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.
"Nyahaha... Digital Devil Saga,.. a very good game, I heard,.. though I don't understand the Buddhism language much, but it sounds quite cool O_o. I haven't played it, but maybe I'll look into it sometimes later.
Neways, the wall concept is very nice, but a bit lack contrast in color and maybe if you add some noise effect it would appear more 'sharpened' than it was." View

"Merry Christmas to you, too, Kalico :D
the wall is, wow... really comes up with the holidays season spirit! And the vectored Jing is of a superb quality...
the whole background gives a dark, but nice feeling of a cold, winter night. The lamps and styles matches well with the show (reminds me of the city of time in the TV series, somehow)
Some of the windows look a bit 'smudged' on the edges and a bit too blurry, but I guess that's still fine, because most of the snow falling covers that up and make the focus more on Jing himself.
All in all, a very nice christmas presentation, and it's good to see a hq Jing wall after some time.. (yeah, it's kinda rare)." View

I indeed aggree about this being 'theatrical' , it's absolutely... unimaginable ^_^'
never watched X1999, but I'm sure it's a big and good stuff... (CLAMP isn't it?)
Well, overall, truly stellar job, can't say anything bad about this XD" View

"Oh, Loveless... it's quite rare to find a wallpaper out of the series :)
Really nice grungework... it's dark, but has significant contrasts at some places... which overall gives a shaded and mysterious feeling overall...
and I must say, grunge is probably the most suitable approach to wall that scan... very fitting, and the hair color adds yet another eye candy to the whole..
All in all, I don't see anything wrong with this,... well... I think the text is a tad too big, but that isn't a big problem, more like a personal preference :)
Sweet job, Kalico ;)" View

"There are slight misaligments in the lines... but hardly noticeable, tho..
everything else is nice... the simple brushed bg works well in maintaining focus to Kon..
as for the cape color... well, I think that's a bit too contrasting, but I guess because it's manually colored then it's already nice as it is...
Great job overall, Kon is one of my favorite charcters from Bleach. I hope he'll show up again later in soul society to cheer things up XD~" View

"A new genre of vector, really refreshing, and very eye-candy because of the colourful-ness :D
I like it a lot!
Stellar is quite a serious person... but through this wall, I see her as an entirely different personality... :) Great job on the title, too... 'Stellar Extended' sounds really matching with it...
I've seen the progress through Session Zero, and I must also say, great work, now the lines look clean and crisp ;)
all in all, splendid work!" View

the colors are really nice, and the feather and the light ray gives a very different but awesome look to the whole wall... :)
Misuzu looks as cute as ever...
not so sure about the title, tho.. but that would be my only gripe about this wall.. ^_^'

great feel and touch with those reddish accents.. and also with the red water effects...

Somehow, I think, if Ed was lying on the floor, there should be some visible shadows on the floor, but,.. ah well, the lighting setup is very much complicated as it is...

I love it,...
but I also think that the reflection needs to be more transparent and modified,... because it isn't visually correct... and the circles can use some blurring/ray effects to cover the aliasing...
