This is something I have been wanting to do for a while, but never got around to doing it. But today I just decided I was going to create the image, and this is was the result:

The blending in this image is amazing! Something I am currently trying to master... good job!

  • 11.07.2009 7:44 PM PDT

Thank you. My tip would be to use overlay, and soft brushes.

Nice work!
I love this style. The texture in the background is cool, and I like vignette.

wow cool it looks like paper in the backround

  • 11.09.2009 4:35 AM PDT

Thank you guys. If anyone wants to create a similar effect, let me just say that it can be done with any sort of texture.

Just go to google, and search _______ texture. You can find paper, rock, metal, and other textures.


Then once you get your desired texture, just place it on a separate layer above your image, and set the blending mode to overlay.

Thank you guys, I will try to add a new wallpaper each week, so whenever you are on these forums, just look for the {Wallpaper} or TW InKoGnito if you want to locate my work.

And why do you type in italics Buggy?

Long Story involving the SSO and other groups, I forget not to in the public forums.

But it does fit my style... and don't let foman notice... he bans me for it...

Woah, this is beautfuil.

  • 11.11.2009 4:54 AM PDT

Is there anything I can do to improve it? Or maybe would you guys like to see it in a different color?

  • 11.11.2009 4:05 PM PDT

Some guy made this for me

Sounds like a bunch of Justin Bieber wannabes in here. I bet you all wear skinny jeans too.

Epic wall paper by the way. I'm loving it.

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

Pretty good maybe try making your own pattern for the background rather than the Microsoft wrinkled paper bag texture

  • 11.12.2009 5:41 PM PDT

I would, but I do not know how to make my own textures. If someone wanted to link me to a tutorial on how to make textures, that would be great.

If I had my own computer I'd definitely have that as my desktop wallpaper. Stupendous job, OP!

  • 11.12.2009 8:35 PM PDT

Are there any improvements I can make?

And here is a little trivia, the bottom part of the guardian, the last fin, is something I had to render using the fin above it.

There's something about it...

It is a bit boring, giving it a glow would be nice.

  • 11.16.2009 7:41 PM PDT

Well it isn't supposed to be an action scene. And action shots rarely make good wallpapers.

And where should I add the glow?
