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.

AP Featured Wallpaper!
StellarXInochi's wallpaper is a beautiful piece of art combined with excellent design and an outstanding concept. The soft, yet bright colors create a fairytale-like atmosphere, and the water-color-like execution meets a successful typograhy and makes the wallpaper something special.
Well, this is my second ever self drawn-wallpaper at AP! =) The first attempt can be found here
I did this one in a completely different style as you can see lol.
I think I came a long way but first off I was inspired by an artist on the monthly Animage that I decided to adopt this perspective, hence my original character AQUA.
ORIGINAL ART I drew:
Time taken to draw art: 0.5 Hour
Time taken to make the wallpaper: 2 Days
Layers: 91 + [Including Text]
Brushing: ALL default [except for text]
Textures: celestial-star.net & feel.hironeko.net
I wanted something painting-style so I had to painfully adjust brush settings to fit the specific shapes I wanted, or making colors "go out" on purpose etc- anyhow it was both challenging and enjoyable!
The reason I chose lavenders as the flower for this wallpaper, is that we\'re currently in a rainy season - rather sentimental period of the year - and wanted to bring out the \"rainy\" atmosphere. I wanted the character to be surrounded in fields of lavender and portions of the face was excluded intentionally.
EDIT: I've cleaned the lines on the hands, cheeks, nose & mouth [got lazy on the eyes]
Thank you `sakurab and `chibimisao for the tips!
I hope you will enjoy this wallpaper! ^____^

Beautiful wall, congratulations on the highlight! I must say that the what I liked the most was that the text fits and blends perfectly with the rest of the wall, giving harmony to it. And I can't forget to say that I'm impressed with the balance that I feel between elegance and cuteness in this :D! + fav 3
This is wonderful =) I love the colouring and the text as well. It's pretty original :) And to think that it was actually you that drew this. Hats off :)
It is indeed a nice wallpaper , but i dont see why it is featured , it doesnt give me any feeling saying me to save it , i would use my AP on better walls for my computer .
But i dont deny this a very impressive work , grats.
Brilliant combination of original art with colors and a unique perspective. This wallpaper has a soft touch complemented with great colors to really pull off a rainy feel.
Awesome job with the reconstruction! I love the background and the colors work really well together. The only things that bothers me are the scratchy lines on Lacus. Other than that, great job!
