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.
So I finally find a forum thread that I wanna post at and it won't let me. It'll let electricbunny post a few minutes ago but for me? Oh no... This system has a personal vendetta against me. Make an anime on that! Computers against one man.. I'd watch
"I saw the paper on the latest wallpapers and i liked the darkness. I did not expect a Pokemon in it. I think it was a pretty good choice of Pokemon, Cubone (to me) always looked darker and badass. The way you treated the colors was pretty interesting. I like the black on the forefront. I do have to say that it doesn't look like Cubone is looking at the light in the sky although it probably should. Other than that. Great paper." View

"I want to say that I have seen many gundam walls and this one is in my top 5. The detail is incredible. The fact you added the smoke and the air looks like its burning hot. Really great. Hope you spend another week and a half making another one definitely making it one of favs. Thank you for not putting text all over it, i think it works well without it. The one thing is that the flowers shouldn't be that big since they would have to be mutated underground flowers to be the size of a mecha. Other than that pretty good." View

"It is hard to get something simple to be great and unique but i think you have done it. I like the touch of the butterfly. The bright blue and then the dark background make great contrast. Good job. Although the top feels a little unbalanced. Maybe make the flame bigger or move it up a little. Just a suggestion." View

"It is a really good idea to have sakura with an ipod. it looks like an actual ipod ad. I don't know about the staff being left pink but i guess it makes it more original and better identifier for card captors. oh i hate ipods so this is a true compliment on the work you put on this piece." View

"This is a really nice one. I think the way you combined the red and oranges give it this very realistic fire looking piece. Also putting fury over the japanese gives it a better reach for those people that don't read jap." View

"I really like the red tint and how you fix the scan and the background is really amazing but the tilted dragon strike text is not working well as a whole with your composition. I think if you wouldn't have tilt it it woudl have been better or maybe put it in a different location or not put it at all maybe just write Full Metal Alchemist. dragon strike could be just the name of your wall. SOmetimes it is not neccessary to put the name of the artwork on the artwork it takes from greatness of it. But overall it is a very nice wall." View

"The combinations of grays and blacks are well balanced. I really like the position of renji and rukia and the words on top are a nice touch. It implies sadness and darkness and that is how i like my wallpapers to look like so good job." View

"I am using this wall as my background. I fix some of the words myself and I had to crop it to fix my widescreen resolution. The words could be clearer and the shadows a little more defined. Zangetsu is a very cool character and I would love to see more walls of him. Maybe you can design different styles from the raw picture that you have and then post them. Just a suggestion though."
