Spore

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 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]:
Catchy Message! You should tell Will Wright, he may has some use for it ^^.

Actually, I tried to pick up the style of the Flash Movie on the Spore Homepage ^^
(But I didn't copy and paste something)

My entry:



n-joy, Spore Release isn't too far anymore ^^

ah yes btw, both of us used Vector Graphics, i guess...

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.

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.

:[ZEphYR]:

Some of these are quite nice. Maybe I'll see if I can get creative too!

I know. But actually I just uploaded it for the inspiration of the others ^^ I had it finished already, because i thought I'll loose at the contest

My entry for this month, I may start making a more of a role in these contests, gives me something to do.

This month, im going for a serenity/miniscule approach, seeing as you guys got the treat of a KAHBOOMAH last month xD!...thanks to Treefrog and Xandy for pushing me to post this =D!

Now be veh náce to me, mmkay?...

Edit: Take note of the pretty wave effect! Perttiful! ^_^

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 ^_^

i won't do one but here is an idea,

From Cytoplasm...(on upper left)

To Space...(middle right side)


Are You Ready?(middle of the bottom)

i think its a good idea and i don't have photoshop or any other picture editing program so if someone uses this i will be very happy

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.

Good point, my bad.

And i apologize for how i acted, bad day and i flamed slightly x)...Good work though =D

Nice to see a pretty active contest this year already. it seemed to die a bit towards the end of last year

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.
