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 think the image is a bit too dark in general (hence why it might look gloomy). the background looks too "busy" in the sense too many lines are present and its hard to focus on a specific theme. I see you have hexagonal patterns and then Lafiel's ship insignia, but there are lines/patterns beneath the bee insignia which obfuscate the view.
Beautifully done wallpaper...though its a tad small, plz remember that so of us love lafieal..so make em bigger ^_^!..the colors you used on this one is really good too...i really like how you did the hair color...great job ^ ^ !
Just finished watching the anime and thouroughly enjoyed it. I think the background, although manic, works nicely and does suit the character and series.
That looks really awsome I love the effect.
keep up the good work
I'm not going to complain on bit about this wall. Walls and pictures of the fantastic series are few and far between, and besides I really like this wall. It's great that a person with talent is giving this often forgotten series a go. Thanks for Sharing your wall, i've watched Crest of the Stars and it has got some quite gloomy themes, very fitting.
Waii, I just love Lafiel ^^" Is that her assault ship in the background? :D Anyways I like the colors, and they perfectly suit the series and this shot. Great work, this one's definiately going into my favs ^^"
I think the only thing that looks a bit out of place would be the whitish object to the left of Lafiel, looking closely I can tell itâ??s likely the barrel of a weapon on the ship, but itâ??s hard to tell what it is at a glace, so it kind of competes with Lafiel as a place that draws the eye. On a whole though, I really do like this wallpaper quite a lot. The coloring on the characterâ??s image, especially the hair, looks very vibrant and alive, and itâ??s got just the right amount of detail that it looks, well, truly amazing really. I think youâ??ve got a real gift for detail work. Everything looks exactly right. The background effects, and how you laid them out, are also remarkably well put together I think. It looks very much like the kind of artwork and layout that came with the DVDs. I think it captures the mood and essence of the show perfectly. The show itself might well be mistaken for gloomy itself really, because of all the blues, blacks, and other cooler colors that dominate itâ??s color palate. But really, using that type of color scheme is very much a necessity with the venues where the story takes place (space mostly). Just like it the show however, where they interspace some more warmer elements (the paintings along the hall of the Gosroth for instance, a prime example of which would be the field of sunflowers that was mentioned by Jinto) that really make the show come together, I think the red and magenta hues you put in balance out the color scheme and make it really come to life.
Oh wowie, I like this wallpaper :]
Gloomy isn't bad, heehee ^^ I think it adds more to the wallie. The effects that you've used are excellent. I also love the composition and technique. Love your wallpaper lots :D
Look great but I have a 1600x1200 LCD and stretching it really makes it look bad. an upgrade in the resolution of your wallpapers would be nice, to 1600x1200 would be good.
