Added a poster version of “Highland Spring” to my Zazzle collection this evening. I will definitely have to get a copy for myself.
I did a new render for the print version (so it would look good printed at 52″ wide) and tweaked the lighting a bit to correct some issues that I’d had with the original. Turned out I liked the new render so much that I’ve replaced the single-screen files in my gallery with files sourced from the new render (I will have to do a new multi-screen as well).
The changes are really subtle but if you are a stickler like me you might want to redownload it.

I’ve added the dual and triple-screen versions of “Cloverscape” to the gallery this morning.
Single-monitor users who found the original too blurry way want to look at adapting one of the multiscreen images. The multiscreens are framed a bit differently in this case and the in-focus area takes up significantly more of the vertical frame.
Enjoy!

How do you follow up a hit like “Highland Spring”? I thought it would be fun to go from the epic to something a lot more intimate.
“Cloverscape” was definitely created with St. Patrick’s Day in mind (it was conceived as an update to a holiday wallpaper I did back in 2001), but I think it works as a ode to spring as well.
I hope you enjoy it. I’ll try to have the multiscreens up ASAP!

The Apple iPad doesn’t come out for another few weeks but I have already had a fair number of people asking for images designed to fit the device. I’ve just posted 230 images (Members only) sized to fit the 768 x 1024 tablet. Zip file available here.
If anyone out there has an iPad I would love to see a picture of it sporting one of my backgrounds. You can post it on my Facebook wall, send it to me through Twitter, or just send me a link. Thanks!

I’ve added the dual and triple-screen versions of “Highland Spring” this afternoon. People really seem to like this one and I’m thrilled!
You might be interested to know that “Highland Spring” pushed my workstation to its memory limit. It required 13GB of RAM to render (I have 16GB installed) and contained over 25 billion polys. When the dual six-core Xeons become available I may have to make the jump (and go up to 32 GB of RAM).
Speaking of new workstations, here’s one last reminder for Members: My renewal sale expires tonight at midnight. I’m offering 20% off the renewal of your choice so you can upgrade to a Lifetime Membership for only $60 or add a year for under $10. The renewal form is here (use coupon code “thankyou”). Thanks!!
