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.
Well, I must say this wallpaper is certainly a bold move. The colors are so bright and looks like a burn type. I do like it but boy.. it even makes me nervous.
Oh, and thanks for your comment on my wall!
Alright, now, this is what I see...
1. Need to move the 'logo' up a few smigges because its runs into my 'bar' on my desktop.
2. I like the vintage type look. Looks like a sunset/rise but the reds could come down just a bit. Not a whole lot... because I don't want to see the vibrance lost. But I'm not all so sure about that though because I think of mine... and I just want to say. Do it like you want and say 'na!' to everyone else. So, the color thing is up to you.
3. I see the 'logo' is a big doubled up. It seems a bit to bright to me... maybe take off that other layer. Just to see how it looks.
4. Your doing a great job. I'm sorry I didn't have more to say.

I absolutely agree about the title! Err, logo! It needs to be moved up since it gets cut off, and I think the duplication and blur makes it too blurry. :/ As for the colors and textures...I'm sorry to say, but it makes it look a bit low quality. .___. It's all the reds...and the texture over the senshi makes them blurry, especially Neptune. This scan might've done better with a starry night sky theme. But don't ask me; I'm no expert. ^^; Just listen to angel-chan...sorry if this hurt more than help...
I agree with the above members about the title too. Personally, I don't quite like the title of the anime as text in the wallpaper, but it's just my own preference ^.^ If you are keeping it, maybe you should resize it and make it smaller as not to take away the focus from the characters.
On Neptune's hair, the black outline is too obvious, can you remove it a little so that she blends in well with the background? The top left corner of the wallpaper is empty too - some low-opacity brushes might do the trick ;)
Good luck~ (sorry I can't think of a good title either)
Okay ... Djee it's been SO LONG sins I commented on a wall. It's gonna be hard to get back to it. So sorry if I'm not accurate as usual... It's been a while.
Okay let's shoot :p
1) the textures you used are really nice but you've got some lines on the right upper corner that don't really look great. Those are dark lines from one of the texture layers I guess but it's just that as they are pretty strong they vanish into the hair of the characters on the left wich is not really suitting the effect you want to give I think.
Same thing for the white lines in the middle of the left side. They aren't suitting the wall very well on that side neither.
2) The text is a little too bright for my taste and for a propre lisibility. The double-repeated composition makes it a little stange looking and as the top part is really bright (it's sort of mixing on some place with the moon in the background and that looks a little messy for me... :-s) and the background version is pretty dark, in the middle it gives a nice 3D look but on the sides it's more messy. I don't really know which effect you were attending... I guess if you wanted to have a sort of 3D look you gonna have to adapt the sides. If not well... You probably did fine as usual! ;)
3) The filter you used are a little too heavy on the green haired girl. She's a little more far away than the others and then she looks lower quality but I guess she's not. So I would lower a little the opacity of the filters on her face.
4) As you're totally in the vintage style, why not add a light vintage filter also on your sign? :D It's a little too plain for the rest of the wall ^_^
5) Also note that as long as you are in a pretty orange-red color theme, the green haired girl in the center is really a point of focus as she's the only one not matching that theme. So be careful to make her good looking. As she probably will be the first focus.
...
Hope this helps you a little dear. And as usual if I'm being harsh, just hit me in the face!
I see you got a lot of replies and yet you haven't found a groove to start working in. You know as well as anyone that this wallpaper and any other is up to you. All we can do is just tell you what we see. Its up to you how take it and apply it. If you take at all.*^^*heh
I know I commented already but I thought I'd comment again since I'm in the mood to look as deep as possible.
So, what I see is the faces rather 'wash out' with the background. So, bring the 'brightness' down a few notches should bring the faces back as well as take some 'hardness' out of the color because putting it on your desktop for most is just a little to 'bold'.
Then you have the 'logo'. The 'double' look makes it a little 'messy'. I don't mean to sound like I'm nagging. I'm really not. Just what I see and something you can take a look at. If you agree or not. That's fine. Its not my wall. So, 'burning' 1 logo or doing a 'blur' of one behind the 'solid' one could make a nice affect. Yet, I'm not sure how much its kinda your thing. You'll know when its right.
When you even out those few little things. All with the wall will be well and ready for submission.

Or not...
:D
Anyways, to make things short;
Cons:
- background is too fiery and and a little grungey for the scan.
- the text logo is too big
Pro:
- it's a Sailormoon wall
- it has Saturn and Neptune in it. WOOT!
You don't have to necessarily follow what I said though. Just do what you think is right. Cheers.
Meia is mai waifu.
