My sister has been obsessed with making wallpapers and experimenting with photo shop. She's gotten quite good at it actually and intends to go into graphic editing etc. I thought I'd show off some of her stuff to you guys in hopes that anyone else might show off their stuff.
Yeah, you can probably sense a pattern here. She doesn't understand why I'm starting a thread to post her stuff...but I figure it will get the rest of you to share your stuff with us...and shameless *sistah* promotion!!!

I have made a couple of desktop pictures using bryce. This is some of them but not all of them.
I was able to cut and paste it by right-clicking on the link and choosing "properties" and then highlighted and copied the target address from there.
Posted by cyruseh (Member # 1120) on :
i forgot about that... Ill try and make it easier when i get a little time.

She was on my desktop for the last four years, until I recently changed my photo to a slug . I might change it back to Kaoru soon, or switch between the two.
Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :
Thanks farmgirl! That worked.
I like the surprise cyruseh. Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
The Hugh Jackman one nearly made me drop my bottle of water. Holy crumb.
Posted by Cecily (Member # 5675) on :
I know. He's her current obsession right now. (The fact that he's gorgeous and can ALSO sing and dance makes us melt.)
Farmgirl-Thanks!! I'll tell her.
Posted by Cecily (Member # 5675) on :
cyruseh, I liked yours. That third one was a fun surprise!! Suneum, that one was really nice. Did you do that one yourself?

I haven't got an artistic bone in my body (only one like that in my family, its not fair) but i have been messing around writing a screensaver that is kind of fun. You can see a picture of it here (see what i mean about no artistic talent). The two teams play a game kind of like hockey against each other. They slam into each other and bounce off walls, its kind of fun to watch. Anyway if anyone wants to try it the install file is here . After you run the installer just right click on the desktop, hit properties, hit screensaver and select alfhoc.
Posted by Cecily (Member # 5675) on :
zip, that is cool. I liked it!!
Here are a couple more of my sister's that I missed.
I think I shall have to cycle through the Orlando desktops every couple weeks.
On my serious computer (my design laptop), this is my current desktop. Very impressive when you whip it out in class. And no icons to distract! Beautiful, beautiful.
Posted by Suneun (Member # 3247) on :
Found it online my freshman year. I'm not even positive it comes from the series, it might be a fan drawing.
Here is the slug that currently sits upon my desktop. Mike owns the arm and hand. We found it one morning at the circus skills workshop we attended last month.
Posted by Cecily (Member # 5675) on :
Suneum, that is so cool!! I admit, I was taken aback at first, but it's such a beautiful photo. All the light and clear colors.
At the risk of sounding uneducated and uncultured, where is that cool hall on your desktop Annie?

Ralphie, that's cool! This one of Chaeron's pics is currently on mine! Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
This is my current desktop. I think you'll like it, Cecily. (you have to click on "open bigger image")

katharina, he's very witty and intelligent, per the interviews.
And he adores his wife, who is an older woman.
And I thought you wrote that "he almost made me drop my crumb," which is in itself hilarious.
Yeah, I pretty nearly dropped my crumb, too.
(It sounds deliciously naughty, but it's completely innocent when parsed. Nice!)
[Edit: I am trying to be very scrupulous about not being a bad influence, as a gentle and indirect nudge not too long ago made me more conscious of my possible impact on the younger'uns. I won't say who, but you know who you are, and thank you. I think, though, that "crumb-dropping" should be innocent enough. Please do let me know if it still seems inappropriate.]

Annie, that's MY current desktop too!! I got it from the cutest most hilarious friend of mine...
CT, I love you. And it took me a minute to even GET that you could possibly be naughty with that phrase.
btw, thanks for resurrecting this thread Ryuko. Nobody posts much on Cecily's threads, so I'm sure she'll be happy. She's such a dweeb!

(If Nick is reading this: Put on your Sarcasm Analyzer)
( /Start Sarcasm) Ooh! Ooh! My turn to show off. ( /End Sarcasm)
All of these have been my desktop background of late - usually my desktop lasts a month at most before I've got somehting else to switch it up with.
Abstract Ice The same scene, with some texture/lighting differences.
Lighthouse Done in Bryce 3D before I left on my mission - I might go back and fix it up one of these days.
A Mech for Nick I finished this a few days ago for a friend in Ontario. Done in Bryce 5.
Shwartz This was my first desktop when I bought my new computer. It's not really an attempt at Schwartz, that's just the only thing this raytracing reminds me of.
And that's just scratching the surface. If any of you foool around in Bryce (like you, cyruseh!) and want the source files, let me know on this post or email me and I'll send them to you or dump them on my ftp. I can convert Bryce 5 files to Bryce 3 files if needed.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
I can be so silly.
Narnia darling, I must warn you: when I get really excited about things I tend to share them with my friends. Repeadtedly. Without remembering I've done it. Just be forewarned for when I tell the same hilarious story to you four nights in a row. Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Dearheart(Annie), I hope you didn't detect sarcasm in MY post...because there wasn't any. I LOVE hearing all of your stories and seeing all of your desktops as many times as you want to show them to me. Really. ::serious face::
So no worries or apologies!! Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Wonderdog, I liked those. The lighthouse one is definitely cool.
Posted by Eruve Nandiriel (Member # 5677) on :
*melts at hot guy pictures* What program did she use to make those pictures? That's awesome! I have paint shop pro7, but I don't know how to do that kinda stuff.
I used to have Gollum as my background, but I'd forget and it'd scare me.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
My current desktop is...
oh wait, that would spoil the Photoshop Phriday surprise.
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
She used photoshop. She's turning into a whiz kid with that program and she makes her own ecards and everything. She's quite handy to have around and funny to boot! (My sister, for those of you that were wondering)
Posted by kwsni (Member # 1831) on :
narnia, your sister and the talented people like her are the reason i have a degree in journalism and work in a hospital. very impressed with everyone, though. i wish i could think outside the box better. but just in case anyone wants to send a sympathetic pat on the back my way, i'll put my website in my profile. (for reference, i am a budding photographer with a plan for the distant future, and it still doesn't really have anything to do with journalism.)
i hope this thread keeps going. i'd like to see more of what it looks like outside that box.
(btw again, forgive me if my "stuff" doesn't belong here. i haven't had a chance to venture beyond simple photography.)

Please post some though. Hey, I know!! Let's start a kick trash photography thread!!
fiazko, you're a genius!! Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Here is my current desktop. No Annie, I'm not obsessed. o_0

Those are absolutely dreamy, Narnia.
And I'm so excited to meet your sister and talk about photoshop! Yay! Posted by Abrynne (Member # 5826) on :
*ahem* Yes she is obsessed. I look forward to meeting you as well Annie and discussing Photoshop! Narnia has already told me bunches about you Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
K. this one is definitely a winner...it's for the matrix fans:
I think she looks a lot like me.
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Annie, didn't you know that Monica Belucci is Ralphie in disguise? Really! She is!!
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Good disguise!
(ooooh...)
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
New one!! Hugh Jackman. Man, he's one fine specimen. Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
Ooh... that is a wicked awesome font you used, Cecily's sister. I can't figure out if it's quasi-greek or quasi-mathematical. (Well, it is all Greek to me....)
Posted by Abrynne (Member # 5826) on :
lol (this would be Cecily's sister) It's actually called achillies. I really like the font.
I just can't help myself though. I found these new shots of Hugh and they were screaming to be photoshoped and put on my desktop so here we go... (and Narnia won't let me go without saying that she helped me decide the design so...she did) Fun Hugh Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
*bumpity bump*
So here is Abrynne's latest kick trash desktop. She made it just for me because she was sick of my badly made Nicholas Nickleby desktop that I've had up forever.
It's cheesy, it's cute, and it's all mine!!! Posted by Abrynne (Member # 5826) on :
Awwww...thankee *sheepish grin* I also wanted to share my latest desktop (made especially for me by me heh)
I shall call him Hugh, and he shall be mine, and he shall be my Hugh.

These are all the same, in different sizes. If none of them are your desktop's size, use the large one and shrink it in an image manipulation app. I took this from my porch (I believe, maybe living room) from my former Boston apartment 2 summers ago.
Normal (800x600) Big (1280x1024) Biggest (1600x1200)
Posted by cochick (Member # 6167) on :
Narnia - that is one of my favourite movies - haven't sen it for ages though.
Abrynne - you are one incredibly talented girl.
Bokonon - thats Beautiful!
I'll have to try dig out some of my shots - but my scanners not great and I've not yet got a digital camera. I love photography.
Posted by Abrynne (Member # 5826) on :
That is gorgeous Bokonon!
Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :
Wowswer Bok. That's a great shot.
*saves*
Posted by Derrell (Member # 6062) on :
Bokonon, That is so cool.
Posted by Annie (Member # 295) on :
I Love the That Thing You Do shot! That's great!
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
This is on my desktop right now. While Jes is working on cells he puts the projects on the desktop in the middle stages. I'm pretty sure there's a more complete version of this on our computer right now, but I can't find it. This a shrunken-down Jpeg of it, so it's pretty crappy quality. The finished one is much better...more lighting effects and actual furniture where the blocky spacesavers are right now. But here it is, anyway.
