Wallpapers
Monday, March 24, 2003 by eddieX | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I am disgusted from the way you have treated me. I have sent you 5-6 wallpapers (fairly good) and did not accept anyone. It is the last time I send you any wallpapers. >

Princess, my walls are more of a 'hybrid type' and even so, quite a few got accepted here (I took most of them down from this site since walls move pretty slowly after the initial stage of being here)...
Here is the link to my walls:
http://www.darkseraphim.com/ds/artwork.htm
Here is a list of the names of my walls that were accepted here before:
"Broken Heart Portal"
"Valentine"
"Orion's View"
"Divine"
"3 powers borne"
"Slither"
"Juxtaposed"
"True Love"
"B-Witching hour"
So, just keep working at it... I've often been surprised at what I've gotten accepted here.
Keep trying!

My style is abstract art and fractals and the like so that's all I make.....
If WC does decide that the absract wall is old....I'm afraid they may loose a good amount of artists (not that I'm one by the way).
I thank WC because this is where I found that I had it in me to make something and post it rather then just download other peeps stuff. Tougher guidelines may not make better walls but less of an audience and as it is WC is not directly for walls in the first place, right? It's just a bonus to compliment the skinning apps.
By the way check my fractals and some walls that got moderated here http://greenarmani.deviantart.com/thumbnails/?PHPSESSID=352473d468910892a4b244db2d2f5769 I only have about a fourth of my work on here since I just joined Deviant Art

Schmoopy, those are absolutely beautiful wallpapers, I wish I was that talented, it seems that it takes a certain amount of talent to do that...I have no talent in this area, PrincessHirmer5167 isn't even sure where her talent lies.. I'm having such a hard time understanding Photo Shop and what and how everything works and how to incorporate it into something.. 
but I will keep trying..I'm determined now..

My walls seem to be objects more then anything. A vision on my dream. I just don't seem to dream in abstract like GA seems to do. I got to say, he does excellent work with Bryce.

S'okay princess...a lot of people add the C to Shmoopy but since it's not my 'real' name I'm not insulted. ! I wouldn't be even if it was my real name...I'd be more mad at my mother for naming that!
Princess...the more rejections I got...the more determined I was to get better...just be stubborn! But always do your work for YOU...
And I like your desktop that you did! You have to remember, that just because something doesn't get 'accepted' here doesn't make it an artistic 'reject' but it just might not be suitable to go well with enough skin apps etc. Sometimes 'less is more' here as far as walls are concerned.

GA, those are excellent WP's too, I have downloaded some of yours and Smoopy's. So am I getting this right...it's best to make a skin first then do a wallpaper to match? or just make a wallpaper that perhaps matches some current skins on here?

it also seems to me that there are so many skins that look alike and in every color of the rainbow, where does one go from there?

Well, what I meant was that WC is a skinning site and the wallpaper section of it isn't necessarily the direct purpose of the website.....please don't confuse that you have to make walls that compliment any skin (I don't). It's just that with the varied walls (colors and by design) that they compliment the skins and that in itself is a bonus.
I can say that only recently the skins are starting to look very much alike.....I have a few old ones that I use religiously and I rarely download any of the news ones because they are all similiar.

Hmm. Make a wallpaper that is from your own creativity that gives YOU pleasure to look at... I never make stuff to go with anything...even my own stuff (yeah, guess I could be more disciplined). 
Which is why my stuff is rather 'different'...even my cursors...they really are all individually unique.
The big thing...is to really take time with your work...don't make a wallpaper in a few hours...take a few spare hours when you can over at least a span of a week at first and really tweak it and perfect it and put your 'vision' into it.
Oh and I love G_A's stuff...too! He's a bryce-master!

Oh, and of course learning the APP of your choice is imperative to making your creative juices flow easier. Nothing is more frustrating than not knowing how to achieve a certain effect or technique...such as softening an edge so there are no jaggies or using lighting to give more depth and feeling to an image...etc.
I use Paintshop Pro which has hundreds of free tutorials online by users etc.
BTW, when I first started submitting walls to WC...I was a big, loud-mouthed cry-baby and I lamented and bemoaned my rejections. Gee, looking back, I can't believe how patient everyone was with me! he-eh!

JM: there are stil some original works, but there was a day last week when I looked at the upload cue and all the wall there (about 12 or so) all looked like they were made by you. But no, to my surprise they were made by 5 or 6 different artists. I do not mean your stuff isn't nice, it is. But when a bunch of submissions start having the same style, then we have a problem.
I won't post examples in public, but if you want, I can send you links be email and I'm sure you'll understand what I mean.

I find myself in the that position, paxx.
Do you think that maybe what it could be is that an artist (let's say myself) posts a wall that was really popular and then he wants to make similiar ones that may have some what the same elements? I'm sorta there right now....I noticed that I was "beginning" to make the same stuff. When I first started making walls Bryce was so new to me that I was trying all different types of things.
I'm actually taking a break from Bryce so hopefully I'll be refreshed and come up with new ways of projecting my imagination
