Digital Blasphemy | 3D Wallpaper

A few items to mention today. First, I’ve added the dual and triple-screen versions of “Phraxis Moon” to the Members gallery this afternoon. Those of you who thought the physics of such a scene were outlandish in the single screen version will find more to love in the expanded frame.
I’ve also finally come up with a design I can be proud of for Zazzle’s black t-shirts. It took quite a bit of fiddling with my original Lightwave file to render a version that would work well but I’m very happy with this. The text is customizable so write whatever you like or remove it altogether. I’m going to be ordering a few of these right now for the me & the family. Sure to raise an eyebrow or two at my kid’s school but that’s okay with me 😉
FYI: Zazzle is offering 17.76% off all t-shirt orders this weekend if you use the coupon code “LANDOFTHETEE”. The design is available on any of Zazzle’s black appearal including long sleeve tees and sweatshirts for all ages and genders. Enjoy!
Lastly I wanted to give a plug for a wallpaper management program that one of my Members is developing. It’s called “Chronowall” and it adds some features that seem tailor-made for my images (changing the image according to time of day, shifting the hue for different colors, and other cool effects). The program is in beta right now but he may still have some slots open if you want to sign up as a tester. The developer was also nice enough to purchase a commercial license and feature my work in his example screenshots. Well done Joshua!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Couple of items to mention today. First, I’ve added “Happy 4th” to the free gallery today. I wish those of you in the US a safe and happy holiday weekend! I do have a couple of other fitting wallpapers that my Members can choose from.
I also wanted to let you all know that I’ve signed a license agreement with Muralsyourway.com today. I already offer posters through Zazzle but these are a bit different. They are designed to take up an entire wall! I hope to have my images up and available by next week so watch this space if you are interested.
If there’s an image you would really like to see available as a mural please feel free to post in the comments thread below!

I’ve added Pickle Jar thumbnails to the gallery pages so you can see all of the versions at a glance. Here’s an example with a brand new “pickle” added just today and one more for new pickle for good measure.

The reaction to “Phraxis Moon” was so positive that I decided to spend a few more hours to flesh out the rough bits so it could have its own place in my gallery. Thanks for the feedback everyone! This is your gallery too..
PS: The prices on my Amazon links for signups and renewals will go back to normal tomorrow. (06-29-11 edit: The sale is over. Thanks everyone!)

I found this render on my old computer last night and wondered why I never posted it in the first place. It was from 2009 when I was developing “Phraxis” so I have placed it in the Pickle Jar there for Members to download. It’s pretty rough but interesting to look at.
I am usually at odds when I develop a space scene. There are usually two ways to go: I can use the view “from space” or I can try a view from “the ground”. With Phraxis I eventually went with the space view. Which do you prefer?
I also wanted to mention that I’ve added Amazon Payments for both new signups and renewals. You can become a Member (or renew) as easily and securely as you would purchase anything else on Amazon and be downloading artwork immediately.
To kick things off I am offering $5 off of my 1, 2, and 3 year Memberships for new Members who sign up through Amazon and I am going to do the same with my 2 and 3 year renewals. Lifetime Memberships and Renewals are both $10 off through the Amazon links.
I didn’t discount the least expensive Memberships/Renewals because Amazon doubles their fee for charges under $10. Sorry!
No coupon required but you have to use the Amazon buttons to get the discount!
Limited time only so act now 😉
