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.
"Love the paint job. :) I mean, if this wasn't an anime, we would really mistake the art intended for a real portrait. I do hope though, that I would be able to see more of your work; this time something that is not shaded anymore with sunset and earth colors. " View

"Haha, I've played Patapon too! And you have done a very good job in making the background into a day scene based from the scan that you have shown. My only comment for improvement is that.. I don't know if it was because my PC had a slow download so I couldn't check if it's true or not, but I think the wallpaper is missing crispness of the vector. The bodies of the Patapons and the drums were nicely made (I salute to you!) but as I tried to keep my eyes peeled on the clubs of the Dekopons, they looked kind of blurred, even at the maximum resolution.
Aside from that, it's so rare to see a Patapon wallpaper after visiting this site after a long time, so... I love it. :3 Great job!" View

"This is wonderful; i love the art because it's done well. The only thing that I would like to give emphasize is the lighting. This wallpaper is supposed to be a night wallpaper, but it mustn't be too dark in the sense that you wouldn't see anything, hence, you wouldn't appreciate it. I recommend making light effects in the sky, then make it reflect on your character and the grass so that it would look add more life." View

"Wow, I love the burst of energy in this wallpaper! All the colors are in harmony, and I love the flower power! Awesome textures too to look out once you see it at full screen. Too bad the image doesn't look vectored (Am I right? O.o) because it kinda doesn't fit the smooth background. Hope to see a textless version btw. Good concept. :)" View

"Can i see a link where you took the scan? Because it wouldn't get in here if plus, i think it's better without the english text, the one with 'Love letter.. I think of you always'. All of the text is too slanted, so make it even, because even if you meant for it to be slanted, it doesn't look good." View

"I think the main image will be better if it's vectored. Looking at it in whole, the background has smooth and colorful shapes, but somehow, the manga image itself doesn't sync with the smooth background. So my advise is to vector Mokona too so that it follows the smoothness of the whole wallpaper." View

"Before I comment on the wallpaper:
The lyrics you have put there are the lyrics of the song 'Wish' by Olivia, not 'A Little Pain'.
Overall, this wallpaper is just a neat version of the scan you have put. But I like this, and the texture. It's much cleaner, clearer, and better. Great job on this," View
