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.
b4 i talk bout this walli,ive to thank my sis "Barcalover" for her help,and for extracted the scan...Thanks alot Barca!
heres the original scan:-
well...back to the walli's work...everything's made by the photoshop,No stockphotos or anythin else!
actually the tones of the sky is already made by Barca!i asked her to make it as a dawn scene cuz i tried make it in the night but it doesnt work well u_u so that i changed the whole idea! and bout the sea i added it and put double layers of it to give a style you know,and i also made that shiny in the middle cuz i imagine how the sun will appear and its light will b in the middle ^^"
then i added the clouds and the birds .. added the shiny around the scan too..and typed the font ...after that i changed the colors one more time :)
I suppose this is an ok wall, everything is placed nicely and the water has a some what soothing glow but I mean theres really not anything unique about it, it's just another wallpaper, I mean wheres the WOW factor? Were is the sensation that rocks the views socks off and makes them fall in love with the wallpaper? This could be so much better with some more detail and colors it's just ok at this point it needs more to be great maybe you could put more time into it next time hopefully you'll improve over time if you just try a bit harder.
The panorama looks great!^^ i love the sun`s shine ove the whole wallpaper.
The sea its very real, nice style!
i think the clouds looks a bit repetitive, but thats fine^^.
Anyway, Good work!
I really think you could have done more on this wall, especially considering barca practically did like half of it if not more.. - or you sould have submitted as a collab. X_X I don't think that scan matches the water, as it's too realistic looking when I glance at it. It just doesn't match.
I can also tell you used the exact same cloud brush several different times up in the sky and it doesn't look well being repetitive ilke that, and having them so close together and crowded up in the sky.
One more thing... I see you that same exact bird brush is used a lot... surely there's different ones that can be used, or you could just paint some yourself. x_X
I hope what I said didn't sound too harsh. I hope you'll take my advice, I'm just trying to help you improve. =]
The vector feels mebbe just a little unsharp compared to the rest of the wallie, but meh doesn't really bother me. the sky and water though, and the colors really fit the theme. I didn't notice any problems with the clouds unless I look really closely - or mebbe I'm just tired.
Very nice, but as mentioned before, there seems to be a lot of repeated brushes in the wallpaper ^^; and that obviously is not liked at all.
Another thing I noticed is that the scan does not blends with the background, especially the realistic looking water. I think you should have vectored the scan like you have done with most of your other wallies :]
Great concept though, but this can be a lot better than what it is right now.
Keep up the good work Emma :] +fav

The wall has an overall nice feeling to it. It feels serene, peaceful and very relaxing. What I would do though, is try and blend the anime character with the background so that it doesn't seem out of place. You could try blurring the outer edges of the scan and adding textures to the wall for blending. I'd also personally take off the outer glow effect around the scan. It feels somewhat out of place and doesn't really fit in. Anyway, I hope you found this comment helpful in some way, and keep up the work. I'd love to see more updates on this wall. Again, the overall felling is very nice =)!
Seeing the scan caught my attention.
i was also planning to make a wallpaper
out of that scan but i'm not start making
it yet.. anyway your background is nice though
i think you can add more stuffs in your background
since the left part is a bit empty, maybe oyu can try adding
stuffs like boats since the main background is a sea.
The clouds also need some work, try making a fluffy clouds
or make the clouds a little brighter. The placement of
the birds are ok but i guess the sparkles/stars are a bit
many, try reducing them and focus only below the clouds.
Lastly is the scan..maybe you can try making the scan a
little bit sharper since you can see the grains and noise
of the scan. Overall nice font text and nice try! ^^,
