More Wallpapers--fairies, angels, anime

[Dew Dust]

I made two more wallpapers today while I am on vacation from my job. You are welcomed to keep any for yourself. I am can also accept requests. Just give me a picture you like. Any criticisms, comments or advice I wouldn't mind at all since I am still learning. I will post up more when I get finished with them. Enjoy

Those look pretty good. The first and second have things in them that look like 3D things that you might've made. I don't know if you did, but if so then that'd be cool.

They look great, so does all the other wallpapers you've been uploading too

Wow, those are really awesome! About how long do you spend on them? Oh, and *coughSpongebobissofreakinEVIL!cough*

Thanks guys! I can see the 3D elements in the first one and know how that was made. But I don't see it as much in the second one, Vampyre. Interesting perspective--thanks! Some wallpapers take hours, others minutes, Tsen. I am still learning and I find that when you do learn the tricks of photoshop--making anything becomes faster. Sadly, I cut my finger really bad and it will be some time for me to sketch and draw, along with writing. Also to make wallpapers. As soon as I make others, I will post up some more. Also if you want any for your own, anything made specifically for you, let me know. I love making these things for my friends.

In the third picture, the flowers look like they were made by a really good 3d artist.

Ah, you mean the second picture. When making a background, I use tons of layers. In fact, anything you do should be on its own layer. With these layers, you can do even much more--for example--Multiply (I love that one), Overlay (another good one), Hard light, etc. Shadowing affects come most in handy--one can achieve this through blending options. I prefer drop-shadows. Others prefer glows. Lens-flare and lighting effects are also helpful. Finally, Hue and Saturation really goes far. I don't really notice 3D. Maybe it is my perception. Again, I say you have great perception Here is another wallpaper that I have. The background in this one is an actual photograph!! It is coming more popular to mix cartoon/anime with real life. The trick is to blend the anime into the real life. I tried it with Sailor Saturn. I tried it again with FFVII for a friend of mine. I guess it does look 3D, but that again would be because of the mulitple layers, opacity, blending effects, etc. Thanks for the questions and comments. I am playing around with Maya too which does a lot of 3D effects. There I admit you see the 3D. The program is specifically designed for that Thanks again!!
