  • I’ve added widescreen versions of “Arboreal”, “Aquamarine”, “Hybrid”, and “Song of the Sky”.

  • Last week I decided to take a short break from creating new wallpapers. I just needed to do something else for a little while and recharge my batteries. Rather then let the time go completely to waste however, I’ve set about addressing some of the special requests which I get on a daily basis.

    I’m always getting emails from folks using Apple Cinema displays asking me to render wallpapers to fit their screens. If you have one of these widescreen monitors, this is your lucky day. I’ve just posted a starter collection of 14 wallpapers at 1920 x 1200 resolution. They will fit the larger Apple displays (and some other widescreen monitors), and can be scaled down to accurately fit the widescreen Ibook displays (I hope).

    If you like these and want to see more, please drop me a line and let me know.

  • Thanks to everyone who’s written me with comments on “Arboreal”. It sounds like most of you like the image and have no problem viewing it on your screens. Great!

    There was one thing that needed fixing however. A mapping error on my part resulted in the background planet having a strange, elongated shape. I’ve redone the render and replaced the image that I posted on Monday.

  • Added “Arboreal” to the gallery today. I just know I’m going to get a ton of email from people telling me that this one is too dark for their screens. It’s dark on my monitor too, but that’s the point. It’s supposed to be a somber night scene where everything is just barely visible. It is definitely best viewed in a dark room on a sharp monitor. I hope it works for some of you at least.

  • I’ve added a dual-monitor version of Alpine to the 2X gallery.
