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.
"I really like this wall, alot. Touche my friend :) Very nice feel, simple yet sweet.

"Hmm i think the idea is good, but its lacking in effects and lighting which is really weighing this wallpaper down. Id say that a dark background would fit it better and putting the focus more on Rukia and Ichigo" View

"Oh wow, this one better not get overlooked. Great re-working of the original scan, working with screenshots is a PAIN. I really like the mood you were able to establish with this, and the detail and crispness is wonderful. A+

"Not bad, but since its sunny shouldnt it be more vibrant? Id say its very bland right now, all you need to do is add some contrast. Easy way to change that is to mess with the curves in photoshop (Ctrl+M)
"Honestly, this is almost a and A+ -S rank worthy pic, but the characters really just take alot away from the wall. I love everything else tho SORRY :(. I really reccomend doing a less simplistic, or just better vector since the main focal points are the characters and baloons.
"Wow, *gasps* very impressive painting job done here. The overall Idea of the wall is a lil over-done, but that amazing character quality done by you makes up for that completely!
"Pretty sweet digital painting :) I like the characters alot, and the trees are a pretty cool idea but the pedals have that 'photoshop brush' feel which kinda irks me. Otherwise its pretty cool gj ;)" View
"Honestly, i think you are ruining your magnificent vector withe the photoshop effects, like the outer glow you have on her, it kinda works on the butterflies but definatly not on her.
"Amazing vector yet again, the thumbnail really does no justice here :) I don't like the characters face, mainly the scan used i guess. otherwise its a great work you got here :)" View

"Dang otaku :) I am very glad to see your walls improving, I do feel that this wall could have been re-worked a little bit and given it alot better feel in the end but overall I really like it!:) if you ever have any questions just PM me :)
"Im glad to see that other byousoku 5cm walls are finally starting to be made! :) and a mighty nice one might I add. I do agree with some other comments tho, I would suggest not having the BG SO BLURRY but it still needs burr for depth perception. maybe half as much as you have right now?
"Yeah man, this is too low quality to be accepted ill save you the time. Its a good concept and pic. but sadly just blurring it wont fix the problem. I would attempt vectoring and if not perhaps just rebuilding it in Photoshop even.

"Hey, I like this project you have going here, it has good composition and I like it. but the colors and intensity seem a little washed out to me. Since I like it, I went ahead and messed with it for 2min and I strongly recommend copying the entire picture and going to Filter>blur>Gaussian blur and doing that at a good level till you feel necessary. What this fixes is the grainy problem you have going on with your characters. the Front character especially, she has Green and Red pixels in her hair that stand out to me and make the quality look a lot lower. Also, make the 2nd layer you created (with the Gaussian blur) change the filter from normal to overlay (or if you like multiply better go ahead) and set the opacity at whatever you want between 30% and 60% I chose 48% :) well I hope you at least try what I have instructed here :) if you have any questions just PM or comment my page!
"Hmm honestly, i like the idea but artistically the composition and balance are off to me. Way too much clutter and heavy colors on one spot in the left side of the image. Where the right side has ALOT of empty space and some black. Also, I dont like how the colors are so heavily placed on haruhi i duno just some things to think about :) Great vector, and awesome idea thats the reason why i tell you things that irk me so that it can become greater than it already is :)
