I’ve added dual and triple-screen renders of “The Gardener (2012)” to the Members Gallery this afternoon.

The astronomically observant will notice that I’ve removed the glow around the planet for this version. The single-monitor version will be updated soon. Hope you enjoy it!

I should also have the multiscreen version of “Gotham Garden (Winter)” finished shortly.

I also wanted to mention that I have added 248 images sized 850 x 315 to be used as Facebook “Timeline” cover images. You can check out an example at my own personal profile page.

These images are free for everyone to download and use. I haven’t slapped a huge watermark on them (as I’ve seen on just about every other downloadable Timeline image) but I would certainly love it if you would include a link to DB (http://digitalblasphemy.com/ is fine) with the image.

As I said, they are free for all to download (look under the 850 x 315 image links under “Free Mobile Wallpapers” on my image pages). Members do have access to a zip file collection containing all 248 files here.

Happy 2012 everyone! I added “The Gardener (2012)” to the Members Gallery this morning. This was either going to be my last project of 2011 or my first of 2012.

It continues themes that I first explored with “The Gardener” in 2000 and 2002 and “Atrium” in 2004.

I hope you enjoy it!

Also wanted to report a bit of a setback in the hardware department. My Hydra workstation (pictured on the right here), which had been my main renderer from 2006 to April of last year, bit the bullet hard last week when the motherboard shorted out. I’m trying to decide right now whether to try salvage the system with a new MB (and potentially dodgy memory/components) or put together an all-new alternate renderer.

Regardless, your Memberships and Renewals are needed more than ever. Thanks!!

PS: Hoping to have the “Gotham Garden (Winter)” multiscreen finished within a day or two!

On Christmas day DB Member “Puritania” asked if I could possibly complete my Gotham Garden seasonal series by adding a winter version.

It took me about a year to get back to it but I am happy to report winter has finally come to Gotham. The changes needed for winter are a bit more complicated than for the warmer seasons but I think it turned out pretty well.

I hope you enjoy it. I will try to have the multiscreen up shortly!

Taking a few minutes out of building Legos with the boys to post a new “night sky” version of “Blue Christmas” in my Pickle Jar.

I still prefer the sunset version myself but it’s nice to have options. You could also load the versions into ChronoWall and have them change with the clock. Which do you prefer?

All of us at DB (myself, Jessie, Ian and Jason) wish you all the happiest of holidays and a wonderful 2012!

I’ve just added dual and triple-screen versions of my “Blue Christmas” update. From the feedback I’ve gotten so far it sounds like the twilight sky is bit polarizing.

For my part; I chose to add some color because so many of my Christmas tree wallpapers have been under black skies. I wanted to do something a little different. Maybe Christmas isn’t the time for “different” though. I tend to think that sometimes polarizing is a little better anyway, because it may be a stronger feeling for the people that do enjoy it.

What do you think? Either way I do think a second render will go up before I am completely finished with this one. The multiscreen in particular needs some nip-tucks before I am fully happy with it. I sort of rushed a few things so it would be ready in advance of the Holiday.
