January Contest Entries

Remember, if you take the time to design a wallpaper, be *sure* it is within the correct dimensions. (800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, etc...)

Good luck!

Haha

Haha I nabbed the first entry for the new year!

Well, I know I've entered once already, but I wanted to try a completely different style.. so here it is.

Again, this is all my original artwork so I ask that you please do not modify it in any way or use it in your own compilations. Thank you very much.

Hope you like it!

PS. There's also a 1280x1024 here: www.genedodge.com/images/SPORE_evolution_1280x1024.jpg

Zephyr you can enter as many times as you want till you win a contest.

ProundOne, once you've won a contest you don't need to enter again, as you wont be able to win, as they will choice the person who hasn't won.

Nice work there Zephyr, like the cell shaded look, not my type of wallpaper, but looks great.

Thx

Yeh, not really my typical wallpaper either, but I actually like it.

Kind of reminds me of insanaguarium by popcap...or yahoo... games.

Anyhow, yeah, I used photoshops pen tool mostly. with some outlines for each layer.

Well here I go...
I posted my first creature a while ago and won
Now I'm posting my first (finished) wallpaper and realise I don't stand a chance against those that have already posted...oh well
I just spend half an hour messing with the filters to see what you can do on this wonderfull program photoshop, so sorry that I kinda overused them


Tell me where I can go better for next month

not to use it from screenshots? x) it's not fair that the ''Wow factor'' comes from screenshots put together, then add a few custom items such as transparency and fancy writing x)...I think the best ones are ones made from scratch with your own work =D...But hey, just had to get it offa mah chest ^_^

Thanks for the tips Azkanan, but unfortunately some people don't have any art skills and have to rely on simply editing. Many people do this for wallpapers.
Although the blurs and background are original work

If anyone could give me tips on how to use photoshop, it would definately help

At least you implied it had a wow factor...

I liked the use of the neon borders, but it seems a little overdone.

I did overuse those neon borders, but i was just having fun at the time. Besides, I didn't have many ideas and it was late

And don't worry at flamin me azkanan, i also prefer original artwork and think yours and the other entries are definately a break from the norm.
