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 finally bring myself to finished this wallpaper after a couple of weeks dwelling in laziness :D *looks at the clock* OMG I'm submitting this on 2 am!?
Anyway, I really like Totoro, it's one of my favorite Studio Ghibli movie. So I took this scan and vector it. Actually, I didn't want to trace the sprouts, but it turned out kind of weird to see the characters jumping and cheering on nothing. So I reluctantly did it. The grasses are brushed. The clouds and moon are the usual brush & smudge. The black thing in the background is suppose to be a hill (which is also brushed) >_<
The overall color scheme didn't turned out quite like what I expected. I was hoping the colors could look more vibrant -___- I tried tweaking the hue and adding color layers, but it still doesn't work. Whatever...
Thanks to Ta-Chan for nudging me to finish this and for staying with me when the going gets rough.

This is a commemorative wall for my graduation. Yaay!! I'm a MD now emoticon
Edited: Fix the blur clouds and the hills and reduce the blurriness :o
I know it's not that much of a difference from the first version... I couldn't help it >_<
And because some people are curious, here's how I made the background...
I really like it! it's very befitting of totoro and stays true to the original art while making the background a little more brilliant. good job i'm glad you finished this.

I love this wallpaper! Its so original but it still gives me space to put my desktop icons SOMEWHERE.
I love-love-love it. The entire artistic swirling aspect of the clouds in the background, the way you actually brightened up Totoro and the cast's colors and just... It's incredible.
People have been envious of this background. And I can't seem to take it off as much as I might want to use other ones...
You did amazing on this. Kudos! :)
