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.
"I like the vectors, very neat
though i must say the tree looks weird
i mean, the blossoms are very realistic and detailed but the tree is absolutely not realistic, so it kinda bothers me
plus, at the top, there's just too many blossoms so they look crowded
and if they go over their head then maybe there should be a shadow on the heads...
but the blurry background is just LUUUUUV
anyway, i see how much effort you put in it so im faving it ;)" View

"Rofl!
what happened to poor haruhi!
i totally love this wallpaper, i love how you changed the colours, looks warmer
my only complaint would be... the text, i think it's too noticeable... or i dont know how to say...
anyway, great job driving me to tears (i mean tears of laughter)
and a fave :)" View

"I hope it won't sound mean, because it's actually an opposite thing
it's too good for an anime style
it's very very well painted, looks like an oil painting even
your technique is great, you're very skilled
too bad i don't like painted anime stuff...]
anyways, let's forget that it's anime and concentrate on the work itself
i adore the pinky-orange part, it's very awesome
painting is soft, "building" design is strong and the birds are adorable
even though i dont like the way the character looks [nothing personal, just my taste ;)] i must say it's nicely designed, the haircut, the costume, just cool
but the left part... i don't know, it's just that green colour... i think it's too... keen, i mean the way it goes from purple to green
maybe use some different shade of green, i don't know, more of blue
anyway, it's a GREAT work and i'm faving it :)" View

"That's a really nice wallpaper
i love the colours, the text on the characters, the textures and every shape in particular
but when it comes to composition... i'm not sure
the lowest object is symmetrical but the characters are not
i think it would look better if there was a vivid orange circle under man's chin like the one over woman's head, or i don't know...
but anyway, good job ;)" View

i like the whole idea, but to be honest i dont think earth's nature can control the sun and the moon :D
i like how you turned the moon into some kind of an art-nouveau frame :D
and i love the character design of mother nature XD she reminds me of karren from code geass somehow ^_^'
well dont know what else to say, awesome wallpaper and a favourite :)" View

darn, i adore black and white stuff with something red in it :D
did you vector the character? because if you did, i must say you did a great job
birds look really nice, and they're not ruining the whole composition as in many other birdy wallpapers :x
the background completely fits the rest of the wallpaper, not too blury, not too sharp
all in all great wallpaper, and favourite :)" View

you feel the atmoshpere of the scan and you are able to make it work for you :)
i told you million times how i feel about your vectoring and i think theres no need to telll you how much i like your painting :)
great job, sister aisha, favourite :)" View

"Nice job :)
though i must say that the vectoring is a bit wobbly, and lines do not have a constant thickness
and i also think there should have been at least a little shadow on the curtain since matsuri is standing in front of it
the font you used looks a bit cheap, i think you should have used something more... official...i dont know how to say but hope you understand me :D
still, i really like the idea of the wallpaper ;)" View

"Well i'm sorry if i sound rude, but this wallpaper is absolutely meaningless
you know, there's such thing in art as warm and col colours
the vector you used [so as the original scan] is all made in the warm pallette
and that's the word we can use for haruhi's expression too, can't we?
but the wallpaper you made is cold-coloured, which is not really mixing with the warm expression of haruhi's face, even though you changed the colour scheme to colder colours
flying roses look bizarre to me, to be honest i thought it's some kind of strawberry stickers on the window :D
symmetrical curtain is not really what we can see in real life, i mean in this situation it's clear that it's windy and it's just impossible to get an absolute symmetry with one wind
and it's shape is too simplistic for haruhi's complicated design
good job on the vector Margalet, btw :)
it's a nice wall, but it could have a better idea" View

"Vector is nice :)
cant say the same about the wall though
theres too much of a free space, and i DO mean free, composition is not well thought-out
the guy should have took more space
the background looks flat and... whats the ooposite word for deep ^_^'
all the objects have little shades, which actually creates the flatness, and a blurred-vector look
those vivid spots in the sky stand out too much, if you wanted to focus on the character and blur the rest, you shouldnt have skipped them
and the birds look like some random shapes, they dont have to be detailed but the silhouette should be clearer
all in all, not one of your bests" View

vectoring is not as neat as i could be, but its nice concidering the scan you worked with
background is completely empty and meaningless too me, and its hard to understand the angle unless you look at the scan
anyway, this one is way better than most of the recent walls
good job :)" View
