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.
"It's a fun wallpaper, but then I think using a serious looking Ichigo in a suit and black tie doesn't go well with the fun and pop design you came up with. Zangetsu is probably not a happy person either. Bring in Orihime or his sisters." View

"I like it. I think you've done a nice job making the background, but at the same time, there's nothing extraordinary about it. Maybe you could come up with a more interesting composition since you have the skills to do a great looking wallpaper. I look forward to more from you." View

"The logo + title combination dominates the picture more than Saber does, which makes this a difficult piece to look at. I did like the fact that the background is less detailed than your foreground. Depth usually isn't applied in many wallpapers around, so kudos for that. Bring out the fire more - it looks a bit dull right now. Make it more alive, than just a wall-like item in the wall." View

"This is certainly the most creative wallpaper I've seen since my last visit (long time ago...). You bring out the moe side of Saber perfectly in this piece! Great style, great font choice. You might consider the idea of putting Taiga running along with her too haha." View

"The "Marquis de Sade" font is standing out, and I don't think that's helping your wallpaper. While I like your composition, the piece seems flat with no signs of "depth" - like Nao is at the same distance with the wall and the rose. I also think you shouldn't put the title of the wall flat out in the center of your wall." View

"Wow, that is a nice looking piece, very well done. This what the kind of painting Hiroki should have done in the anime (and not that weird angel painting), but I guess painting something like this would mean he wants both of the girls. Anyway, I thought the flower texture blended very well with Elis, but Kiri's dress just didn't work with her flower. I've always thought of Kiri's image color as orange though (and not this lemon mix). Hmmm, not sure how that'd turn out. Anyway, love it, love it, hope to see more of your work!" View

"I agree with the first commenter. You just have this big flower in the middle of the piece. If this is a Athrun x Cagalli wallpaper, the flower is obviously not for Cagalli now, is it?
At some points, the palm trees look too cut out, especially the one next to Cagalli. I think you could bring out some texture in the palm trees.
Another awkward point is - Cagalli has no shadow, yet the tree next to her does." View

"I like your style, and I like the photographic elements (in and out of focus) in this picture. This was the type of wallpaper I envisioned when I saw the original picture in Fate/Hollow Ataraxia game. The 'Dien' placement is kind of awkward in my opinion though.
Have you tried making Saber the same coloring and style as your background? I wonder if that would look better." View

"The depth/angle of this picture looks awkward. The style of the scan does not fit with the rest of the picture - it's standing out. The individual aspects are fine, but when they are put together, they don't connect with each other." View

"Very, very impressive work. Very nice choice of scan to compose around, especially having her posture and facial expression behind light. I wished the swords played more of a role in this piece. Other than the lighting though, I don't see enough contrast in this wall." View

"Kudos on building the background from the basic concepts of the original CG image. But what is that big rectangular thing you occupied with a black-white gradient? A window? It's big and gets a lot of attention, and I don't know what it is." View

Hmm I do think it needs to a bit darker, because all the red makes a bit brighter than you might expect." View

"The storm is coming, yet she is smiling. I don't think this is the right scan to work with if 'impending danger' is the image you want to convey us. This particular Saber scan needs a more serene background to go with. Plus, you made every color in this wallpaper all too similar that it just seems like Saber is being drowned by all this blue."

"Actually, unlike the guy above, the Earth being on one side and Lacus being on the other make them fight with each other - it's as if there are two focus points dragging attention. I suggest either situate them both in the center and fade out the Earth with a little creativity into the background." View

I think you could've also made the "air blades" a bit more transparent." View
