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 have wanted to make a VK wallpaper for a long time, but I couldn't find any image to my liking (Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of nice scans out there). Still, I got this screen shot when watching the anime, and thankfully there are outlines in the hair ^.^ Here's the screen shot:
If you look at it, you will notice that I changed the color of the hair and the skin to follow the colors from the manga. Personally, I think the manga art is way better than the anime. Still, the anime is worth watching.
Everything in the wallpaper is vectored except for the moon (edited from a scan) and the thorns (brushes from lunaregina.com)
I changed the background from abstract to scenic, and it looks better (at least, I hope so), and I added more details to the vector to make it look less flat.
P.S: Whose hand is that? I hope it's Zero's (been in an anti-Kaname mood lately...sorry, Kaname fangirls xP) Still, I believe that it's Kaname's hand o_O
Wow!
this is a big change compared with the one i saw on SZ.
The vampiric background is great, the red moon with the bats is a nice detail with the red roses.
Good work!

YAYS it's finally done~ :D
I love how you changed the sakura to roses, that's nice.
The background is much better now, and it looks so magical and mysterious. x3
I'm glad you were able to add more depth to the main vector.
(The moon kinda looks outta place, though... everything else is vectored. >.>)
Good work as usual!
Agreed. Already in the SZ looked good, and now is it even better. You got rid of the "not matching parts" and instead of the we have a very cool background.
Yeaz for vampires! :3 And right, scenic is always better as abstract.

Actually I don't ask for a version in my resolution, but at this masterpiece I just have to. >.<
So, could you please make a version in 1280x1024? ^^''
Ooohhhh nice. Yeah, the color change was a good idea. I agree, the artwork is much better in the manga but the anime is still good. I hope that is Zero's hand too! haha Anyways, nice job.
I was vectoring that exact scene myself a day ago, I guess it's no mystery why you chose it. Uhm yes about the wallpaper, I give you full score for the beautiful vector. However (how do I say this without making more enemies around here?) I don't 'approve' of the background, but meh that's just me - everyone has their preferences and needs. It's not at all badly done though at all. The setting reminds me of Karin somehow, but then I guess that's elements you can find in any vampire anime/manga/film or whatever. Keep doing what you do Yukina~
I think this looks much better than before, but I think the moon can be it's normal bright white instead of that destracting red. It takes your focal point away in my opinon. I also think you can take the red glow off of your bats as well, because they don't need it against the blue sky.
I hope I'm helping, and not just ticking you off with my ramblings. >xD Good luck~
It came out really nice. I love it. I agree with you, I like Zero way better for some reason. It's not to say I hate Kaname, which I don't, he is pretty cool, but zero is way better.
Anyway, it came out nicely done, keep it up!
