skyhighmac Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 ..but I can, hehe. Funny. I've been having problems accessing some websites (like google and yahoo search). I can't even get to the servers from the links. (Fixed) Anyways, great job on these walls! The gray one will be my desktop as soon as I can get it! (They are cool!)

asstastic Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Any chance we could ge these as .PNG? the jpegs have a lot of compression artifacts that don't do justice at all to all the clean lines in these walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can give that a shot. Won't be able to upload them at this moment though. However, I did have some problems with one of the middle shapes, where there was a really sharp, pixelated line - Sb.

Sabr Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 imo they are ugly ( im not in ass kissing mood) Criticism is fine - but the least you can do is tell me why you think that (and if you're feeling nice, how I can improve them would be good too).

Sabr Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 hey where is the graphite one in that PSD zip? I never made a graphite PSD. I changed the colours of the orange one Flatten the layers, then press Ctrl + U. Then select "Colourize" and drag the hue bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabr Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Well, it doesn't make sense to create another PSD with just another colour. Waste of space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
