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 watched My Neighbor Totoro 2 weeks ago, and after I finished it, I knew that I was going to make a wallpaper from that movie.
I began by searching for a scan. At first i wanted to have the Big Totoro on my wallpaper, with the umbrella, but I changed my mind. I knew I wanted to include an umbrella, so I started playing with my own to see if I could get a few concept ideas from it. I turned the umbrella upside-down and imagined two smaller totoros inside it. I thougth it would look cute, if I can manage to do this wallpaper.
I vectored the umbrella from this Totoro scan, the Middle Totoro and the Little Totoro from this Totoro scan, the little black thinks, I don't know their name in english, I made them myself.
For the seeds I used several stocks I vectored them too (used: this page and this page). For the flower I used also a photo, and vectored it, but I don't remember which page i took if from, and despite all the searching, I coudn't manage to find it again either. >.< When I was finished wirt this all, I added the rain, with help of this tutorial, and searched a good font for the text. I added a little texture too, I found on DA!.
Many many thanks to Yina, Shigemitsubaki, Saku and Dan for their help, critic and support. :)
Quite a nice wall, but I think the background is a little too empty. I'm all for simple walls but I feel like there's just something missing. The vectoring and use of text is awesome though; I really like the colours used in the wall as well. Keep up the good work. I'd also prefer a few more textures (which may cancel out the empty feeling), cos then the wall would fell much more artistic and stylised. Although again, it's still a pretty nice wall.

This is just superbly sweet. I like the way the umbrella was used, so props to the creative idea.
Gah, honestly, ive never watch My Neighbour Totoro, but the sootballs from Spirited away were LOVE! And just seeing them here (or whatever character looks like them) makes me 'squeee'
I'm just becoming illiterate, because Im so antsy about changing my wallpaper to this. Thank you for sharing!
I am always late...you are very tolerate with me i suppose XD
Hm , about the wallpaper..i really enjoy it's cute style, as it really fits my mood and weather (sunny weather here in Greece). I am also very fond of the color combination, its a bit funky mixing blue, pink and greenish tones^^
What i don't like is that it is not widescreen...............T_T cause i now have a widescreen....................................!!
Nevertheless its a lovely piece and it needs to be loved >.<

I have created over a thousand blades.
Unknown to death.
Nor known to life.
Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
