Another wallpaper
 
I told you I was going to post a second wallpaper.
Ok, it's ready.

This one is eastern-style.
I had a bad time trying to put in it the pic of a chinese dragon :p

If you're wondering why I'm making those wallpapers on the same character (that propably you don't know), well, it's because I needed some dowloadable goodies for I shrine on him I'm mantaining.

This is the second wallpaper of my life, and I guess that's why I had so many difficulties. Maybe it also depends on the fact there aren't many pics of this character on the web
*sigh*

Dragon Wallpaper

looks good fortune, all I would recommend is making the text different styles and ranging more around the screen, but other than that it looks great! Might want to blend a bit more backgrounds though...

Pu the Owl Feb 24th, 2002 12:42 AM

mmm thanks for the suggestions, but anyway, what do you mean by using different style for the text?
are you talking about the "arial" text or "the "far east" text?

Spirit Feb 24th, 2002 12:58 AM

change arial, I have more than 300 different fonts on my computer, and I use a lot of them, the standard stuff sucks. Go to google and search for fonts, and you shall find a page called 1001fonts.com or something. I got a lot of my fonts from there. here's an example https://www.liquid2k.com/spiritslayer/spiritsig19.jpg to https://www.liquid2k.com/spiritslayer/spiritsig20.jpg and again to
https://www.yoursighost.com/users/SpiritSlayer/sig1.jpg and this as well:

notice how different the way my name goes up is and how cool some fonts are

Pu the Owl Feb 24th, 2002 01:05 AM

I see...I picked Arial not because I have no fonts on my Pc, but only because with idegrams I had to use a very linear and simple font to not mess up with the style of the pic. I think it's better to not make the wallpaper too messy and also to underline the text. Writing all the text in Far East was not a good idea, and with ideograms and Far East together you can't use another type of font.
Oh well, at least that's my opinion :)

Spirit Feb 24th, 2002 01:18 AM

well then again its all depending on what you prefer, of course your preferance is your style of making graphics I just told you my opinion about it, but I could be wrong, so everything is in the eye of the beholder. =P

Pu the Owl Feb 24th, 2002 01:22 AM

I always appreciate criticism, especially on this subject, so I can improve a little more :D

Rei Feb 24th, 2002 01:55 AM

I think this one is even better than the map one, maybe because I like the black/red colors more than the sepia one.
The dragon is very good, and I think Arial is perfect for the quotation. For a long text is better using a clear font and for titles and names something more...original ;)

About blending, I think there's no need to blend the images more because they don't have to look mixed together. I think they have to look separated.

Anyway, I liked the idea in general :)

Pearl Feb 24th, 2002 07:57 AM

Nice one! I like the colors! :)

Soul Angel Feb 24th, 2002 10:33 AM

Hey another good wallpaper you've done!
I like it, especially the dragon in the background and all the colours in it :happy:
Keep it up!

Pu the Owl Feb 24th, 2002 11:03 AM

Thanks a lot for your nice comments everyone! ;)

Mana Feb 24th, 2002 11:14 PM

Agree with those who said the colors are great: the theme for this wallpaper and the way you mixed the elements together are amazing!

Harry Feb 25th, 2002 04:27 PM

Yeah, you did a wonderful work here. I don't know which one of your wallpapers I prefer, they're both good!!

Cannibal Clown Feb 25th, 2002 05:45 PM

You are really good at working on computers. I love the pic, and a still need to see that anime.

I tried to do a few wallpapers before, didn't do very well though. But what can you do when all you got is Microsoft Paint, and a scanner that doesn't work.
