Sky of Hope

Post by HPDarkness »

Well, I finished all my jobs in school today and had some extra time. I wanted to make a new wallpaper for my computer.

So, hope you like it:

Click to see 1280x1024

1280x1024 NO TEXT
1280x800
1920x1200
1920x1200 NO TEXT
Also, I realized most people with the large resolutions 1920x1200 are likely to have either an HDTV or glossy surface screen, so I tweaked the colors up slightly to make it looks a bit better on those.

I was thinking of a previous thing I made called "City of Fear" when I made this. My "City of Fear" piece was a dark/orange city, and showed a massive blob above the city dumping all this technical/industrial garbage onto the buildings, while sucking out natural things like plants, and life.

You can see that piece here:

The vector piece is fantastic.

Wallpaper is pretty good, too.

It's like Japan's rising sun meets America's kick-ass-ed-ness. =p

Care to make one fit my Macbook's resolution? (1280 x 800?)

I would say 1920x1080 to make it more standard.

No, people with 16:9 can crop. I can't crop more pixels in height.

I have an idea. Just make a 10,000x10,000 version and let people crop to their desired resolution.

Do it.
Do not now.

Why you don't have Graphics Emblems is appalling. Great work.

What did you use for the birds? I presume a brush. Commercial or Home-Made?
