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.
Well, mom paid it, so okay. And she chosed the DVD player with "I want that cause it would look good in the room". For what the hell we have now 500W 5.1 speakers?
"If I was you, I'd do these two things... but since I'm not you I can't. And it's not my wallpaper, so I'm not gonna tell you what to do, but anyway...
I'd prolly either color the feathers a little more blue, make them transparent or remove them, to make it easier to focus on the middle... and I'd make the blue "shadow" of the text look more like a reflection in the water... and I'd make the text's outline look a little smother. Just my honest opinions...
"Like a few people already said the foreground perhaps is a little sharp compared to the background...
but wow! Coolies! Lots of atmosphere and the eerie feeling is highly present, dark wallpapers with shiny effects always charms my heart. I didn't know you did wallies like this Emma, good job!
"I like the fact that the background looks like the rising sun pattern that's so typically Japanese. Considering her fate and wish it's a good theme, keep walling this good and I'll be sure to comment your future projects~
"Lovely, glad to see some toned-down wallpapers like this, very neutral and pleasant to the eye yet not dull at all. Good idea and craftsmanship. I like the style with detailed vector and texture-y fill~
I'm looking forward to a Zoro version *hint-hint*, although Sanji is one of my favorites too!
"Coolies! I just finished Wolf and Spice/Spice and Wolf yesterday. Nice wallie, even if there was anything I didn't like with it I wouldn't comment on it, wouldn't want that lil' wolf jumping down and bite me.
She does look more lovely than wise as previously stated. Keep em coming~
First thing I'd comment on is that if it was 1920x1200 or along the line I'd prolly be using it on my desktop by now, to bad ^^;
Secondly; Lovely work really. I would have preferred the soul-version of the wall if you had given all the souls a little individuality, good idea and thinking making alternative versions.
The lines along his leg add a certain something, I'm glad you added it. The background is simple, personally I like lots of detail but this one is good; and I know a lot of people prefer less detail than me so not gonna argue with you there. The brushes are just about right, they add depth and character yet stays in the background and doesn't steal focus.
"If this was a normal 'my-first-wallpaper' I'd prolly have a lot of nasty things to say, but although my eyes wants to focus on the right part of your wall (despite my best attempts to not do it!) I can't fail to notice that you really did a Okey job on the background. Hell I can't think of anything bad at all to say about it, you somehow captured the essence and made everything fit together - despite the background and foreground being so different. I like it, despite red and yellow being the colors enjoy the least.
Only thing I would be able to say something about is the text, but even that part is not bad at all.
God job, keep walling! I'll be sure to check out your future projects~
"It feel like we got quiet a few things in common. I love this wallie; the color, shades, everything. I know very well I'm a sucker for these kinds of walls and can't let go of them, but still this is really good. The background fits perfectly, it is noticeably beautiful and captivating yet lets you focus on the foreground, which is simple, clean and most of all deserve the attention of being the main focus. Well done! I really hope you continue making wallpapers like this. Or continue making wallpapers at all, it'd be a shame if you didn't. ^^
"One word: Wah~ (If that even is a word)
This was amongst the better walls I've ever seen! Probably partly because I adore this clean and smooth style. And it's blue. And it's a Fafner-piece... and it's right out friggin awesome! If you take everything that's good about this wallpaper and put them in a pot it would break, cuz they don't do pots that big~
"I have to agree, Grimmjow as he is called in the anime atleast, is one of my favorite villains so far. And he looks cool in this wallie, it may be a simple background but that brick wall really fits the atmosphere for some reason.
"Alright let me get the first part over with fast. First off some stars look very similar, the cluster in the upper left corner at least. Secondly mebbe you could work in a higher resolution and then downscale the final wallpaper? It seams slightly pixel-y at some parts.
Ok, now here we go~ I love this wallpaper! The sky, clouds and birdies make my jaw drop to the floor. It's clean, smooth and simply brilliant. I also have to point out that I love the effect you did with the 'transparent clothes' and let the heaven show through. Even the vector is beautiful, my only issue; like I mentioned earlier - is the slight pixelation on some edges... but who cares when it's this pretty! To bad there's no 1920x1200 version avaliable~ :3
The design is simple and soft just like the colors. This lil' wall is pleasant to look at and the background fits the image all too well - even better than the original.
I adore works like this so much because I love the style, I wish I could do things like this! Anyway your idea about throwing in some pink with the rest of the colors was nice - it made this work a sure /Fav~" View

"Alright where do I start? G friggin' G for starters. This rocks, I never finished Kaleido Star but one day I will, maybe then I'll fully comprehend what you wanted to show. Still I can't find anything to dislike about this wall, it all blends in nicely, the colors are simple yet far from boring or dull. The spheres around add a cool effect, I especially like how the ones near her head and hair look like tears (or that's how I interpret them) while the others look more like bubbles, and you can't really figure out where they change from one to the other.
You get a cookie for the effort, nice high resolution and concept/idea. And I don't give out those to just anyone. Keep doing things like this!
The vector feels mebbe just a little unsharp compared to the rest of the wallie, but meh doesn't really bother me. the sky and water though, and the colors really fit the theme. I didn't notice any problems with the clouds unless I look really closely - or mebbe I'm just tired.
"The idea alone is sweet, and add the very simple yet intriguing layout and color scheme and we have a winner. To bad there's no higher resolution or wide version. Keep doing what you do~
I was vectoring that exact scene myself a day ago, I guess it's no mystery why you chose it. Uhm yes about the wallpaper, I give you full score for the beautiful vector. However (how do I say this without making more enemies around here?) I don't 'approve' of the background, but meh that's just me - everyone has their preferences and needs. It's not at all badly done though at all. The setting reminds me of Karin somehow, but then I guess that's elements you can find in any vampire anime/manga/film or whatever. Keep doing what you do Yukina~
