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.
Netherless, this scan, no wait, wallpaper is made of pure awesomeness. And Haruhi's smirk + ranger Nagato makes it gold. Favorite, of course." View

"Ha. Congrats on fulfilling your 'Highlighted' dream ;f That means that the mimic walls are still the hit. Hmm. I'm looking at your paper-o-make, and I just remembered, I ought to learn that freaking Illustrator someday. Btw. what about our planned-from-june collab? ;f
Ah yes. As a fan of all mimicing, parodying etc. I'M GIVING A FAV, which is a rarity ;p." View

"Oooh, Mamimi :D
This wall has got something intruguing, attracting, though I can't say what. Good retro-bg, nicely cleaned screencaps etc. Nice touch on the different-sized rectangles and I also the 'origin' of the wall, which you described. And, um, I like the texture-less version even more.
"Now this one I love. Flawless vector, sexy atmosphere and School Rumble :D Thanks!" View

as you can see, the hair is supposed to cover the eyes and eyebrows, but you have the outline layer over that. so maybe you want to go back and fill in a top layer of the hair properly.
"I totally dig the bg, though the vector looks like it was made with no curves, but reaaally short straight lines. It is jammed and sloppy. Plus, it's too blurred. Everything else is well-planned, and the white outline is a nice touch." View

"Great! You don't see Dokuro-chan walls often nowadays. It's made from the opening sequence, isn't it? Looks simple, but at the same time, it has this 'Gankutsuou-ish' look (something I was working on recently), probably because of the textures. Ah yes, the shadow Dokuro-chan is casting could've been better.
Despite this one thing, thanks kindly for this one and +fav." View

Hm. Seems that just after I'll finish the project I'm on now (4-5 hours from now, I think), I must learn how to use Illustrator ;d
Well, that's it. It is really great. +fav of course." View

I think keeping some of the motion lines/blur would've been a cool way to keep the dynamic feel of the shot
No, no ;d I forgot to mention, t'was an idea from the beginning to keep it more static... like a... um... bullet time after Asuka's nuclear kick? Yup, that would be it ;d Plus, the blur lines in the source picture weren't so realistic to me. As a side note, they made the vectoring a bit harder, but helped to get that unique style (notice how only PenPen, who hadn't any blur lines around himself, has almost perfect (well, maybe too thick sometimes) outlines.
Too bad that so many walls were accepted at once, so only several people will see this (I wouldn't, but I noticed a change in my paper quantity) ;d" View
