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.
"This is simple and sweet wallpaper, but something is wrong with the texture you used for the background/clouds. but i do like the color. its a good start, could be a little more complex with your next one though. " View

"Lots of energy, literally shown in this wall. I love this wall as much as I love Sephiroth (yeah wow) and especially the word 'creation' on the bottom. there's something about the background that doesn't fit, I can't really put my finger on it but its missing something. anyways, great job." View

"This is a very captivating and picturesque wall. I've seen this for awhile and never got a chance to comment, but of the several marine-color walls, this is the one that I love the most. I put this on my desktop cause it seems to help me relax. great wall, keep 'em coming!" View

"Though I do love what you did for the cloud background, the black sihoulette seems really flat, as if it were a cardboard cutout. if it were blurred or sponged or something to sorta blend it, I would like it a little better. its just missing that harmony. still a cool looking look. keep up the great work."

"I love the widescreen effect of this wallpaper by having the cut off be lower and raising the horizon line in the background. It has a very antique look to it with the effects. I also love how both subjects blend into the background but there is indication of space with the lighting done to Sephiroth's armor and the arm. The effects done to the lettering are the only thing I would say is sorta tacky with the shine effect going up and down only because there are so many letters, and it seems overdone. I do however like the grainy look of it. the brokeback concept is interesting, but I'd have to say a little disturbing as well o_O " View

"I absolutely love this wallpaper. It's the current wallpaper on my desktop right now and I can't get over how cool it looks. the only thing that bothers me a little is the white cut out in the background of cloud and a metro outline. it seems sorta random and takes away from the whole dyanmic appeal and strong contrast, but it is an interesting touch. and i do agree the white gives the whole thing more balance as opposed to letting the gradient background continue down. anyways, i love this, it totally reminds me of savage garden's cd cover, but way cooler and with a very bold effect. Keep up the amazing work!" View

"This wallpaper is sick. I love that pic from Haibane. the tear running down is a little random, but it still has a cool effect. I especially love the ring that sorta encircles her body. it's interesting cause the original scan is green (i have a scroll of this) and it gave it sort of an aqua-marine feel, and urs seems more rugged and antique-looking, like an old angelic sculpture. very cool, keep up the great work" View
