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.
"Hm...I like the background alot...aside from the really fake looking stars XD. but...don't really like the scan itself...it's unclear...and it doesn't really fit in the wall well, but you did a good job in adding a reflection, that I like very much.
"AAAAAh, i've always wanted to make a wall, and the original scan of this was my first attempt...I failed off course XD
I like what you did to Allen...but he feel separate from the wall...Rather than make him standing out, you should've blend him into the background, like..making his side darker than the other side, ot change the background picture.
it still looks nice though, just not awesome =\" View

"He looks too old to be TK from digimon 1 anyways XD
Did you draw this yourself? It looks really good, and the coloring is the style I like =3
though, one note, the bird right infront of TK, it's left wing looks abit weird. And feathers don't usually bend so much! and TK's waist is too small! =P
"It would look even better, in my opinion, if you covered more of him in the darkness.
Other than that, not much to say, because I do like the concept, and I like how you executed it, too. Though, I find the middle two chains pretty unneccesary, there.
"In my opinion, the concept is awesome, but I don't like the flower's fluidacy around its edges, I'd prefer it sunk into the background, or if you wanted it to look like it's above the wall, you should've add some stuff around the flower =3. The "violator" could also do some work in placement/font/shade/etc. It looks abit plain standing in the middle of nowhere _(x x_)" View

"32? I don't watch Nana, so I won't know, but is that when she's dumped? =o
Anyhow...this wall has some really nice parts...and some...not so nice parts. I really like how you did Hachi's face, it looks stylish ~3~ but..
- didn't like the connection between shoulder and neck, looks too vague, should have at least add a thin line between to distinguish each
- the connection between neck, head, and hair (right side) sometimes look too sharp, and sometimes too blurry.
- you see the end of the hair on the left side? looks too... pointy, shoudl have made it spread a little bit, or look like hair, I like the top, though.
(sorry, I usually list out the bad points =( I'm a mean person)
On the contrary, I like the background very much, though if the patterns don't blend downward on the left side, and actually overlap Hachi (like it does on the right side) it would look better, in my opinion.
"Ah, I like the design, very stylish, and the emptiness isn't at all empty! that's awesome =O
but, the close up of Lulu looks...pixelateed and blurry in comparison to the rest of the wall, it would probably have a better effect if he was sharper, especially around his face and items on his clothing, such as the buttons.
"O_o they've licensed Haruhi? rofl, that's going to be interesting...
hm...the wall's interesting,too, i like how you edited the novel scan, and the erie light looks awesome, but on a closer inspection, it looks abit.....weird, and a bit too symetical, i'd personally prefer it to be a bit more erratic.
"I've personally disliked the sketchy style, but in terms of a well made wall, this one is definite one beyond well made. THe placement and recreation of the giant iron was great. And you're really great at vectoring, now that I've looked at the scan O_ob
"O_O it looks really good, and almost as if he's appearing out of the scoll/thingy in the back, if not for the outlines.
hm...it really is stylish, and though it looks a bit unproportional, its design is superb, i really like it, now all you need is to let me steal this.
Oh, and the birds are cool, but i couldn't see them at first =o
"It looks pretty good, considering the size of the original screenshot. =o but there are some blurry parts.
and it's from Jingai Makyou, a H-game by Nitroplus (same company that made Demonbane), and not from Demonbane. If I remember right, she's a cyborg." View

"=O
*mouth stays wide open for a few more minutes*
it's looking real nice, thought I don't like how you let the hair overlap part of the left eye but let the right eye overlap the hair.
other than that, i find i really fancy and cool looking X_X stylish!
but, since I'm an a**, i can only say negative comments
- if you put in falling snow, i think you can afford to make the surroundings a bit more "snowy," take the black space for example, you can add some snow that fades into the darkness, leaving the center empty, instead of leaving those black spaces there
- never heard of millenium princess =P
- the font is fine~ it's looks awesome, in fact.
"- Like the style of the wall and its execution
- the words on the sides should be less visible, and more chaotic and rough, in my opinion =D
- the Shin/Nana isn't really necessary, in fact, I think it lowers the quality of the wall by disrupting the theme.
- Shin looks awesome XD
"Oh, the idea is nice, and it's really well made =D
- one blunder (imo) - it might've looked better without that many outlines (of the tiles in the second scan)
- nice, rainy scenery
- Rei doesn't really fit in well enough, it's a bit too sharp and rough compared to the rest of the wall
- reeeeally love how you did the scenery
- did i say your scenery was awesome yet?
- the wall is smoooth XD *touches*
- I'm not sure what that helix extending from the bottom left is supposed to represent...but shouldn't it be at least a bit thicker?
- i like the addition of the moon...but the placement seems outfitting, it might also look better if it was either lighter and not red, or bigger and lighter.
- it just looks awesome +D
- hm...my only complain is that you can't exactly see Cheza...except for her head and legs..unless you look carefully...
When I first saw the wall, I think it looked fantastic...but...on closer inspection, the upper portion of the wall looks pixelated, and really doesn't blend with the background...while the bottom still looks awesome, the combination of several layers on the top portion has made it blurry.
but the concept is awesome, though Yuna looks pretty weird XD
"Hm...it's hard to say, since you didn't really edit anything in or out. But the brushes look awsome, and if making the eyes the center of focus is your goal, then you absolutely have done it... can't reallly say much about this wall :I Not that I'm saying it's simple and bad, but just that this wall has less territory to exploit.
+fav, these kinds of walls are my favourite, because it can often resemble the original picture alot, but with adjustments that make the picture look much better.
-love the effects, and the blurring in certain parts is perfect >_<b
-kamui = +1000 pts. XD
-the shading is fine too
-prefer the X out of the wall myself, but it looks fine with OR without it
Hm...I still don't get why vector walls always excel scenic walls here, I think the scenic walls are awesome +O
hm...finally, something i can batter with my words >X)
-what's with the pentagons? i don't think they help show the greatness of the wall :O
-pidgeons and sakura petals! XD nice touch (i think)
-should've done more to bring out the right side of the wall, where the scan is! cause..it's beautiful! XD
well, walls lately are so awesome, i can't say anything about them! though, the wall might look better if the background is slightly less contrasting to haseo-grunty
