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.

It's rated E, for everyone. added as my favorite. thank you so much."

"Perfectly, this reminds me of an illustration from a kids book- playful swirls & colors

These really good wallpapers make me wonder how much of it was scan & how much was artist's own rendering - I'd be amazed to find that except for the characters themselves the background & setting were done entirely by the artists - gabychan

actually as i read author's comments - he vectored and then smeared with brush, i think - isnt that right? pretty good

added as favorite"

"Ok, no spamming - i dont think that above was spamming, but i'll add here,

i was listening to halo 3 sound track, and with the ahhh ahh ahh chorus music this wallpaper seemed realy really really good & mysterious to me when I saw this "highlighted" on the right side of the page

thats what prompted me to click & write

I'd be very impressed if you did all this by hand on the computer"

"It's a very good wallpaper - you added even better things than the stuffs i suggested. good thinking with getting rid of the teal figure completely - also it's much neater with the white circles rather than red circles. GJ"

Under the Blue Sky

"Amazing, very good job. again, follows my philosophy that you don't need sailor fuku & half nude girls to make a good wallpaper. Very good & rich color combination - safe to the eye - it doesn't blind me like some other wallpapers.

It's something that I can use without worrying if I'd be seen as a freak or not. "

"It's very good. good color scheme - safe to the eye, usable as a background

it has some sort of story to it - i can imagine her in restive mood in the afternoon staring emptily at something.

it's very different from the other anime wallpapers that have anime girls in nude or bikini in full body display pointlessly staring back at you. & they have no story to their existence except it's just nude display & that's all it is. or like it's "hey, i'm cute."

large resolution - that's good. gj"

It will be hard for us to find anything as good as this in the next 5 years

Equally as hard for fire and storm to make a better one. Let's keep our hopes up - this is much better than the previous "Proper Education"

Again, this wallpaper follows my philosophy -

* The character is actually doing something, like playing guitar (actually a weapon, in shape a of a guitar), instead of making cute poses

* The background and all else around the anime character have substance & details - floor, door, wall, shadow, lights, unlike some lame wallpapers with some blank transparent fill of random colors as if the character was floating in empty space

*No completely random or blatantly romantic phrases like "Summer Love" or "Fiery blaze". The drawing speaks for itself.

*Very good combination of colors to express atmosphere & theme - much better than the other papers that have random fills & mixes of colors - safe for my eyes to rest on for many hours - acceptable as a background for my computer. In other words, other wallpapers usually have these really strong colors that would hurt your eyes if you were to stare at them for 10 minutes or more.

*'Good sense of realism, little trace of "worshiping anime goddesses" (i.e. wallpapers that have these half-naked female characters in cute poses & friendly smiles, makes you look like a complete weirdo if you were to set them on your desktop). Anyone can use this wallpaper without any fear of staining their personal reputation.

*Extra credit for trying to convey some deeper meaning or realization - I'm guessing that the girl with a saw-cutter in shape of a guitar "on the stage" reveals the reality that we ourselves, the anime fans, are really violent individuals - for the purpose of entertainment, we put a girl with a violent weapon on stage & cheer on. Anime audience is not exclusive to 3rd graders.

Apart from that, it's my assumption that the character was from a magazine, etc., but the background was totally the work of the author. I want to compliment the author for putting such a nice effort on the background - anyone can copy paste a character drawing from a magazine & then fill the backgroudn with some purple & blue & some "loving you" & circles, but this must have taken a lot of time & it really shows the difference between a great wallpaper maker & mediocre one.
