Wallpaper Request: I know, I know....

February 18, 2004 2:06:17 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Wondering if anyone can/want to make a nature/landscape related wallpaper. Using a sakura (cherry blossom) tree as the main focus. Minimalisic background as to not distract the point of the wallpaper.

I know, I know. It's a long shot, but I trying my luck here and see if anyone is up to the challenge. There's just too many pond, ocean, sunset, mountain wallpapers.

You might look into Asian art for something like that. I have seen many online galleries of ancient and modern Japanese and Chinese art that had just the motif you describe. I think I actually have some socked away somewhere.

Somthing like this?: http://www.devonian.ualberta.ca/yuhuan/pic7.html

In a quick Google I found this: http://www.ukiyoe-gallery.com/

and this is good, too: http://www.bahnhof.se/~secutor/ukiyo-e/guide.html

Looks like lots of good stuff. This person seems interested in that kind of art, too, and has a few and some really good links: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/ukiyoe/

I've tried google (still trying). Yes, those images are the ideas that I had in mind. But those are just images. Low res. as well. If you can find yours, I would love to take a look at them.

I have 1600x1200 res. Hard to find quality walls for that size.

#4 should have a photo, oh well.

Someone should make a guide as to how to post pics, links, and other "tips/tricks" that could be done on the board. It might be my brower, FireFox, but the photo icon doesn't work for me.

Not sure if this is what you want - There are trees in the background.

Something like this... http://www.ukiyoe-gallery.com/ukiyoe/b123b.jpg Without people, snow or too much of little "distractions" in the background, ie. snow, other trees, buildings... Of course, replacing the main tree with a cherry blossom tree.

OK I tried. If it's not accepted I'll provide a link. Also if it's not what you want we'll keep working at it. I know how a "wrong" wallpaper can affect one.

Judging from your skins, I'm sure you'll do a great job. Your "Feeling Pinks" walls are are a good example of what I'm looking for, but more "natural/real" (not to bright/cartoony), possibly a sunset in the horizon.

A lot of you don't care for that site but I love looking at the wallpapers! I don't understand the Gain thing.............
uMOp, this one actually does have a sunset, the only reproduction I could find in the right size was a flowering cherry bonzai, it's pretty cool looking though. I'm working on Knockout to get the Sakura seperated from it's city background of another one. (Just lost my job so I needed something to do) Thanks to the resolution of the bonzai tree I ended up applying a porcelain filter so it may fit into your cartoonized category. We'll see!

Spunt, you might have spyware on your system. The kind that lanuches when you visit certain sites. (ie. popups on sites that doesn't have popups).

MGiff, could you upload the bonzai wallpaper, so I can take a look at it? Or email it to me? upsidedown20@hotmail.com Oh, I didn't mean to make into a cartoonized wallpaper, somewhere between real and cartoon. Or have to versions.

I should learn how to use photoshop beyond editing photos.
