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.
@Deer: Too busy. It's not fair cause I haven't had any time to spend on the computer until now =S. But thank you for wishing me luck, I need it. How are you though?
@Super: I downloaded a demo for it on my PS3, it's creepy but that's what makes it good ;P. It even got a 8.5 on Gamespot./@Deer: Easier to say than to do.. sadly =( I have to do a radio show later and do a report.
"Wow, this looks so beautiful! From your description you make it sound so easy but I bet quite a lot of work was put into making this wallpaper. It's perfect for a desktop wallpaper, so thank you very much for the widescreen There isn't more I can say about it; I just love it and it earns a very deserved fav from me. Keep up the good work!"

"Woo, congrats on the B- rating already! *hugs* This wallpaper sure deserves it! Like I said, people don't know exactly how much work went into making it!
Yeah, shape layers can be pretty annoying when you want to outline, but I find them easier to manipulate. It does look better though, with outline it has a too "regular" look ._.
I'll have to agree with that, I'm lucky Ritsuka covers up half of the fence! I still think it's wobbly and will fall to its death when I turn my back on it Darn you, fence!
Ahem, of course I'm gonna fav it :3 Yet another great work from you, dear Kelsey! " View

For a first wall, this is quite good. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to seeing more from you! :)" View

"Honestly, this is one of the best wallpapers I've seen in a while. I guess what drew me to it was its simplicity and pastel colors, I'm a sucker for those. And vectoring it so well from a manga scan... well, you get extra points for that! I love the colors and frankly you couldn't have picked better ones!
Keep up the good work! ^_^" View

Um, back to the wallpaper itself lol. I love every bit of it and I'm glad you also put up the full version, though I like them both and can't decide which to have on my desktop! And I see you used shapes now (forgot to mention this in TheO), I suppose it was easier to do than with Stroke Path. And yeah, those wings are CRAZY! You sure had a lot of patience in making them but I'm glad you did, they're so sparkly and cute!
You get extra points for the awesome color combination, it gives off such a summery feeling! Truly a good idea to start the summer with! +fave from me, 'tis always difficult to vector a manga scan and you pulled it off marvelously! Keep up the great work, ok?

In fact, I'm going to have this as a wallpaper just to look at it more In my opinion, you're already great at vectoring so there's not much you can still learn; maybe some tricks here and there, but you've definitely risen from the rest of the vector artists!
Good luck on your future projects! I'll be looking forward to seeing more beautiful creations like this one! :)" View

"I love that you're getting so good at texture wallpapers! It doesn't matter if it looks similar, the idea is good and I agree, the original scan did remind me of an old photo! One small observation, though: their faces are a bit too bright in some parts and I can't see their expression clearly. That's a minor thing, not too important, I suppose it adds to the antique look of the wallpaper :)
And yeah, I'm loving the textures you used, they fit perfectly! As I said before, you've become a genius in manipulating them! Under-appreciated series need more love, keep up the great work!" View

Since I saw the thumbnail I knew I found my new desktop!
The title looks fine to me, I don't think you should change it. The font is perfect.

"Frankly, I love the placement of everything in this wall :) I think you shouldn't take anything out but add things to it. For starters, dim the colors of the rainbow a bit and they won't look so contrasting. Second, you can add a shadow under Fakir and Ahiru or a bunch of swirly brushes to make the wall more complex (I'm guessing it wasn't accepted because of the simplicity, since the quality is high).
Oh, and the vector is really beautiful, I can tell a lot of work went into it :)" View

I don't mind her wings, I think they look better a little "edgy" than round, it makes the character look in motion :3 O_O And I totally respect you for drawing those legs so well! One small tip: erase the tip of the outlines a bit so they won't be that round (it creates a nice effect, like fading).
