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.

Find a scan you really lke, and work around it, rather than working the scan into something.

~nightfire117 55 minutes ago
I need a scan; I didn't find one yet. >_<

Another wall contest?
How about something smaller...
like "Design your own anime uniform contest" (lol) or something.
If we just have walling contest after walling contest,
ppl will be very tired from all that work.
So maybe having something a non-walling contest in between would be a good idea?

I disagree. The people who walled for the contest was only you and me XD
Also looking the members of our group, the half them is a very good waller, so dunno whats the matter here.
And I'm not very good with fanart and OAA. I rather go for a wall, even when means more work.

My suggestion: how about a Stalker School Contest?
Cause knowing our lazy stalkers, it will be autumn, when they do something :P
It's a easy theme, there are a lot of scan with school uniforms or class/school themes.

If im not mistaken, the scenic group already did a walling contest like this recently. It would be rather repetitive if we did it too. =/

Lol yeah true! xD So i guess we can have another walling contest if everyone agrees. Feel free to suggest some themes for it. ^^

Designing a uniform would seem rather difficult for most people, and i don't think that many people would be able to join. So i suppose another walling contest would be appropriate. Or we could also do something simple like what we did with the stalker egg hunt contest. Like maybe instead of searching for eggs, we all look for each of the participating members icons/badges...these badges would first be created/designed by each member. Then i would hide them in certain places like as we did with the eggs in the previous egg search contest. It might be an old idea, but i think it would be fun. ^^

Hell right. Scenic just had such contest. But the summer is also not the right idea, due that FMN and Scenic has a currently running join project "Summer Job" with this kind of theme.
And yeah, walls. But if some vector is accepted, that also good for me.

I have currently not better idea as the School. Is quite a easy theme and will be actual in autumn, so thats why I thinked it could be okay.
Any suggestions are welcomed, I try to power up my brain cells too :P

Uniform thing was just an example. don't think i want to try that either. :p
I do like akiranyo's school theme
But since its summer, half of me wants to still do a summer related contest.
Put them together and what do you get? Summer School! (jk jk)
I won't be able to participate in any contest if its like going to happen in July though.
I'm supposed to be working on a manga for my friend...

So do you all still insist on a wallpaper contest?
I just dunno if anyone would be able to join though. Looking back at the previous contest, the amount of entries were rather sad. The contest was even on for a whole 2 month but only 2 people managed to make a new wall for it. =/

Well I'm not into a wall contest for sure.
Why not take a little inspiration from Worth1000?
We could do a photoshopping contest like put your fav. anime character in a real-life situation, or something like that.

I say we have to wall a series with few walls. as in fewer than 15 or twenty. and make that the only stipulation.

@GA: Sounds interesting. Can you further elaborate on it? =3

@Damoser: That would sound more like an activity in the ForgetMeNot group. But if you all want to, then maybe i can work out a joint contest with that group. ;D

Well I got a few ideas on it:
Idea 1:

Read more... (click to view)

Idea 2:

Read more... (click to view)

Idea 3:

Read more... (click to view)


I reckon those things are quite easy to make for everyone. The better photoshopper might be able to blend the anime character a bit better than the inexperienced, but of course originality will be rewarded as well. So I think it can be a good contest.

So simple image manipulation. it'd look better if then celebrity was vectored into anime styling, which shouldn't be too terribly hard to do. if you can vector at all, you should be able to figure it out.

Putting anime characters to a stock photo is a way too simple, and kinda random.
Also don't like the "celebrity vectoring", I can imagine better anime characters as some looser Hollywood star.

You know the whole problem is, when we have a complicated contest like making a wall, there will always be the same competers, plus everyone is too busy with big contests in other groups. An easy contest will allow the less-skilled photoshopper in our group to have a chance and learn some stuff. Don't forget that what takes us a few minutes, can take a few hours for a less-experienced artist.
So I hope that the people who want to compete in a contest, but think they're not good enough, can perhaps post their ideas here?


By the way, I remember there was a walling contest in some group once where you had to base your wall on an album cover of a cd. I always wanted to do something like that too. Maybe we can do that too, making an anime version of a dvd cover of a famous movie, for instance?
