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.

Hallo... me is back walling X3
yeah long time without submiting a thing cause life kept me busy...
Some weeks ago i came back from work and felt like playing around with photoshop so i looked around on my scan's folder and remmembered this cute scan of monobery...
See SCAN Scan was found at http://www.digik.net
I first discovered the artist some time ago when i saw one of POM's wallies and i fell in love with the style... (though i choose a more girly image than POM xD)

The making process


I started with the idea of making a simple abstract bg.. and after messing around things started looking like clouds lol... so.. i guess i can't scape from doing scenic walls lol..
The scene is not based on anything in particular, it's like a kind of fairy scene...
in fact it's pretty senceless with the weird proportions that i made.. but i'm a crazy weird girl so.. it matches xD
My idea was to make her look outstanding and shinny.. so i guess i got what i wanted..

I painted everything in soft colors, i wanted to give the wall a warm look with pastel soft colors.. so i made the hills using many different tones...

Then i made that kind of road she is walking on... which started looking as if it had water inside so i turned it into a sort of little lake road..
Then i painted some trees.. and fight a lot with the text... i usually don't like adding text but in this case, i thought it could fit nicely..
The hole background was painted with my mouse, i also improved the quality of the scan which was a bit grainy.. and i added more of those things comming out from her basket

Pretty gorgeous work, and you managed to blend well that painted scan with an equally painted background. The only gripe that I have is that the girl looks like a giant because the road she's walking on is quite tiny, and the background on the two sides somehow has a weird depth, which causes her to have weird proportions. But that's it, colourwise it's lovely. Good job. :)

Beautiul painting (I wish I had a quarter of your painting skill XD), the soft pastel colours are so calming and pretty, this is really lovely work. It'll be top-rated in no time ;)

Lovely.
Odd adjective for me to use...but it fits XD. I agree the text works well.

I actually saw this scan before and was wondering how to wall it myself...but I never came up with anything. Glad to see you did!

New Clarings wall is always a great event for me. And as usual, I love this one !

Pastel color and blur effect are really good. The scan suits very well with the painting in background.

Very nice work

The "pastel" "light" paintning is cute worked, like your other walls, the drawing style is very good same as the character, don't work too, care yourself, thanks for sharing.

I said add detail and you added detail and it looks great. See! I'm always right :P.

Na, just kidding. Really like the changes and it's a nice wallpaper with a solid composition and good use of movement and colour. Everything fits together really nicely! +fav!

That is absolutely gorgeous! I'm definitely adding this to my favorites. The painting style is just amazing, too. I was drawn to this since I'm such a big fan of pastel colors- which are just stunning in your wall. :] Calming, serene walls are always lovely to find.
