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.
First of all this wall as meant to be confusing and thats the greatest thing about it. I like the way the icons in my desktop contrast with the weirdness of the wall. The samurai champloo writing was not meant to be read either (strange, dont you think!?) beside all that mugen has some penetrating look in his face. Thats not the first version of the wall but its the first one that im uploading it, please make some comments. Hope you like.
Nice I like it ^-^; I love the background with what's his name >.> the guy with the glasses ^-^; I don't really like how the word go over the stock, Jin I think >.<, but other than that it's a good wall, nice choose of contrasting colors and a nice grungy looking background ^-^ Well done.
I actually do really like the whole "messy" look to it! it seems original and exciting... it's interesting where it's like newsprint and yet a cool pic :P
the only writing that is particuarily distracting is on the guy's right leg.. everywhere else the words are pretty constant, but here the one line is VERY bold and seems to be standing alone.. i also think i'd like just the writing rather then the underlying "photo" in the newsprint...
The use of the words is what complements the style you tried to capture in the wall, I believe it looks good the way it is, the only advice I would give to you is to clean the edges of Mugen a little, but that also looks good with the style so it's up to you to decide if you do it or not, I really like this piece and all of it's components, I'll fav it. Keep it up ^^
I'm a fan of the busy walls, my fave part is the newsprint used as the bg and I love the mugen scan (he's the coolest!) I agree that the bottom right japanese text seems out of place other than that it's really great
This wallpaper is serious. The confusion and all the craziness in the background is a big draw. I also like that Mugen goes along the bend created in the background.
Very unique and original! I thought it might seem a bit too hectic at first, but the effects are actully very well done so overall it looks very cool! love the colors and different layers, and how I can discover something new everytime I look at it, in every corner!
Messy, but interesting. As someone else pointed out the line of text going down the left sticks out a bit too much. I haven't watched the series but I get the feeling that the headlines probably have nothing to do with the series... @_@ Apart from that you definitely succeeded in creating an interesting look for this wallpaper ^.^
