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.
"The title is pretty cool, I liked that little play with the words.. "Fuu Fighters". ^^
Now, the scan you used is pretty low quality, it lacks the proper resolution, and you can see a lot of jaggyness in the borders, and it looks too blurry.. it seems like you resized up a small image. The text in the middle is kind of "off" too, specially the "FUU". Try playing with other fonts. The kanji text is also a bit too distracting, try to make it blend more with the background. Wish you good luck!" View

Anyway this wallpaper has really great colors and very nice composition and cool and smooth shapes, it really caught my eye once I saw it in the front page of AP. It's a great job for a begginer as you say. Keep up the good work! " View

I think most people would be uncomfortable to look at this background for a long time. Besides, the black lines are all jaggy. I think I got what you wanted to do with this wall (give it a gloomy look, expressing Harima's feelings), but somehow it doesn't look right." View

"Wow, Cutey Honey walls are a rarity here! Nice to see one!! Well, I think the wall is very good overall, perhaps you could add something to the white area of the background, maybe a texture or something to ease the "whiteness". Anyway, good job!" View

"Watanuki would simply love your wall, "...Himawari-chaaaannnn..." ^_^
The work with the colors in the background is great! It gives a nice and warm look to the wall. The clouds blend very well with the rest of the wall. You did a nice job with the vectors too. I'd just try to make some outlines a bit smoother, they look a bit too sharp and a little bit jagged in my opinion. All in all, job well done! Otsukaresama! ^_^

"Wow, very neat work! Very cool perspective you got there and nice composition! The only thing that I didn't like is that the rendered windmills need some anti-aliasing. I have no idea how Maya works but can't you fix that. I think that would make this wall a lot better. " View

This is magic!! The background is simply breath-taking! The way you mixed the colors to compose the sky and hills is so awesome. The text is perfect, improving that soft, floaty look of the wall. Another fantastic piece of art, Clara! And let me already wish you a nice and happy new year, full of beautiful wallpapers like this one! ^^

"The scan quality is really bad. And the text is completely off. In my opinion, you should rework the whole concept and composition of the wall. First find a good high quality scan, check the AP gallery for example. Then think about the concept and how are you going to put everything together (scan, colors, text, etc). Wish you good luck!"

"Nice concept you got for the wall. I think you should make a more fancy ornament. Given the title I suppose that "ornament" represents a raindrop that has just hit the ground (or something like that.. ^^) so you could give a bit more shape to it, some curves. I think the fact that the lines in the left have different length is good (if my interpretation of the image is correct... ^^) But I think you should try to balance the lines and the "ornament" because one is very sharp and thin, and the other is thick.
Something that bothers me a bit is that the text and the outlines of the characters look too sharp, jaggy. And in my opinion, the font chosen doesn't suit well with wall. I think a simpler font might work better. Sorry if I'm being too picky. Wish you good luck & work!!

The background is simply fantastic! The sky/clouds are so beautifully painted, this is not a job for an amateur. The vector is totally mind-blowing! The shades and gradients really make the difference. You really took care of all the details of the character. Awesome artwork clarings!! Wish you could teach me how to paint like that. ^^" View

"It's a very colorful and nice wall! The concept and composition is very good! Some flowers and some leaves edges look a bit too sharp in my opinion, though. But I agree with you sakuraneko, vectoring the scans would improve the wall because you can clearly see the difference between the slightly blurry look of the scan and the sharpness of the rest of the wall.
I don't see why you wouldn't be good at vectoring characters since you seem to be very skilled with Illustrator. It's a simple process.. it just requires a lot of patience, that's all! ^^
You probably know this already but if you want to check a tutorial on tracing, I suggest this one. For an advanced technique on vector coloring, I suggest you to check this thread, where Tama-Neko gives us a light insight on the mesh gradients tool on Illustrator. Hope it helps! ^^" View

A completely mind-blowing artwork! The girl's vector is really beyond fantastic. It's amazing how her shoes look so real and there are so many details on the vector that it's hard to believe what yours eyes are seeing. Anna, Maria (hope you don't mind me calling by your first names. ^^) congratulations for the highlight! You girls completely deserve it and thank you for making such a beautiful artwork for us here in AP to appreciate it!
