Published on October 23, 2010 By teddybearcholla In Wallpapers

Thought I would start this thread in the hopes that there will be good and serious critiques. I can be your first *victim* IR or whomever wishes to give me direction!!! This is in progress....it is a photo I took and then added the little ghosties...which may or may not work.

Lose the vulture.

Frankief, one of your wallpapers is the only...ONLY one my wife has ever had on her desktop when she isn't running the USC Gamecocks theme. And my wife is P-I-C-K-Y. If she was a mod here, we'd all be in freakin trouble. She doesn't even use MY wallpapers.

LOL, but Karen, I've grown so fond of those ghosts over the last three weeks! Kidding. Quick question though. If I make some of the suggested changes and want to repost the image can I replace the other one or do I need to do a completely new one? Sorry to be so dense. Oh and thank you all for your suggestions. Having some difficulty getting grass to show for the skull behind the mist.

That gives you a reason to create a SECOND wallpaper, and creating a wallpaper pack (in case people have dual monitors -- kind of a side-by-side thing)!

I here you WG, it seems a consensus about the *empty space*!! I'll see what I can do with it and the ghosties!!! Thank you all for your ideas on my wip!!!

I suggest a new one, that way we dont have to go back to find it when this thread gets large...and we will also be able to see the progress.

LOL, she must have very good taste! Obviously the vulture by all consensus is history!

Teddy...I think if you added some sort of structure...such as an old house or something along those lines in that empty background area it might add to the wall...I think thats whats missing...that background area looks a bit to empty. I here you WG, it seems a consensus about the *empty space*!! I'll see what I can do with it and the ghosties!!! Thank you all for your ideas on my wip!!!
Were you planning on constructing your own house? If not, the guy I got the stock image from on DA with permission to post off of DA has several different shots of this marvelous old house. I can give you a link.

The model is definitely out, no plans on including her anyway. I'll re-insert the image into photoshop and instead of duplicating it, expand it. I dl'd some tree brushes that have fog attached to them. They look as though they'll work. Take a look at this.

Its a part I'm thinking of including.

I sent you an invite to My Dropbox to pick up some brushes. You'll like 'em.

This is a Halloween wall I have been messing with for a while. Any input would be appreciated.

That one looks cool!
