One of the problems of using “pre-release” software is that the possibility of show-stopping bugs. I ran smack into one of these with the new version of Vue 11.
I came up with a nice winter update to “Green & Gold” and even managed to render a first draft. Unfortunately, the software crashed as I was making revisions and now (for some strange reason) I am unable to open my scene file. I’ve contacted the developers about the problem but I haven’t heard back yet.
I’m not sure I will ever be able to reopen this file to do any more work on it, and I don’t have the hear to redo everything from scratch right now. Rather than sit on the render I have decided to post it in the Pickle Jar so the interested Members can check it out.
There are still quite a few issues to work out so please be gentle in your critiques 😉

Quite a few Members wanted to see what “Sleepwalkers would look like without the zombies. Leaving them out makes the title a bit nonsensical but it does expand the uses for the wallpaper beyond Halloween.
I’ve added a new version (which I have dubbed “Nosleepwalkers”) to the Pickle Jar this morning. I left the crows however 😉

I’ve added the dual and triple-screen versions of “Sleepwalkers” to the Members Gallery this morning. I’ve shifted the scene to the left for dual-screen users everything isn’t split down the middle.
I will see about maybe rendering a version without the “walkers” over the weekend.

I’ve added “Sleepwalkers” to the Members Gallery this morning. For my Halloween wallpaper this year I set out to create a creepier version of “Elegy” and mix in elements from “Forest of the Shades” and “Dark Wings“. The title also refers back to one of my first Halloween wallpapers.
PS: Please be sure to check out the new Digital Blasphemy app in the Google Play store!

I’ve had something of a love-hate relationship with Android for a past few years. On the one hand, Android a lot more “customization-friendly” than Apple so I think it works best with my artwork. On the other hand, the default webkit doesn’t play nice with my Members Gallery and it is a hassle for my Members to download my work.
That is why I am thrilled to announce that the “official” Digital Blasphemy Android App is now live on Google Play. DB Member Paul Miller put in a lot of hours coding it and I provided input and suggestions as needed.
Members can use it to access my work on the go and it makes it very simple to set the wallpaper on your device. You can also read my updates, rate the images and leave comments that will appear on DB.
Non-Members can use it to browse the gallery and download the free mobile resolutions but cannot rate images or leave comments.
This is version 1.0 and (as Paul says) “There’s still an awful lot on the todo list”. I am really looking forward to seeing it develop after guys start making suggestions!!
