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 idea of a wall paper was very well done. For the composition my eyes starts with the power coming from his hand/arm then follows his face to the rest of the picture (That's what you were going for right?). I do love the special effects and I'm always a sucker for blue, especially when it's done right. There are two things about the image; 1st the sparkles in the background seem a little out there like they don't have much to do with Ishida, but they do. 2nd is something that others already brought up about the unclear lines here and there when close up.
However, overall I think you did a great job on this piece and that this is work you should be proud of. " View

"This is a beautiful wallpaper. The setting, the buidlings, and the special effects of the butterflies. A vesion put together very well. The only thing that I think could use some improvement is the light on Rukia, perhaps some shade and/or sunset hue to her clothes. Other then that you did great job vectoring her, if I read your commentary correct." View

"All that hard work you put into vectoring this piece came out beautifully. It has a sensual feel to it, elegant, yet with a touch of mallicous intention from the fan dancer. The colors you vectored with were a perfect choice for the facial expression. Very impressive skills, overall you made a great wallpaper.
Two thumbs up for a wonderful piece." View

"Not to sound like a total dork, but this wallpaper you made really put me in awe. To me it has a futuristic, gritty, yet earthy feel to it. Kinda like the style of the anime Texnolyze. I think you did a great job with vectoring the girl and with the layout design of the wallpaper.
Two thumbs up :)" View

"I can't believe how few favs this wallpaper has, especially when it's just kick a$$. I love the compisition of the girl in a sketchy black and white yet it's still smooth, enough so that is flows with the blackness, gray and soft white. It doesn't have a dark or gothic feeling to it but a powerful warrior and the colors represent their aura. My hats off to you for making such a great piece." View
