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. This looks really classy! Red/black/white is always a nice color combination and you pulled it off exceptionally well. Judging by the thumbnail, I was not initially impressed, but boy am I glad I looked at the whole thing!
"Oh, this is just lovely. Sometimes less is more, and I'm glad you lavished your attention on the intrinsic details of the scan rather than added hundreds of embellishments and textures. It's a lovely wallpaper, and you did a marvelous job repainting the original!" View

"I really like the idea and the placement of the elements and everything you put in it. Except I personally would have preferred a cleaner wall. Still, at least the texture you used made the image softer. I still would have liked it less heavy, so the "lightness" of feeling is emphasized.
I don't make sense past midnight I'm afraid...sorry.
+fave, in spite of my comments. It's really lovely." View

"This wallpaper is one of the classiest ones I've ever seen, and certainly unique! It's like an incredible cross between a stained glass window and watercolor painting. I can't stop staring at it. I really admire your imagination for coming up with such a unique way to color an image. The artwork and strokes are also gorgeous." View

"Haha, and I was thinking if you've seen one iPod spoof, you've seen them all. Oh, this wall just proves me WRONG. The iGod title AND the bitten apple AND the shinigami in the apple combine to make a kind of triple-pun. It's just so clever and APPROPRIATE and it doesn't seem at all like one of those iPod walls done JUST SO someone can make an iPod wall. It's just really smart!" View

"The background looks like random filter effects slapped together - and it doesn't really suit the image. Parts of her also sort of melt into it, which would not be a problem in some cases, but here the main image is so sharp and it's weird to see through her edges into the background." View

"She seems a little too bright for such a subdued background, and the background needs some more. As it is, it's a bit too plain. The extraction is fine, too. However, there's a part near her left shoulder (her left) where the sleeve's outline has been cut off/erased. However, she's now so bright (did you use the duplicate + overlay/soft light technique?) that her mouth and nose kind of get lost in her face, specially underneath her dark eyes.
Right now, though, I think you should focus on the background. Add something that would make the whole thing interesting, that would pull it all together.
"Wonderful texturing! I keep wanting to see (or make) an Ergo Proxy wall ala opening sequence, and this one fills in that desire. Wonderful use of textures, and congrats on finding that font! It's not too different from the logo. Great job all in all." View

No, wait. That's just how convincing the wallpaper is. Frankly, if it takes the loss of sanity to make a wallpaper this awesome, then everybody should lose their mind right now!
There's just so much energy and passion emanating from this wall. The title suits it well." View
