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.
"Best wallpaper of the Zombie Loan gallery so far! :DD
The style fits Zombie Loan. :D I dunno why exactly, but it's got that feeling. :]
Thank goodness Michiru doesn't have that blank/happy/cliche look on her face.
I felt that it would have kinda ruined the mood. o3o
Great job! >O<" View

"From your description, it seemed like a simple process.
Doesn't mean it was tedious though. ;D
But I love the textures and coloring. :D
I have yet to master textures.
Just one question though; do you use your own textures or is it from somewhere? o.o

"Those brushes look so good in that wallie...I always take an interest in these kinds of wallies. xD
I'm not sure if I like or dislike that empty space; if the center piece was any bigger, it'd be ruined.
But it does look a bit empty at the same time...
Keep up the good work though!" View

"Lols, I can understand why you wanted to wall that scan.
It's a nice wallpaper though; I actually support Zero with Yuuki (I feel like I'm a bit of a loner with that xD).
The roses seemed pretty good in the scan, so I was thinking it might look good on the wallpaper. But then again, I always get this sort of thing wrong. " View

"Rather frightening. xD
I rarely find this type of wallpaper satisfactory for me, but it is.
I just have a problem with the Sakura petals; they look really scattered, like they were carefully put in the wall, carefully spaced out, etc.
You should have at least made them a bit more random so it looks more realistic. :X
But it's a good wallpaper overall!" View

I like your depiction of C.C. when she was little; I'm pretty sure they haven't shown her at such a young age yet (unless I'm behind on the episodes)." View

Try putting Lelouch and Suzaku in a larger background though; like do something more with the background. Although fangirls may wanna have Lelouch and Suzaku enlargened on their desktop...ahaha...xD" View

"I never watched Darker than Black, but I definitely know that this wallpaper was worth featuring, and that it is too beautiful, that words aren't enough!
But I'm gonna try anyways. ;D
The best feature of this wallpaper is the sky for me...starlights and a shooting star look authentic and is one of the best parts of the wallpaper!
I also love the reflection in the water~
And lastly, thank goodness you did not make that character standing at the water any bigger; it truthfully would have ruined the beauty.

But the size is sort of small. :X Next time try working from a bigger size?
And Utau's eye looks a bit weird with the flame/light.
Maybe changing the eye color and tweaking the exposure, brightness, or something will do the trick instead of using a flame/light?
And I'm also not sure about this, but what if there was some text [just some] above Utau? Instead of just on the left of her?
But...overall, it's a pretty good wallie, and it's got some good space for desktop icons. :]
