Thanks Doc, was not sure if too dark These are Warhammer Characters. Troll on the left is Rockgut the Troll. The Zombie lord is a 3d Character from CG hub. The Tenicles are 3d & from Poisen from his TenicleZ for Daz studio3d. It's supposed to be dark but not overly dark. So I will lighten it up some & resubmit. Any other advice will be welcome as I am still kinda new to 3d work & my eyes aren't what they used to be! LOL Big THX

Oh, Here's a link to the 1920x1200 preview, it may not be as dark in the larger version, but still will be on dark side.

In my very very humble opinion I would lose the Troll and the Tentacles and stick with the Lord and add some thing more in line with the zombie lord to keep a consistent theme. Great imagination and love the candles and the zombie lord. The other images are good too, just out of place maybe.Again, my very humble opinion.

Would be better if the characters were more visible...just to dark.

Yea the troll isn't in the master & thought needed something for the go in the background the tenicles were thrown in to see what it would look like. Even the background could change. I will try to lighten the back as I think the Main character is alright. I lit the candles & well wanted to see if I was seeing things being too dark or not- needed second opinions! Thanks for looking, thoughts & advice Tech & Gizmo!

Glad you are not discouraged, keep going, good stuff . Wish I could use dazz, have it, maybe someday I will try. Also, I kinda like the dark mysterious look, not to distracting for a wall!!!

No Doortech, discouraging is not having an idea, Frustrating is I have too many! I'm runnin outa drivespace. I might have 5 or six versions with 20 to 30 variations of a wall & some are really good but can't upload them all or have time for it! I have some really great stuff but those are waiting permissions as most were made before I knew much about painting or 3d work of my own. I'm still learning & will never know enough ever as the more I see the more I need to learn. 3d is a step learning curve & lots to pay attension to. And defintely read the instructions before delving into daz & take lots of notes! That way you won't get discouraged. I try to not be too distracting as it must be usable or make for a great logon to get you in the mood. Yes some of my stuff is a bit busy but I have some minimalistic stuff I'm working on but they have a great impact for unusual. I will try for those of you who don't like dark to lighten up a bit. I need some variety too! The wall was to be dark I just wasn't sure if I was seeing the just a bit too dark, Tho sometimes it helps in the desktop icons visibility of which is a concern for me. I do try to take all things into consideration but there are too many varibles to always accomodate every situation of items that might grace a destop. But those things within reason can be moved around or resized. The wall can't being static. Thank you so much and Constructive opinions are always welcome!

I hear that. I have 2 terabytes and still need more space. On the subject of always more to learn, that is the most important thing I have learned in my short time at WC. I started out thinking I was great, now, not even close. Hurt at first, but now it is a challenge I intend to take on as long as I can. Practice, practice, like it for two days, then throw it out, start over. My daily routine. Someday,someday, I will make a truly magnificent skin though. Have a good one and I will look for you future works.

It's very dark, Stramp... also... the character on the left? Is that a Troll? Not sure of the tentacles, but if you say so...ok. The one on the right looks good... but the overly dark tone suggests this was originally a "Davie Jones Locker" type theme...
