Fly... by °Phill 3 weeks 3 hours ago

^nat
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.

Tatsuki Vector, Critique Needed

3 months 2 weeks ago

"V6.7 and v6.8 working on the eyes again, I'm not so sure about this cell shading but since this is my first vector i decided to try it anyways. As far as i could understand from other sites on the net this is what i've come up with for cell shading the eyes.
**The only difference between the two is a slight change in the shape, i really don't know why i bothered but w/e.

Tatsuki Vector, Critique Needed

"Heres a smaller pic with the eye fixed, I wasn't sure if it really needed to be changed. If it mirrors the other eye then it would be higher, but then again that eye is closed so does it move down? I'm also trying to follow that shadow thats also over the eye, you can see at the apex of both curves are met at the same point, about.

"V6 Nearing the finish of the vector, starting to look into bgs for the wp. I've redone the eye, again, this one I'm a little more satisfied with. Also fixed the hair and the her right eye-crease thing.

And I'm more or less having fun - now that I've almost finished the vector. I was more put out at the 4-5 edit but now I'm just happy it's almost done. I was hoping that I'd be first to vector her from the 8th opening. As soon as I saw the first episode (online) i replayed that part of the opening several times before actually watching the episode. Personally I don't think theres enough walls with tatsuki, you can search on google and get less than 50 hits, how disappointing. But hopefully this will add to the batch, theres a lot of potential for different clothing in this vector too, I made it with the white base so I can easily redesign her shirt.

V6.5 More final touches, mostly by intuition now, seeing what looks good and what doesn't, so bits match a bit more now, like the armpit and some of the shadowing, line art, pants, etc..."

Tatsuki Vector, Critique Needed

3 months 3 weeks ago

"V5 ok, just finished a bunch of touch ups, pretty much... everywhere. I couldn't change the line widths too much since the resolution was small, so on v4 the thick line was 2px the fine lines where 1px. Now on v5 I scaled the entire image to be twice as big and kept the same line scale, so again thick =2 thin =1. With the scaling I ended up touching up everywhere cause, go figure, nothing scales perfectly. I fixed up the eye a little bit better, it follows a completely different model so it's not going to be exactly like tatsuki's. I also fixed up the collar bone but i still think it could use more work. Fixed the hair now, its more curvy, line art is a bit neater i think now too. While working on the hair again i kinda noticed another thing, but i'm not sure if its worth fixing. The top of the hair in the original looks like it could be one of those divides in your hair, i didn't notice it during the first vector but looking back i wonder if it looks weird without it. I may be just going a little crazy from staring at the image for too long... maybe I'll take a break."

"V4 Changed some of the line art, particularly the thickness going all the way around. Collarbones, nose and mouth have been changed to line art as well though I'm not sure the collar should have been changed (i think i should have kept the shadowing there too :S. I added the two lines above her eyes, but again the crap resolution didn't help much so i personally think it doesn't look to well and could maybe do without, I'm not sure. Shading has improved a bit, i edited a bit of the shapes on some and I turned down the alpha a bit more so it should have more color. Still working on the eye, I have another version where i just modeled my own, but I'm still considering it. The hand still looks weird to me but if nobody complains i guess i'll leave it. It just seems weird with that extra lump under the middle finger, i'm not sure whether it was suppose to part of the finger or part of the palm or part of the arm..."

Tatsuki Vector, Critique Needed

"V3 Alright I touched up the lines that i totally didn't see before being told. The hair now has line art to match the rest, color goes to the line, not before or after. I'm really not sure about the eye though, i can't really help it being a blob if you take a look at the original which I've now posted. I think i might try and see if i can pull a better similar eye from another another character.
I think she looks better without the medallion anyways so I'm going to leave that out.

Thanks for the critique Doki!"

"Hi all, just started a wallpaper with Tatsuki and i just finished vectoring her from the 8th bleach opening. This is my first real vector so any critique or advice is welcome, seeing as I have no idea whether its good or not. Thanks!
**edit** I'll also be taking suggestions for wallpaper backgrounds. So far I have a title "You've got the spirit" but I could really use some suggestions for the bg**

This is the most current version (6.6) **edit: I guess it's a bit big, just rightclick and view image then, thanks.**

Notes:
Took a jpg frame image from the opening, unfortunately the resolution was crap so I'm kinda iffy on certain sections of the picture, particularly the hand, eye, and the collar of the shirt. The eye is really blurred because I worked on that first and had no real idea how i should go about it, so i tried to replicate what i saw, which was resolution hell... When it was more in focus i didn't like it much, I figured that it wouldn't make too much of a difference since it's a very small part of what will be a larger image. I think i may have rushed the clothes a bit but i wasn't sure about smaller detail in those areas so i didn't bother. Another resolution hellspot was the medallion, i have no idea what it's suppose to look like judging by the blur that was there so I'm temporarily sticking with whats there. I might actually take it off in the end, but for now it's hiding a shading dead end where again i wasn't sure what to do because there wasn't any sort of guide... On a quick reflection of that I just realized it probably doesn't matter so I took it out. I've also un-blurred the eyes and taken out the bg.

V3 Alright I touched up the lines that i totally didn't see before being told. The hair now has line art to match the rest, color goes to the line, not before or after.

"I want to suggest some sort of log for the random wallpaper. This is because sometimes i see something i like and either the link doesn't work or it moves on to the next one or doesn't move to the next one >_>. Anyways i think a log would be helpful to help those looking for some of those great wallpapers that don't always get the spotlight.

Mixed anime wallpapers

1 year 6 months ago

"Hi i was wondering whether it's a good idea to post wallpapers that are basically mixed clips of anime.
i mean by finding small images of various characters and trimming them down with photoshop or something and then splicing all the little clips into one picture/wallpaper. it probably isn't an amazing wallpaper, but do you think people will like to see all their favorite characters on one paper?"

Hiya!

"Hi this is a great place to get wallpapers, what a great find on the net!
do you think anybody will want wallpapers that are starter kits for mixed wallpapers of anime (i.e. a wallpaper with little clips of various anime spread across it)?
thats my first question 'cause thats the one of the only wallpapers i'v ever made.
it's slightly dissapointing to find that i just couldn't get the scans for free so i have to start making some wallpapers
but how do i get material to start with?
it's a fairly good system and i'm sure this gallery is gonna be around for a long time"
