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?

"Your penwork is great! The blood you added to your cute character really twists it into a more amusing and appreciating wall... setting it aside from the typical generic walls (add girl here, add instrument there, conclude with hearts, etc) and it's a great spin for your entire presentation! Great work " View

"Welcome to AP and pretty wallie. You definitely did well on the dreamy part of the wall and the colors are nice and vibrant. My only thing is that the butterflies in my personal opinion stand out a little much for your dreamy soft wall. Other then that, nice first wall! Hope to see you around~ " View

"I've yet to play all of Xenosaga.. but Kosmos is an awesome char and your background that you chose to compliment her in was well accompanied. My favorite part of this wall is probably the color choice you have... the blues and steely shades work well with her and really add a sorta velocity to the entire image. Great work " View

"I really like the image you used... your vector of his expression is great! And people need more simple in their life because minimalism is great, esp when you can pull it off!
"Great work... I'm not a Bleach fan but I absolutely love the old japanese painting styles and textures... and I absolutely love your background to the image. Haha, as a matter of fact, I'd be just happy with the background But the main image you used fits nicely with the actual wall too lol. Anyway, great style, blending, colors... it looks great!" View

My only suggestion would be to brighten up the entire image a little bit more. I understand you've got a realistic photo/shading thing going but it's a bit too dark for me to be able to fully appreciate the work you put into it! " View

"Really cute vector~ I really like the effect you have going with the fine lines of the vector and the characters themselves and the more realistic/surreal blurry fireworks... the colors on the fireworks are great! I think the piece looks great but I'm tempted to wonder what it might look like without the black outlines... but that's just my mind randomly going down a different direction...
The glows you have sparkling at the bottom of the wall along with the silhouette of the girl make this wall simply beautiful and ethereal. The birds... the text, even the swirly brackets that compliment the text... it's all very beautifully done. Thank you for the work " View

The checkered floor is a nice touch and contrast to the warmer/dreamier colors of the bunnies and her and I just love the concept of this wall. Everything in this wall's concept is well done.

"This wall is stunning. There have been so many similar Jigoku Shoujo walls lately that all capture the artistic beauty of Enma Ai but your wall brings out the theme of the anime in a really surreal way. The candles, water, lighting... Enma Ai, they're all beautifull done and the effect of this wall is beautifully achieved. Thank you for the work of art :)" View

"This is probably one of my absolute favorite Samurai Champloo walls I've seen. It's got a really creative abstract look to the entire thing and the little details you put everywhere along with the greater abstract images you aligned against Mugen's sword are really well done. Even the color scheme of Fuu/Mugen/Jin in Yellow/Red/Blue are elements that I really appreciate in this wall. Great job " View

"This is probably one of my favorite concept walls I've seen here on AP. The thumbnail does absolutely no justice for the wall... The clover stock image you used and the main silhouette image you have in the corner work really well together. The colors you chose for the clover really blend and masque into the scenic sky and give the entire image a great warm scenic look. The quotation you have for the wall captures the theme perfectly and even though I haven't seen the anime or what the actual anime's quotation means in terms of theme, I still get my own personal kind of understanding of the theme you are portraying in this wall. Amazing job " View

"There is something about the colors on this wall and the not so strong highlights and shadows on this wall that really stand out to me in a positive way. I think it's that the characters you vectored actually really really compliment the textured background you have them in and it's almost weird to describe... but the gears are like kinda/sorta part of the characters and vice versa because of the way you styled the colors. The gears and the disintegration of the entire piece are very well done and I really appreciate the effect and creativity of the disintegration effect in the background because it's an extremely difficult effect to pull off nicely. Great wall and I look forward to seeing more from you " View
