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.
"Since when did you apprentice yourself to grayserg? The similarity in style shows, but it's also different in a way that makes the wall your own. Anyhow, it's absolutely hawt. Wouldn't be doing it justice if I didn't fave it. Great job!
"Apologies for not following up on your last session zero posts - been awfully busy recently. Anyways you've chosen a pretty good text placement yourself. Imho, would be easier to read if it went from bottom up instead of from top down, but that's just nitpicking.
Good work removing the unwanted starry light fx from the text. Next time, you'll remember to save different versions as you work so that you can go back and undo stuff like that more easily! ;Þ
Good job, for your first wallpaper here!
btw, it's Session Zero, not section zero. ^^" View

Excellent stuff. Unfortunately the 1600x1200 version loses out greatly to the widescreen in terms of beauty - the position of the tree perfectly follows 1/3 rule in the WS version but that is lost when cropped to 4:3 dimensions. Can't beat widescreen for panoramic beauty." View

"It's lovely, the soothing warm color scheme, builds just the right atmosphere for the scan. Excellent work with the scan, too, it's seamless ;) If I really had to find something to complain about, it's a tad too bright for my liking. Otherwise, great work as always!" View

"A neat fusion of pop style with technical elements, love the way you weave in everything - especially the Spike vector. Excellent use of limited colors - just the red aircraft standing out from the grayscale background, and a spot of text - draws the eye perfectly." View

""more things that need to be fixed", you say... but, there really isn't much more you can do. It's a lovely concept that accentuates the powerful imagery of the original scan. Good job, +fav." View

"'Truly beautiful' is right, there's just no other way to put it. Solid vectoring, as usual.
I'm curious why the reflection in the floor appears to be displaced to the right relative to the vector, though.
