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.

"Truly amazing. I also enjoy digital painting. The individual hairs makes the wall look sharp and detail compared to the relative softness of the snow. Nice job!" View

"Nice job on this wall. I really like the yellowish tint of the whole wallpaper as it gives it the look of a sunset scene. I also like the "colored pencil" style of coloring in the wallpaper. It's a great change from all of those vector walls." View

"Amazing wallpaper. Like a previous commenter said, it reminds me of ARIA in its softness and overall "feel" of the wall. It's the details that really nail this piece together. Along with the favorite, I'd like to award you with "The Longest Wall Description Ever" Award. jk ;p" View

"Wow! Such a well done wall. The paint effect looks very realistic, almost like watercolors. The text "Now I step forward to realize this wish..." reminds me of the Make a Wish Foundation for some reason. Nice job." View

"Hey you submitted it! This is an awesome vector in my opinion although the background seems kind of simple. But I think that's necessary to pull off the Scarface effect you said you were going for. Nice job." View

"Very clean, very nice. I just saw the first episode of the new Kanon and I too got Kanon fever all over again. I especially like the purple lighting effect you have in this wall. The scan was cleaned up beautifully and blends well with all of the work you have done.
"You did a nice job. I particularly like how well you controlled the lighting effects for Shana and the rest of the wallpaper. The background is beautiful and I like the subtle water effects on the pond. The only thing that kind of irks me is the sakura blossoms. They seem out of place.
"Very whimsical and amusing. I like the contrast in colors between Naruto and the room. Its basically like the show; he always stands out no matter what situation he is in.
"Very impressive wallpaper. It reminds me of the Da Vinci Code I don't know why. I really like the aged canvas/paint effect. And it's widescreen to boot ^_^" View

"Awesome wallpaper. Although I haven't seen much of Naruto, I do know the character's personalities well enough to get a good chuckle out of this one. Good job." View

"Thanks you guys for all your comments & criticisms. This was my first wallpaper and I'm glad it was accepted. I forgot to mention in the description but I'd like to thank everyone in Session Zero who helped me out with this.

I had already extracted it, vectored it, and posted it to multiple sites so you could have saved yourself some trouble. A pretty generic wallpaper, just a scan a logo and some light brushwork. I've had much better wallpapers refused than this one, so I'm seriously starting to wonder just exactly what whoever decides which wallpapers to post, is looking for in a wallpaper. If it's one of your first then by all means keep working for it, but if you are experianced than you need to come up with some better inspiration.
As I said above this is my first wallpaper. A couple of weeks after I reworked the scan, I saw that someone else had done it too, along with four other people in my knowledge who had also claimed they fixed up the scan too so that did piss me off. Thanks for looking at my wall anyways.
