Big A HG Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 So hurry up! It's pretty much a snow day for me tomorrow, so you can expect the new February edition as soon as I wake up and get to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A HG Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Finally got a chance to work on it today. Yesterday's storms put a damper on doing on work. Give me another hour or two and it should be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me another hour or two and it should be done. I definitely in need of a new background. The picture of Frattin leveling Alt is getting a little old...!

Big A HG Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 The inspiration from this one came from Reebokhockey.com. I had to improvise due to the limited photos I have for use, so it's similar but not identical in style to those. All-in-all, it turned out pretty decent I think. Thanks for all the support from everyone.

soSIOUXme Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 nice work! I really like the calendar on the blood wallpaper... I use rainlendar on my desktop and am thinking about making a skin that looks like that. Did you make it from scratch or is there somewhere I can find it?

Big A HG Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 nice work! I really like the calendar on the blood wallpaper... I use rainlendar on my desktop and am thinking about making a skin that looks like that. Did you make it from scratch or is there somewhere I can find it? I made it from scratch. Wasn't too difficult. Just did a rounded square and set the transparency to whatever looks best, then add the numbers, lines, etc. The reason that I haven't done it more is because I get lazy and it gets a bit time consuming.

Anyway, thanks for getting back to me...and thanks for the wallpapers. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndahl Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Darn you, I was hoping no one wanted one that big, oh well...it's on its way. Just be glad none of us have requested 2560x1600 yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A HG Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 No, just never got around to it. Life gets in the way sometimes. I promise they'll be there for March. Thinking about going retro again in the next batch. Just gotta learn a little geometry (<---hint) first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A HG Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 OK, so I lied. I liked a photo John Dahl took so much I had to use it right away. So, thank John for the wonderful image he captured of Jason Gregoire for March's edition. He is an awesome photographer, I must say. This is one of my favorite wallpapers. It's pretty simple, but there was a lot of hidden work in making the background from scratch. I could have kept going infinitely with little details here and there, but I'm pleased with the final result. I think I'm going to start skipping the Standard sized screens, unless I get enough people that want them (let me know if you do). No calendar this month due to a limited known schedule. http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/3554/marchwp.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
