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.
This wallpaper turned out so different from what I had in mind when I started. First of all I wanted to use a completely different scan, but I couldn't get the lineart for that one right because it was too sketchy so I picked this one instead. I also wanted to make a simple scenic background featuring a Tokonoma and Ikebana but I couldn't pull that of either so I thought "Screw it all" and went for a simple wall screen as background, the flowers and butterfly were vectored from this scan.
Somehow I have the feeling this is a pretty failure, guess I can still tell you what my interpretation of the scan is though.

With all the floating hair and clothing it looks a little supernatural on the surface, to me it's an portrayal of Rin's situation. Her aim is to kill Anotsu and avenge her family, but somehow I have the feeling she isn't really getting closer to achieving this (more the reverse in fact), she's in a way just sitting and not moving towards her aim. Still it's not like nothing is changing because Rin herself and her situation are changing throughout the series, there's always movement/change like in her hair and clothing in that scan. Even if there's no visible progress there's still a change.
Those are my thoughts and musing about it now it's somehow sad that I couldn't think of a better background and it's unbelievable how I suck at "attaching" people to the floor they're supposed to stand/sit on.
On a more positive note, they're making an anime for this awesome series this summer. I hope there'll be fansubs for this. >.<

Very beautiful,I love all of the earthy tones.The screens in the background look excellent,the flowers are very pretty.Also I do think it looks like she's sitting on the floor lol.Great job,its an amazing wall.^^ +fav
Wow! I was stunning when I saw your wall. Is so well done and with a great conception!
You did a great work with that scan and the background is perfect. Please don't tell this is a failure because this wall as everything to be in the SSS list.
I agree with your interpretation but when I see your wallpaper it seams like something supernatural is appearing in front of her and her face expression tell me that she knew that would happen.
That's really beautiful, I really like your choice of colors - they fit the mood of the picture very well and the ways you used the textures makes it look even better. *thumbsup* I'll add this to my favs ^^
Pfft, failure. Have you taken a look at the other walls in the recent/featured galleries? This is exceptional in comparison and much the opposite of a failure in my opinion ~
Hm, as expected, I think my taking a strong liking to your latest three walls makes me an official fan, Eruanne : < This piece is beautiful, and I have to say I am rather fond of the style that you've implemented in your latest wallpapers - that is, the modest colours and the painted picture-esque/sepian atmospheric feel.
Although the wall didn't turn out exactly as you had originally planned, I feel that the piece still greatly reflects your initial purpose and intent. Your conception of the idea for this wall is stunning as well, by the way ~ going through what you had written about what you were trying to convey, I can definitely grasp that vibe and that aura of the concept; the character looks as if she is ruminating on all that you had mentioned and moving in spite of her stillness. I agree with you, too, that the movement accentuated in her hair and clothes being blown about by the imaginary and supernatural wind in the picture certainly helps to emphasize that. Honestly, I think you did a wonderful job making the character "stick" as you put it ~ I wouldn't have questioned or looked into it any more than a glance if you hadn't mentioned it, and even now that I have take a closer look, I still can't find any irregularities. so don't be so harsh on yourself ~ The lightness of the shadow beneath her adds to her sense of airiness and ephemeral lightness.
I like the wall screen in the background and the red moon was a fantastic choice for the title of the wall, if I do say so myself ~ The lilies are gorgeous, and good job working with the other scan to vector out the butterflies and the flowers. I really like this piece, as I've said ~ and this is magnificent work, so don't say you suck or that this is a failure : P because it's not : )
Keep it up, and you'll be sure to hear from me again > )
This is absolutely marvelous
i love hiroaki's artwork and blade of the immortal is one of my fave manga
you vectored it brilliantly, everything looks perfect.
beautiful composition and i totally love the colours and texture you used
I think you did a very nice job. The muted colors fit the tone well, and the touches that you added, like the subtle pattern on the red fabric, are nice. I like the faint shadowing that you did throughout. Fav from me.
I really like the movement in this image; the hair and her kimono.
The colours you chose are great, too. I like the clean lines and the design on the walls as well.
Nice job!!
God the textures on this wall are spectacular, it looks just like a painting I just think her hair looks kind of weird, but everything else is perfect from the flowers to the deep passionate colors of her kimono. Great work A-
Nice vector there. I has some nice atomspehere arround it, maybe due the lower color contrast which suits the old japanese style walls. You made both resolutions (4:3 and ws). Nice :p
+Fav
The vectoring looks great though I think it looks kinda blurry @_@
or my eyes are broken.. what happened to my eeeeeyes? Dx
anyway, awesome wallpaper. 3
