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.
@Deer: Too busy. It's not fair cause I haven't had any time to spend on the computer until now =S. But thank you for wishing me luck, I need it. How are you though?
@Super: I downloaded a demo for it on my PS3, it's creepy but that's what makes it good ;P. It even got a 8.5 on Gamespot./@Deer: Easier to say than to do.. sadly =( I have to do a radio show later and do a report.
"Impressive... I must admit it wowed me as I saw those details all vectored. o.o Everything went well except I think is the white as the highlight for the hair because it kind of stands out too much in my opinion. ^^" It might be because of how huge and yet flowy it is. Well anyways besides that this is really nice. You move the direction of the flowers and blurred the one close up (which I should really start doing for close-ups). Really nice yoru-chan though that's a lot of dedication you do for all your friends. I still try to stay with giving indiviual gift lol, makes it harder on me.

"I do see some over smudged areas or odd things such as the grasses. The sky is quite unrealistic (thought it's anime after all XD). Well what I mean is too realism I guess. I was really hoping for not those type of galaxy stars you see in outer space, but the typical night sky you see from down here on earth. I gotta admit it's quite dark comparing to the scan (did you clean the scan btw? o.o") The repeated trees yeah didn't really go so well (sorry), but you did really nice in making one.
One the goof side I think I really loved how the stones turned out here. Clouds are done really well compared to mine especially. Well done on the dirt and mossish grass and I think all it needed was a burn tool one some areas and that would've done it. Though still very creative. The mountain I guess was so-so and so is the water (because you did way better than I ever could T_T)
Actually I did wanted to make a wallpaper out of that scan too, but at least since I never started it I'm not so crushed. lol! Yes, it's like my favorite anime series thanks to my darn (boy)friend. XD Well done for your first time and keep it up! It isn't that bad, but a really good start I must admit. ;)" View

"I think the color of Nunnally with the background was a little off in my opinion. Though I really liked how they both turned out because of how the shade of the back just collaborate well. I did like how you enhanced Nunally's color too and added sakuras. I do recall seeing a scan of that before too and yeah the sakuras were included in it. Nice ide especially I really love the waves. ;)" View

"Just perfect~ I knew someone out there could just enchance that screenshot into a soft shading kind of way glow for them. :o This really gave me a good impression of you. The often star tutorial you used was nice, but I think the outer glow shouldn't have been blue jay eggs color. It should blend with the gradient of the sky its on. I definately love the four gradient choice here because it gave it more of a romantic feeling and such a lovely blend especially that I couldn't think of. The clouds went well, but mainly the vector of Kira & Lacus did the job. Well done and love to see mroe from you. ;)" View

No one has ever made new wallpaper for Yami no Matsuei for a long time I think and this is the best one. The scenery was done lovely and you've captured this scenery here. Everything just went perfectly. Masterpiece I'd say and this is something you barely see. Flawless to my eyes! ^^" View

I wish I could fave it, but it's not my style. I guess I'm not so J-pop style, but music is another story. =)

I love the vector, smooth and straighter as you. XD You got Kira's arm perfect I think in here. =D You only took 25 hrs while the longest for me is still like 50 or 60hrs. x_x
"Splendid! This is something that only comes from you. Your style of colouring and using just soft light to blend those shades together is something original from the world of vector. Even I don't do something like this because it's too difficult, but you get it perfectly. :o
The painting really went well especially I think you painted the hair it looks like. All your painting shading and the things you choose just perfectly captures this scenery on a wallpaper.
The only problem I think is the moon didn't go so well. I think it needs some areas darken because there's craters on the moon." View
