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?
"Nice! Really cute, very crisp picture. The background goes nicely gives the character a magical aura-like thing. Really cool." View

"Very nice, dark, but with the hint of light over the horizon, nice sunset, seems to give off the "the present is dark but the future holds some hope" kind of feel. Very well done." View

"Really like this one! The background is great, not too plain, and not too full. The variable darkness of the stripes was a very nice touch, gives the picture a wavy feel to it. Very nice vectoring, with a cool speckle effect around, nice! Keep up the good work!" View

"A totally awesome wallpaper! I really like the "simpleness" feeling that the borderless vectoring gives off. It's really cute. I find that the textures make the wall nicer, the clean one seems... well clean... just a bit boring... just a bit... In any case, very well done, I really love it! Kudos and keep up the good work!"

"Wow! Awesome wall! The glowing wings look really nice, especially since most of the gundam is in shadow. The dawning sun brings light to one side of the planet. I'd like to think the image is trying to say that weapons, like gundams, can be both good or bad, which is it depends on who is using them and for what end. Well, that's my philosophical 2-cents for today. Good job, and keep it up!" View

"Very nice! The only thing for me is that its a bit too bright. I find myself squinting when I look at the details. That and the text is a bit too close to the side, though the font works really well. Good job!" View

"Hey, nice wall! Like the shadow from the tree, really well done. I liek the addition of cherry-blossom petals too, adds a happy, gentle feel to it, contrasting with her gun and rather apathetic look. Nice!" View

"I really like the background sunset and birds, but the fire seems to be a bit flat. The "Apocalyse Now" test is kinda out of place I find, it would have been better if the font weren't so gothic and flowery, would be easier to read if it were more plain because of the glow it has. Gothic fonts are really only good with high contrast. But, good job nonetheless and keep working on it!" View

"Hey, that's a totally awesome wallpaper! Really like the buildings in the background, did you do that from scratch? Thought the red overtone was cool too, matched the characters, but maybe the outline of the characters should be a little darker, to make them stand out more...Anyway, great job! Keep it up!" View

"Totally cute wallpaper! I really love the background, I like how the clouds were done. The feathers and birds were a nice touch, adds a little something to it to make it less plain. Like the sparkles too, makes her look magical, she'd have to be to hold a planet... Anyway, Great job! Keep it up." View
