be a pain to do. I love how you vectored the crow, very pretty!
I like the textureless one 110% over the other one. The texture seems to clash a lot with the vector style and cheapen the look of it overall.
However I love the vector work (duh, your vectors are always the best) and the lighting/colours.
Nice job.
Amazing vector -.-!
I never fail to get amazed by your vector walls. They're full of detail which makes for a very interesting wallpaper. This time I don't like the paint splashes and the See-through? cloak, but otherwise, this is just damned awesome. The Cloud painting is simply amazing too x3!
Very nice!I like his eye-sight!Looks cool!The crow looks great too!I like the BG!It's nice.& this wallpaper has a blur in each side I think which I don't too like XP
But this is my fave!

All i have to say is WOW! vectoring,color palette,texture,concept...everything is just amazing and top quality.
+fav naturally and thanks for sharing, you did a great job and was worth the effort :)
...and a little late perhaps but happy birthday to Kalico :)
Like always you do awesome vector work
the colors are so great, and the texture too~
I like the pictures composition and all the look which make it all look like a real painting.
the golden\paper parts are really amazing but all this dry look not really fits with vectoring to me ^^"
oh well...great job anyway~ +fav
Wow. This is really amazing!
You painted it?
The thing that attracts me the most is the use of the texture. With the texture, the birds looked as if they were burnt XD That's cool~ =D
But the other parts are also great. Totally awesome!~ ^^
Texture or no texture... in the end, I grabbed the one without the texture, but I think both are great. I absolutely love the vector, even though I haven't even heard of the series the character comes from. I love the angle and the detail on the birds and clouds as well. Excellent work! =)
OMG OMG OMG!!!
a Star Ocean wall!!
moreover it's ALBEL!!
doh..your vectoring skills are WAY impresive as always.
Ever since i looked at the thumbnail i'd thought that it's Albel
And when it's Albel, and now's March, i thought that there's something in this wall connected to Kalico. *no offense, Kal.*
i love how you put those clouds. Like Deto15 said, it's pretty insane for you to draw such clouds with a mouse.
but in the end it is very impressive.
An excellently well done vector and overall look
i'm definitely going to fav this.
