Widescreen Wallpaper Submission Thread

Post by **skipclarke** » 06 Sep 2008, 06:29

Post your final submissions here. Please post a scaled down version, or a thumbnail and a link to the full image. No need to load 2560x1600 images into the thread, especially if they are being hosted at Image Shack. ;-)

I got a few here, not sure if we are allowed only one submittion.

But I figured I'd probably get too busy before September anyway.

Resolution 2560x1600, let me know if any of you folks use them.

This is my wallpaper, made from almost every wallpaper I submitted on WSGF. The current resolution is 2560x1600.

For a smaller one, i could simply resize this one, or make one with less "screenshots"

Can anyone help me with criticize this wallpaper.

Yea, I don't recall seeing that when I posted, also to my credit skeeder's were also 2560x1600 as far as I can tell, but his are smaller in KB and has less.

Fixed, though they still have to scale down a bit (left them at 960 by 600)

Two notes I would like to make to potential users, the sample shots look like crap because they are scaled to 3/8ths of their normal size. The full size ones may look a little strange because my camera (S3 IS) is 6mp so the 2560 was taking up nearly the entire width of my pictures.

I didn't notice it with his ... maybe because he hasn't got so many ...
Thanks for sorting it ... :D

I apologize ;) but im not highly decisive, might use this as an excuse to re learn bryce for some nice-ish renderings given the software is 100 dollars instead of several thousand for high end programs

>>Only too gladly (man, who do I think I am ??)
I like the idea, but maybe less screenies (i.e bigger ones) would be better for "readability".
Idea that spontaneously popped out my mind upon seeing the full-sized image : I'd use greyscale for most of the wallpaper, except for one screenie for each game, thus creating color patches here and there over a smooth grey background instead of this rich "magma". I'd also lose the URL and center the enormous logo, or resize it. Such a large element stuck into a corner doesn't "feel right" IMHO.
Thanks for asking, as an unskilled, undereducated guy I *love* discussing art and design. :P

I decided to pull out of the contest. Apologies, not really sure why but I almost feel guilty for being so indecisive pre-contest and I feel I mostly just contributed with the hopes of my own material gain.

Sorry

Packer

Hmmz, let's poke ibrin, he forgot my wallpaper :cry:

Post by **skipclarke** » 03 Nov 2008, 16:51

I was narrowing down the other entrants to their top 1-2, and then put everyone's top 1-2 (and P-Storm only has one), into a final thread.

skeeder · Post by **skeeder** » 03 Nov 2008, 18:40

I am also confused as why packerfan pulled out.

packerfan · Post by **packerfan** » 03 Nov 2008, 23:25

Not completely sure why I pulled out, my mind has been kind of crazy due to stress lately but I will live with my decision.
