Description: Hey I loved the look of some of these sunset shots, so I tried my hand at cobbling together my own. Most of what I submit is things I try for the first time, and this is no exception. PLEASE any tips / criticism is much appreciated!Last changelog:
1.1b - Fix Screenshot
1.2b - WOW! Read a tut on Rubasu's website for touching up some photos by adding a screen layer and it really brightened up this wallpaper.
1.5 - After much consideration, I decided to remove the star scene - it didn't seem to match the hard, bold lines of the rest of the wallpaper. If anyone requests it, I can repost it with that though. I also became familiar with the "Unsharpen Mask" and cleaned up a few of the pixel-ised brushes due to the image size. Everything looks a bit sharper and cleaner now
1.7 - From request, added two different themes, blue and human. I think I mucked up a bit on the human theme, and i'm not very happy with the blue one, any crits are welcome and encouraged! PLEASE comment!
1.8 - God damn it... of course as soon as I submit the wallpaper, I realize a glaring error in both the human and blue variations. Fixed the sky effect on both of them... Curse you 1 am gimping!
2.0 - I've *tried* to create a 4 version of the surreal sunset... set. Any tips from any more experienced ps'ers and gimp'ers on transforming wide-screen to standard? I just tried to replicate the process all over again... and I don't like it too much. :-/
So SalixOS used your wallpapers?
I was half way through typing a "this is not your work" post when I spotted the 2008 date. Thought I'd better check first.
Oh man do I ever! It really feels like I've arrived in the community, for the first time someone is asking ME if they want to use something I made! :-D *blush* Thanks for choosing my wallpaper!
eep... should have replied to this one first, but just in case you'll only come back here if you checked the "notify me of replies to this etc" Yup, I can make a 4:3 display version, but do you have a color preference?
Thankyou so much! Actually after you commented, I followed your link to your website and checked out all your stuff. *awe* You're work is incredible! It was actually one of your tuts that helped me make this look the way it does! Thanks :)
