Anyone Got Some Good Pics For Desktop Backgrounds?


Recommended Posts

The first 2 are some of my drawings that i just edited a bit, the other 2 are some my bro Brent made up after i showed him a few tricks, I think he did pretty damn good. Any one else come up with some cool backgrounds?

The last one is my logo :lol:

wow mick, that looks nice

how did u make the first two wallpapers?

did u vectorise it? add colours?

i know my photoshop stuff, but i want to learn your technique :)

Hey how is ya, I do all my stuff with adobe photo shop - with the car pics i got a photo and added a layer and then traced it with a pen and tablet (they cost around $130) then with the colours and back ground keep adding more layers. Keep the out line as the top layer.

eg. For Kezza's car

layer1: Background

layer2: The figure in the background

layer3: Colour of the car

layer4: Wheels

layer5: Stickers

Layer6: windows

layer7: The shine and reflections on the car

layer8: The outlines of the car

Hope this gives ya a better idea

With the straight lines you can use the airbrush click once where you want the line to begin and then hold the shift key and click where you want the line to end or go.

:P

thanks mate you gave me a good idea.

betcha that took a while to trace, sounds time consuming..

but nice overall effect, i love it.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
