BlazingShadow Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Okay so I decided to try my hand at a wallpaper today.. I used Supreme Commander 2 (Because I couldn't find any decent Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance Pics) Starcraft 2 and Red Alert 3.It's pretty simple, it's 1600x1200 feel free to use it. I've found it looks fine on a 1920x1080 resolution and looks a bit iffy on a 1280x1024 resolution.~~WARNING~~~~it's ~7.3MB png file.~~EDIT: Nevermind, Imgur made it a jpeg so it might not be the best quality, but it will be nice and small.~~I'm a quality maniac so I set compression level to 1 out of 9~~~~If requested I can make a lower quality, smaller file one. The quality difference will barely be noticeable.~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nook Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Let's pretend for a second that this isn't just three borrowed images (some obviously suffering from stretch-induced blur) stitched together by a non A/A black line…Why would you think jpeg artifacts are acceptable in a wallpaper?

BlazingShadow Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 Yeah I apologize for the black line, couldn't think of any other way to separate the images. As for the jpeg issues and the stretched issues, I couldn't find any RA3 or SC2 images I liked that were a reasonable format or large enough.

Fuu Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 It's funny that you think this qualifies as actual work. Funny to me, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazingShadow Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Okay I was expecting more constructive criticism than ridicule but whatever, I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergy Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 > Okay I was expecting more constructive criticism than ridicule but whatever, I don't care.Basically, if you're going to be 'composing' work, not _making_ the images yourself, then you need to be a bit more creative. And use better quality images.The overarching comment is that this lacks any sort of imagination and/or attempt to be creative; why just use a black line? Research some tutorials for interesting effects and try things like that. I can't give you any specific links because I'm not an artist (and I'm about to go to the pub), but have a look at other wallpapers. Take inspiration from them and learn more.Also, don't just stretch images to fit. It ruins the quality something horrible.PS. You should care; it's your work. Maybe if you don't care, that's half the problem?PPS. Hopefully that's given you some more helpful feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuu Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 > Okay I was expecting more constructive criticism than ridicule but whatever, I don't care.Shut up. You didn't even do anything. You took three fucking images and put them next to each other. There's no criticism to give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no criticism to give.You've just proved yourself wrong in three sentences; I'm impressed.If putting three images next to each other isn't good enough, that's a criticism in itself. Constructive criticism, however, would be giving advice and telling him what he should/could have done instead (or to improve it). Don't just be an ass hole.

DMF Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 i think the black lines a bit edgy maybe use another color closer to the colors of the images edges. also make it blend more so that its not out of place. theres nothing wrong with bring other images together. you did nicly keep working and you will improve.

Constructive criticism, however, would be giving advice and telling him what he should/could have done instead (or to improve it). Don't just be an ass hole.This is the first time I've laughed at something on this forum in a while. Way to be completely literal about things. Let me correct myself, if you will.> Shut up. You didn't even do anything worth criticism. You took three ducking images and put them next to each other, and put a black outline in the middle. Don't bitch about not getting something you don't deserve in the first place.Better for you? I come off as an asshole by association, it's really not something you can change anymore. In all honesty, the only reason I made a rude post was because he acted like the people of this, of ALL forums, would help him after posting something like that.You really shouldn't be "impressed" by something like _that_, by the way. I've seen much worse.My apologizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, and thanks to synergy too, I've actually made a background from scratch now which is more abstract.. I'll put it here in a sec:Okay here is is, my first from-scratch wallpaper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
