I’ve added my 2012 version of “Winterborn” to the Members Gallery this morning. I actually put this one together a few weeks ago, but it seemed too early in the Autumn season (here in the Northern Hemisphere) to post such frosty wallpaper.
It’s probably still a bit too early but I think this one turned out nicely and it has never been in my nature to “sit on” a wallpaper.
Here’s the 2001 version if you are interested. I always thought the original render was a bit dark so I wanted this version to be brighter and have a little more “magic”.
I hope you guys enjoy it!!

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.
