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.
"Hate me, but I love teal! Especially in this wall xD
I also love the design! The street lamps and the clock give an antique feeling, but the other elements make it look very... fishy xD
I'm not getting anywhere, but I totally love this!" View

copy/paste from mt:
I love this! I think it's the best of the three!
The colors and the nature-themed simple background are very fitting to the series' mood and type of irony. And you did that without even seeing the anime, lol.
Great work!" View

"Man, you're killing us with your cool walls and low resolutions! This looks fantastic, especially the vector, but it's a waste since I can't view it fullscreen!
You made that awesome Code Geass wall too and I can't use any as desktop " View

"I think it's great that you conveyed such a message through your wall. I often think about that kind of things too.
As for the composition, I don't see major problems... The bg seems a little saturated/overtextured, but I'm not a texture lover in the first place, so that may be subjective.
I agree about getting rid of that thing on her head.. I wonder what was that supposed to be." View

Ugetsu Hakua rocks and the desaturation and softening work really well on this one!
I've always loved the fascination for couples of underage looking girls and delinquent older guys that Range Murata and Ugetsu Hakua have xD" View

I can also see your work on this; the painting is neat and the glowing things and the atmosphere outside are really similar to the ones in halcyon's wall!

"The concept is pretty good, but it could have used more work.
I can see what you were going for with the background, but it came out too rough to match the characters' scan, which is very stylish. You put too much accent on the motion/danger side and ignored other aspects (the artwork)
As for the characters, vectoring would have been the most awesome thing (though I'm aware of the difficulty of vectoring this). At least some cleaning would have done, because it looks somewhat grainy and low quality the way it is now.
I also agree with this having a lot of potential!" View

"You are incredibly talented, this is really beautiful!
The sea and the horizon are somewhat weird and make the wall look flat. I think the horizon line is stroked, so I think you should unstroke it and maybe add the sky's reflection, as someone else already mentioned.
But aside from that, the vectoring and the light effects are pure love!" View

The concept is really good and it absolutely fits the series! There are some flaws in execution, but I think it's more important that you managed to come up with this whole idea!
I was really obsessed with Gantz too and it's still one of my fav series, but always so few walls >.<" View

Takamichi has a very beautiful painty style which makes his works difficult to vector. That's why I think that a clean extraction would have been more appropriate here!" View

Nice idea on the swing, but I think it would look better for Nodame to be not so on the outside, but completely inside (that sounds really cool, doesn't it *smug*)
