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.
yea, although Sousei no Aquarion was abit... >_>', i liked the ending art alot, too bad It's pretty hard to find the other scans (at least i don't think they're on AP and a few other graphics sites)
I like the blending of the pillars and the scan itself, the blurring did not feel too excessive and was perfect in my opinion, though I think keeping the color in the background (not the wall, i mean the layer directly above or below the pillar layer, i believe, not sure...) would be better, as I really find that burn part on the left abit...out of place...;P
"Weh, the matching up was awesome, don't mind about it ;)
This wall has alot of obstruction, no no no, i mean it in a good way, it makes the wall...fit the theme "faded memories", chaotic, uncertain, yet in my opinion also quite calm (fits Vince ;) i like it.
Though, the words could be placed in areas that would be better views or somewhere that doesn't obstruct the main outlook.
Okama 8D, but seriously, i can't comment on it if you don't :P" View

"YOSH! XD
ok, i like the concept and the vectoring...but there seems to be abit of inconsistency between the Wolf's rain scan and Mucha's artwork. Maybe abit noise could fix it? It's areally good concept, but in order to full utilize this i think you need to fuse the scan and the background better, and the fonts seem abit too clear in comparison to the wall itself
"Hm...city again =D
anyways...what does the 02 signify? do explain, and what'swith the Sh*t!? just cover it then! don't put it in XD
i like your vectoring, though a few parts seem abit unnatural.
"Nice concept, but the negatives should be all montoned, right? XD anyways, it's pretty good, there are little bits where it looks unnatural, but it's really good^_^

"Hahaha, the first thought i got was "wait, you can post photos here?" . XD it looked real enough to confuse me for a moment :P
I don't know if the idea is copied or not, sincerely, i don't think it matters, since the quality and the cging is top class imo :P
You put in a lot fo detail, like the shading from the fan, and the wood. The lotus leaves look fine imo :P
Hm...you sure you didn't confuse a real fan with your wall? XD Just kidding! it's so real looking XD
i really like it, it's pretty good, but the re-cging is abit shady in my opinion, the clouds on the top-left seem abit....too dotty, maybe if you smooth if out they will look better?
other than that....i just feel like eating a lot...i hope you guys meet again..." View

"Lol ^
*ahem* anyways...
XD from the wall point of view, it looks really good, but, just one thing, if you look at it in thumbnail form, doesn't it look like the sunshine beyond the clouds is abit....gravitated (towards the sword)? Maybe i just don't appreciate Saya's power enough :P but that seemed weird to me
lol, no one is going to say it's low quality, unless they're blind >_> ( no offence)
just one more note: doesn't Saya's sword have those dents that allow blood to slit through to the front of the blade?
ok, maybe another note: is that two people up there?" View

"Hm...very good!( ^_^ )b!
I think the alchemy circle could do some work, as parts of it look vectored, but other parts don't, it's not uniformed enough (imo). However, i really like the lighting, and the font XD (with the full stops too XD)
"Ah...and I was wondering who made this wall! XD you again!!! (you post waaaaaaaaay too many high-quality walls :P)
Your satisfication is justified, this wall is really really really really good >_<
There are ...like a hundred reasons why i like this wall, but the main reasons are:
-Oz!!! >3<
-The montone really brings out the outlines, and the color is not hindering the images themselves too, nice choice!
-I feel shameful for forgetting her name, but i really like her! (I think her name's Lulu..>_< baka baka baka! *smack self*)
-really like the design too, i've never seen the other half of that scan, where did you find it? =3
-actually, there's just one slight thing i'm troubled about: Why does Elmira's face look weird? XD
this is...you make me want to swear XD so awesome!! This is finest ******* FF cactus wall i've ever seen XD
*ahem*
anyways...this is really good! XD
-good scan...lol...lol...ahahaha...omg XD
-nice effects too, like you said, the flare :P
-the dust circles seem abit ...too sharp, maybe blur them a little?
-lol...gotta use this wall now... OMG XD
- i actually like the thumbnail better, the sense of mysticality (word?) was greater when it wasn't as clear :P
- repainted the whole thing..... /_\ you, are ownage.....omg... /_\ give me a few more seconds to ponder the greatness...
- really love the effects >3<, though it might be better if you use a little more indication to show the thumb of the hand holding hte keyblade
- i know most people don't like my opinions, but...but...but...it's SORA! >3<
- ok, before i go rotten i'm gonna add this to favourites and leave :P" View

"Really good design! XD hahaha, like the scribbling alot XD
i have to say, this walls feels flat, which in my opinion is pretty cool 8D, what i mean, is that it feels layered, but compared to the other worlds, this actually feels like a wall, rather than a picture (off course, every wall here in AP is awesome)
"- elliptical, nice~
- i thought it's supposed to be a clover, not sakura XD
- sorry for the useless comments, but i really can't find anything i don't like =P
- nice effects! really like the touch and the shading! but...if i'm right, the shading is abit wrong...in terms of direction
- hm...i wish i had that scan =P
- nice touch on the backboard too
- overall a really good wall, should be an (A) rather than a (B+)!" View

Ahem...anyways, it is quite hard to see the lighting, but I think...i can see abit, you didn't roughen up the scan too , didn't you?
i like it, but I've always wondered: what are those screws on Cloud's shoulder protector there for? O_o
