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 is really beautiful - you did a great job painting everything. The lack of detail on the characters brings out the gorgeous background, especially the ruins.

You did an amazing job on the manip/vector (Rukia still looks a little weird, I'm not sure what it is, but overall it's really great!)
I think the background theme really matches the wall, but maybe you could of made it more colorful.
anyway, great wall - can't wait for more! " View

The scene seems so simple and peaceful yet the details are astonishing. Plus the dark green coloring and the bright lanterns really look good.

"The vector is beautiful, you chose a very nice picture of Yuki. However, I'm not a fan of the background. It's very blurry compared to the vector and they don't seem to match.
Overall, I really like it! Good job!" View
