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.
"It truly captures the mood of Mushishi. I really like the concept of the floating land and placing the title underneath it. I have to say that the vines came out really good. Thanks so much for your labour of love shiningdays! we love your work!" View
How.. Why.. Nomiya

"Sigh! Nomiya and Yamada. A very famous scene from the anime and I am glad that you chose to wall it. I like the over all texture of the background... like matted paint. You did good in cleaning and vectoring the characters. I just feel that the colors could be brighter. Good work." View

"You must have done quite a lot of work from that scan and I must say that it was excellent work. I like the texture of the wallpaper and the "blueness" of it all. Its actually cool that you chose this scan because the perspective really is unique. Mushishi definitely a fave." View

Falling Away With You

"Nice choice of picture to feature on a wallpaper. Action walls are sometimes pretty hard to pull of especially falling ones. Great job on enhancing the falling effect. The abstract affect around the picture is quite cool and the color you picked compliment each other well (i love blue and purple shades). I would have been okay with the green streaks above the text. Cool wallpaper." View

"I love the bright colors and the clouds are well done cloud AC. The bordered version was okay but with this wall the borderless version seems to fit nicer. You chose a very pretty image to use. It goes rather well with the cloud background. I do see what mblack is saying in that there is something missing. I dunno.. birds or something I guess but I do like it the way it is!" View

Akira doesn't get featured in wallpapers that often and this is surely one of the best I have seen. " View

As I have said before I think you did a great job in the vector work of Sasuke. And his facial expression is really striking which captures your attention so you picked a really good image. The background is pretty simple but it goes with the vector. " View
