Talking Guild Wars Fanart: Wallpapers

Hello, My GW Alias is I Might Avenge U. I came to the Nolani area, to find some wallpapers and came to realize some tough luck! THERE WERE NONE! (<Insert OMG O_o>). So Instead of doing my usual and letting it be, I decided to take a crack at it. Become a man, and try my luck at making the wallpapers myself. So far, it's been a rocky start, so sorry if they come out like crap lol...

My Wallpapers

THESE ARE JUST DISPLAYS! READ DOWNLOADING FOR NORMAL SIZE!

My Last Wallpaper



I would like to release as many as possible, so if you would like to see some of my past wallpapers or use some of my renders, here is my gallery:

DOWNLOADING
If you would like any of these free wallpapers, I made this little guide to show you how to get these wallpapers onto your computer . Assuming you know how to set a background on your Computer, this should tell you all you need to know... And More ...

Downloading Guide

hmmmm, I like them but I see some room for inmprovement.

My idea of a desktop background is always that it shouldn't be to colorfull. I prefer the more single toned background, the seem more relaxing to the eyes.

Also, try to support higher resolutions. Like guildwars.com they offer a wide range of resolutions.
Full Screen: 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, 1280x1024, 1600x1200
Widescreen:1280x800, 1680x1050, 1920x1200

Most common are 1024x768 and 1280x1024

^^ Thx, I'm trying to do better in each one, My last one was by far the bes, which isn't exactly saying a lot. As Far as Resolutions go, It shouldn't be that hard, I'll start on my next project.

As far as the next one goes, there is a bit of thought that is going into it, and it doesn't have too much color... If you don't like color

P.S. i organized my Gallery

I Finally got another one done





This one was really fun, I tried out a pixel fading dealio on his arms and legs, and I did some "gel" text and "Chrome text! I put up two variations in the gallery

As far as the Resolutions.. I'm sorry, because I didn't start this one until after discussing resolution. I swear there will be more by the next one

Tell me what you guys think!

took me FOREVER! Now I get to work on another fun one

I decided to take a little break from the X-Ray wallpaper, and do a different one:



Tell me whatchya guys think..

This one Supports 9 resolutions I believe, all of which are in my Gallery

I organized it more also, there is now sets for both Fullscreen and Widescreen Wallpapers.

Finally got the X-Ray Wallpaper done, The background is sort of weird, but at least I tried

I also got to use a GW font, that is relatively similar to the logo, thanks to Elite Master Sei

There's 9 Resolutions for this one too..

Whadaya guys think?


EDIT: There were some uploading Problems, I think the 1600x1200 Resolution came out to 1024x768, my bad, I guess it got resized somehow, I can't be sure though..
