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.
"Hi Angel-Chan,
the elements you are using are quiet good, that are the bg and the character.
The bg seems to be a photo so it's maybe quiet difficult to fit in the char.
But - as damoser says - you have to clean the character first.
Maybe you can lay a course or a filter over the bg to change the colour.
In the way it is shown the red tentacles don't fit.
carry on ^_^

Excellent mood catching.

"Very very interesting what you did.
I've read the other suggestions and want to ask you why you want to reflect the title.
If you want to set in the title above (in the whitw area), you have no place for that at the bottom, if you want to reflect it like it would be in reality.
Another thing are the stalks of the roses, they look as if they are 'on air'.
If that is not what you wanna going for, you maybe should low the resolution downwards.
But this would be a small detail in your good concept.

"Hi Angel-chan,
you sent me a message with a link to this wall in the session gallery.
Sorry but i had little time.
Now i see that your wall is in the gallery - GREAT.
It's the first time i see the original scan with which you worked,
and i say once again - GREAT - what you did with it.
The clouds are very fluffy and you were able to catch the mood.
You did it once again - Congratulations !!

"Very good idea what you did with the bg.
Don't know how it looks if you put the tendrils a little bit more to the inside, maybe it helps to fill the bg or / and try to extend them (if they not blurry).
Especially at the bottom you don't see the tendrils if you use it for your desktop.
Carry on ^_^" View

"I think its a little bit too simple for a wall,
the front should be fit to rhebackground, and - although you put in a nice sky - it has nothing to do with the characters, in my mind the chars are sitting on a flying carpet.
If you are using a dark or half-dark bg, you should remove the white outlines of the chars, an exception would be a glimmer of sun-rays or something like that.
As well you can add a (sensible) title to fill the bg.
Carry on" View

"Very lovely,
although the bg seems to be a little bit empty on first sight,
filling it, maybe disturbes the whole composition.
The only thing i think about is to add some grass at the feet of the character (i haven't seen the other version), so that the outlines of the shoes down can not be seen.
Maybe you should fill the curves of the tendrils in the corners.
If you will use a paper text, perhaps the bg must fit to it, for example with a crumple effect.
You have to experiment with it." View

"Hi Angel-chan,
for me the clouds look very good and you have lightened the scene.
Maybe you can add a little golden course over the street scene, to fit the colour of the scene to the colour of the sunshine.
For the shadows: can't give good advice because it's very difficult. I would try to make them by watching the original shadows of the street people, bridge and the houses above the railway.
All in all it looks a lot better than the last version and i'm sure it will be successful." View

"Hi Angel-chan,
it's pity not to see the other versions, i had a look for them in the session-zero topics, but they were not available, so i want to forget any possible comparisons and only talk about this one.
In my opinion the clouds ends to much abruptly up in the sky (in the front of the cloudbank, where the Ishadow is), if you compare it to reality, its a little bit softer because atmosphere is semi.
On the left you put in a nightsky 'more or less', but this can only be:
when the sun is below the zenit of earth, the rays of sun only meets clouds - and not the street scene in your wall "lets say 4 o'clock when you are standing in the middle of the clock".
In this case the colours of clouds and nightsky are allright, but not the shadows of the houses! 'Cause their shadows look like afternoon "lets say 2 o'clock".
[hope you know what i mean, it's hard to explain physical problems]
I think the different insolations of the shadows is the biggest problem. Maybe you change the shadows of houses - they really could not have one - or change the course of the sky - which might be easier. As a result of the second method you can lighten the street scene.
I remember your first version about this wp, it was summer mood - now it looks like autmn -
is thist really that what you wanted?
Another problem could be the blur inside the houses, i guess i've seen them more clearly in an older version.
Hope this will help a little bit and i'm eagerly waiting for your revision

"Very simple and effectful.
But you should change some things.
you must use a resolution 1024x768, and the white lines and outside are not clear.
To fill the bg you maybe can use more butterflies or create more balls, as there are on the right." View

"Sometimes it's bad that the comparison to the version before can't be seen.
did you change the colours of the sky?
All in all i have to say that your idea is very good.
When you are combining all angles, it can be very hard.
I think the red outlines of the characters should glimmer - a little bit softer outside.
As i said try to diffuse the shadows of the chars,
in this way it looks as if the grass has no height.
So, as Luna says - whats essential for the chars (standing in front of that sunset, so they should be more dark) you have to do with the flowers too.

Am i right that you're working with the scan of the char? Of course i don't know the quality of the scan, if it is bad you maybe should rework some outlines.
Although i like your wall, it's very harmonic." View

"Hi Angel-chan,
this is a nice arrangement you made, i like the sky, it has a special lightning.
but i think you have to rework the grass, especially in the front,
you can see the beginning of the stalk and there is a great difference to the other grass.
on the horizon the grass is done well.
Maybe another problem are the shadows of the characters and flowers, they are too clear.
I've seen a wallpaper here,
hmm... i think the longer the grass - the shadow has to be more diffuse too.

i think its a very good idea, you should try to integrate the background in the melt.
The bg is interesting too, but in that way you depict it, there are two different planes which don't intersect.
On the character there seems to be moiree (on the cloth).
