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.

" 27 layers I thinkDone in Deleter CG Illustrator 2.
I really like how her dress moves, and her hair to me could use some touch ups here and there. The hardest detail I just couldn't get right was her eye. Couldn't get the style right. or rather. Find a style that worked with the flow or the entire picture. The grass could have been better, but it works. I also couldn't for the life of me get her nose right. 2 months ago it looked just fine. But when I looked at it, poof. It didn't and I was compelled to fix it. I'm still somewhat not happy with it. But it works. I really liked the idea of the dandelion...puffy..things floating around (I think thats what they are..name escapes me..) I just like to draw pretty things and somehow I come out wanting to do more realistic things, especially with hair. But overall, I really liked how this turned out. I think I'll color it soon, and give it more of a watercolor touch is PS or Deleter. Not sure..

"During the drawings process, I wasnt really going for perfection but more of a visual style that demonstrated how I felt about the whole situaton. I meant to leave only one eye becuase to me, it looked better then to have two, because the one presented gives off a 'lost in thought' expression. Or maybe a 'so this is how it is..'
thanks for your input too.
Well you are right that it is personal and more then just what you see. I didnt really worry about if people would understand or pick up on anything or take it for what it was. Just posting my work >>;; But on to your reasoning. Inevitable can sometimes be avoided upon agreeing with eachother, but in my situation there were just too many secrets. I too have said goodbye or parted ways with many friends, and as for family lol, they have parted ways themselves. This is actually my first time expressing memories or emotions for a specific purpose. I thank you for your comment very much.
Sorry to hear about your brother. u_u
These days I dont really draw the body, then put clothes over it. I just..draw it lol. I used to use the body as a reference of where clothes should fold or overlap. I wasnt going for perfection I guess >>;; The next I think attributes to her body, because I've never tried to draw a body shape in this style. And as for shading, I used to never shade, but Blending Tortillions are really helpfull. :o look them up sometime. ^^ Thanks so much for your comment as well"

"I'd type a simple bio for it. But I'll paste the specifics from MT since I'm lazy.This has been done for about a week.
The drawings background/story: Recently a good friend and myself have parted ways, and are not longer "friends". Many feelings, thoughts and differences exploded, and nether of us ever had a chance. The occurrence of this particular situation birthed the idea of this drawing. I decided to let it all go, and move on. But still felt some differences on the whole situation. I drew this picture to vent out all the "left overs" but more then that, to for fill a promise I had made many years ago, but never conceived the power or thought for it until now.
Details and Symbolism
-Why a stool? Because only one person can sit on it.
-The bottles represent memories.
-The bottles in the back represent "then", and the bottles in the front represent "now". As you can see, not many memories happen now then they did then. And they wont anymore.
-I think the bottles being fully shaded "then" demonstrate them being "full" or "true". And the bottles as they become closer are half shaded or "half full" represent memories that could have been better.
-Why do I have a shadow? Because it shows that in the end of it all, all I had left and kept was "myself" It could also show that everyone has an ugly "dark" side that maybe no one likes about you and will never tell you. Maybe that not even you know about. And that when its all over and done with, damage included you realize it or you don't.
-The bottles have full shadows because it shows they "could" have been full.
-Only one bottle remains under my chair because its the one I chose to keep. And that one I will not say.
Other information:
I used the usual 0.5 mechanical pencil on this one. Blending tortillions (sticks), and that's all. I wanted to try a different style with body shape and also shading, which a good example would be her shirt and legs. I sketched some lines close together and outlined around them. I've also never once drawn hands in that position, so if they are a bit iffy I'm sorry for that. I think they came out alright though. Overall enjoy to everyone.

"Wow lol. I thought this thread had already been long gone eh oh well. But I do appreciate very much all the good and bad comments. No offense taken on any of what said. The first one, which many seem to bash on, that is in my opinion a sketch. What is drawn is not concrete. I realize and lol, know of the mistakes stated already. These drawings purposes, were practice for me to get back on track with my drawing. So thanks for all the comments, I really do appreciate them. ^_^ For those of you who did not see it, here is the post with 2 new drawingshttp://www.animepaper.net/forum/posts.php?tid=9383

"First one is a pilot. At first she was a catgirl. But the clothing wasnt working. thought of a fluffy collar and poof. This is the end result.Note: Her left arm yes, to me at times seems a bit short. I'm still debating on whether or not to fix it. I am doing more drawings of her though. So I'll always have another chance anyway to improve or fix her ^_^
Second is a ninja based drawing. Her hands yes, are too small, and I plan to update it. I thought about not posting it, but oh well. More shading and such will be done.

"I really like how everything is placed face wise. I would leave her mouth open. I just like the style of it XD And I would not add angel wings. Clothing hmm. I think clothing and such would disturb the line work or character over all. The elf ears I really like. I think you should add body art, like painting or symbols or more over designs. And Maybe some slight jewerly. Like maybe a headress ornament jewel centered from her forehead. I really do like it. Overall sketch work is pretty good. ^_^"View

"Lol. The face paint is a trademark of Reva. In my story I plan to illustrate, she's a queen, but not of of those fancy frilly queens ^^And the guy on the left, Siren, he doesnt really have a big head, just fluffy hair ^_^;
And the girl in the middle, her hair is not small lol, she is wearing a hat, kinda like a jester hat, you just cant see it all."

"Lol, Actually I dont hide hands. I used to be bad at them but who hasnt? lol But on the clothing. No I used no reference for anyof it ^_^ All from my head. The hands in the above image are hidden by either clothing or pose. Which was my original intention not that I couldnt. But I do thank you for commented all in all. Helps and is much appreciated. XDThe one with the girl on the right you commented about. Its face paint she put around her eyes. Or like eye shadow lol."

"Ok first one is 3 of my own original characters I plan on using later on. My hand was stressed and sore at the time, so some things about it I know are messed up. From left to right is Siren, Evanrued and Reva Adune.Siren: yes its a guy. I was going for a different style in his eyes, but my hand would not allow it. The outfit he is wearing is a simple one, I plan on having he and the others under go dramatic or at least better changes. And yes, he has his hand/arm around Evanrued's. Why? Because, it demonstrates his infatuation and bond with her. lol I'm not going to go in to detail of the plot, but you can ask if interested.
Evanrued: I really did not want her eyes to turn out like that. But hey what can I say. I'm still developing her outfit, always seems like its missing something. But the hat, I will say is a deffinate keep. Her over all outfit style will remain, but just a few additions or alterations may be done.
Reva Adune: Well she has many outfits, I kinda just drew one that came to mind, or at least one I knew she would eventurally wear later on. She is Siren's mother.
I may fix things up when my hand isnt bothering me.

Second one is an image a friend did for me. He drew many of his friends as chibi's. And I liked mine so much, that I drew a full sized and detailed version lol.
Here's the chibi version:

Routine Rain (newest drawing)
2 years 11 months ago
"This is for ShiNN XDOk the details. Normal materials or at least the usual ones.
At first, her right arm was up holding her hat down, but it wasnt working out, plus the idea to have it out the way it is now came up and I went with it. I was having trouble with her outfit, mostly idea wise. Kimono wasnt working.
I know the sword could use some detail, but, I like it the way it is. I submitted this on MT, and I have gotten remarks about her nose. And in my opinion, its just a style.
::Reasoning behind the drawing::
ShiNN was getting fed up with some things going about MT, and so, I symbolized those certain things as "Rain". And they seems to happen often, so thats why I used the word "Routine". Put two and two together XD
Enjoy
I posted the link and image incase anyone has problems with either.

"Lol. I really dont know. But in regards to a few points made on it:The feet: Sometimes when I look at it, they look wierd, and sometimes they dont. I think I could just place it as a trick of the eye sort of thing. Some people dont notice it, and some do. Or they just dont mind it. Though I wouldnt really say it a particular area of the whole piece that brings it down.
Strange Factor: lol! Yeah I have been told that. I guess I could call it strange, I sometimes cant explain it myself. I just kinda thought of a girl who was an artist, and decided to have her paint herself.
Color: I am planning to do a line version of this sometime soon. And when I do, I will most deffinatly color. lol But what colors to use, that will be tricky.
Story: No there is no story actually. See the contest I entered it in, had defferent sections to enter in. I did the "Artist" one. The basis was to draw a character who was an artist, doing something artsy. So, after about 7 mental images/ideas this one popped up. Simple really, she painted the Monarch butterfly wings on the wall behind her, then painted herself. The idea of body paintings is a very simple one, and sometimes has meaning, I just did it in my own way from imagination. lol, I just kinda let it flow. And this is what I got.
Thanks for all the comments everyone ^_^

----------
0.5 Mechanical Pencil
Blending Tortillions
Pink Pearl Eraser

When I think of this one, it makes me think deep, as if it has another meaning. And it might lol. Still love it though.
No references used. All from thought.

"Yeah, the skull on the right was done from memory, and to me looks more cartoonish, since the one on the left was done from a real life skull reference image, so it has a more realistic look to it. But I dunno, I guess they look ok in the end. I was still happy in the end with this one. lol. "View

"An another one. Hm well, This was meant to be a commission when I first did it, the person wanted a romantic picnic scene. >_> It never worked out. Because what ended up being drawn was a girl summoning the dead. Sometimes I question my self about this one lol. Same materials used: 0.5 mechanical pencil, Blending tortillions, Pink Pearl eraser:This one was my first one doing printed lace.
The skull behind her was done from memory and the skull coming from the headstone was done from reference images. Outfit and style is my own and no other references were used.
Enjoy ^^

"Yes that as well XD
lol XD I see I'm not the only one who referenced Chobits. But yes, I would really experiment on the way the ruffles look. I remember when I would try to draw something, I would try to make it look like what it did in my head, focusing on trying to make it look like I wanted it to, but would go about it the same way each time. Experimenting with style is really a good help. I would just try different ways, and if you dont like it, erase XD T'what its for. Experiment till you get what you want. And of course with the help of the referenced materials. ^_^"

"I as well had a hard time with ruffles as well, I would recommend referencing for those. lol, a good reference medium wouldbe chobits, there's lots of frills and ruffles in chobits lol. But anyway, I'm sure if you just work from reference, and then experiment from that reference, it might all work out. Or at least thats how it worked for me. Good luck XD"View

"The sprite is very well formed, and done well. I like it ^_^And in regards to the second, you have captured the scene perfectly, with some minor errors. Shading should be more defined, and not so "everywhere", and should be lighter in some areas. Form and postition of characters is good, body structure is good too. Toushirou's face could be fixed up a bit, and the pencil work on him is really good. Second thought, now that I have studied it longer, the shading is not all entirly what I said it was. For the character on the left, the shading on his upper body, that shading is really good, and I think that you should continue that style of shading throughout the entire drawing. Hinimori (hope thats her if I'm correct) could be thinned out in the shoulders, and her hair bun should be brought outa bit so it doesnt look like its implanted within her head. Her waist tie should be touched up a bit too.
Over all, an excellent piece. Drawing more then one character interacting with one another is difficult in my opinion, I fail to do so if I draw each character at the same time. But the placement of the first character defines the position of the second and so on. You have done proportion very well too. Excellent work XD"

"Your works presented are quite good, and I enjoy viewing them very much. You have captured the style and move so flowingly with it. Your pencil work is really good, though I do think shading in some areas could be more defined or exact. But that doesnt bring down the piece itself. Your line work is really good, and when you have sketchy or shaky lines, what I do is erase around or to the point of where I just erase the shaky lines, and re-draw over it with my pencil, but I draw with an 0.5 mechanical pencil lol. Your computer work is good for its degree. In particular the one of Lucas on the top in color. I love the line work, though its not as strait and curved like your drawing of her, I still like it. The lines on it I wouldnt really call shaky though. It actually gives her new depth in appearance or style. I would not completely quite or give up on computer/PS work, I would just define your skills, and practice. Keep up the good work. ^_^"View

"I think the hands from what I can see of the original sketch, look perfect. The legs as well look positioned very nicely. But to even out her face I would add more ruffles to the end of her skirt, and maybe even ribbons since you have them in her hair, that is if those are ribbons ^_^; But I really do love the line work with the ink. It really gives the piece overall a good feel. Hope you finish it and that it turns out great. ^_^Edit: One more thing lol, if you do end up lengthening the dress, I would lower the edge of the boots below her knee. ^_^;"
