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.
"Wow, I love it, seriously. Awesome scan continuation, I haven't seen it before, so I don't know how much you've done. It doesn't really matter though, whatever you did, you did an excellent job. The idea is awesome, too...I've always admired simple walls.
Although you're probably new to AP, I can see glimpse of a great waller (or already one, but I can't tell with 1 wall haha). xD +fav and f/l" View

"Great choice of colour, and the mood was depicted really well. You could've added more detail on the vector, and more effects...such as glows, etc. The text could've been done better too, not much to it...probably could've just added "..." at the end, to create a more moody effect. Great idea and execution. +fav :P" View

"W00t! I like it, no more grainy texture, this time, you put a better texture. =D Nice peaceful mood depicted, I actually calmed down looking at it. xD Lovely text, too. Crits...yea, the clouds...though it's still nice, could be better. ;D I'll fave this one. " View

"Love the idea, but better positioning of the designs would've improved the wall a lot. It's great, but I'm just saying that it's not as good as it can get, and you can make it better just by shifting the bg a bit. Focus points and such. Good work. :D" View

"I like the artsy effect on Rukia, but it seems overdone, and rather looks like a LQ scan, maybe you should've bolden the lines before you colored it. :\ You could've probably done more of the same effect on the background, too, then it'd be awesome. " View

"Woah. Grunge abstract. ;D I lurve it, really. Hmmm...I don't see a lot of things wrong, heck, I probably only see one. xD The robot guy (sorry, dunno the name x_x;) is very hard to tell. All I saw was some blob on darkness at first, then kinda realised he had eyes. :\ Might want to brighten him up, and put less stuff on top of it, so I can actually see him. Otherwise, great stuff. :D" View

"Hm...awesome choice of colours (my fav colours =D), great vector, cool design, with chinese = 1337. xD
Not really any complaints except it looks a bit too saturated. o.o; Anyways, love the blood at the bg. =D Really looks realistic. ;) And as you can probably tell...I love dark moody walls. " View

"Pretty cool. Nice and simple. I see some extraction errors, and the bg seems to be rather too random. Could've made some snow to blend it all together or something. :P The text "bliss" could've been done better, too.
Nice composition. Lots of icon space, and a nice relaxing mood. o.o;" View

"Wowzorz. Everything's rocking except the TV. :O:O:O Imo, something looks weird, maybe you still want to adjust the lighting of it a bit. >=D Everything else looks fine though, wonderful re-cging. ;D
I still dunno how to re-cg. o_o; Everytime I try, it turns into a vector. o.O
"Hmm, everything looks great to me except the water. It could look a little less realistic. :P Also a question: why is Rei still up there? O_o Awesome vectoring, as always. :)
"Actually, I find it pretty good. Though the thumbnail does give a false impression. What I find that really bothers me is the colour you chose. Yellow doesn't really go very well with black and white, it makes some kind of disturbing feeling. If you had chose the right colour(s), this wall would be excellent. You might want to kill that Sasuke on the left right, too...it doesn't have much to do with your main scan.
The text is a bit strange, too big and bad font. D: The overall wall needs more white, too. :\ You could also continued his curse pattern a bit in the background, to make it more fancy. :P" View

You have some awesome vectoring skills, I think you should have applied that to the houses, too. Otherwise, everything is top notch. ;)" View
