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.
Really hawt wallpaper, Sumiru! :D I first saw it on LJ of course~ I think this is your best one so far – the colours are really dark yet you can tell exactly what's going on, and the glowy eye is a really nice focal point. And of course the text is a nice touch, I'm surprised anyone reads my silly keywords xD (It came from a song by the Silversun Pickups if you were curious) Great work, it reminds me that I should make a new wall too!"

"TRAUMA CENTER! \o/ Aw man, I love you for making the first TC wall and for doing such a good job. The medical drama feel (especially in the vein of House) definitely comes across well, I love the lighting~ And it's great how you got the characters from the next games in there too! I can see them having a TV series and this being the ad for it xD Great work!" View

The whole thing is so shiny and awesome-looking, for lack of a better term xD I think it's better without the blur on the chibis actually, it makes them look less like background props (like the cards) and more like main characters~ Anyway, great work, I look forward to seeing more wallpapers from you!"

"Wow! This is definitely bright and fun to look at :3 The details you put in are quite nice. I'm just nitpicking here:
- The text seems a little plain, considering how fun and decorated the wall as a whole is. Try visiting dafont.com for lots of cool fonts to make it even better. As for the placement, if the text was aligned along her shoulder, the composition would be more balanced.
- I also think the image itself would stand out more if you put the girl (I forget her name, whoops xD) above the rounded boxes.
A few little fixes, and you'll have an even greater wall :3" View

"I agree with the others; this has the potential to be such an awesome wallpaper, so may I suggest a few improvements?
- I like the placement of the image, but the quality is a bit lacking. Did you take a screenshot? I suggest vectoring it. If you haven't done so before, there are lots of tutorials around to help you with that.
- The background would look so much more interesting if you added some textures, brushes and/or text. Given the title of the wallpaper, maybe some fire textures and a fitting font would work well~
I hope that helps you, and don't get me wrong, it's a great start; with a little more work, you could have one of the best walls out there!" View

"It's looking spiffy so far! The extraction and the colouring on the image are both really great. I noticed a few things, though:
- The background is a tad too sparkly and has too many planets. I don't have a problem with how they're placed, it's just that they take attention away from KOS-MOS, the main focus. You can either decrease the transparency on the planets or take them out altogether to avoid this.
- The beam of light behind KOS-MOS is pretty~ Just, the horizontal beam isn't blended like the diagonal beams, so it doesn't quite match. Just blend that out and it'll look much better.
- The type... Because you put it between her legs, it takes the attention away from the rest of her body. You can put it to either side of KOS-MOS or make it bigger and space it out more over the middle of her legs.
"Wow, I just love the style of this wall. I like how the "floor" has some perspective, so when you look across the wall, despite it being very simple, you can still notice details. Especially on the right side, the placement of the text is just so cool *____* I would totally use this wallpaper if I actually knew Air Gear, lawl, but a +fav will have to suffice! Great work :)" View
