Isn't it a bit weird to have a man on your background when you can have a woman? :mrgreen:

I like the green celtic thing, the wallpaper is so-so but the sig & avatar is really something. You'd think people would relate it with the hulk but it looks eerie in it's own natural way, nice stuff.

I like the rusty city background, but I don't like how big the stroke is on the top text or the font on the Nas text.

[start frustration]Goddamn I'm frustrated. Have a good concept (two actually) for walls that I think will be very, very good. But I just can the techy side of it to work well, there's something missing and I don't know how to do it. Looked for tuts/brushes/actions, but noooo.

I'm willing to hit someone hard right about now.

DAMN![end frustration]

EDIT:

Can you see what I'm trying to do? sinner/saint-thing and I can't make the saint-part look ...saintly enough, and the sinner-part sinful enough.

First, make a straighter line down Paul for the saint/sin thing. Also try doing two different color schemes in the background you use, one light and flowery, one dark. Also, outline him with some brushing (2 different colors of course) and then lower their opacities. I guess that's a very small and general way of suggesting what you should do. It'll look better if you figure out how to make it work, though.

If you want to make a "darker" side of Paul, make sure to change the font of the Celtics jersey. I don't know how, but make it more cool, like broken, or something... :P

Updated

Starting to like the outcome but don't have any good evil brushes, and I don't know what to do about him being cut-off. But getting there.

Now extend the background out. Make some brushing on that right side with light colors (use things other than green as well), and then extend the dark side with black/brown grunge brushes.

That's nice, Habbakuk. If you cover the "good" side, Paul looks really evil, like a zombie or something (Y) :P Nice idea

you should try to change the eybrows on the evil side to make him look angry.

I'd vary with the brushes a bit more. They are nice though. Nice stuff dude. (Y)

Although I wouldn't put it as my wallpaper, I prefer having females on my desktop. :mrgreen:

Nice wallpaper, but I still think it'd look better if he was centered (since his body is symmetrical, it'd make sense if the entire composition was symmetrical) Assymmetry is good, but in this kind of composition, I'd stick with the figure centered.
